If it is required by the Act we will seek your consent before disclosing to these organisations, otherwise we will only disclose your personal information to these organisations where is it reasonable in the circumstances.

Where the Act permits us to do so, and in order to further your enquiry and/or application, we may disclose your personal information to a financial intermediary (such as a broker or other financial institution) or credit provider. Such financial intermediary or credit provider may also disclose your personal information to CRBs such as Veda or Dunn & Bradstreet, if you apply for or make an enquiry for credit.

  • if you fail to meet payment obligations in relation to commercial or consumer credit or commit a serious credit infringement, your credit provider may be entitled to disclose this to the CRB

Oldtimer Centre® Pty Ltd does not disclose your personal information for any secondary purposes unless your consent has been given or as required by law.

MARKETING

OVERSEAS DISCLOSURE

Any personal information provided to us may be transferred to, stored by or disclosed to an overseas recipient. For example, we may use a server hosted overseas to store data, which may include your personal information, or engage an organisation located overseas to assist us in our general business operations.

Before your information is disclosed to an overseas recipient we will take steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach privacy laws in relation to your personal information (“reasonable steps”).

However, the reasonable steps may not apply, if we reasonably believe (when disclosing your personal information to the overseas recipient) that:

  • the recipient of the information is subject to a law, that has the effect of protecting the information in a way that, overall, is at least substantially similar to the way in which the Act protects the information; and
  • there are mechanisms that an individual can access to take action to enforce the protection of their privacy.

UNSOLICITED INFORMATION

We will take reasonable steps to determine whether or not information we receive may be unsolicited information. If we believe that information is unsolicited information, we will destroy the information as soon as practicable or ensure that it is de-identified.

ANONYMITY

Only where it is practicable to do so, we may allow you the option not to identify yourself when dealing with us. However not identifying yourself to us may make it difficult to effectively provide you with our products or services.

GOVERNMENT IDENTIFIERS

We will not use government identifiers such as your tax file number or Medicare number to identify you.
