Terms & Conditions

Church & Dwight (Australia) Pty Ltd and its associated companies (C&D) acknowledges and respects the privacy of individuals. This Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain and manage your personal information (Information) in the course of our business. C&D is committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act.

You are not obligated to provide your Information to us, however, if you do not provide us with the Information we require, or where Information provided is inaccurate or irrelevant, we may not be able to engage with you or may be limited in our ability to engage with you and provide you access to our services.

We reserve the right to make changes or updates to this Privacy Policy from time to time. Should we do so, we will update the policy on the C&D website http://www.churchdwight.com.au/ (Website) accordingly. Consequently, please check the Website regularly to stay informed of any updates. Your continued engagement with C&D, including your use of the Website, or the provision of further Information to us after this Privacy Policy has been revised, constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy and you consent to us collecting, holding, using, disclosing and managing your Information in the way described in this Privacy Policy or permitted under the Privacy Act.

If you do not agree with the practices described in this Privacy Policy, please do not provide us with your Information or interact with our Website.

Collection of your Information

Personal Information
Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified, or reasonably identifiable, individual.
C&D engages with various individuals, including but not limited to customers, visitors of the Website and employees. During the provision of C&D’s services, the types of information that C&D collects will depend on the service requested by you. Generally, the kinds of personal information C&D collects include:

• contact and identification details (e.g. name, addresses, email address and phone number);
• gender and date of birth;
• financial information (e.g. credit card details); and
• other information relevant in the circumstances.

C&D collects your personal information in various ways including when you:

• visit the Website (or any application managed by us);
• interact with our advertisements;
• register to receive marketing communications;

• enter into a competition or promotion through any medium;
• participate in a survey or other market research activities;
• request information from us or submit any feedback or query;
• submit job applications or other forms; and
• otherwise provide us with personal information in person or via telephone, email, fax, post or other means.

We will, in most cases, collect personal information directly from you through written and verbal communication. There may be other occasions when we collect your personal information from other sources such as internet service providers, publicly maintained records, including records publicly available through social media, or other third parties. Generally, we will only collect your personal information from sources other than you if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect your personal information from you, or if those sources are authorised to do so.

Sensitive Information

Sensitive information is information about your racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional/trade association or trade union, sexual preferences or practices, criminal record, and health or genetic information. It is not our general practice to collect sensitive information unless you have consented or the collection is required under law or for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal or equitable claim.

Passive Information

Each time you visit the Website, our server passively collects certain information using various technologies such as cookies, internet tags, web beacons, and navigational data collection methods (log files, server logs, clickstream). This passive information is collected for statistical and marketing purposes, and to help us improve our services. This information can include the type of browser and system you are using, whether you have interacted with any advertisements or links, the address of the Website you have come from and move to after your visit, the date and time of your visit and your server’s Internet Protocol (IP) address. You can set your browser to accept or reject all cookies, or to notify you whenever cookies are offered so that you can decide each time whether to accept them. Should you reject all cookies, your ability to use the Website may be limited as certain features may not function correctly.

Advertising cookies

C&D also uses advertising cookies to collect anonymous data, including visitor demographics and interests, as part of our implementation of the following Google Analytics Advertising Features: Remarketing with Google Analytics, DoubleClick Platform integrations and Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting. We and our third party vendors, such as Google, use first party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) or other first party identifiers, and third party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) or other third party identifiers together to optimise and serve advertisements to you across the internet on the Google Display Network to analyse your interaction with advertisements. Information on how to opt-out of the use of your information by DoubleClick can be found at http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/?hl=en and how to opt-out of Google Analytics at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Use and Disclosure of Your Information

Use

We use your Information for the purposes for which it is provided to us, other related purposes and as permitted or required by law. Generally, we will collect, use and hold your Information if it is reasonably necessary for or directly related to the performance of our functions and for the purposes of:

• confirming your identity;
• facilitating payment for our services;
• communicating with you;
• monitoring, auditing and evaluating our products and services;
• providing you with marketing information about other products or services that we, our related entities and other organisations that we have affiliations with, offer that may be of interest to you;
• facilitating our internal business operations (including the management and improvement of services, analysing future client needs, modelling data, maintaining our relationship with you, data testing and security);
• complying with any legal or regulatory requirements;
• dealing with any complaints or enquiries;
• assessing your application (i.e. employment);
• informing you of future activities or events and to facilitate improvements to the services provided to you;
• identifying users to prepare customised web pages; and
• any other purposes where consent has been provided.

