How we collect personal information?
We collect personal information directly from you in a number of ways, including:

How we retain personal information?
We hold personal information in a number of ways, including in electronic databases, email contact lists, and in paper files held in drawers and cabinets, locked where appropriate. Paper files may also be archived in boxes and stored offsite in secure facilities. Our policy is to take responsible steps to:
- make sure that the personal information that we collect, use and disclose is accurate, up to date and complete (and in the case of use and disclosure) relevant; and
• protect the information that we hold from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
The steps we take to secure the personal information we hold include security (such as encryption, firewalls, anti-virus software, and login and password protection), secure office access, personnel security, and training and workplace policies.
You can also help to protect the privacy of your personal information by keeping passwords secret and by ensuring that you log out of the website when you have finished using it. In addition, if you become aware of a security breach, please let us know as soon as possible.
All personal information that has been collected will be kept for an indefinite period of time as reasonably necessary for our functions and activities unless and until you advise us otherwise, or for as long as required by applicable law.
About our websites, applications, IP addresses and cookies
Personal information provided to our Online Shop is encoded using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology, a powerful encryption protocol that protects data as it travels over the Internet. Credit card transactions are processed using the secure EFTPOS network. Our policy is to ensure that all transactions processed by us meet industry security standards to ensure payment details are protected.
Like many companies, we use ‘cookie’ technology on our website. ‘Cookies’ are small text files held by your internet browser that websites can use to improve the customer experience, for example by: recognising repeat users, storing registration data, and keeping and facilitating the user’s online preferences and use of the websites. Most browsers are set to accept cookies. If you prefer not to receive them, you can adjust your browser to reject cookies, or to notify you when they are being used. Rejecting cookies can, however, limit the functionality of our websites (such as preventing members from logging on and making purchases).
Our websites contain links to other webpages. We are not responsible for the privacy policy and contents of such webpages. We recommend you refer to the relevant webpages.
Visitors to our website can request to join a mailing list by completing a form on this site. We maintain this list of Motor Museum of WA members to inform them of new information on our websites. We do not sell, rent, lease, loan, trade or otherwise divulge the addresses on our lists to third parties or any unauthorised personnel. We comply with the Spam Act 2003 and best practice guidelines in relation to the contents of its commercial electronic messages.
If you are concerned about sending your information over the internet, you can contact us directly by the telephone or postal address below.
How we use personal information?
The personal information we collect is generally used to process your requests and transactions, to provide you with high quality service, to tell you about products we think will be of interest to you, to customise your experience on our site, and to understand your needs so that we may provide you with the most suitable products. Your personal and sensitive information will also be used if you submit an application for employment with us.
For example, we may use your personal information to help us:
• provide you with information about new products, or product release;
• send newsletters, informative emails, or other information which has the nature of business announcements;
• create content that is relevant to you;
• provide you with special offers that may be of interest to you;
• allow you to purchase products, obtain access to your membership;
• notify you about changes to our services or products;
• conduct surveys and market research for product and service improvement purposes, and to compile statistics and trends; and
• make decisions relating to your suitability for employment.
To help us carry out these activities and functions, on occasion, we may disclose personal information to other persons including:
• organisations that we engage to conduct research or analyse data;
• our professional advisors (i.e. auditors and lawyers); and
• government and regulatory authorities (as required or authorised by law).
We also use a range of service providers to assist us with the recruitment process. This means that individuals and organisations outside of The Motor Museum of WA will sometimes have access to personal information held by The Motor Museum of WA and may collect or use it from or on our behalf. This may include, but is not limited to, executive search, HR & recruitment providers, security clearance providers, medical practitioners and other independent contractors and consultants.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that these third parties are bound by privacy obligations in relation to your personal and sensitive information.
