Phenix Jewellery Pty Ltd (“Phenix”) is an organisation which collects and uses “personal information” but not “sensitive information” as defined under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 or the NZ Privacy Act 1993 (“the Act”).
The information is supplied to Phenix by insurance companies and or their agents or servants and collected for the purpose of Phenix’s business of insurance claim validation and replacement of jewellery (the primary purpose) or for a purpose which is related to the primary purpose and would in the reasonable opinion of the reasonable man be expected to collect or disclosed by Phenix (“the secondary purpose”).
The information is recorded as a requirement of Phenix’s contractual obligations with the insurance companies. Phenix confirms its actions will comply to the requirements under our Service Provider's Agreements. Insurance company customers are advised to refer to their respective Insurance Company's Privacy Policy for further information.
The purpose of this document is to outline how we comply with our privacy obligations as required under the Privacy Principles set out in the Act.
A copy of this privacy policy will be provided to anyone who asks for it in hard copy or soft copy form.
As an organisation, one of our principal concerns is the privacy of our client Insurance Companies, their policy holders and our staff. We aim to ensure that:
Phenix recognises that the personal information we collect is often of a confidential nature. We have adopted the highest privacy compliance standards to ensure such information is protected.
We may collect personal information regarding the policy holders of our client insurance companies and our staff and clients. Personal information collected may generally include:
We may collect personal information about you:
Where we collect personal information about you from another person or organisation, we will contact you with respect to that information. The information will usually be collected for the primary purpose, but if the information is collected for a secondary purpose we will take all reasonable steps to ensure you are aware of the reason why the information is being collected, how it will be used, and the names of any organisations or agencies to which we might disclose the information.
Personal information collected by us may be used or disclosed:
If you do not provide the personal information requested, we may not be able to provide you with our services needed to assist you in the assessment, validation and/or replacement of your jewellery. You may also not receive assistance and services from other organisations such as your insurer to which you may otherwise be entitled.
We do not use or disclose personal information about you for direct marketing purposes unless you have given us explicit authority to do so.
Phenix will notify Insurer's and any authorities required by law of any alleged privacy incident or complaints as per our Service Provider's Agreement.
If you provide personal information to us about someone else (such as a family member, close friend, personal carer or insurance service provider) you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that personal information to us.
You should take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual or organisation concerned is aware of the various matters detailed in this policy, including our identity, how to contact us, our purposes for collecting the information, our information disclosure practices, the individual's right to obtain access to the information and to have it corrected, and the consequences for the individual if the information is not provided.
We will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that information about you is protected from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, other than in accordance with this policy or the Act.
Your personal information may be stored either in hard copy or electronic form in our files and/or IT systems. We are required under our contractual arrangements with the Insurers to keep information for a minimum of 7 years from the date of last entry in our records.
We will, on request, provide you with access to the personal information we hold about you unless there is an exception which applies under the Act, such as where we have a legal duty not to disclose the information or where it may be harmful to you to do so.
Your request to obtain access to your information will be dealt with in a reasonable time. We may recover from you our reasonable costs of providing you with access. If we refuse to provide you with access to the information, we will provide you with reasons for the refusal and inform you of any exceptions relied on under the Act.
We take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is accurate, complete and up to date whenever we collect or use it. If you think any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please contact us and, if we agree, we will take reasonable steps to correct the information or, if necessary, discuss alternative options that may be available to you.
