The objective of this Privacy Policy (this Policy) is to provide a code of conduct in relation to the use of information on individuals, which may be collected, stored, and used by Polaris Sales Australia Pty. trading as Indian Motorcycle Australia (henceforth referred to as INDIAN). Personal information shall be protected. This Policy aligns with the thirteen Australian Privacy Principles (APP) as scheduled in the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act). Please visit www.privacy.gov.au for further information about this legislation.
INDIAN collects personal information in a number of different ways. INDIAN collects most information directly from customers where possible. INDIAN also collects personal information from its new and existing customers through warranty registration forms received directly or through one of its registered Dealers. INDIAN collects personal and business information about its Dealers. INDIAN also collects personal information from online forms on our website at http://www.indianmotorcycle.com.au
The services of INDIAN include:
For the purposes of the INDIAN Policy, these are referred to as “our services”
This Policy focuses on how INDIAN handles the personal information about its dealers and customers.
INDIAN may also handle information about people who do not fall within these categories – these people are INDIAN’s “business contacts” (eg. our suppliers). How INDIAN handles the personal information of its business contacts is discussed at section 7 below.
When you sign up as a Dealer with INDIAN, you will be asked to provide your name, address, ACN and ABN, all contact telephone numbers, your occupation, your email address and credit reference details. As a purchaser of a INDIAN product, you will be asked to provide your name, telephone number, address, email address and signature. As explained at section 3 below, the reason INDIAN collects this information is so that INDIAN can provide you with its services, manage its relationship with you, communicate with you effectively and identify which of its services will best meet your requirements. However, INDIAN doesn’t collect information it doesn’t need. For example, INDIAN doesn’t collect sensitive information because INDIAN doesn’t need it in order to provide you with its services.
INDIAN may provide you with promotional material from time to time. When INDIAN uses that personal information, INDIAN will offer people on the list an opportunity to be removed from its mailing list, or to “opt out” from receiving further promotional material. INDIAN ‘s use of personal information collected in the other ways outlined above is discussed at section 3 below.
The personal information collected from you by INDIAN is used:
If you do not provide INDIAN with personal information as we request from you, INDIAN may be unable to provide you with our full range of products and our services.
INDIAN may also enter into sponsorship or promotional arrangements with third parties from time to time.
In doing so, INDIAN will not provide personal information about you to its sponsors or partners; however
INDIAN may forward information about the products, services or promotions offered by its sponsors or partners to you.
If at any time you do not wish to be notified about the products, services or promotions offered by INDIAN sponsors please let INDIAN know. INDIAN ‘s contact details are listed under section 9 below.
Your personal information is accessible by employees or contractors of INDIAN for the purposes of providing you with INDIAN services. In the circumstances described below, personal information may be disclosed outside INDIAN and outside Australia, including to group companies and/or one or more third parties with whom it has a business relationship. As at the date of this Policy, the countries to which INDIAN transfer information include the USA.
Polaris Industries Australia and New Zealand is a wholly owned subsidiary of Polaris Industries Inc. Your personal information will be provided to the Parent Company in order to assist them in providing you with their services. This Privacy Policy does not apply to the collection, use and disclosure of information by Polaris Industries Inc. If you wish to view their privacy policy, you may do so by contacting them at consumer.service@polarisind.com
Personal information collected by INDIAN may be disclosed to third parties to whom INDIAN contracts out specialised functions (including mailing houses and printing companies). For example, INDIAN may enter into a contractual arrangement with a secure mailing house, and it will be that third party’s contractual obligation to mail out information about the relevant products, services or promotions offered by that partner.
If INDIAN does disclose personal information to third party contractors under outsourcing or contracting arrangements, INDIAN takes steps to ensure those contractors:
The only other time INDIAN would make disclosures of personal information is if INDIAN is required to do so by law, or if the disclosure is permitted under the Privacy Act. INDIAN does not sell, rent or trade personal information to or with third parties.
Under the Privacy Act, you have a right to seek access to information which INDIAN holds about you (although there are some exceptions to this). You also have the right to ask INDIAN 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 INDIAN holds about you, INDIAN asks that you contact INDIAN’s Privacy Officer (details at section 9 below), who will explain how INDIAN will handle your access request. If you are of the view that personal information about you is not accurate, complete or up to date, please provide INDIAN’s Privacy Officer with your request for correction (contact details are set out at section 9 below). INDIAN’s policy is to consider any requests for correction within a reasonable period.
INDIAN takes steps to ensure the security of personal information held by it from such risks as loss or unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. INDIAN only permits your details to be accessed by authorised personnel, and it is a condition of employment that INDIAN’s employees maintain the confidentiality of personal information.
Sometimes, INDIAN needs to collect personal information about individuals who are not customers, or who are not people to whom INDIAN would generally offer its services. This will usually arise where INDIAN collects the name and business contact details of a person who is the contact in one of its suppliers or clients. INDIAN’s policy is to only use personal information collected from noncustomers for the business purpose for which it was collected.
INDIAN will apply this policy to all personal information it handles, whether collected on-line or otherwise. To the extent that this Policy applies to online privacy issues, it is to be read as forming part of the terms of use for the INDIAN website.
