Information we hold

We generally hold personal information about our customers.  This information can include their contact details, buying habits and transactional details.

Why we need personal information

You are always allowed to deal with us on an anonymous basis.  However, as a radio station, we sometimes find it necessary to collect certain information from you. 

There are a number of ways in which we may collect information from you.  These include:

  • application forms;
  • email;
  • our website (including cookies); 
  • over the phone.

There may also be certain laws which may require us to collect personal information from you.  Where these apply, we will provide you with information about our legal requirements when we collect your personal information.

Additionally, when you make a purchase or attempt to make a purchase through the Shop, we collect certain information from you, including your name, billing address, shipping address, payment information (including credit card numbers), email address, and phone number. We refer to this information as “Order Information.”

We use the Order Information that we collect generally to fulfil any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations). 

Additionally, we use this Order Information to:

  • Communicate with you
  • Screen our orders for potential risk or fraud

We share your Personal Information with third parties to help us use your Personal Information, as described above. For example, we use Shopify to power our online store – you can read more about how Shopify uses your personal information here.

You can also opt-out of Google Analytics here.

What about ‘sensitive information'?

(a) you consent to provide that information to us;

(b) the collection of that information is specifically authorised by law;

(c) the collection is necessary to lessen a serious or imminent threat to your health or safety or the health or safety of another person; or

(d) the collection of the information is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

What happens if you do not provide personal information

If you do not provide us with accurate or complete information when we request it, we may not be able to provide you with a proper level of service.

How we maintain and manage your personal information

Who may view your personal information

We will only grant access to others to view your personal information where we believe it is necessary, and in your best interests, for those people to view your personal information. 

In general, only our employees or subcontractors may view your personal information.

We will only disclose personal information to a third party if:

(a) that disclosure is required to give effect to the purposes for which we collected the information;

(b)  we have your consent to that disclosure;

(c)  we believe that the disclosure may lessen a risk of harm to your health or safety, or to the health or safety of another person;

(d)  we are required by law to disclose the information;

(e) the disclosure is required for the enforcement of criminal law or a law imposing a pecuniary penalty or for the protection of public revenue; or

(f)  the third party is our agent or contractor and is required by us to keep that personal information confidential and will only use that information for the purposes for which it is disclosed.

International transfers

If we transfer your personal information overseas, we will first obtain your written consent before doing so. If it is not practical to obtain your consent, then the information may still be transferred if, as part of the agreement for the transfer of that information, the other organisation agrees to comply with our privacy obligations to you.

Where is your personal information stored?

We may store your personal information in both hard-copies and on computers.

Hard copy information is kept under lock and key.  Information stored on computers is generally password protected.

Updating your personal information

If at any time you believe that any of your personal information that we store is not accurate or is out of date, please let us know by contacting our Privacy Officer.

Our websites and email

Any personal information collected from you via our websites and via email is governed by this policy.

We may collect information about you from our websites via any forms you fill in, any cookies we install on your computer or any transactions you undertake with us.  We may also track your viewing habits to allow us to tailor your web surfing experience.

Where we communicate by email with you, we may ask you for personal information which is related to the purpose of that communication.

Direct marketing

If we collect personal information for direct marketing purposes (either to market ours or someone else's products), then we will try to first obtain your consent before we market directly to you.

If we cannot practically obtain your consent, then we may still directly market to you, provided that:

(a) we advise you that you can be taken off the mailing list at any time;

(b) you have not previously asked to be taken off the mailing list; and

(c) we display our contact details clearly in each direct marketing publication.

If you wish to be taken off any mailing list, please contact our Privacy Officer. 

How you may access your personal information

You may access your personal information by contacting our Privacy Officer.

We will use our best efforts to take less than 30 days to respond to your request.

We may also charge you a reasonable fee for providing access to your personal information. 

When we may withhold access to your personal information

We may withhold access to your personal information in a number of circumstances.  These include where:

(a) providing access would pose a serious and imminent threat to the life or health of a person;

(b)  providing access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others;

(c)  the information is subject to confidentiality where the person who provided the information to us did so expressly on the condition that it remains confidential;

(d)  the request is vexatious or frivolous;

(e) the information relates to legal proceedings between us and the information would not be required to be discovered to a court ;

(f) we are in commercial negotiations with you and the information would reveal our intentions;

(g) providing access would be unlawful or we are required by law to withhold access; or

(h) providing access could prejudice the investigation or detection by our organisation or by a government body of unlawful activity or some serious or improper misconduct.

Where we do withhold your personal information, we may instead choose to give you a summary of that information. 

Written reasons

If we do withhold your personal information, we will provide you with written reasons.

Third party intermediary

If we withhold access to your personal information, we will consider whether the provision of access to an independent third party will meet both of our needs.

We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time in our sole discretion.  We will make all modifications available on our website. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to update, change or replace any part of the Privacy Policy by posting updates and changes to our website.
