Personal information that is not sensitive

We will only hold your personal information for the purpose of carrying out our business of providing energy related products and services (Primary Purpose).

We will not use or disclose your personal information (not being sensitive information) for another purpose (Secondary Purpose) unless:

1. we first obtain your consent; or
2. you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose it for a Secondary Purpose thatis related to the Primary Purpose or - in the case of sensitive information – directly related to the Primary Purpose; or

4. a permitted general purpose exists; or
5. a permitted health situation exists; or
6. we reasonably believe it is reasonably necessary for one or more enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body. In this circumstance we will make a note of such disclosure.

Where we provide products or services to you on credit (where you pay for products or services after we start providing them to you), we are a credit provider for the purposes of the Privacy Act. When you apply for and open an account with us, we may collect credit related information about you, and hold that credit information electronically, both at our own premises and with the assistance of our service providers. This credit related information includes information we collect direct from you, and information we collect from other credit providers and/or credit reporting bodies. The credit reporting body we currently use to perform credit checks is Equifax, but this may vary from time to time.

The credit related information we collect and retain includes:

1. your personal details such as name, address, date of birth, contact details and any aliases;
2. your credit history;
3. details of any credit you have obtained or sought from other credit providers;
4. your credit rating or credit assessment score that a credit reporting body may provide us; and
5. any details of prior overdue payments, credit infringements, defaults, bankruptcies and judgments.

You understand that if we do not collect this credit-related information from you, then we will not be able to provide you with credit.

The purpose of us collecting this credit related information is to hold and use this information to:

1. evaluate your credit eligibility;
2. determine what level of credit, if any,we can provide to you (and continue to provide to you);
3. manage our relationship with you when supplying you with electricity;
4. collect payments you owe us;
5. respond to any access or correction requests that you make;
6. respond to any complaint that you make;
7. comply with law or an order of a court or tribunal.

We may also use this information, along with information disclosed to us by relevant credit reporting bodies to derive a credit assessment score for you. If we refuse your application for credit based on information provided to us by a credit reporting body, we will inform you of this and provide you with the name and contact details of that body.

We may disclose your credit-related information to:

1. credit reporting bodies (the credit reporting body we currently use is Equifax but this may vary from time to time). These credit reporting bodies may disclose this credit information to other credit providers while assessing your credit worthiness;
2. debt collectors – both in Australia and overseas (and other third parties providing credit related services to us);
3. to third parties to whom we may assign your debts – both in Australia and overseas;
4. to other energy providers that provide or are considering providing, credit to you; and
5. your guarantor (if any).

When permitted by law, we may report, to any credit reporting body, information relating to any outstanding payments (more than 60 days overdue) you have with us. If, after this report is made, any of the outstanding payments (along with any late payment fees, accrued interest, or other fees we are legally permitted to charge) are made or are otherwise discharged, we will notify the credit reporting body that your payments are no longer outstanding.

Your credit card information is transmitted using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts your information. We do not keep your credit card or bank account details. Your full credit card details will be encrypted and securely stored by our online payment provider.

For the purposes of this policy, “direct marketing” is the promotion of goods and services directly to you including through emails, phone calls and the post.

How we use your personal information for direct marketing is tightly controlled by the Act. We will follow those laws to ensure you only receive direct marketing in circumstances where you are expecting to. Under the Act we may use your personal information for the purposes of direct marketing if:

1. we collected the information directly from you; and
2. you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose your personal information for the purpose of direct marketing.

We will always provide a simple means for you to “opt-out” from receiving direct marketing, which typically involves an “opt-out” or “unsubscribe” link on emails, or through a pop-up on your screen when you provide personal information online.

If you do not want us (or third parties) to contact you about special offers or promotions of our products or services, you can select this option on your profile on our website or contact us on privacy@reampedenergy.com.au and we will add you to our “do not contact” list.

We will not use or disclose your personal information for the purposes of direct marketing material if you have previously told us not to.

If at any time in the future you do not want us (or one of our service providers) to send you direct marketing material or you wish to cancel a previous consent, please inform us by contacting us at privacy@reampedenergy.com.au. We will affect the change in a reasonable time and without charge.

1. from misuse, interference and loss; and
2. from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

To the extent permitted by law, we may keep records of your personal information after the cancellation of your account for general business purposes.
