Privacy Policy

The Privacy Act

The National Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act of 1988 have been amended to include Private Sector organisations as of the 21st December 2001. Organisations must now comply with the Principals which provide guidelines for the collection, use, storage, security and disclosure of personal and sensitive information. Individuals have the right to know what information an organisation holds about them and to have the information that is incorrect amended.

Your Personal Information is Important to Us

EcoQuip is committed to protecting your privacy. We recognise that you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. EcoQuip is bound by the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988.

Collecting Information About You

Your personal information may be shared with any members of the EcoQuip management team. We assume we have your consent to use your personal information for our business purposes, in particular, for the purposes of sending information to you about our products and services, unless you advise us not to.
