Laminar IP respects your privacy. We take the task of protecting your personal information very seriously. Your use of our website or our services signifies implied agreement to this Privacy Policy.
We collect and use personal information only to the extent permitted by law, particularly the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, which Laminar IP is subject to. Our website may contain hyperlinks to third party websites that are not managed by us, and therefore not subject to this Privacy Policy.
‘Personal information’ referred to in this Privacy Policy consists of any information or opinion that identifies you or that will enable your identity to be reasonably ascertained. Personal information can include your name and contact details such as your residential or postal address, email address or your telephone number.
Information which cannot be reasonably linked to your identity (e.g. IP address, browser information, favourite websites or the number of users of a website) does not constitute personal information and is not regulated by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
The personal information that we collect is primarily related to our services. The personal information collected may vary depending on your particular interaction with Laminar IP but will be limited to the information necessary to record and manage our interaction with you or as permitted or required by law.
If we provide you (or an entity related to you) with credit, we may also collect and hold credit information and credit eligibility information about you. Without limitation, this may include credit reports, identification information, consumer credit liability information, details of amounts payable to us and the terms of the relevant credit, and information relating to payments made, default information and payment information.
By providing personal information and/or continuing to engage with Laminar IP, you consent to your personal information being collected, used and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Each time you visit our website, our web servers automatically save the name of your browser and operating system, your IP address, your Internet Service Provider, the website from which you accessed our website, the webpages you visit while with us and the date and time you spend on our website.
Laminar IP’s servers save this information for security purposes. We may also evaluate anonymous or de-identified data sets for statistical purposes.
Personal information may be collected through our website. We will only collect personal information that you provide us and you are entirely free to decide whether or not to supply this information.
If you contact us, personal information about you may be collected. Personal information that may be collected about you includes:
Occasionally, we may also collect personal information about you from third parties. For example, we may collect personal information about you from an entity related to you or credit eligibility information about you from Credit Reporting Bodies (CRBs) if we provide you (or an entity related to you) with credit.
The personal information that we hold is generally kept confidential. However, in servicing our clients, we may be required to disclose personal information to certain third parties which may include:
We do not disclose personal information for the purpose of third party direct marketing.
We only disclose personal information to third parties (such as agents and associates in foreign countries) where we are instructed to do so by our clients in relation to their matters or as may be required by law.
The CRBs we may deal with include Dun and Bradstreet (http://dnb.com.au/). Copies of their privacy policy dealing with how they manage credit-related personal information can be found on their websites or by contacting them via telephone.
However, notwithstanding the above, you acknowledge that by providing us with your personal information, you agree to the disclosure of your personal information to third parties operating outside of Australia. You acknowledge and agree that we will not be liable to you for any breach of the Privacy Act by these overseas third parties on the basis that you consent to such disclosure.
If you fail to make a payment to Laminar IP as and when due or commit a serious credit infringement, we may disclose details of such events to CRBs. A CRB may use such information in reports given to other credit providers to help assess your creditworthiness. You have certain rights to request that CRBs do not use or disclose credit reporting information about you if you believe on reasonable grounds you have been or are likely to be a victim of fraud. You should contact the CRB directly using the contact details above if you wish to request this.
