About this Policy
This Privacy Policy is effective as of June 2024.
Morris Group takes your privacy seriously and is committed to protecting the privacy of any personal information held about individuals in accordance with applicable laws.
This policy applies to all of Morris Group’s Australian companies unless that company has adopted a separate policy (collectively Morris Group, we, us or our), and describes the way that we collect, hold and disclose your personal information.
The Morris Group consists of:
and includes all of their related bodies corporate.
If you have any enquiries about this policy, please contact us using the details set out in Section 16 below. This policy does not apply to the personal information of our Australian companies’ employees in their capacity as such.
Whenever we refer to “personal information” in this policy, we are referring to information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. It includes things like a person’s name, address, date of birth and bank account details. It also includes information or opinions that are inferred about people such as tastes and preferences inferred from online purchases and browsing behaviour.
Morris Group collects and holds your personal information to allow it to perform its business functions. We will only collect personal information if it is for a lawful purpose that is directly related to one of our functions and it is reasonably necessary for us to have the information. The types of personal information we collect will depend on the nature of your dealings with us and may include:
We do not collect any sensitive information about you (such as health or biometric information) unless you have provided your consent or certain limited permitted situations exist.
If you can’t, or won’t, provide us with the personal information we reasonably require, we may be unable to provide you with the information, goods or services you have requested.
We try to collect personal information directly from you. That collection generally occurs when you:
From time to time, we may also collect personal information about you from third parties to help us improve our services and provide personalised services to you. For example, we may collect personal information from:
We primarily use your personal information to supply, sell, market and promote goods or services that you have requested from us (or that we think may be of interest to you), to help us improve our goods and services, and to personalise your experiences with us. This includes, for example:
We may also use your personal information for other purposes that are related to those listed above and are within your reasonable expectation or are otherwise required or permitted by law. These purposes will be made clear to you at the time we collect your personal information.
We may use your personal information to send you direct marketing (including via email, SMS, phone, social media, online or mail) if you agree to let us do so and you have not opted out. All commercial electronic correspondence sent to you by us will give you the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving any further direct marketing correspondence. For online advertising, you can opt-out by adjusting your device settings.
From time to time we may need to share your personal information with our digital advertising agencies and other third parties to enable us to provide online marketing materials to you.
If we use your personal information to send you any direct marketing communications, you have the right to request that we provide you with the source of that personal information.
There is no fee for requesting this information. Unless it is impracticable or unreasonable to do so, we will provide you with the source of the personal information.
In conducting our business, we may disclose your personal information to:
If we provide your personal information to an overseas entity, we take reasonable steps to require that entity to protect your personal information in accordance with Australian privacy laws and to only use your personal information for the purpose for which it is shared. Please note that Australian law may not apply to some of these entities.
We may also disclose your personal information to other third parties where it is required or permitted under any applicable law.
We use cookies, tags, beacons and similar tracking technologies (collectively cookies) to collect electronic information about you when you interact with us online.
A cookie is a small file downloaded onto your device’s browser. Some cookies are deleted once you close your browser (session cookies) but other cookies are retained even after you close your browser so you can be recognised when you return to a website (permanent cookies).
The main reasons we use cookies, and allow certain third parties to place cookies on our websites, are to:
The main types of cookies that we use are explained below:
We may aggregate electronic information obtained via cookies with personal information collected via other sources, including offline sources, for the purpose of improving our records and delivering targeted direct marketing to you.
We may also collect electronic information from cookies set by third parties such as social media platforms and Google. That information is collected directly from those third party providers and is subject to their privacy policies and notices.
If you do not want websites to store cookies on your device, most browsers allow you to disable cookies via the privacy settings menu within your browser.
In some cases, you can also change website settings to disable cookies and opt-out of targeted advertising. For example, you can opt-out of targeted advertising on Facebook, Google, X (formerly Twitter) or Instagram by looking under its account settings.
We take reasonable steps to ensure personal information we hold about you is protected from risks such as misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, use, destruction, modification or disclosure.
Some of the security measures we routinely use include:
No data transmission over the internet is totally secure. As a result, any personal information you send to us over the Internet (including via email) is sent at your own risk.
You have a right to ask for access to the personal information that we hold about you, and ask that we correct that personal information.
Before we provide you with access to your personal information, we may require verification of or proof of your identity. In limited circumstances, we may deny a request for access (for example where giving access would be unlawful). If that happens, we will always provide you with written reasons for that denial.
There is no fee for requesting access, however we may charge a reasonable fee for the preparation and provision of that information to you.
For all requests, please contact our Privacy Officer using the details set out in section 15 below.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect our current practice and ensure compliance with applicable laws. If we change this Privacy Policy, we will post a copy of the updated policy on this website with a revised effective date at the top of this policy.
If you have any questions about our privacy policy, our privacy practices or would like to lodge a complaint about our privacy practices, please contact our Privacy Officer using the details set out in section 15 below.
We acknowledge and take very seriously every privacy query and complaint that we receive. We will endeavour to respond to you within 30 days.
If you’re not satisfied with how we have handled your matter, you may wish to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner via the contact details listed at http://www.oaic.gov.au/about-us/contact-us-page.
