Privacy Policy

Kangarama Pty Ltd and each of its related entities (together “Kangarama, we, us, our”) understand our customers’ concern about the privacy of their information when collected by us. 

Our Privacy Policy describes how we treat any personal information that we receive from our customers about themselves. It outlines the type of personal information we collect, how that information may be used, to whom we permit access and how we protect that personal information. Our Policy is part of our ongoing commitment to the protection of our customers’ privacy.

​

We are dedicated to protecting the confidentiality and security of the personal information which we collect about our customers and do so in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (including the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s)). This dedication extends to information or opinions that are collected about an individual in circumstances where their identity can reasonably be determined.

​

Any questions about the general privacy principles may be directed to the office of the Australian Information Commissioner whose website details are: www.oaic.gov.au.

​

1.OPEN AND TRANSPARENT POLICIES

We have and will continue to take all reasonable steps to implement and maintain practices, procedures and systems to ensure that we comply with all our obligations under the Privacy Act. Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions about this policy or any matters arising from it.

​

 2.ANONYMITY AND PSEUDONYMITY

You may not wish to identify yourself or you may wish to use a pseudonym and this is an option provided that this does not make it impractical for us to deal with you.

Please Note: It will generally be impractical for you to deal with us anonymously or under a pseudonym, should you wish to enter into a contract with us, including to purchase goods or services from us. The reason for this is because your identity is a relevant factor in creating a legally binding arrangement. It is material to our decision of whether or not to enter into agreements with you
