Sanyo Oceania Pty Ltd Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the services offered by Sanyo Oceania Pty Ltd (ABN 38 004 981 873) ("Sanyo").

1. Personal information is important.

Sanyo is committed to safeguarding personal privacy. It recognises that individuals have a right to control how their personal information is collected and used. Providing personal information is an act of trust and it is taken seriously. Unless given consent to do otherwise, Sanyo will only collect and use personal information as set out below. These principles meet and exceed the requirements of the Australian privacy legislation.

2. Collecting personal information.

Sanyo will not collect or monitor any personal information about an individual without their consent. The only personal information collected is what has been provided voluntarily. When a product is purchased or through marketing activities (online, in a store, over the telephone etc.), personal information may be requested (such as name and address) in order to service product, provide upgrades or updated information, and advise of other Sanyo products, which may be of interest. No one is obligated to provide personal information. However, failure to do so may result in Sanyo being unable to sell you products and/or provide certain services including after sales services. Sanyo's procedure for collecting personal information from minors (children under the age of 13) is to seek permission from a parent or guardian.

3. Use of tracking technologies

Sanyo uses tracking technologies such as cookies or web beacons to make use of the website and services as convenient as possible. Cookies are pieces of information that a web site transfers to a computer's hard disk for record keeping purposes. Web Beacon is a technical method that sends information related to the access to websites, when you browse websites, open or preview an HTML-formatted email. Most web browsers are set to accept tracking technologies such as cookies or web beacons. These tracking technologies do not themselves personally identify users, although they do identify a user's browser. These tracking technologies allow Sanyo to monitor and to record how many people are using the different parts of the site. It is possible to set the browser to refuse tracking technologies such as cookies or web beacons, however, this may limit the services provided by Sanyo's web site.

4. Using and disclosing your personal information

Personal Information will be used for the following primary purpose:
Eg:

- To fulfil obligations under any sale and purchase contract and/or any other contract between the individual and Sanyo.

- To render services related to Sanyo business such as warranty or after sales services.

- To provide information about products, service and/or special offers.

- To obtain opinions or comments about products and/or services.

- To record statistical data for marketing analysis.

For the purpose described above, information may be shared with Sanyo group companies either in Australia or overseas. Also, in order to operate the web site or deliver a service, personal information may also be shared with a service provider, a non-Sanyo group company.

Sanyo and Sanyo group companies recognise the trust with which individuals provide personal information, and such information will not be used or disclosed for any other purposes without consent, except in exceptional cases when disclosure may be required by law or is necessary to protect the rights or property of Sanyo, any Sanyo group company, or any member of the public, or to lessen a serious threat to a person's health or safety.

5. Contact by Sanyo

Sanyo may contact individuals using the information which was provided by them in order to: - Provide information that may be of interest about upgrades, new Sanyo products, special offers and other matters that may be of interest.

8. Storage and security of personal information

Sanyo will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any personal information recorded, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. The information is stored on secure servers if in digital format, or in locked areas if in hardcopy format: these repositories are protected in controlled facilities. In some cases these facilities may be overseas. Sanyo employees and data processors are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by Sanyo. However, security of communications over the Internet cannot be guaranteed, and therefore absolute assurance that information will be secure at all times cannot be given. Sanyo will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to personal information.

Parallel Import WARNING! Sanyo Oceania Pty Ltd is the authorised distributor of Sanyo branded, consumer electronic & Commercial and Industrial products in Australia and New Zealand. On occasions we have observed other suppliers offering imported Sanyo product from overseas and selling through retail outlets, other dealerships as well as online via the Internet, etc., to Australian consumers. Consumers should exercise care when acquiring these products. Also, from time to time we have become aware of a growing number of "copy" of "fake" Sanyo products being brought into Australia and being sold the same way as above. In particular, consumers should;

- Check that the product conforms with all Australian electrical safety standards;

- Check that the product conform to Australian RF emission & Safety standards;

- Check if the product incorporates a tuner ( TV's, VCR's, portable Audio, etc. ), and if so does it properly support the Australian frequencies & broadcast formats;

- Check that the seller will provide and honour the product warranty. Some products offered may not be carried by Sanyo Oceania and we may be unable to help if the seller fails to honour the warranty ;

- Check that the product is definitely a "genuine" Sanyo product and not a "copy" or "fake".
