SVS Auto Repairs and Dyno Tuning aims to provide its customers with the best possible products and service. To achieve this, we aim to make efficient use of the personal information we collect from our customers.
We also want our customers and other persons with whom we interact to have confidence that in handling personal information, we afford that information an appropriate level of privacy, consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles (APP). This statement sets out our policy for dealing with your personal information. This privacy policy does not cover personal information collected or held by SVS AUTO REPAIRS AND DYNO TUNING about its employees.

What kinds of Personal Information does SVS AUTO REPAIRS AND DYNO TUNING collect?
Personal Information is any information or an opinion, in any form and whether true or not, about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.
The kinds of personal information that we collect and hold about you will depend on the circumstances of collection, including whether we collect the information from you as a customer, dealer, supplier, contractor or in some other capacity such as a jobseeker.
For example, if you are a customer or a potential customer, we may collect your name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, licence number, vehicle details and service history. If you deal with us in some other capacity (for example, as a dealer or a supplier), we may collect your name, contact details and any other information you choose to provide to us.
We will only collect sensitive information about you with your consent (unless we are otherwise allowed or required by law to collect that information). If we are not able to collect your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services or do business with you or the organisation with which you are connected.
If you provide us with personal information about another person (such as a joint vehicle owner), please make sure that you tell them about this privacy policy.

How does SVS Auto Repairs and Dyno Tuning collect personal information?
Where possible, SVS AUTO REPAIRS AND DYNO TUNING will collect your personal information directly from you. This may take place in a number of ways, such as when you interact with us in writing (including if you give us a written order), or ask us to provide a product or service or otherwise deal with us over the telephone or internet.
Our website may also offer interactive facilities, such as customer enquiry or comment forms and competition entry forms, where personal information may be collected. If you enter our competitions using your social media account (where available), we may collect information about you from your social media profile.
In addition, we may obtain personal information of customers and prospective customers from third parties such as our dealers and distributors, contractors and regulatory authorities, and from marketing and similar lists which are legally acquired by us.
Regardless of who provides personal information to us, it will always be handled by SVS AUTO REPAIRS AND DYNO TUNING in accordance with this privacy policy and the Australian Privacy Principles.

We may provide this information using any contact number or address provided, including without limitation by post, phone, email and SMS. We will generally give you the opportunity to express a wish not to receive direct marketing communications.

SVS Special Vehicle Services does not disclose personal information to organisations outside SVS AUTO REPAIRS AND DYNO TUNING and its related companies for the purposes of allowing them to direct market their products.

In some circumstances we may need to contact you to obtain additional information, to verify your identity or to clarify your request.

Ensuring personal information is up-to-date
We rely on the personal information we hold in conducting our business. Therefore, it is very important that the information we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold is accurate, complete, up-to-date and relevant whenever we collect or use it. This means that from time to time, we will ask you to tell us if there are any changes to your personal information. If you find that information we hold about you is incorrect, please contact us immediately (in any of the ways set out at the bottom of this policy) and we will take reasonable steps to correct it.

Security of personal information
We may store your information in hardcopy and/or in electronic form. Security of personal information is important to us and we take reasonable precautions to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Some of the ways we protect personal information include:
• external and internal premises security;
• restricting access to personal information only to staff who need it to perform their day to day functions;
• maintaining technology products to prevent unauthorised computer access or damage to electronically stored information, such as requiring identifiers and passwords, firewalls and anti-virus software; and
• maintaining physical security over paper records.

Access to personal information
You can request access to the personal information we hold about you by contacting us in any of the ways set out at the bottom of this policy, and we will generally provide you with access subject to some exceptions permitted by law. Access to personal information may be refused in a number of circumstances, such as where the request for access is frivolous or vexatious. If we deny or restrict your access, we will explain why.
