Privacy Policy

Privacy Policy

We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This policy applies to our website, iangrantscaravans.com.au, and to our dealership at 5357 Princes Hwy, Traralgon VIC 3844.

The personal information we collect

Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:

  • Identity and contact details — your name, phone number, email address and postal address.
  • Enquiry details — the caravan(s) you’re interested in and any message or information you provide through our website enquiry form, by phone, by email or in person.
  • Purchase, finance and trade-in information — if you proceed with a purchase, finance application or trade-in, we may collect information such as your date of birth, identification and driver licence details, financial and employment details, and details of any vehicle or van you wish to trade in.
  • Service and warranty information — van details, service history and warranty registration details.
  • Website usage information — see “Cookies, analytics and online advertising” below.

We generally do not collect sensitive information. If we ever need to, we will seek your consent unless we are otherwise permitted by law to collect it.

How we collect personal information

We usually collect personal information directly from you — for example, when you complete our website enquiry form, call or email us, visit our dealership, or apply for finance or a warranty. In some cases we may collect information from third parties, such as finance providers, credit reporting bodies, manufacturers or suppliers, where it is reasonable and practicable to do so.

Why we collect and use personal information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to your enquiries and provide you with information about our caravans and offers;
  • process sales, finance applications, trade-ins, deliveries, servicing and warranty claims;
  • manage our relationship with you and provide customer support;
  • send you marketing or promotional material about our products and offers, where you would reasonably expect this or you have consented (you can opt out at any time — see below);
  • comply with our legal obligations; and
  • operate, maintain and improve our website and business.

Who we disclose personal information to

We may disclose your personal information to:

  • caravan and component manufacturers and suppliers (for example, in relation to orders, warranties and recalls);
  • finance providers, insurers and credit reporting bodies (where you apply for finance or insurance through us);
  • our service providers — including IT, website hosting, email and customer-communication providers who help us run our business;
  • our advertising and analytics providers (see below);
  • our professional advisers, such as accountants and lawyers; and
  • government or regulatory bodies, or other parties, where required or authorised by law.

We do not sell your personal information.

Overseas disclosure

Some of our service providers are located, or store data, overseas. For example:

  • our email and customer-communication tools (currently Brevo) may process information in the European Union;
  • our email and productivity systems (Microsoft 365) may store information in Australia or overseas;
  • our website analytics provider (Google) may process information in the United States; and
  • our advertising platforms (such as Meta) may process information in the United States.

Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Cookies, analytics and online advertising

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help it function, to understand how visitors use the site, and to deliver and measure advertising. This includes:

  • Google Analytics (via Google Tag Manager), which collects information about how visitors use our website so we can measure and improve it; and
  • advertising tools, such as the Meta Pixel, which help us show relevant ads on platforms like Facebook and Instagram and measure how well they perform.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, opt out of Google Analytics using Google’s opt-out browser add-on, and opt out of personalised advertising through the relevant platform’s settings (for example, your Facebook ad preferences).

Storage and security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, using physical, electronic and procedural safeguards. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure; while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law, after which we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.

Direct marketing and opting out

We may send you marketing communications about our products and offers where permitted by law. Every marketing email will include an unsubscribe option, and you can opt out at any time by contacting us using the details below. We will action your request promptly.

Accessing and correcting your information

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete. To make a request, contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before providing access, and we will respond within a reasonable period. In limited circumstances we may decline a request, in which case we will explain why.

Complaints

If you have a concern or complaint about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first using the details below so we can address it. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on our website, and the “Effective date” above shows when it was last updated.
