Our Commitment

Techtronic Industries Australia Pty Ltd ABN 98 002 277 509 (“we”, “our”, or “TTIA”) created this Privacy Policy (“Policy”), and is committed to providing you with the highest levels of professional service. This includes protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the “Privacy Act”) and, in turn, the Australian Privacy Principles (the National Privacy Principles up until March 2014) (“APPs”).

We understand the importance placed on the privacy of your personal information, and will take all reasonable steps to protect the privacy of the personal information that we collect, use or disclose.

In order for you to access certain services and to order our products via our website, we collect information that personally identifies you (“Personal Information”).

We collect Personal Information necessary to lawfully and ethically carry on our business or to recruit future employees.

Personal Information may include: (i) name, mailing and email addresses; (ii) residential address, city, state, postcode, area code, gender, age, purchase history, income, hobbies and interests (iii) products you own, model numbers, date and place of purchase. If you communicate with us by e-mail, or complete online forms, surveys or contest entries, any information provided in such communication may be collected as Personal Information.

If you would like to access any of our services on an anonymous basis, please tell us. If this is possible and lawful, we will take all reasonable steps to comply with your request. However, we may not be able to provide the services or supply the product in question if we are not provided with the Personal Information requested.
