The information we collect from you may include your identity and contact details, your history of deliveries and use of our products and services and details of enquiries or complaints you make, and if you are yourself a user of our route planning software or service the organisation you are affiliated with and software or service usage data.

You may refuse to use cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website.
We may also hold information about you if you are an employee, service provider or have applied to be one, or if you interact with the software we use to operate our business, including e.g. logging on to that software as a driver, or using that software to communicate with us on behalf of a customer.

We implement and maintain processes and security measures to protect personal information which we hold from misuse, interference or loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
These processes and systems include:
(A) the use of identity and access management technologies to control access to systems on which information is processed and stored; and

These recipients mainly provide software services to us, and include companies like Microsoft, ZenDesk and Twillio. Most of them will be headquartered in the US, although the servers they use to provide services to us might be located elsewhere. We do not (and usually practically cannot) require that those organisations agree to abide by the Privacy Act, and if they mishandle your personal information you will not have rights against us, and may not have rights against anyone, under the Privacy Act.

We will respond to your requests to access or correct personal information in a reasonable time and will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold about you remains accurate, up to date and complete.
