Relevant privacy principals

1. Collection of personal and sensitive information: Ensure that personal information is collected only if it is necessary for the functions and/or activities of the company and that it is obtained directly from the individual concerned. We can only collect sensitive information if a customer consents and it is necessary for the functions and/or activities of the company.
2. Notification of collection – what we need to inform an individual when we collect their personal information: Before we collect personal information from a customer for the first time we need to let them know:

• Why we are collecting personal information: to provide pricing on our services
• How we will treat their personal information: in accordance with our privacy policy which is available on our website.

3. Use of personal information: We can only use a user’s personal information for the primary purpose it was collected unless there is a reasonable expectation for that information to be used for another purpose. For example, if personal information is collected to provide a quote, it would be reasonable to expect that it would also be used in providing the service that was quoted.
4. Disclosure of personal information: We never disclose a user’s personal information unless we have the consent of the users. In establishing the identity of a customer or confirming their personal information, we need to ask them to provide the details – we do not give out their information for them to confirm.
5. Access to personal information: A user can request access to the personal information we hold about them. Generally we are required to provide such information to them. The need to apply in writing or email: 
6. Security of Customers’ personal information: An organisation must take reasonable steps to protect personal information it holds from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure:

• Computers should be locked when left inactive or unattended
