Privacy Principles

Hesko complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs”) contained within the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). These principles regulate how organisations collect, use, store, disclose, secure, and dispose of personal information.

  • Any additional information voluntarily provided to us

 

In limited circumstances, and only where reasonably necessary for business operations or agreed transactions, we may collect and retain payment-related information through secure third-party processing systems.

 

Where practicable, we will collect personal information directly from you. However, in some circumstances, we may receive information from third parties, including suppliers, distributors, service providers, or publicly available sources. Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure you are aware of the information received.

Where you have consented to receive marketing communications, we may provide information relating to our products, services, events, or promotions that may be relevant to you. You may opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions or contacting us directly.

Cookies, Analytics, and Tracking Technologies

Our website may utilise cookies and similar technologies to enhance website performance, personalise user experience, and analyse visitor interactions.

 

Cookies are small data files stored on your device by your web browser. These technologies enable our website to recognise returning users, maintain preferences, and improve functionality.

 

We may use analytics and advertising technologies, including, but not limited to:

  • Google Analytics
  • Meta Pixel
  • LinkedIn Insight Tag
  • Website tracking and remarketing technologies

 

These tools may collect information regarding browsing behaviour, pages visited, session duration, referring URLs, device information, and interactions with our website. The information collected through these technologies is generally anonymised and used for statistical, analytical, and marketing purposes.

 

You may disable cookies through your browser settings; however, doing so may affect certain functionality or user experience features of the website.

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

Hesko will not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

 

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to operate our business, fulfil contractual obligations, or where required by law. This may include disclosure to:

  • Suppliers, distributors, and logistics providers
  • Payment processors and financial institutions
  • Information technology and cloud service providers
  • Marketing, analytics, or communication service providers
  • Professional advisers, including accountants, auditors, and legal advisers
  • Regulatory bodies, government agencies, or law enforcement authorities, where required by law

 

Where personal information is disclosed to third-party service providers, we take reasonable steps to ensure those providers comply with appropriate privacy and confidentiality obligations.
In the event of a business restructure, acquisition, merger, or sale of business assets, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to confidentiality obligations.

Sensitive Information

Sensitive information is defined under the Privacy Act and may include information relating to health, biometric data, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, trade union membership, criminal history, or other protected categories.

 

Hesko will only collect, use, or disclose sensitive information where:

 

  • It is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities
  • You have provided explicit consent
  • The collection is required or authorised by law.

 

Any sensitive information collected will be handled with heightened security and confidentiality measures

Security of Personal Information

We take reasonable technical, administrative, and organisational measures to protect personal information against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, interference, disclosure, or alteration.

 

Personal information may be stored within secure systems, including cloud-based platforms, CRM systems, accounting software, encrypted databases, and protected internal servers. Access to personal information is restricted to authorised personnel who require access for legitimate business purposes.

 

While we strive to implement commercially reasonable safeguards, no method of electronic transmission or storage is entirely secure. Accordingly, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted via the internet.

 

When personal information is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy, delete, or permanently de-identify the information.

Access to and Correction of Personal Information

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you and request corrections where that information is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated.

 

Requests for access or correction should be submitted in writing using the contact details provided below. We may require proof of identity before releasing personal information.

 

In certain circumstances permitted by law, we may decline access requests. If access is denied, we will provide reasons where required.

 

An administrative fee may apply for providing copies of requested information.

Direct Marketing Communications

We may use your personal information to send you updates, newsletters, product announcements, promotional communications, and information about our products and services.

 

These communications may be delivered via:

  • Email
  • SMS
  • Telephone
  • Direct mail

 

You may opt out of receiving direct marketing communications at any time by following the unsubscribe instructions or contacting us directly.

 

We do not disclose personal information to unrelated third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your consent.
