Why does ATA Development collect personal information? How does ATA Development use it?

ATA Development generally collects your personal information as part of providing you its products and services, informing you about them, complying with its contractual and other legal obligations, running promotions and other marketing activities or administering ATA Development’s relationship with you by responding to your enquiries and providing you with information about ATA Development events, products and services that may be of interest to you.

ATA Development needs your personal information to carry out these aims. ATA Development may use your personal information for those purposes, any other purpose listed on a collection statement at the point of collection or in any other way made clear at the time of collecting the personal information.

How does ATA Development collect personal information?

ATA Development may collect your information in person by sales and customer service staff, via its websites, social media pages, smart phone applications, phone calls and other installations on paper forms or electronic devices (Collection Channels).

ATA Development may also collect information from you if you provide products and/or services to ATA Development (Service Provider Channels), and this personal information is generally collected to assist obtaining the products and/or services from you.

What personal information does ATA Development collect?

ATA Development collects the types of personal information required to assist with providing ATA Development’s products and services and informing you about them.

This includes, through the Collection Channels, personal information such as your name, date of birth, phone number, email and home addresses and information to assist with ATA Development’s customer relationship management and market research functions, which may include information relating to your interests, experiences and preferences.

For more specific contracting or finance purposes, ATA Development may collect through Collection Channels loan application information, financial / banking information, guarantor / next of kin contact details.

Through Service Provider Channels, ATA Development may collect information about your employment or trading history and any business, company or related entity you are involved with.

How does ATA Development use your personal information? To whom will it be disclosed?

ATA Development may use your personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected, i.e. the purpose specified in a privacy collection statement through a particular Collection Channel or Service Provider Channel or the purpose that could be reasonably expected at the time the information was collected. ATA Development may also use your personal information for a secondary related purpose.

By submitting your personal information, you consent to ATA Development using it to:

a) provide you with products or services;

b) complete an activity that you have chosen to undertake;

c) administer ATA Development’s relationship with you;

d) monitor online activity on the ATA Development website(s) and/or application(s);

e) market, improve and add to ATA Development’s products and services (including online);

b) to third parties authorised by you to receive personal information held by us.

Can you remain anonymous or withhold personal information?

Yes. Where practical, you may choose not to identify yourself, deal with us on an anonymous basis or use a pseudonym.

In some instances, if you do not provide ATA Development with required personal information ATA Development may not be able to provide you with the requested product or service, allow you to participate in promotion activities or obtain the product or service you are offering.

As a result, ATA Development may need to cease existing sales processes, suspend, cancel or renew a contract (subject to its terms and conditions and relevant laws), withdraw an invitation or offer or decline your entry into a competition.

Will you receive direct marketing?

If you provide us with your personal information and you consent to receiving direct marketing communications from ATA Development, you authorise us to send you promotional messages and materials related to ATA Development’s products and services, unless you submit a later request not to receive direct marketing communications.

ATA Development’s direct marketing messages and materials will contain a prominent statement (including, for electronic messages, a functional unsubscribe facility) that you may request not to receive direct marketing communications.

If you do not wish to receive marketing or other communications from us, please submit a request not to receive direct marketing communications or use the unsubscribe facility provided in the most recent communication from us or contact us on the details provided.

Will your information be disclosed overseas?

ATA Development is unlikely to disclose your personal information to any person or entity outside Australia, but will inform you if and when this is necessary.

How can you access and correct your personal information?

You generally have the right to access your personal information free of charge, subject to some limitations contained in the Privacy Act 1988.

The APPs set out some circumstances in which ATA Development is not required to provide you with such access. If you ask for your personal information and any of these circumstances exist, you may be given access to the personal information in a way that is permitted under the Privacy Act 1988.

To protect personal information held by ATA Development, you may need to confirm your identity before access to your personal information is granted. It may take a little time to process your application for access and retrieve information from storage (if applicable).

ATA Development encourages you to update us so that ATA Development has accurate, current and complete information. You may correct any errors or request that ATA Development deletes all or some of your personal information. You may also submit a request not to have any further contact from us.

Does ATA Development use ‘cookies’?

Yes. When you use ATA Development’s website(s) and/or its app(s), ATA Development or its IT service providers may obtain information using technologies such as cookies, tags, web beacons, navigational data collection (log files, server logs, and clickstream data) and other storage technologies. For example, ATA Development or its IT service providers may collect information like the date, time and duration of visits and which webpages are accessed. This information is generally not linked to your identity, except where it is accessed via links in ATA Development e-message or where you have identified yourself. ATA Development may use knowledge of your user experience to better understand what products or services may be of interest to you.

ATA Development has implemented various analytic programs provided by third parties, including Facebook Custom Audience, Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics features based on Display Advertising (Google Analytics Remarketing, Display Network Impression Reporting and Demographics and Interest Reporting) to assess the performance of its website and mobile applications and to provide targeted ads.
