Policy.
Your privacy is important to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, hold, and protect your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Hoss Investments Pty Ltd ACN 610 974 500 (‘Horizon Dental’) and its related entities (referred to in this
document as ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) recognises that your privacy is very important and we are committed to
protecting the personal information we collect from you. The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (‘Privacy Act’), and the
Australian Privacy Principles (‘APP’) govern the way in which we must manage your personal information and
this policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage personal information about you.
We may collect and hold personal information about you, that is, information that can identify you, and is
relevant to providing you with the services you are seeking. This can include your name, date of birth, contact
details (including address, email address, phone number), financial information (such as credit card or bank
account numbers) and information about how you use our products and services.
This is not an exhaustive list. We may need to collect additional information about you from time to time to
provide products or services to you.
You might also need to provide us with personal information about other individuals (e.g. your authorised
representatives). If so, we rely on you to inform those individuals that you are providing their personal
information to us and to advise them about this policy.
The type of personal information that we collect and hold about you depends on your interaction with us.
Generally, we will collect, use and hold your personal information for the purposes of:
- providing products or services to you or someone else you know;
- issuing tax invoices for the products or services we may provide to you from time to time;
- providing you with information about other services that we, our related entities and other organisations that we have affiliations with, offer that may be of interest to you;
- facilitating our internal business operations, including the fulfilment of any legal requirements; and
- analysing our services and customer needs with a view to developing new or improved services.
Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through the use of any of our standard
forms such as when you enter into an agreement with us, contact us with a query or request or submit your
details through our website, social media or by email.
We may also collect information other than directly from you, for example:
- from third parties such as our related entities, business partners, or your representatives;
- from publicly available sources of information;
- from our records of how you use our services; and
- from the third parties we list in the Use and Disclosure section of this policy.
If you choose not to provide certain information about you, we may not be able to provide you with the
products or services you require, or the level of service on which we pride ourselves.
If the personal information you provide to us is incomplete or inaccurate, we may be unable to provide you, or
someone else you know, with the products or services you, or they, are seeking.
If you access our website or social media, we may collect additional personal information about you in the
form of your IP address and domain name.
Our website uses cookies. The main purpose of cookies is to identify users and to prepare customised web
pages for them. Cookies do not identify you personally, but they may link back to a database record about
you. We use cookies to monitor usage of our website and to create a personal record of when you visit our
website and what pages you view so that we may serve you more effectively.
Our website and social media may contain links to other websites or social media. We are not responsible for
the privacy practices of linked websites or social media and linked websites and social media are not subject
to our privacy policies and procedures.
Generally, we only use or disclose personal information about you for the purposes for which it was collected
(as set out above) or for purposes which are directly related to one or more of our functions and activities. We
may disclose personal information about you to:
- third party product or service providers, who assist us in operating our business (including to assist us in providing you with the products and/or services that you have requested or have expressed an interest), and these service providers may not be required to comply with our privacy policy; and
- our related entities and other organisations with whom we have affiliations so that those organisations may provide you with information about services and various promotions.
We are not likely to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients.
We may also use your information so that we, our related entities, dealers and other business partners can
promote and market products, services and special offers that we think will be of interest to you (which may
include products, services and offers provided by a third party). This marketing may be carried out in a variety
of ways (including by email, SMS/MMS, or social media) and may continue after you cease acquiring any
products or services from us until you opt-out by calling
The security of your personal information is of paramount importance to us. We store your personal
information in different ways, including in paper and in electronic form. Any bank or credit card details you
provide and that we store will be encrypted, and any tax invoices we issue to you will not display your full
bank or credit card details, for your added protection.
We take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is stored safely to protect it from
misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
If we no longer need your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected or for purposes
which are directly related to one or more of our functions and activities, we will take reasonable steps to
securely destroy it or permanently remove all identifying features from that information. This obligation is
subject to any legal requirement or Court order to retain the information.
You may access the personal information we hold about you, upon making a written request. We take all
reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold, use and disclose is accurate, complete and
up to date.
If, upon receiving access to your personal information or at any other time, you believe the personal
information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please notify us immediately. We will
take reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date.
If you wish to access any of your personal information that we hold or would like to correct any errors in that
information, please contact us using the contact details set out in the Contact section of this policy, so that we
can consider and respond to your request. We may apply an administrative charge for providing access to
your personal information in response to a request.
