We may collect additional information at other times, including but not limited to when you provide feedback, provide information about your personal or business affairs, change your content or email preference, respond to surveys and promotions, provide financial information, or communicate with our customer support.

We may also collect any other information you provide while interacting with us.

We may use your personal information to improve our products and services and better understand your needs.

We may contact you by various means, including, but not limited to, telephone, email, SMS or mail.

Disclosure of your personal information

We may disclose your personal information to any of our employees, officers, insurers, professional advisers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Policy. Personal information is only supplied to a third party when it is required to deliver our services.

We may occasionally need to disclose personal information to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, or warrant, during a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request.

We may also use your personal information to protect the copyright, trademarks, legal rights, property or safety of FARA, fara.au, fitoutandrefurb.com.au, its customers or third parties.

Information that we collect may, from time to time, be stored, processed in, or transferred between parties located in countries outside of Australia.

If our business changes control or there is a sale or transfer of business assets, we reserve the right to transfer, to the extent permissible at law, our user databases, together with any personal and non-personal information contained in those databases. This information may be disclosed to a potential purchaser under an agreement to maintain confidentiality. We would seek to only disclose information in good faith and where required by any of the above circumstances.

By providing us with personal information, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the types of disclosure covered by this Policy. Where we disclose your personal information to third parties, we will request that the third party follow this Policy regarding handling your personal information.

Security of your personal information

FARA is committed to ensuring that the information you provide to us is secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have established suitable physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure information and protect it from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, and disclosure.

You transmit and exchange information at your own risk. We can’t guarantee the security of any information you transmit or receive from us. Although we take measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we can’t assure you that the personal information we collect won’t be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

Access to your personal information

You may request details of personal information that we hold about you by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) provisions. If you’d like a copy of the information we hold about you or believe that the information is inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading, please email us at marketing@fara.au.

We reserve the right to refuse to provide you with information we hold about you in certain circumstances set out in the Privacy Act.
