GAVL – Privacy Policy
This statement sets out the policies of GAVL AUST Pty Ltd (ACN 611 741 854) (“we”, “us”, “our”) in relation to the collection, handling, use and disclosure of your personal information. The term ‘personal information’ when used in this Privacy Policy has the same meaning given to that term in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We recognise that your privacy and the protection of your personal information is very important to you. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. We are committed to protecting your personal information as set out in the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

We will only collect personal information that is necessary for our business functions or activities and we will do so, only by lawful and fair means and in an unintrusive way. This information may include your name, email and mailing address, contact numbers and your date of birth.
We may collect your personal information in various ways including when you access and use the GAVL Platform or when you contact us or send any correspondence to us. We generally only collect personal information directly from you but we may also collect personal information from third parties including publicly available sources of information or any other organisations where you have given your consent.
If you do not provide us with the personal information described above, then this may affect our ability to provide you with access to and use of the GAVL Platform, or any of our other products or services that you may request.
