Equipment Leasing Holdco Pty Ltd (ACN 143 751 188) (“ATF”) and its subsidiaries are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles, which are set out in schedule 1 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). The Australian Privacy Principles can be found at Australian privacy principles.

2. Scope

This Policy applies to personal information collected by ATF and its subsidiaries.

This Policy will commence operation from the “Date Issued” date in the panel below. It replaces all previous ATF privacy policies

3. Collection

ATF will only collect personal information (other than sensitive information) by lawful and fair means (including via ATF's app), and if the information is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, one or more of ATF’s functions or activities including the supply of goods or services by ATF. ATF will take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is aware that information is being collected and, should they require access to information collected, shall provide access subject to reasonable request.

We usually collect personal information such as your name, address, telephone number and, in some cases, financial details. We may collect personal information from publicly available sources.

As a general rule we do not usually collect sensitive information. However, if we do, it will be where the information is reasonably necessary for the purposes of providing our services and we will seek your consent to collect it.

We collect personal information when we provide our services to you. Generally we will tell you why we are collecting information when we collect it and how we plan to use it and hold it or these things will be obvious when we collect the information.

Sometimes we collect personal information from a third party if you have consented or would reasonably expect us to collect the information in this way, for example from publicly available sources such as websites or telephone directories. If we receive personal information which we did not solicit we will within a reasonable period after receiving the information, determine whether or not we could have collected the information underAustralian Privacy Principle 3 if we had solicited the information. If it should not have been solicited and is not contained in a Commonwealth record, we may destroy the information or ensure that the information is deidentified.

We intend to rely upon the employer exemption relating to employee records to the extent that it applies.

You are not required to provide us with any personal information when visiting our website. However, sometimes we need to collect your information from our website to provide services that you request.
