Why and When ABGAL may collect personal information

ABGAL collects information online, by email, post, fax, face to face and over the phone. Information such as your name, email address, street address, phone and fax number may be collected to respond to requests for product information, warranty registration, and purchase and delivery of goods.

Business customers may need to provide further details, including ABN numbers, date of birth, and bank account details, to enable us to provide credit services. Bank account details of customers and suppliers may be retained upon request, to enable regular direct payments and deposits.

Information may also be used to resolve disputes or problems, to prevent illegal activities and to enforce our Terms and Conditions of Sale.


Sharing personal information

ABGAL will never sell or rent your personal information to any third parties. We may disclose some personal information to third parties where necessary for completing a transaction on your behalf - for example, your name and address would be provided to our freight company for the purpose of your product delivery.

We may also disclose your personal information to various law enforcement agencies and governments around the world for security and customs purposes, for example where goods we manufacture are shipped overseas.

Other circumstances where we sometimes engage third party contractors are to:

  • provide email and mail handling services
  • provide electronic funds transfer services, and credit card account processing
  • process inquiries made via www.abgal.com.au
  • conduct market research
  • assist with obtaining payment from debtors

Our relationships with such third party service providers are governed by our contracts with them. Those service contracts contain privacy and confidentiality provisions which are consistent with the Australian Privacy Law obligations.

Other than the above, we will not disclose your personal information without your consent unless disclosure is either necessary to prevent a threat to life or health, authorised or required by law, reasonably necessary to enforce the law or necessary to investigate a suspected unlawful activity.


Security of personal information

The transfer of information across any media may involve a certain degree of risk, however, helping you to keep your details secure is a priority for ABGAL. All personal information submitted via shop.abgal.com.au is completed using a fully encrypted SSL Protocol.

Any personal information which is retained is stored in a secure environment, accessed only by our authorised personnel. Destruction/disposal of any stored personal information is undertaken in a secure manner, to ensure information is de-identified.
