Xpollinate supports:
• fair, transparent and open collection practice and management of personal information;

• limiting the use of personal information.
In this Privacy Policy, “personal information” has the meaning given to it in the Privacy Act; “our website” refers to all information, services, text, graphics and other data contained under the domain name 4x4rv.com.au; “smartphone application/s” refer to any smartphone application or mobile app owned and operated by us; “we”, “our” and “us” refers to Xpollinate and its related entities; and “you” or “your” refers to the person providing personal information and/or accessing our website.
Australian Privacy Principles (AAPs)
The APPs regulate the way that companies collect, use, secure and disclose personal information under the Privacy Act. Information containing anything that can be used to identify a person, inclusive of their name, address, telephone number, age, previous and current recreational vehicle ownership experience is deemed to be ‘personal information’ within the Privacy Act.
The APPs are designed specifically to ensure the responsible collection, storage and handling of personal information by companies.
They also provide people with the right to know what personal information is currently being held about them and a right to correct that information if it is inaccurate. Lastly, the APPs have been designed to ensure that companies do not disclose personal information, without a person’s prior consent.
Our Privacy Policy explains the application of the APPs to our insurance business. Consequently, the Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with the APPs. To the extent that there is any inconsistency between the APPs and our Privacy Policy, the APPs will prevail.
Questions about the APPs may be directed to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (“OAIC”), whose website can be accessed at: www.oaic.gov.au and telephone number is: 1300 363 992.

Identifiers
We will use our own identifiers and not those assigned by government unless we are required to do so, or the APPs or another law permit us to do so. You may read more about what identifiers are in the Privacy Act.
Anonymity and pseudonymity
You have the option of not identifying yourself or using a pseudonym, providing it is possible for us to deal with you on this basis.
It will be impractical for you to deal with us anonymously or under a pseudonym, should you wish to enter into a contract of sale and purchase a Recreational Vehicle via us. Your identity is a relevant factor in relation to our decision to insure you. It is material to our decision of whether or not to insure you and if so on what terms and premium. Also under the Insurance Contracts Act 1984 (Cth) you have a duty of disclosure and your identity is a material factor to disclose.

• any other purposes communicated to you at the time we collect your personal information and as permitted by law.
You may contact us at any time to “opt out” of receiving marketing communications or unsubscribe by following the links in any relevant electronic messages.
We may also be required or compelled at law to provide certain information, such as under a court order or subpoena, or a regulatory body request.
Disclosure to overseas recipients
If your personal information is collected or supplied to an organisation outside of Australia we will ensure it will be held, used or disclosed only in accordance with the Privacy Act.
Storage and security of personal information
We hold personal information electronically and sometimes in hard copy. The security of your personal information is very important and we’re committed to ensuring your personal information is managed correctly.
We take reasonable precautions to secure your transactions with our website and to ensure your personal information is protected against unlawful use, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. Unfortunately, we cannot provide a guarantee that information sent over the internet is 100% secure and sending and receiving information over the internet is at your own risk.
Access to personal information by employees within our organisation is limited to those who specifically need the personal information to conduct their business responsibilities.
Accessing your personal information
You can request access to the personal information we hold about you. So that we can provide access efficiently, we may ask you to provide personal information to confirm your identity. We may charge you a reasonable amount to cover the time spent retrieving, copying and sending out the information, but we will not charge you for making the request.
If we are unable to provide the information you have requested, we will provide reasons why.
Correcting your personal information
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect and store, use or disclose is accurate.
We do rely on you to advise us of any amendments required to your information to ensure it is accurate. If you would like to seek correction of your personal information please contact us. Our contact details are at the end of our Privacy Policy under “Contact Us”.
