1. Respecting your privacy

BAIE Wines is committed to compliance with privacy laws which apply to its businesses and which set out standards for the management of personal information.

This policy outlines our personal information management practices. Specifically:

  • The kinds of personal information we collect and hold;
  • how we collect and hold it;
  • the purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose it;
  • your right to access and seek correction of it; and
  • how you may complain about privacy matters.

2. What kinds of personal information do we collect and hold?

The personal information we collect and hold is what is reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities. When we collect and hold personal information, it is of the following kinds:

  • Your personal details such as your name, addresses and telephone numbers;
  • Your customer reference number or loyalty card number;
  • Whether you have taken up some of our other offerings, such as membership of our loyalty program, BAIE Insider;
  • Any rewards and redemption details applicable to your membership of our loyalty program BAIE Insider; and
  • What, how and when you buy from us or have expressed an interest in buying from us; and
  • Your stated or likely preferences, for example whether you may be interested in particular products or promotions.

3. How do we collect and hold personal information?

Collection of personal information: When we collect personal information about you, we do so by making a record of it. We do this when:

  • You register with us, for example to create an account, to become a member of BAIE Insider or our mail list or to send you information;
  • You communicate with us online;
  • You take part in our promotions, competitions, testimonials, surveys and focus groups;
  • You deal with us in other ways involving a need for personal information to be provided such as when you contact us via phone or bring a claim against us.

We may also collect personal information about you by accessing data from other sources and then analysing that data together with the information we already hold about you in order to learn more about your likely preferences and interests. When you visit our websites, social media pages or mobile applications or click on our advertisements on the online media of other companies, we may collect information about you using technology which is not apparent to you, for example “cookies”.

The personal information we collect and hold about you is from your direct dealings with us. Personal information we hold is generally stored in computer systems. These may be operated by us or by our service providers. In all cases, we have rigorous information security requirements aimed at eliminating risks of unauthorised access to, and loss, misuse or wrongful alteration of, personal information.

4. Why do we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information?

When we collect, hold and use your personal information, we do so primarily to sell and promote goods and services to you and to improve on the range of our offerings. For example:

  • To learn of your likely preferences so that we may promote goods and services to you in a way which may be of most interest to you. This may include the products and services of our suppliers and other trusted partners who offer products and services that may be of interest to you; and
  • To assist in investigating your complaints and enquiries.
  • We disclose personal information we collect for purposes which are incidental to the sale and promotion of our goods and services to you. For example, we may disclose your personal information within our group, to service providers who assist us in our day-to-day business operations and as part of buying or selling businesses. These are provided under strict confidentiality agreements and not for use outside our business.

We may collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for other purposes which are within reasonable expectations or where permitted by law. You may opt out of our direct marketing to you. Our direct marketing materials will tell you how to do this.

5. How can you enquire about, access and correct your personal information?

Access to personal information: We will provide you with access to any of your personal information we hold (except in limited circumstances recognised by law). If you wish to access your personal information or have an enquiry about privacy, please contact our Privacy Officer at: nadine@baiewines.com.au or by calling us on 0400 220 436.

Before we provide you with access to your personal information we may require some proof of identity. We may charge a reasonable fee for giving access to your personal information if your request requires substantial effort on our part.

Correction of personal information: If you need to correct your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer at one of the above contact points.

6. How can you complain about our management of personal information?

If you wish to complain about a breach of the privacy rules that bind us, you may contact our Privacy Officer at one of the above contact points. We may ask you to put your complaint in writing and to provide details about it. We may discuss your complaint with our personnel and our service providers and others as appropriate.

Our Privacy Officer will investigate the matter and attempt to resolve it in a timely way. Our Privacy Officer will inform you in writing about the outcome of the investigation. If our Privacy Officer does not resolve your complaint to your satisfaction and no other complaint resolution procedures are agreed or required by law, our Privacy Officer will inform you that your complaint may be referred to the Privacy Commissioner for further investigation and will provide you with the Commissioner’s contact details.

7. Updates

This privacy policy is current at the date below. We may change it periodically. If we propose to change this policy, we will display at least 2 weeks’ prior notice of the change on www.baiewines.com.au

8. Other privacy terms and limits of this policy

This is a policy. There may be additional privacy notices and terms relevant to you depending on the nature of your dealings with us and on our particular businesses. There are additional privacy terms in our loyalty program BAIE Insider, for example. We have separate charters concerning our employees – this policy does not apply to the personal information of our employees in their capacity as such. These are available to employees.

9. More information

More information about privacy law and privacy principles is available from the Privacy Commissioner. The Privacy Commissioner may be contacted at www.oaic.gov.au (email – enquiries@oaic.gov.au) (Australia).
