Your acknowledgement of our Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy is published on our website in order to meet our obligation under Australian Privacy Principle 1.3 which requires us to set out our policies on the management of personal information in a clearly expressed document which is available to anyone who asks for it.
Without limiting the generality of the above statement, your request for information or a quote, your use of our products or services or your use of this website constitutes an acknowledgement that you have been made aware of our privacy policies.
This policy does not create or confer upon any individual any rights, or impose upon the Pickering Transport Group any rights or obligations outside of, or in addition to, those rights or obligations imposed by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), or related legislation (‘the legislation’).
Should there be, in a specific case, any inconsistency between this statement and the Act, this statement shall be interpreted, in respect of that case, to give effect to, and comply with the legislation.
This policy includes examples but is not intended to be restricted in its application to such examples, therefore where the word ‘including’ is used, it shall mean ‘including without limitation’.
What is ‘Personal Information’
‘Personal information’ means information we hold about you from which your identity is either clear or can be reasonably determined. When you give us your personal information, it imposes a serious responsibility on us. Protecting your privacy when handling your personal information is very important to us and is fundamental to the way we serve you.
About this Privacy Policy
We respect your personal information and your right to privacy. Protecting your privacy when handling your personal information is very important to us and is fundamental to the way we serve you.
This Privacy Policy describes the information that may be collected by Pickering Transport Group, the choices you can make about your personal information and how we protect your personal information.
If you would like a printed version of this policy, you can print this document using your browser. Alternatively, this Privacy Policy is available upon request; simply ask one of our staff.
Collection covered by this Policy
This Privacy Policy applies to situations in which Pickering Transport Group collects your personal information, including but not limited to collection via websites operated by or on behalf of the Pickering Transport Group.
This website may contain links to non-Pickering Transport Group websites. The Pickering Transport Group is not responsible for the privacy policies of those other websites. We recommend you review the privacy policies of each site you visit.
Collection of personal information and how we may use it
Generally, we will collect personal information directly from you, and only to the extent necessary to provide a Pickering Transport Group product or service or to carry out our internal administrative operations.
In some circumstances a third party may provide your personal information (name and contact details only) to us, and only to the extent necessary, in order for us to provide a Pickering Transport Group product or service or to carry out our internal administrative operations.
We may collect personal information when:
Uses and sharing
As noted above, we will only collect personal information that’s necessary to provide the product or service or to carry out internal administrative functions. We collect different personal information depending on the product or service requested. Some examples include:
Generally, we will not use your personal information to market to you unless we have either your implied or express consent but in situations where it is impractical to obtain your prior consent, we will ensure you have an ability to opt out of future such communications.
We do not share your personal information with other organisations or to overseas recipients unless you give us your express consent, or where sharing is otherwise required or permitted by law, or where this is necessary on a temporary basis to enable our contractors to perform specific functions.
When we temporarily provide personal information to companies who perform services for us, such as specialist information technology companies, mail houses or other contractors to Pickering Transport Group we require those companies to protect your personal information as diligently as we do.
Unsolicited information
“Unsolicited” personal information is personal information about an individual that an organisation has unintentionally received. This is an uncommon occurrence for Pickering Transport Group, but when it does happen, we will protect your personal information with the same rigour as we treat personal information that we intended to collect. If we could not have collected this information through our normal processes, we will de-identify that information as soon as we can.
Your rights and choices
You may interact with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym (an alias) where this is lawful and practicable.
You have the right to request access to the personal information you provide, and to correct or update your personal information. This right is subject to certain exceptions allowed by law.
You may choose to not provide personal information when requested. If you choose to not provide your personal information when requested, we may not be able to deliver the product or service that you have requested. We will endeavour to make this as clear as possible for each service.
Direct marketing and your privacy
From time to time we may use the personal information we collect from you to identify particular Pickering Transport Group products and services which we believe may be of interest to you. We may then contact you to let you know about these products and services and how they may benefit you. We will generally only do this with your consent and we will always give you a choice to opt out of receiving such information in future.
Direct mail
Where we use your personal information to send you marketing information via the post we may do so with your implied consent or, if this is impracticable, we will ensure that you are provided with an opportunity to tick an “opt out” box to ensure you do not receive future such communications. By not ticking a clearly displayed “opt out” box, we will assume we have your implied consent to receive similar marketing communications in the future. We will always ensure that our opt out notices are clear, conspicuous and easy to take up.
Electronic marketing
Where we use your personal information to send you marketing information by e- mail, SMS, MMS or other electronic means we may do so with your express or implied consent. You may give us your express consent by, for example, ticking a box on an electronic or paper form where we seek your permission to send you electronic or other marketing information. Consent may be implied from our existing business relationship or where you have directly or indirectly provided us with your electronic address.
All of our electronic marketing activities will comply with the requirements of the Spam Act 2003 (Cth).
Your privacy preferences and choices
Every personalised marketing contact sent or made by the Pickering Transport Group will include a means by which customers may opt of receiving further marketing information.
You may instruct us at any time to remove any previous consent you provided to receive marketing communications from us.
Information sharing
We have a strict duty to maintain the privacy of all personal information we hold about you. However, certain exceptions do apply. For example, where disclosure of your personal information is:
Use of third party service providers
Updating your information
It is inevitable that some personal information which we hold will become out of date. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information which we hold remains accurate and, if you advise us of a change of details, we will amend our records accordingly.
Access to your personal information
The Pickering Transport Group will, upon your request, and subject to applicable privacy laws, provide you with access to your personal information that is held by us.
However, we ask that you identify, as clearly as possible, the type/s of information requested. To access your personal information you may call, email, fax or write to us. The contact details are provided at the beginning of this policy.
The Pickering Transport Group will deal with your request to provide access to your personal information in a reasonable time - usually within 30 days of receipt of your request.
We will not charge you for lodging such a request but we may recover from you our reasonable costs incurred in supplying you with access to this information.
Exceptions
Your right to access your personal information is not absolute. In certain circumstances, the law permits us to refuse your request to provide you with access to your personal information, such as circumstances where:
o we have reason to suspect that unlawful activity, or misconduct of a serious nature, that relates to our functions or activities has been, is being or may be engaged in;
o giving access would be likely to prejudice the taking of appropriate action in relation to the matter; or
Refusal to give access
Should we refuse access to your personal information, or refuse to give access in the manner requested we will provide you written notice setting out:
a. the reasons for the refusal except to the extent that, having regard to the grounds for the refusal, it would be unreasonable to do so; and
b. the mechanisms available to complain about the refusal; and

Consent may take a variety of forms including offline consent such as printing and submitting a permission form by mail, email or fax, or online consent such as by ticking an online check box that parental or guardian consent has been obtained.
