Privacy Policy

FilePro Pty Ltd (ACN 097 187 561) recognises the importance of protecting personal information and is committed to respecting your privacy rights. This Privacy Policy tells you how we collect information from you and what we do with it.

 

We are compliant with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Act) in relation to the handling of personal information. A full version of the Australian Privacy Principles, contained in Schedule 1 of the Act, can be found at the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner website – http://www.oaic.gov.au/.

Definitions

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, all references to “FilePro”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this statement are references to FilePro Pty Ltd (ACN 097 187 561).

The terms “customer” or “you” in this statement includes all visitors to our website, subscribers, purchasers and users of our services and products.

The term “services” refers to the services offered by FilePro.

The term “our website” refers to our website at http://filepro.com.au.

Collection and Use of Information

FilePro only collects personal information that is necessary or directly related to our business functions or activities. Personal information will always be obtained lawfully and fairly, and will be collected directly from you whenever it is reasonable and practicable to do so. FilePro will also never collect sensitive information such as information relating to racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or associations, membership of professional or trade associations or unions, religious or philosophical beliefs, criminal records, health or sexual orientation without your consent, unless we are required to do so under Australian law or otherwise.

We collect information from you when you submit an enquiry (including in person, by telephone or through our website), when you purchase our products, and when you register for access to our resources or have other dealings with us.

Access to the services requires a username and a password to log in. You should keep your username and password safe and never disclose it to a third party. We further recommend that you do not use public access PC’s/Tablets when accessing your secure information.

The kinds of personal information FilePro gathers may include:

  • your name and address (including mail, email and telephone details);
  • date of birth;
  • details relating to your employment which are relevant to us;
  • payment information, such as credit card or bank details;
  • transaction details relating to your use of our products, services or benefit; and
  • any other data that is included in data which you submit to us.

If FilePro receives personal information from you that we did not ask for, and that personal information is sensitive information or is not reasonably necessary for our functions or activities, we will destroy or de-identify the information.

It is unlikely that FilePro will use the services of an overseas data centre, however if we do store your information in an overseas data centre it will be done in compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and we will inform you prior to any storage of data overseas.

We may disclose your information to third parties outside of FilePro if you give us express permission to do so, or if we are required to do so by law.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties who directly work with us in our business to provide, promote or improve the products or services you have requested or are interested in. Employees of FilePro have access to personally identifiable information. All employees are bound to uphold this policy and observe your right to privacy and confidentiality.

You do not have to disclose your personal information to us, however if it is not disclosed, further assistance or access to our services may not be possible. You may request that we do not transfer any of your information outside of Australia, or revoke our permission to do so, but in such case we may not be able to provide the services or products you have requested from us.

FilePro will only use your personal information for the purposes of:

  • invoicing and collections of monies. This will include sending you emails, invoices, and notices of delinquency;
  • sending you system alert messages to let you know about changes to our services including planned outages, availability of new functionality, software updates, breaches of our Acceptable Use Policy, changes to our Privacy Policy and possibly other documents and agreements;
  • providing customer service and to obtain feedback;
  • improving the services we offer. We may occasionally conduct online surveys that may ask you for demographic information (your location, your position, product usage, etc). We will only use the information collected if you have granted us permission to do so, and only for the purposes of conducting that survey. You are free to revoke permission at any time by notifying us in writing;
  • meeting legal requirements such as complying with court orders and valid subpoenas;
  • prosecuting and defending a court, arbitration or similar proceeding;
  • sending you promotional material that you “opt-in” to receive.

We store all emails and endeavour to keep records of all communications so we have a history of our interactions with you that may subsequently be used for our support services.

Opt-out Notifications

You may opt-out of receiving email communications from FilePro at any time. You need to email us to have us exclude your email from our email distribution list. We endeavour to process opt-out notifications immediately, but please allow up to five business days for the removal to be completed.

The use of cookies and other tracking technologies allows us to improve our website and your browsing experience. We may also evaluate information that does not contain personal information for trend analysis.

Data Accuracy and Security

Every effort will be made to ensure the security of your personal information to protect it from misuse, interference, loss or unauthorised access, and to ensure that your personal information is complete and accurate. If your data changes, then you are responsible for notifying us of those changes so that we can keep your details up-to-date and accurate. When no longer needed, reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that your information is destroyed and/or de-identified. Unless an exemption under the Privacy Act applies, we will, at your written request, provide you with a copy of any personal information which we hold about you.

Destruction of records

Notifiable Data Breach

If FilePro identifies reasonable grounds to believe that unauthorised access or disclosure of your personal information has occurred, or that your personal information has been lost and is at risk of being subject to unauthorised access or disclosure, then FilePro will notify you in writing and provide you with a copy of the written statement which FilePro provides to the Information Commissioner. The following information will be included in the written statement:

  • a description of the possible data breach that may have occurred;
  • what kind of personal information has potentially been affected;
  • recommended steps you should take in order to protect yourself; and
  • if applicable, the details of the source of the data breach if FilePro has reasonable grounds to believe the data breach was constituted by a third party.

Should FilePro be unable to contact you, then we will publish the above information on our website.
