Our Privacy Policy seeks to safeguard the privacy of your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (“the APP’s”) contained within the Privacy Act.

In addition to this Privacy Policy, we may also have specific and additional privacy provisions that apply to certain activities and promotions. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Privacy Policy and those other specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions provided to you will apply.

Please note that if at any time Parklakes II is required by law to release information about you, Parklakes II must cooperate fully.

This Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time and may be revised. This Privacy Policy represents the latest version of the Parklakes II Privacy Policy.

1. YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

Parklakes II recognises that your privacy is very important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that trust seriously. Unless you give us explicit consent to act otherwise, the following policy will govern how Parklakes II handles your personal information and safeguards your privacy.

1.1 What does “personal information” mean?

Personal information is any information about you that identifies you or by which your identity may be reasonably determined. By collecting this personal information we are able to: 

  • Contact you when and where necessary;
  • Ensure that you attain the best possible service; and
  • Identify you and protect you from any unauthorised access to your personal information.

If you choose not to provide personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with access to parts of the website or to certain content, products and services available on or from our website.

1.2 The kinds of personal information we collect and hold

Personal information which we may collect and hold includes:-

  • Your name, date of birth and address including email address;
  • Your phone number and mobile phone number;
  • Other personal information necessary for the services we offer to you.

Parklakes II may record anonymous information which tells us about visitors to our website but not the identity of those visitors. For example, we may collect information about the date, time and duration of those visits and which pages of our website are being commonly accessed. We may also use “cookies” that are small pieces of information that allow an organisation to track websites browsed by you. You may be able to adjust your browser to disable cookies. However, if you do disable cookies, you may not be able to interact with our website or take advantage of the improved functionality that cookies enable.

1.3 How Parklakes II collects and holds personal information

Parklakes II will collect your personal information directly from you where possible. In some instances, we will collect your personal information from an associate of yours, in which case we will obtain your consent.

As a general rule, we do not collect sensitive information. However, if we do, it will usually be for the purposes of providing our services and we will seek your consent to collect it.

In the course of providing the requested services, we may collect and hold personal information relating to an associate of yours where it is impractical or unreasonable to seek the same information directly from the associate. You must take reasonable steps to ensure that you are authorised to disclose that information to Parklakes II.

1.4 How Parklakes II uses your personal information

We will tell you why we are collecting information when we collect it and how we plan to use it or these things will be obvious when we collect the information. Personal information is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted or for such other secondary purposes that are related to that purpose, unless we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time of collection.

Parklakes II collects and holds your personal information in order to fulfil a service for you, whether it is the provision of our services, providing you with upcoming news from Parklakes II that may interest you, or updating you in relation to further developments.

We may use personally identifiable information in aggregate form to improve our services and make them more responsive to the needs of our customers. This statistical compilation and analysis of information may also be used by us or provided to others as a summary report for marketing, advertising or research purposes.

Further, we will utilise your personal information together with our sales agents Just Real Estate Sales & Marketing (ABN 50 124 968 485).

We will not sell, transfer, assign or rent your personal information. In order to operate the website and to deliver to you the service which you have requested, we may sometimes share your personal information to an affiliate or subsidiary which is necessary to deliver your requested items or services to you. We will not otherwise disclose your personal information to other companies without your consent.

1.5 Who would Parklakes II disclose your personal information to?

Parklakes II may need to disclose your personal information in certain circumstances. For example, your personal information may be required to be disclosed in providing our services, such as disclosing your information to statutory authorities in the completion of our services to you.

As noted above, we will utilise your personal information with our sales agents, Just Real Estate Sales & Marketing in order to deliver the necessary services to you.

We may also disclose your personal information where you have consented to us doing so in providing you with our services or where disclosure is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was submitted.

Parklakes II will, at all times, attempt to ensure that we do not disclose your personal information to a third party where consent for such disclosure has not been given. In all cases where we may be required to disclose information we will attempt to obtain your direct consent for such disclosure.

Please note that if at any time Parklakes II is required by law to release information about you, we must cooperate fully.
