  1. Personal Information Collection

(a) Personal information is any information, including any opinion, about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:

i) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and

ii) whether the information or opinion is recorded in material form or not.

(b) Sensitive Information is personal information which is given a greater level of protection under the Australian Privacy Principles, such as information about your health, criminal records, your religious beliefs or affiliations or political opinions. We only collect such information where we are permitted to do so under the Australian Privacy Principles and if such information is necessary to provide our services to you or where we are required to collect this information by law.

(c) We may invite you to provide information about yourself so that we are able to provide our services to you. We do not collect information about you from other external sources.

(d) The extent and type of personal information we receive from you depends on the information you provide to us through our mailbox, website, smartphone application, telephone, face-to-face meetings and/or when you request services.

(e) In order for us to provide you with our services or otherwise to deal with you we generally require your name, address, contact details, credit card details and live location (using GPS) and the name, breed and medical details of your pet. The type and amount of information necessary will vary depending on the services you require.

(f) Where it is lawful and reasonable to do so, you can remain anonymous or use a pseudonym if you wish, however it may reduce the type and quality of services we will be able to provide.

(i) We will release specific information about you or your account to comply with any valid legal inquiry or process such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute or Court order.
