Personal information collected by Mitronics is managed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

WHAT kinds of personal information do we collect?
- We collect personal information about our consumer customers, business contacts, newsletter subscribers, competition entrants, job applicants, and others. Depending on the circumstances, we may collect their names and contact details, and information about their:
◦ transactions with us,
◦ use of our products and services.
◦ subscription preferences.
◦ interests and skill levels.
◦ participation in events, promotions and competitions we organise.
◦ job applications; and

- We may collect financial, credit-related and identity verification information about people to provide them or related entities with commercial credit or finance (for more details see our Credit Reporting Policy), Lease or rent out equipment to people, operate product trade in programs, or to comply with Government legislation.
- We collect information about how people use our digital properties (including websites, social media sites, apps and electronic communications) and third party websites (digital interactions). Also, if people share an image with us, we may collect the metadata (such as Product details and geolocation data) attached to that image (image metadata). Usually the digital interactions data and image metadata we collect is anonymous. However, where a person signs up for one of our services (such as: subscriptions, competitions, etc.) we may link their digital interactions data and image metadata (past and future) to them. We may also attribute and add to such data-anonymised data from third party sources, such as consumer analytic data from data aggregators. In that case we will treat all such data as personal information.
Under no circumstance we provide private data to third parties without your implicit approval, unless they are for commercial credit or finance.
WHO do we usually disclose personal information?
We need to share some personal information we hold with other businesses to enable them to help us with services like data storage, business processes, deliveries and so on. Some of those businesses are based in different States within Australia. We only disclose what is necessary for them to do their job, and they are contractually obliged to keep your details safe.
HOW do we protect personal information?
We know how important it is to keep personal information secure, so we have a range of processes in place, including:
- using secure servers and other appropriate measures to protect electronic data;
- measures to control internal access, such as policies, physical access restrictions, network structures, passwords and access tracking.
- secure third party online payment methods.
- And when information isn’t needed anymore, we’ll make sure it gets destroyed, deleted or de-identified.
HOW can I get in touch about my personal information?
If we hold personal information about you, you have rights to access it and/or ask us to correct it if it’s wrong. All you need to do is contact our Privacy Officer.
Please also contact our Privacy Officer at Mitronics Head Office in Sydney West Ryde, if you have any concerns or complaints about how we’ve handled your personal information. He/she will investigate and respond in writing as quickly as possible. If you’re not satisfied after that, it’s your right under the privacy legislation to lodge a complaint.
This policy may be updated from time to time.
