How We Collect and Hold Information

At Laucke Mills, how we collect personal information depends on the relationship we have with you. We will generally only collect your information directly from you; however, where appropriate we may collect information indirectly. Other ways in which we collect information may include the following:
  • Personal information provided to us by third parties (e.g., a credit history report provided by a credit reporting body)
  • Where we have a website, personal information collected when you visit public pages on our website, e.g., by cookies embedded in our site or by collection of other data about when you may visit our website and what you might view, where that data identifies you.
 
Laucke Mills takes care to only collect necessary information. The only reasons that we collect your personal information are for the purposes of:
  • contacting and communicating with you.
  • noting your preferences with respect to the supply of our products.
  • conducting the effective management of our business.
  • internal record keeping and analysis.
  • seeking consent in relation to publications of reviews and testimonials.
  • for market research, business development and marketing, including direct marketing.
  • inviting you to seminars and functions which we think may be of interest to you.

  • any other purpose required or permitted by law.
If you do not wish for your information to be used in the above ways, please contact us. Contact details are located at the bottom of this Policy.
 
Laucke Mills will not collect any personal information except where such information has knowingly been provided to us or where the collection of the information is directly relevant to our business. If we come into possession of any unsolicited personal information, we will destroy it or de-identify where appropriate, and if reasonable in the circumstances, notify you as soon as practicable.
 
While we endeavour to ensure that personal information collected from you is up to date and complete, we will assume any personal information provided by you is free from errors and omissions, is not misleading or deceptive and complies with all relevant laws.

You should provide us with details of any changes to your personal information as soon as reasonably practicable following such change.
 
If you wish for your personal or sensitive information to be changed or corrected, please contact us using the contact information provided at the bottom of this Policy. The Act allows us to refuse to correct your data in some circumstances; we will advise you if we intend to refuse a request for correction.

  • we consider it necessary to provide the information to our professional advisers such as our lawyers, or provide information to our insurers, or to provide information about a contract or debt default to a credit reporting body.
  • we are required or permitted by law to provide information to a third party.
 
Where personal information is used by us, that information will only be accessed by persons where access is required to enable them to carry out their job function.
