Privacy Policy

3D Central Pty Ltd ACN  682 088 580   (“the Company, “we” or “us”)


Protecting personal information and privacy has always been important to us. 


Amendments to Australia’s Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”) introduced Australian Privacy Principles (APP) to replace the National Privacy Principles in March 2014. These Privacy Principles are to ensure that your personal information is handled in an open and transparent way.

This is a summary of our policy on the management, integrity, security, collection, disclosure of and access to the personal information of clients. We recommend that you take the time to read this policy and retain a copy for future reference.

  • deal with credit reporting bodies (CRBs) as to your information. 


This information is collected either directly from you, as authorised by you, as is required for our reasonable business purposes, or in accordance with the law. Where it is unreasonable or impractical to collect the information directly from you we may collect that information from other persons that we deal with. When your personal information is provided to us by other people including family, colleagues, clients or agents, and where it is reasonable to assume you would not already know or expect us to have the information, we will take reasonable steps to inform you that we have received your personal information. 


We may disclose your personal information to third parties including: 

  • our employees; 

  • organisations and contractors that may be used to provide you with requested services; 

  • your company or organisation if you use our services under a corporate account; 

  • banks;

  • debt collection agencies, if you default in payment of monies owed to us; 

  • government, regulatory and law enforcement agencies where the disclosure is required or authorised by law;

  • third parties who have instructed us to provide services;

  • organisations that provide products or services used or marketed by us;

  • anybody who represents you;

  • anyone, where you have provided us consent;


You may choose not to provide some of your personal details however this may limit us providing our services to you.

Unsolicited or sensitive information

Sensitive information includes any information about a person’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual preferences or practices, criminal record, health information and certain genetic or biometric information.


We may sometimes collect sensitive information. Sensitive information is only collected if the information is reasonably necessary for the purpose of performing our functions and activities. When we collect sensitive information we will collect it directly from you or with your consent unless we are otherwise entitled to do so. We will destroy unsolicited information, whether sensitive or otherwise, unless it is necessary for the reasonable purposes of our business.

Anonymity or pseudonymity

We will preserve your anonymity or pseudonymity where practical and in accordance with the law.

Overseas Disclosure of information

We generally do not disclose personal information overseas. However, if for any reason we need to disclose your personal information, we will comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act that relates to trans-border data flow.

Government related identifiers

Unless you otherwise authorise us, we will not collect and/or disclose government related identifiers with the exception of your driver’s licence information which is collected in order to accurately identify you.

Cloud Storage

We may use cloud storage to store the personal information we hold about you. The cloud storage and the IT servers may be located outside Australia.


Marketing

We do not disclose any personal or contact information (including email or postal address) to third parties for the purposes of allowing them to market products to clients.

Where you have consented, or where we have a business relationship with you, we may send you updates about us, information about events, or other communications. You may opt out of these communications at any time by contacting the following email sales@3dcentral.com.au.

Social Networking Services

We may use social networking services such as LinkedIn or Instagram to communicate with the public about our good and/or services.

These services have their own privacy policies which you can access directly.

Payment default

If you default in the payment of any fees or charges us, we may give information about you to:

  • a CRB to list your default in the CRB’s records. That information may then be shared by the CRB with other credit providers for credit assessment and other purposes; or

  • a debt collection agency to assist us to collect the payment owed to us by you.