For any of the above purposes we may contact you by electronic or other means.

Information you provide is considered a company asset and may be included among transferred assets if we merge, combine or divest part of our business unless prohibited from doing so by law.
Generally, the particular purpose for which Information is collected is either specified or reasonably apparent at the time the Information is collected.

Disclosure

We disclose your Information for the same purposes for which we collect it. That is, generally, we will only disclose your Information for the purposes listed above, if we have obtained your consent, or otherwise as set out in this Policy. This may include disclosing your Information to:

• our related entities to facilitate our and their internal business processes;
• third party service providers, who assist us in operating our business (including professional advisors, financial advisors and dealers, and technology service providers);
• C&D’s contractors and suppliers, including IT contractors and database designers;
• any other third parties engaged to perform functions or activities on our behalf, including direct marketing;
• any other entity, with your consent, or to whom disclosure is required or authorised by law; and
• any other third parties engaged to perform administrative or other services.

This disclosure is done on a confidential basis or otherwise in accordance with the law. If we engage a third party contractor to perform services which involves handling your Information, the contractor will be subject to the same privacy obligations as we are to protect your Information. However, you should note that other third parties may collect, hold, use and disclose your Information in accordance with their own privacy policies and procedures and these may be different from our own.

Overseas Disclosure

We may disclose your Information to our related entities in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. Our third party services providers may also disclose your Information to overseas recipients. By giving us your Information, you consent to the disclosure of this Information. By consenting to the disclosure of your Information, Australian Privacy Principle 8.1 will not apply and you agree that we do not have to take reasonable steps to ensure the Information is treated in accordance with the APPs.

In circumstances where the provision of your Information to an overseas recipient may be deemed use rather than disclosure, we will instead comply with our use policy as outlined above.

Direct Marketing

We may collect, hold, use and disclose your Information in order to inform you of products and services that may be of interest to you. In the event you do not wish to receive such communications, you can opt-out by contacting us via the contact details set out below or through any opt-out mechanism contained in a marketing communication to you.

Security

C&D stores and holds Information electronically and/or in hard copy. We will take reasonable steps to store and hold Information in a secure and restricted manner and to protect Information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Access to your Information is limited to those individuals who require such access in order to perform their duties and responsibilities. Any Information held by a third party storage provider is done so under a contractual obligation of confidentiality and non-disclosure.
While we have implemented a number of protection mechanisms, you should be vigilant and note that there are inherent risks associated with transmitting Information via the internet. This means we cannot guarantee that data transmission will be 100% secure or safe from attack from unauthorised intruders and no data protection or security measure is completely secure, particularly in relation to online transmissions. You must take care to ensure you protect your Information and you must notify us as soon as possible after you become aware of any security breaches.
Your Information, where not stored electronically, is stored in our secure office premises with restricted access or with an offsite secure storage facility. If we no longer require the use of your Information, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify it.

Access and Accuracy of Your Information

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the Information we collect is accurate, up to date and complete.
You have a right to access, and request the correction of, any of your Information at any time. You may also request that we delete your Information at any time. Any such requests should be made to the Privacy Officer. C&D will grant access to the extent required or authorised by the Privacy Act or other law and take steps reasonable in the circumstances to correct Information where necessary and appropriate. There may be circumstances in which we cannot provide you with access or make a correction. We will advise you of the reasons if we deny you access or do not correct your Information.

Third Party Links

The Website may contain links to third party websites. A link to a third party website is not an endorsement of the accuracy or trustworthiness of that website or its content and any information collected by such websites will be subject to that website’s privacy policy. We cannot and do not assume any responsibility for the privacy or security practices of any other websites that you may be able to access through our Website.
The Website and/or any electronic methods of communication, including without limitation social media, may be accessible through or contain connections to areas where you may be able to publicly post Information, communicate with others, review products and submit media content.
