If you don’t provide us with certain information, we may be unable to provide you the information, products or services you wish to receive.

Information that is not Personal Information (De-Identified Data)
You acknowledge that we may use or modify data and information (including Personal Information) that you provide us or we collect from you, including by aggregation and other de-identifying techniques, to produce or derive a compilation of data which has Personal Information removed from it such that the identity of any individual person cannot be reasonably ascertained from the data (De-Identified Data). You agree that we own all rights, title and interest in and to the De-Identified Data and consequently we may use such De-Identified Data for our own commercial purposes. De-Identified Data is not Personal Information because the De-Identified Data does not directly or indirectly reveal the identity of a person. However, if we combine or connect De-Identified Data with other data so that the identity of a person can be reasonably ascertained, we will treat the combined or connected data as Personal Information which may only be used, disclosed, stored and transmitted in accordance with this Privacy Policy and the sections of our Terms that apply to Personal Information.
Other Sources of Information Collection
Our Website and/or the Services may have links to other websites, social media platforms, blogs and/or other similar-type sites, platforms or third party products (“Third Party Sites”). We may also work with third party service providers (including, for example, sub-contractors in technical, payment and delivery services, analytics providers, search information providers, credit reference agencies), including to manage information that you provide from time to time (“Third Party Service Providers”).
When we use Third Party Service Providers, we use reasonable efforts to share with them Personal Information only to the extent permitted by the Act and to make sure they are as careful with your Personal Information as we are. We may disclose or transfer Personal Information to Third Party Service Providers and our Hosting Service Provider to be stored overseas (see “Hosting and Transfer of Information we collect” below).
We may receive information about you from Third Party Sites and Third Party Service Providers. Generally speaking we have no control over what information you may pass over to Third Party Sites or Third Party Service Providers and they are not subject to this Policy. Any such information that you disclose to Third Party Sites and Third Party Service Providers will be subject to their own privacy policies or other terms, of which you should make yourself aware. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any Personal Information you choose to disclose to a third party through any Third Party Sites or Third Party Service Providers, even if referred to by or linked to any of our Websites or Services, and that such third parties may store Personal Information you disclose to them in any location in accordance with their own security standards.
Please note that third parties (including, for example, advertising networks and providers of external services like web traffic analysis services) may also use cookies, over which we have no control. These cookies are likely to be analytical/performance cookies or targeting cookies.
Hosting and Transfer of Information we collect
We engage a third party Hosting Service Provider to provide data storage services and to store Personal Information, data and information submitted by users of our Services. Our Hosting Service Provider and other third party service providers may transmit, maintain and store all or parts of Personal Information, data and information on multiple servers across various jurisdictions in addition to servers in Australia. Servers in which information (including Personal Information) may be stored by our Hosting Service Provider and other third party service providers are likely to be located in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United States, although additional or other locations may be used by our Hosting Service Provider or other third party service providers in the future.
By providing us with information (including Personal Information), using our Website or Services or registering to use any of our Services, you: (a) consent to us transferring Personal Information, data and information (including the categories of Personal Information listed in this Privacy Policy) to our Hosting Service Provider and any other third party provider for the purpose of allowing our Hosting Service Provider and third party service providers to host all data necessary to support our Website and the Services you use and for us to provide, and facilitate payment for, the information and services accessible via our Website and Services; and (b) consent to us, our Hosting Service Provider and any other third party service provider, transmitting, maintaining and storing Personal Information, data and information (including the categories of Personal Information listed in this Privacy Policy) between and on servers located outside of Australia, including in the regions referred to above. We may engage other data storage providers or store your information (including Personal Information) on servers in other locations in the future and will update this Privacy Policy if that is the case.
How long do we keep your Personal Information secure and private?
We keep Personal Information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose that it has been processed and taking into account any legal requirements under the Act or any other applicable laws of New South Wales, Australia.
Safety and Security
Security
All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers. Any payment transactions will be encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer so we advise that you sign off when you have finished using a shared computer and strongly recommend and that you do not use the browser’s password memory function as that would permit other people using your Device to access your Personal Information.
Password
We operate a ‘one-way’ password security system – that is, each password is encrypted and sent only to you. We cannot RESEND a password, as we do not store it. We can only reset a password upon request.
Without stating the obvious, you should never share your password – it is the gatekeeper to your List protection. Anybody who leaves your organisation should have the access to the Services terminated immediately.
The Dreaded Hack
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your Personal Information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our Website and any transmission is at your own risk.
Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access, loss, interference, use, destruction, modification or disclosure of your Personal Information. However, we cannot guarantee the security of such information and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability and responsibility for any damages you may suffer due to any loss, unauthorised access, misuse or alterations of any information you submit to our Website.
We will also comply with the notification and other requirements of the Act where your Personal Information held by us has been inadvertently lost or disclosed or improperly accessed and that loss, disclosure or access may result in serious harm to the person to whom the Personal Information relates.
Your rights
You can always choose not to provide information. If the information is needed for a transaction or process, then the transaction or process will not proceed.
You will usually be able to add or update certain information on pages such as “My Account”. When you update information, we will keep a copy of the prior version for our records unless you write to us to require us not to.
The Act gives you the right to access Personal Information held about you and to request that it is corrected if any of your details held are incorrect. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Act. If you wish to access your Personal Information, or believe that any of the Personal Information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, irrelevant, out-of-date or misleading, please contact us via email to support@sureharvest.com.au. We will respond to any access request within a reasonable period. Any access request may be subject to a fee of $20 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you. We will take reasonable steps to correct any inaccurate, incomplete, out-of-date, irrelevant or misleading Personal Information if you request us to do so, where required by law. If we decline to make the requested amendment for reasons permitted by the Act, if you ask us to do so, we will include a note with that Personal Information in your file that you have requested it to be amended.
If you wish to verify the details that we hold about you may do so by contacting us via e-mail to support@sureharvest.com.au. Our security procedures mean that we may request proof of identity before we reveal information.
We may withhold or refuse you access to Personal Information if we are legally authorised to do so or where its disclosure to you is restricted by law, is the subject of legal action, or may compromise the privacy of another person. We will give you reasons explaining why we have refused access, or refused access in the form you have requested, unless it would be unreasonable to do so, having regard to the reasons for our refusal.
If you would like to know more about data protection generally, there is information available from the Australian Information Commissioner at the following website – www.oaic.gov.au.
How can you stop receiving marketing information?
Where marketing information is forwarded to you via electronic messages, there will be a functional ‘unsubscribe’ mechanism contained in the message. If you no longer wish to be contacted by us or receive such marketing information, you can advise us by emailing us at support@sureharvest.com.au or by clicking the ‘unsubscribe function’ (where marketing information is sent electronically).
We will keep a record of your request to ensure you do not receive that information in the future.
You cannot refuse to receive information which we are required to provide you by law.
