Privacy Policy

Respecting your Privacy

Hilts group Australia is committed to supporting the Australian Privacy Principles for all fair handling of Personal Information which set clear standards for the collection, use, disclosure, storage of and access to Personal Information collected during the course of business operations and compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Commonwealth) and its amendments (the Act), and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) set out in that Act. You can see the full text of the APPs online at the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s website at:

Personal Information means your name, mailing or residential address, telephone number, email address and other transaction and registration details including the company you work for and your role and financial information, including credit card information and information collected from credit reporting agencies.

Our respect for your rights to the privacy of your personal information is paramount.  We have policies and procedures in place to ensure that all personal information, no matter how or where it is obtained, is handled sensitively, securely and in accordance with the APPs.

This Privacy Policy sets out:

• What sort of personal information is collected and stored;
• How information is collected and used;
• What happens if you choose not to provide the required information; and
• How you can request access to the personal information we hold about you.

From time to time it may be necessary for Hlts group Australia to review and revise this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to change our policy at any time. Amendments or replacements of the Privacy Policy will be posted on our website.
