This Privacy Policy explains how Porsche Centre Townsville handles your personal information and how to contact us if you have any queries about our handling of your personal information.
Personal information is information or an opinion, in any form and whether true or not, about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.
Collection of Personal Information
Porsche Centre Townsville will not collect personal information about you unless that information is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities. Porsche Centre Townsville will collect personal information only by fair and lawful means.
When Porsche Centre Townsville collects personal information directly from you, we will take reasonable steps at or before the time of collection to ensure that you are aware of certain key matters, such as:
the purposes for which we are collecting the information;
the organisations (or types of organisations) to which we would normally disclose information of that kind;
the fact that you are usually able to access the information; and
the identity of our organisation and how to contact us.
Porsche Centre Townsville will collect information directly from you where it is reasonable and practicable to do so.

the secondary purpose is related to the primary purpose of collection, and you would reasonably expect that Porsche Centre Townsville would use or disclose your personal information in that way; or
you have consented to the use or disclosure of your personal information for the secondary purpose; or
the fact that you are usually able to access the information; and
the use or disclosure is required or authorised by or under law.
