The information Everlon collects and stores includes information that identifies you as its customer, such as your name, address, date of birth, place of business, credit card details and nature of business.

Generally, all personal information is collected directly from you, or with your consent, and Everlon’s policy is to collect only personal information that Everlon needs to conduct Everlon’s business.

Everlon collects personal information in order to provide its customers with its products or services and in order to manage its relationship with its customers and with the people Everlon does business with.

In relation to Everlon’s customers, Everlon may also request information about you in order to help you decide which of Everlon’s products or services would best suit your requirements.

Everlon will not collect sensitive information about you (such as details of your race, political beliefs, religion or health) without your consent.

3.3 Other disclosures

Unless you have expressly or impliedly consented to such disclosure Everlon does not sell, rent or trade personal information to or with third parties.

4. Access and correction

Under the Privacy Act, you have a right to seek access to information which Everlon holds about you (although there are some exceptions to this). You also have the right to ask Everlon to correct information about you which is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

If you wish to exercise your right under the Privacy Act to seek access to the personal information that Everlon holds about you, you must contact Everlon’s Privacy Officer (details at point 7 (Contacting Everlon) below), who will explain how Everlon will handle your access request.

Everlon will assume (unless you notify in writing to Everlon otherwise) that your request for access relates to Everlon’s current records about you. These current records include personal information about you which is included in Everlon’s databases and in paper files, and which may be used by Everlon on a day to day basis.

To provide you with access to this personal information, Everlon would ordinarily provide you with a print-out of the relevant personal information from Everlon’s databases, or with photocopies of records which are held only on paper files. If personal information about you (for example, your name & address details) is duplicated across different databases, Everlon will generally provide you with one printout of this information only. Ordinarily, Everlon will not charge you for the cost of providing this type of access to these records.

For legal and administrative reasons, Everlon may also store records containing personal information in its archives. You may seek access to the records held by Everlon which are not current records, but if you do so, Everlon may charge you a reasonable fee for the cost of providing access.

If you are of the view that personal information about you is not accurate, complete or up to date, please provide Everlon’s Privacy Officer with your request for correction (contact details are set out at 7 (Contacting Everlon below). Everlon’s policy is to consider any requests for correction in a timely way.
