  • LG Energy Solution Ltd (Company) cares about your personal information.

    This Privacy Policy has been developed in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). The Privacy Policy applies to the collection, storage, use and disclosure of your personal information by the Company. This Privacy Policy applies to information provided to the Company whether via this website or any other means.

    We will only collect, store, use or disclose information that personally identifies you as set out in this Privacy Policy or as permitted by the Privacy Act and, in particular, by the Australian Privacy Principles found in the Privacy Act.

    1. Collecting personal information

      The personal information we may collect will depend on the circumstances of collection, including whether we collect the information from you when you: make an enquiry with the Company; register with the Company, provide information to us via the Company's website; or interact with third parties that are affiliated with the Company.

      The Company:

      • • may collect and hold the following kinds of personal information for Customer Recall Process: name, contact details, communications to or from the Company, transactional information regarding our products or services; and

      • • may collect and hold the following kinds of personal information about contractors, service providers and suppliers for Membership Registration: name, job title, business contact details of company representatives with whom we deal, number of employees, preferred distributor

      We will generally collect personal information directly from you. This may be through various contact methods such as by telephone, email and mail, or when you complete forms, questionnaires, transact or request further information about our products through one of our websites, marketing platforms, or other related campaigns. We may also collect personal information from third parties such as your representatives, government agencies or publicly available sources of information.

      If someone other than you provides us with personal information about you that we did not ask for and we determine that we could have collected this information from you had we asked for it, we will notify you as soon as practicable. However, this notice will not be provided if doing so would be a breach of an obligation of confidence. If we could not have collected this personal information, we will lawfully de-identify or destroy that personal information.

    2. Anonymity

      When contacting us, you have the option to not identify yourself or to use a pseudonym. However, this will not apply if it is impracticable for us to communicate with you that way or if we are required or authorised under Australian law (or a court or tribunal order) to only deal with individuals who have identified themselves.

    3. Use and disclosure of information

      The Company collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information for the purpose for which it was collected (see below), or for related purposes or other purposes.

      Notwithstanding anything else in the Privacy Policy, the Company will not use data collected from the Recall Serial Number Check Form or the Consumer Registration Form for the recalls for any purposes other than providing you with safety measures and related customer services, unless you consent otherwise.

      We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

      • • to facilitate membership registration;

      • • to maintain, manage and develop our relationship with you;

      • • to respond to any questions or enquiries from you or to respond to any feedback you have provided about the Company;

      • • to contact you about our products and services;

      • • to distribute marketing materials or our newsletter to you;

      • • to send you information about new developments, products, services and special offers;

      • • to send you information about the Company;

      • • to send you notifications about recall range;

      • • to contract out some of our functions to external service providers and suppliers (such as mailing houses, printing companies, IT providers and advertising and marketing services);

      • • to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations; and

      • • such purposes for which we may obtain consent from time to time.

      The Company may disclose personal information to third parties for the purposes set out above, including but not limited to:

      • • the Company's contracted service providers;

      • • Commonwealth agencies;

      • • State and Territory agencies;

      • • enforcement bodies;

      • • the Company's legal advisors and representatives;

      If you do not provide the personal information required by the Company, we may not be able to provide services to you or contact you in relation to issues associated with the product and its use and installation. Also, you may be restricted from entry into the contract, performance of the contract including remittance of payment, which means that collection of information is necessary for this purpose, results from the provisions of law and is a condition of concluding a contract. The provision of personal information in order to fulfil the legitimate interest of the Company is voluntary, but necessary for the achievement of the above objectives.
