Thinkroom Privacy Policy

This following document sets forth the Privacy Policy for the website of Thinkroom Australia Pty Limited, having ABN 24635528773 (“Thinkroom”), namely,  (“Website”).

Thinkroom is committed to providing you with the best possible customer service experience. Thinkroom is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals.

Collection of your personally identifiable information

We may collect various categories of personally identifiable information in the course of providing services to you, including your name, address, contact details, bank details, and records of interactions with Thinkroom or the Website. There are many aspects of the Website or our services which can be accessed without providing personally identifiable information, however, to get in touch with Thinkroom, you may be required to submit personally identifiable information.

How we use your personal information

Thinkroom may at times use and disclose personal information about an individual for the “primary purpose” of collection (i.e. the dominant or fundamental purpose for which that information is collected). As well as abovementioned purposes, that “primary purpose” includes facilitating our internal business processes, communicating with clients, prospective clients and other external parties, providing ongoing marketing information about our products and services, complying with our legal obligations and dealing with enquiries and complaints. In certain circumstances, the law may permit or require us to use or disclose personal
information for other purposes (for instance where a client would reasonably expect us to and the purpose is related to the purpose of collection).

Sharing of your personally identifiable information

We may occasionally hire other companies to provide services on our behalf, including but not limited to handling customer support enquiries, provide design services, processing transactions or customer shipping. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personally identifiable information they need to deliver the service. We may also provide a client’s or prospective client’s personal information to credit reporting bodies and other credit providers. Thinkroom takes reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personally
identifiable information.

We may also use or disclose your personal information and in doing so we are not required to seek your additional consent:

 when it is disclosed or used for a purpose related to the primary purposes of collection detailed above and you would reasonably expect your personal information to be used or disclosed for such a purpose;

 if we reasonably believe that the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious or imminent threat to an individual’s life, health or safety or to lessen or prevent a threat to public health or safety;

 if we have reason to suspect that unlawful activity has been, or is being, engaged in;
or
 if it is required or authorised by law.
