2. What types of personal information do we collect?

We only collect personal information if it is necessary for one of our functions or activities. The types of personal information we collect will depend on the reason for collection. Generally, the information that we could collect about you includes:

In addition, we collect personal information relating to:

people involved in or through organisations that we support or sponsor;
our agents, suppliers, installers and their employees. This information is collected for business-related purposes but contains some limited personal information of the contact details of the people that we deal with;
people who correspond with us, including through our website, in which case we may keep a copy of that correspondence and relevant contact details;
job applicants: employment and academic histories, the names of their referees and, in some cases, limited health information based on testing undertaken by or for us. We will collect this information directly, from organisations that provide recruitment related services to us, and from third parties who provide job applicants with professional or personal references.

Financial information that we collect (including through our website, telephone and email) is used by us to bill you for products and services. Any bank account and credit card numbers that are collected are used for the purpose of transaction approval and funds transfer, and are securely held.

We may not be able to provide our products or services, or make offers to you without your personal information. Sometimes, you can purchase goods from us without disclosing personal information, but in this situation we may not be able to provide you with the full range of services available.

3. How we collect and hold personal information

Kleenheat collects personal information in a variety of ways and in different situations. In particular, we collect personal information when:

you sign up online or send us an email or letter;

Depending on the nature of our interaction with you, we may collect personal information from third parties – for instance, from service providers that assist customers in setting up or transferring gas accounts when moving home or from energy network distributors and market operators, who provide energy usage data and associated information, or from providers such as NearMaps that supply household attribute information linked to your address (for example roof type and size) to help us assess energy solutions, such as solar and battery suitability.

We will also, from time to time, collect personal information from our Related Companies, and from trusted third parties such as Flybuys (as described in ‘Our relationship with Flybuys’ section below), OnePass, credit insurers, credit reporting bodies or external bodies such as the Energy and Water Ombudsman’s Office and Services Australia or (where you consent), installers (including installers participating on our Kleenheat Spark platform), your accountants or professional advisers.

We hold personal information electronically and, in some cases, hard copy form, both at our own secure premises and with the assistance of our service providers. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we hold is protected from loss, misuse, or unauthorised access by ensuring that this information is held on secure servers in controlled facilities and that information stored within our computer systems can only be accessed by those entrusted with authority and computer network password sanctions.

The third parties to whom we disclose personal information may be located in Australia and other countries including the United States of America, the United Kingdom, European countries and the Asia Pacific region (including but not limited to Singapore, New Zealand, India and Japan). We may use cloud computing solutions or data storage located overseas in which case information (including your personal information) may be stored on computer servers located outside of Australia.

6. Digital Services and analytics

We may collect personal information about you when you use and access our digital services (i.e., websites, apps, or any of our chat functionalities) and trusted third parties (such as social media platforms and other third-party platforms). Like many website and app operators, we use digital service technologies like cookies (which are small data files transferred onto devices when a website or app is accessed), tags, pixels (which ‘tag’ devices), or other digital identifiers including those associated with tracking and advertising identifiers across these digital services, that help us:

authenticate you;
through third-party pixels (such as those from Meta and Google Ads) track the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns, enable remarketing to website/app visitors, and exclude audiences from seeing specific ads based on prior website visits. These pixels may collect information such as pages visited, actions taken (e.g. sign-ups), and device and browser details and are only used to assist in providing an effective service on our websites/apps and to improve the accuracy and relevance of our advertising. You cannot be identified from this information and it is only used to assist us in providing an effective service on our websites and to improve the accuracy and relevancy of our digital advertising;
maintain your browsing session and remember you and your preferences when you return;
monitor how you use our websites and apps, including the parts you visit and actions you take;
combine information with Related Companies and selected third party suppliers;
provide you with advertising, offers, and experiences that may interest you from us, our Related Companies and selected third party suppliers, both on our website and apps, and when you visit other websites and apps (such as social media and other third-party platforms);
protect the security of our website, apps, and customers and manage our network usage;
improve our website experience (including through collecting data on clicks, taps, and scrolling behaviour, and heatmaps and session recordings). Data collected through these tools is anonymised and used solely to enhance website usability and design;
allow you to interact with social media platforms, for example by ‘liking’ and sharing our content.

We use cookies to help us collect data, which may include personal information. We will handle that personal information in the ways set out in this Privacy Policy. The cookies we use include ‘session’ cookies (which are retained only during a current browsing session) and ‘persistent’ cookies (which are retained by your device or browser between sessions).

Some of the digital service technologies used on our website and apps are created or set for third parties who provide content or services to us. These third parties include social media and online platforms such as Meta (including Facebook and Instagram), Pinterest, Snapchat and Reddit, and digital marketing services, advertising networks, analytics providers and content providers. See below for further description of how we work with Google. We may use other third-party services in similar ways.

