Introduction
At ECL Technology Group Pty Ltd, trading as All Plan Approvals (hereafter, We, Our, or Us) we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your privacy when you interact with us, our website: planapprovals.com, our products and services, or when you access third party services using our software (Our Services).
We are committed to privacy protection and confidentiality of personal information and comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) as contained in the Privacy Act 1988 and where applicable the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDRP). We require our suppliers to comply with the APPs and GDRP too, to protect personal information (including any sensitive information) that our suppliers collect, hold or disclose while interacting with you using our software, products or services.
When you use Our Services, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of information about you as described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy applies to personal information and not to de-identified information collected by us to improve our products and services, or our interactions with you.
What Information Do We Collect?
We collect information from you when you register on our site, engage our services, place an order, subscribe to our newsletter, respond to a survey or fill out a form.
When ordering or registering on our site, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your: name, e-mail address, mailing address and phone number.
We may also collect information that allows us to:
- deliver products and services to you;
- administer and manage Our Services or for us to communicate with users of Our Services.
How Do We Collect and Hold Personal Information?
We will collect information directly from users by electronic means, for example, during a user registration process. Users may also be able to register (by providing the required information) by email or phone.
Users may be required to access third party services through our software for the purpose of completing or effecting a transaction (e.g. a payment gateway provider or delivery services provider) or for another permitted purpose. In this case, personal information (e.g. contact details, name) may be shared with the third party service provider, and the third party service provider may collect further personal information (e.g. financial information) to provide the required service(s) to the user. ECL Technology Group Pty Ltd is not responsible for meeting the privacy obligations of third party service providers in relation to information that they collect, and users should check third party terms of service relating to privacy.
What Do We Use Your Information For?
Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:
- To personalize your experience.
- To improve our website.
- To improve customer service requests and support needs.
- To process transactions.
- To provide the services you engage us for.
- To send periodic emails. The email address you provide for order processing, will only be used to send you information and updates pertaining to your project.
Your information, whether public or private, will not be sold, exchanged, transferred, or given to any other company for any reason whatsoever, without your consent, other than for the express purpose of delivering the purchased product or service requested.
Where relevant for compliance with laws and regulations, we may also collect, hold and use personal information, such as occupation or profession, or other information as required for delivery of our products and services.
Security and Storage
ECL Technology Group Pty Ltd stores personal information in electronic form. All reasonable steps are taken to protect personal and other confidential information from misuse, loss or unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Some of the ways this is done include:
- using third party technology infrastructure providers that provide a secure environment and access control for confidential information, and that ECL Technology Group Pty Ltd reasonably believes is subject to a law, or binding scheme, that has the effect of protecting the information in a way that, overall, is at least substantially similar to the way in which the Australian Privacy Principles protect information;
- only allowing access to personal information where the individual seeking access has satisfied our identification requirements;
- maintaining a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to protect against unauthorised access to our systems and limiting access to those systems to authorised personnel. For example, we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols and encryption technologies.
We will not use or disclose personal information without consent, unless required to do so by law or for the purposes of legal advice, audit, or the administration and management of our business.
Trans-border Data Flows
We operate and communicate with organisations throughout Australia and overseas.
Therefore, some personal or confidential information may be disclosed or stored outside Australia. ECL Technology Group Pty Ltd will only disclose information to an organisation in a country which has a substantially similar privacy regime and that complies with applicable privacy laws.
If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA) and we transfer your personal information to countries outside of the EEA, we will take appropriate steps to ensure your personal information is afforded the same level of protection as described in this Privacy Policy.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION (EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA)
If you are from the EEA, our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Policy will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. We collect and use your information for a variety of business purposes that are in our legitimate interests, in order to enter into or perform a contract with you, with your consent, or to comply with our legal obligations.
If you wish to learn more about specific legal grounds we rely on to process your information for any particular purpose (including any legitimate interests we have to process this information), please contact us via email. For example, we rely on our legitimate interests to process information for direct marketing purposes and for fraud prevention and detection, provided these interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms.
Therefore some personal or confidential information may be disclosed or stored outside Australia. ECL Technology Group Pty Ltd will only disclose information to an organisation in a country which has a substantially similar privacy regime and that complies with applicable privacy laws.
