Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by Every Battery Pty Ltd.

In this policy we explain how and why we collect your personal information, how we use it and what controls you have over your data.

In addition to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, there may also be specific and additional privacy and consent provisions that apply to certain payment providers; Afterpay & Zippay & ZipMoney.

Internet Cookies and Passive Collection

As you navigate through our Websites and access our Applications, certain information can be passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data collection (log files & server logs). For example, we may collect information about matters including but not limited to the date, time and duration of visits and which pages of a Website or Application are most commonly accessed. This information is generally not linked to the identity of visitors, except where a Website or Application is accessed via links in an email or another electronic message we have sent or where we are able to uniquely identify the device or user accessing a Website or Application, such as when you are logged into an account.

We may combine your anonymous or personal visitor session information or other information collected through tracking technologies with other personal information collected from you from time to time, in order to understand and measure your online experiences and to determine what products, promotions and services are likely to be of interest to you. By accessing a Website or Application via links in an email we have sent and/or by accessing a Website or Application where you have identified yourself, you consent to the collection of such information where it is personal information.

In order to operate a Website or Application or deliver a product or service (including for example, processing of credit card payments), personal information may also be shared with trusted third parties. Selected service providers and/or other trusted third parties may be engaged to perform a variety of functions, such as fulfilling orders, conducting market research, processing credit card payments, offering additional payment services (Afterpay, Zip Pay & Zip Money), assisting with promotions and providing technical services for our Websites. These services may have access to personal information if needed to perform such functions. However, these services may only use such personal information for the purpose of performing that function and may not use it for any other purpose.

We may use or disclose personal information held about an individual for the primary purpose for which it is collected – that is, to carry on our business and provide services to our customers. We may also use such information for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and where you would reasonably expect that we would use the information in such a way (e.g., major delivery companies, mail houses and third-party fulfillment contractors). This information is only disclosed to persons outside our business in the circumstances set out in this policy or as otherwise notified to you at the time of collection of the information, or with your permission.

In addition, we are permitted to use or disclose personal information held about you:

• Where you have consented to the use or disclosure;
• Where we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious, immediate threat to someone’s health or safety or the public’s health or safety;
• Where we reasonably suspect that unlawful activity has been, is being or may be engaged in and the use or disclosure is a necessary part of our investigation or in reporting the matter to the relevant authorities;
• Where such use or disclosure is required under or authorised by law (for example, to comply with a warrant or other order of a court or legal process); and
• Where you have requested a service (e.g., vehicle installation, assembly or product rental e.g., jump start) and we are required to disclose the information to our stores or third party in order to facilitate the provision of the service. There are some specific products and services we offer and we share your information as follows:

Links to Other sites and Services

Our Website may, from time to time, contain links to the websites of other organisations which may be of interest to you.

Linked websites are responsible for their own privacy practices and you should check those websites for their respective privacy statements if you interact with them. Every Battery is not responsible for the content of, nor does it accept any liability for the conduct of such companies.

Our Security and storage of this information

Our e-commerce sites use a security measure called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL locks all your critical information in an encrypted envelope, making it extremely difficult for this information to be intercepted as it passes across the internet. Our SSL technology is the industry standard in Internet security.

No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100 percent secure. As a result, while we strive to protect users’ personal information, Every Battery cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or from its online products or services, and users do so at their own risk. Once Every Battery receives your transmission, it makes every reasonable effort to ensure its security on our systems.

We will take reasonable steps to store your personal information securely. Only authorised team members have access to our customers’ personal information. Such access is subject to strict controls and procedures. Personal information is de-identified or destroyed securely when no longer required by us.

Every Battery retains the information you provide to us including your contact details to enable us to verify transactions and customer details and to retain adequate records for legal and accounting purposes. This information is held on secure servers in controlled facilities.

For security reasons, we need to verify the identity of the person/persons enquiring with a request to access (or update) personal information so that we can ensure your personal information is disclosed only to you. Inaccurate information will be corrected upon receiving advice from you.

If we refuse to provide you with access to or correct the personal information held about you by us, then we will provide reasons for such refusal. Every Battery will respond to any requests for access or correction within a reasonable time of receipt of the request.