We also use website analytics tools such as Google Analytics to collect anonymised data about how visitors interact with our website and enable website personalisation and testing. This includes browsing information such as:

pages visited;
general geographic information (e.g. Country, state, city);
device and browser information; and
interactions such as sign-ups completed.

If you have a Google account and you enable it to associate your web and app browsing history with your Google account (and to use information from the account to personalise ads you see across the web) Google may use data from the Google account in accordance with the terms of use of that account (including enabling marketing to you across multiple devices that you use). Google users can control their advertising settings (or opt out of personalised ads altogether) at Google Account.

You can change your cookie settings on your web browser to block some cookies but, if you do, our website or app may not work as well for you. See allaboutcookies.org or youronlinechoices.com.au for more information on how to change your cookie settings for many common browsers, and to learn more about cookies generally.

Our site may contain links to other sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or policies of those sites and recommend that you review their privacy policies.

Our collection of personal or non-personal information through social media platforms is determined by your social media account privacy settings and the privacy policy of the social media platform operator. Your use of those social media platforms is governed by the terms of use applicable to the relevant platform.

7. Our relationship with Flybuys

As a participant in Flybuys we may collect from Flybuys and other Related Companies that are participants in Flybuys (and share and combine personal information with Flybuys and other Related Companies that are participants in Flybuys) the personal information of Flybuys members (including contact details, transaction information, interactions with Flybuys and insights from interactions with Flybuys and other Related Companies that are participants in Flybuys). We may use the personal information of Flybuys members for the purposes set out in this policy and in particular:

to allow us to engage with them and provide more personalised and targeted advertising when they use our website/apps, social media and other platforms;
to allow us to personalise the communications, marketing offers, customer surveys and trading updates that we send;
to enable us to improve product offerings, service offerings, advertising and offers based on member shopping and browsing habits;
to develop aggregated insights about the preferences of Flybuys members who shop with us;
for data analytics including for insights and strategic and operational decision making;
for product safety-related matters (including recalls);
for other purposes where you have provided consent to Flybuys or us; and
for other purposes described in Flybuys’ Privacy Policy.

We will also collect personal information about Flybuys members who are Kleenheat customers from those customers and from other sources set out in this policy. We may combine the personal information that we receive from Flybuys with other personal information we collect about the customer.

We may retain personal information about a customer who is a Flybuys member after they have ceased to be a Flybuys member (or after we have ceased to be a Flybuys participant) if we need to use the information for a reason set out above or any other lawful purpose.

8. Credit reporting and credit information privacy

The way in which we collect, hold, store and use credit-related information about you is similar to the ways in which we collect, hold, store and use other personal information. The types of credit-related information that we collect about you is detailed in sections 1 and 2 of this policy, in addition, (where you are a commercial customer or guarantor) we may sometimes seek information about assets that you hold and information about your business trading position and history. We will:

either collect that information from you directly, or we will obtain it through third parties or the credit reporting system as set out in section 3 of this policy;
use that information for several purposes, including establishing your account with us to enable us to provide you with goods and services and collect monies owing to us; and
disclose that information for several purposes and to several people including legal advisors, print and mail houses, marketing research advisers, credit reporting bodies, mercantile agents debt collectors and (where you give your consent) people guaranteeing the payment of your account.

We participate in the credit reporting system. If you apply for credit with us, we may request a credit report about you from a credit reporting body. These credit reports contain information about you which assists us to assess your application, including information about your credit history with other credit providers.

Credit reporting bodies can provide credit providers with credit reports in certain circumstances, including when an individual makes an application for credit, or when a credit provider is seeking to help an individual avoid defaulting on their credit. Credit reports are designed to assist credit providers to accurately assess an individual’s ability to repay credit.

To request a credit report, we will provide information to the credit reporting body that identifies you, as well as information about your application – including the type and amount of credit you are applying for.

We will often combine the information obtained from a credit reporting body with information that we already hold about you. For example, when we assess your application for credit, we may combine the information you provide on your application with the information contained in your credit report obtained from a credit reporting body to calculate a rating or score. This will determine whether you qualify for the credit you are applying for.

Some information about the credit you hold with us may be disclosed to a credit reporting body so it can be included in your credit report and shared with other credit providers that request a report from that credit reporting body.

We note that:

credit reporting bodies may include the information in reports provided to credit providers to assist them to assess your credit worthiness;
if you believe (on reasonable grounds) that you have been, or are likely to be a victim of fraud, you have a right to request credit reporting bodies not to use or disclose your credit reports they hold about you. You can do this by contacting them directly. If you make such a request, a credit reporting body will not disclose information about you for 21 days. You can request an extension to this period if you believe you are still, or still likely to be, a victim of fraud;
you may request that credit reporting bodies not use your credit reporting information for the purposes of pre-screening for direct marketing by a credit provider;
the credit reporting body that we typically use is Equifax (contact details and privacy policy available at equifax.com.au).
