Packcorp collects personal information in a number of ways, such as when you enter your personal details on our website (e.g. during application for products and services), when you provide information by phone or in documents such as an order form.

Your personal information may be used to:
- Provide the services you require
- Administer and manage those services, including, billing and collecting debts
- Gain an understanding of your information in order for us to provide you with better, more personalised services that are tailored to your needs
- Research and develop our services
- Maintain and develop our business systems and infrastructure, including testing and upgrading of these systems
|

Your personal information is also collected to promote and market to you other services which we consider may be of interest to you. Before we do so, we will provide you with an opportunity to give us permission to send you marketing or promotional material. |

Packcorp provides a range of web-based services, either through Packcorp or through one of our related companies. Most of these services are provided on the packcorp.com web site, as well as other affiliated domains. |

The types of personal information we collect from you will depend on how you use our web sites. Such information may include your name, date of birth, gender, current and previous addresses, telephone/mobile phone number, email address, or credit card details, occupation, driver's licence number and your username or password. |

If you choose not to provide personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the services you require, or the level of service on which we pride ourselves. |
|
|
|
Our websites record other information as well. This information is used to improve the structure and performance of those sites to provide users with an improved service. Whenever a page is requested from our web server, we record the time, date and URL of the request, along with information on the browser software that is being used. |

Transmissions sent to or from our websites are routinely monitored for quality control and systems administration. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, we cannot guarantee the security of any information you transmit to us or receive from our online products or services. These activities are conducted at your own risk. Once we receive your transmission, we make our best effort to ensure its security. |
|
|
|
Credit card information is among the most important data we collect. Packcorp operates secure servers to minimise the risk of unauthorised use of such information. Credit card information that is transmitted via our secure servers is encrypted in accordance with the highest standards over the EFTPOS network. |
