Privacy Policy
Introduction
This is the privacy notice of Cumberland Kent Pty Ltd. In this document, ““we”, “our”, or “us” refers to Cumberland Kent Pty Ltd registered in Australia with ACN 054 417 195
This is a notice to inform you of our policy about all information that we record about you. It covers both information that could and could not identify you and information.
We are extremely concerned to protect your privacy and confidentiality. We understand that all users of our web site are quite rightly concerned to know that their data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them, and will not accidentally fall into the hands of a third party. Our policy is both specific and strict. It complies with the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”) and the requirements of the Australian Privacy Principles (Apps) pursuant to the Privacy Act. . If you think our policy falls short of your expectations or that we are failing to abide by our policy do please tell us.
We regret that if there are one or more points below with which you are not happy, your only recourse is to leave our web site immediately.
Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any personally identifiable information collected at this site.
Here is a list of the information we collect from you, either through our web site or because you give it to us in some other way, and why it is necessary to collect it:
1. Business and Personal Information
This includes basic identification and contact information, such as your name and contact details and also includes all information given to us in the course of your business and ours, such as information you give us in your capacity as our client or prospective client. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose.
This information is used:
In conducting our business;
to provide you with the services which you request;
for verifying your identity for security purposes;
completing a transaction to which the provision of that personal information relates
for marketing our services and products;
information which does not identify any individual may be used in a general way by us or third parties, to provide, for example, statistics relating to demographics or usage of a particular page or service.
We keep information, which forms part of our business record for a minimum of six years. That is because we may need it in some way to support a claim or defence in court. That is also the period within which our tax collecting authorities may demand to know
2. Your Domain Name and Email Address
This information is recognised by our servers and the pages that you visit are recorded. We shall not under any circumstances, divulge your e-mail address to any person who is not an employee or contractor of ours and who does not need to know, either generally or specifically. This information is used:
to correspond with you or deal with you as you expect;
in a collective way not referable to any particular individual, for the purpose of quality control and improvement of our site;
to send you news about the services for which you have expressed interest;
to tell you about other of our services or services of sister web sites.

We record your request and our reply in order to increase the efficiency of our business.
10. Complaints
When we receive a complaint, we record all the information you have given to us. We use that information to resolve your complaint. If your complaint reasonably requires us to contact some other person, we may decide to give to that other person some of the information contained in your complaint. We do this as infrequently as possible, but it is a matter for our sole discretion as to whether we do give information, and if we do, what that information is.
We may also compile statistics showing information obtained from this source to assess the level of service we provide, but not in a way that could identify you or any other person.

13. Disclosure to Government and Their Agencies
We are subject to the law like everyone else. We may be required to give information to legal authorities if they so request or if they have the proper authorisation such as a search warrant or court order.
14. Compliance with the Law
This confidentiality policy has been compiled so as to comply with the law of every Australian jurisdiction in which we aim to do business. If you think it fails to satisfy the law, we should like to hear from you, but ultimately it is your choice as to whether you wish to use our website.
15. Review or Update Personally Identifiable Information

17. Data May Be "Processed" Outside Australia
Our websites are hosted in Australia. We also use outsourced services in countries outside Australia from time to time in other aspects of our business. Accordingly data obtained within Australia may be “processed” outside Australia and data obtained in any other country may be processed within or outside that country.
18. Complaint Procedure
If you have a complaint about how we are collected or handled your personal information, please contact us. We will endeavour in the first instance to deal with your complaint and take action to resolve the matter.
If your complaint cannot be resolved at the first instance, we will ask you to lodge a formal complaint in writing, explaining the circumstances of the matter that you are complaining about, how you believe your privacy has been interfered with and how you believe your complaint should be resolved.
We will acknowledge receipt of your formal complaint and indicate the timeframe that you can expect a response. We will endeavour to resolve the complaint as quickly as possible, but if the matter is complex and our investigation may take longer, we will let you know when we expect to provide our response.
If you are unhappy with our response, you may refer your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
