PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction

RB refers to RB (Australia) Pty Limited ACN 003 274 655 (and its affiliates) ("RB", "we" or "us").

This Privacy Policy aims to help you understand how we may use personal information collected by RB in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s) set out in the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 and Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We are not responsible for any third party websites which may be accessible through links from RB’s website.

What personal information does RB collect?

RB collects personal information that is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, RB’s functions and activities which includes the marketing and sale of products to consumers. When you visit our website, enter a competition or other promotion carried out by us, RB may collect personal information such as your name, company and title or position, contact details such as telephone number and postal or email address, and any other information relating to you which you may provide.

You have the option of providing information to us anonymously, unless we consider that it would be impractical for us to deal with you anonymously. For example, you have the option of providing us with only a telephone number or email, or a telephone number and email accompanied by a pseudonym, or by only providing an email or telephone number. However a consequence of not providing your name or address may be, amongst other things, that certain services may not be available to you, or that you will not be able to be awarded a prize if you are a prize winner in a competition or promotion which is being run by us.

RB will not collect sensitive information (such as information about your race, religion or politics) unless we obtain your express consent to do so.

At or before the time we collect your personal information, or, if that is not practicable, as soon as practicable afterwards, we will notify you of certain matters about which we are required to notify you in accordance with the APP’s, such as our contact details, the purpose for which we are collecting your personal information and the consequences for you if you do not provide the personal information to us. 

How do we use this information?

Your personal information will be used by RB for the following purposes:

  • administering our relationship with you, providing products and services, and responding to enquiries;
  • administering competitions including identifying you to award a prize;
  • promoting and marketing RB’s products and services to you/the public;
  • meeting legal or other regulatory obligations imposed on us;
  • auditing usage of our websites;
  • help us better design our products, websites and services;
  • contacting you to ensure your personal information is up to date and accurate.

Occasionally, RB may gain assistance from others to provide our services or operate our business. These third parties access or otherwise process your personal information on a confidential basis for the purpose of providing these services. RB does not share your personal data with any third party that intends to use it for direct marketing purposes, unless you have provided specific consent in relation to this. 

How we use cookies and similar technologies

From time to time, RB may also use Google Analytics Advertising Features. 

We may use this technology to obtain an additional set of user data such as the gender, and/or age bracket of the website user which does not identify the user. We may place cookies on RB website, which then automatically place RB advertisements on other websites owned by third parties. We may also use this technology to obtain your personal data (for example, an email or home address) and tailor advertising to you. We will not merge any information that identifies you with anonymised information collected through any Google advertising product or feature unless we have obtained your prior consent.

You may opt-out of the Google Analytics Advertising Features by changing your settings in Ad Settings, Ad Settings for mobile apps, using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-on, or any other means available.
