Privacy Policy

This policy explains how Rose Property Group Pty Ltd, Rosecorp Marketing Pty Ltd, Rose Group Marketing Pty Ltd and Beaches CHB Pty Ltd (Rose Group) collect, store, use and disclose personal information (Policy). The purpose of this Policy is to assure anyone who interacts or does business with Rose Group that Rose Group will use its best endeavours to comply with both the letter and spirit of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Act).

Compliance with Privacy Legislation

It is Rose Group’s policy to respect the confidentiality of information and the privacy of individuals. Rose Group complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Act. The principles are designed to protect the privacy of individuals by regulating the way entities handle personal information.
In summary, the Act defines ‘personal information’ as information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

Collection of Personal Information

Rose Group collects personal information from you in a number of different ways. We may collect personal information directly from you or in the course of our dealings with you, for example when you provide personal information to us:

– In person
– By email
– Over the phone; or
– Through use of our website (for instances where you fill out an online enquiry form)

Rose Group may also collect personal information about you from publicly available sources of information and, if you consent, from third parties (including third party selling agents or references). The personal information we collect about you may include (but may not be limited to) your:

– Name;
– Contact details (eg phone number, address, email address etc);
– Occupation;
– Age and other demographic information;
– Internet Protocol address;

If Rose Group is not able to collect personal information about you we may not be able to provide you with services and assistance to the extent that they require us to collect, use or disclose personal information, or, in the case of job applicants, assess your application for employment.

Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

Rose Group operates a number of businesses, which handle personal information. Rose Group’s policy is to use or disclose personal information for the purpose for which it was collected. Rose Group may also use or disclose your personal information for any secondary purpose that is related to a purpose for which we collected it, where an individual would reasonably expect it to be used or disclosed for that purpose.

We may also use or disclose your personal information where the use or disclosure is authorised or required by law. If Rose Group wishes to use or disclose the personal information in other circumstances we will obtain the customer’s prior consent to do so.

Sharing Personal Information with Other Organizations

We may also disclose your personal information to third parties, including disclosure to:

– Our related companies;
– Contractors performing services for us (including third party selling agents); and
– Other third party service providers we use in conducting our business (such as information technology service providers and banks).

We require that third party organizations to whom we disclose your personal information (for example, a company which helps maintain Rose Group’s computer systems or sends out Rose Group mail) to acknowledge the confidentiality of this information, respect any individual’s right to privacy and comply with the APPs and this Policy. We also require that these organizations use this information only for the purposes for which we collected the information (or a secondary related purpose as described above) and otherwise follow our reasonable directions with respect to this information.

Marketing

As mentioned above, Rose Group may send advertising mail to its customers, including, where they have opted in, via email or other digital communications.

Storage and Security of Personal Information

Rose Group will take reasonable steps to protect personal information that it collects and to ensure that the information is accurate and up-to-date.

The Rose Group electronic database is held on a secure server system domiciled in Australia with strict access controls monitored by our third party contractor. The Rose Group electronic database is password protected on encrypted hardware and can only be accessed by a limited number of senior employees and personnel of Rose Group and third party database contractors. All access events by personnel of Rose Group and the third party database contractor are digitally recorded by the database system. During the collection of your personal information some data is recorded on hardcopy forms. These forms are stored in secure facilities at the location of the data collection, such as a display centre.

Customers have a right to request access to personal information about them held by Rose Group. To obtain a copy of the personal information, please contact the Rose Group Privacy Officer using the contact details in the ‘Contact Us’ section below.
