Personal information is information that could identify you. Examples of personal information include your name, address, telephone number, fax number and email address.

What happens if you don’t provide personal information?
Generally, you have no obligation to provide any personal information requested by us. However, if you choose to withhold requested personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the products and services that depend on the collection of that information. As an example, if you did not provide the personal information requested on your product(s) purchase, we would be unable to notify you directly of a product corrective action affecting your product(s).
To whom do we disclose personal information?
We engage third party service providers to perform functions for ACCESS SOS PTY LTD. Such functions include mailing, delivery of purchases and credit card payment authorization
For our service providers to perform those functions, it is sometimes necessary for us to disclose your personal information to those suppliers. Where disclosures take place, we work with these third parties to ensure that all personal information we provide to them is kept secure, is only used to perform the task for which we have engaged them and is handled by them in accordance with the National Privacy Principles.
How do we protect personal information?
At all times, we take great care to ensure your personal information is protected from unauthorized access, use, disclosure or alteration.
