Privacy Policy

‍Extra Labs Pty Ltd (ACN 648 945 948) trading as Cost Center and its Related Bodies Corporate (as defined by the provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) (Cost Center, we, us and our) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), which govern the way private sector organisations collect, use, keep secure and disclose Personal Information or Personal Data. 

The Privacy Act defines “Personal Information” to mean any information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent or can be reasonably ascertained, from the information or an opinion.

If you are a resident of the European Union or the United Kingdom, we are required to comply with the GDPR (as defined in Section 12) in relation to your Personal Data (as defined in Section 12).

If you have any concerns or complaints about the manner in which your Personal Information or Personal Data has been collected, used or disclosed by us, please contact us via the information set out in Section 11 and will resolve your concern or answer your question.We recommend that you keep this information for future reference.

1. The kinds of Personal Information or Personal Data collected, used and disclosed by Cost Center
‍
We will only use or disclose your Personal Information or Personal Data for the primary purposes for which it was collected, or as consented to by you.  At or around the time we collect Personal Information or Personal Data from you, we will endeavour to provide you with a notice which details how we will use and disclose that specific information.  We set out some common collection, use and disclosure instances in the table below. 

2. How Cost Center collects and holds Personal Information or Personal Data

2.1 Collection from general enquiries, Cost Center customers and in connection with human resources
‍As much as possible or unless provided otherwise in this Privacy Policy or a notification, we will collect your Personal Information or Personal Data directly from you.  When you engage in certain activities, such as filling out a survey or sending us feedback, we may ask you to provide certain information.  It is completely optional for you to engage in these activities.

Depending upon the reason for requiring the information, some of the information we ask you to provide may be identified as mandatory or voluntary.  If you do not provide the mandatory information or any other information we require in order for us to provide our products or services to you, we may be unable to provide our products or services to you in an effective manner, or at all.

2.2 Collection of Personal Information or Personal Data as a marketing target
‍If your Personal Information or Personal Data is included in the marketing data of our customers, we will collect that Personal Information or Personal Data about you from other sources and third parties. Some examples of these alternative collection events are:

a) when we collect Personal Information or Personal Data about you from our customers; or
b) when we collect Personal Information or Personal Data about you from ad network platforms such as Facebook.

Generally, your Personal Information or Personal Data is used by us in aggregate form to provide our customers with market insights.  We try to limit use of Personal Information or Personal Data in a manner that has any potential to identify an individual.

‍Notification of collection
‍If we collect details about you from someone else, we will, whenever reasonably possible, make you aware that we have done this and why, unless special circumstances apply, including as described in this clause 2.3(a) to 2.3(d) below. Generally speaking, we will not tell you when we collect Personal Information or Personal Data about you in the following circumstances:

a) where we collect your Personal Information or Personal Data on behalf of one of our customers (and we are therefore unlikely to be able to contact you directly);

c) where information is collected from any personal referee you have listed on any application form (including any employment application) with Cost Center;

c) where information is collected from publicly available sources including but not limited to court judgments, directorship and bankruptcy searches, social media platforms (such as Facebook, Twitter, Google, Instagram etc); or

d) as otherwise required or authorised by law.

2.4 Unsolicited Personal Information or Personal Data
‍In the event we collect Personal Information or Personal Data from you, or a third party, in circumstances where we have not requested or solicited that information (known as unsolicited information), and it is determined by Cost Center (in its absolute discretion) that the Personal Information or Personal Data is not required, we will destroy the information or ensure that the information is de-identified.

In the event that the unsolicited Personal Information or Personal Data collected is in relation to potential future employment with Cost Center, such as your CV, resume or candidacy related information, and it is determined by Cost Center (in its absolute discretion) that it may consider you for potential future employment, Cost Center may keep the Personal Information or Personal Data on its human resource records.  

‍2.5 How we hold your Personal Information or Personal Data
‍Once we collect your Personal Information or Personal Data, we will either hold it securely and store it on infrastructure owned or controlled by us or with a third party service provider who have taken reasonable steps to ensure they comply with the Privacy Act. We provide some more general information on our security measures in Section 9 (Data security and quality).

2.6 Cookies and IP addresses
‍If you use our website, we may utilise "cookies" which enable us to monitor traffic patterns, trends and to serve you more efficiently if you revisit our website.  In most cases, a cookie does not identify you personally but may identify your internet service provider or computer.  

We may gather your IP address as part of our business activities and to assist with any operational difficulties or support issues with our services.  This information does not identify you personally.

However, in some cases, cookies may enable us to aggregate certain information with other Personal Information or Personal Data we collect and hold about you. Cost Center extends the same privacy protection to your Personal Information or Personal Data, whether gathered via cookies or from other sources, as detailed in this Privacy Policy.  

You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and this will provide you with an opportunity to either accept or reject it in each instance.  However, if you disable cookies, you may not be able to access certain areas of our websites or take advantage of the improved web site experience that cookies offer.

The Privacy Act requires us to take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure that any recipients of your Personal Information or Personal Data outside of Australia do not breach the privacy principles contained within the Privacy Act.  By providing your consent, under the Privacy Act, we are not required to take such steps as may be reasonable in the circumstances.  However, despite this, we acknowledge the importance of protecting Personal Information or Personal Data and have taken reasonable steps to ensure that your information is used by third parties securely and in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy.
