Please read our Privacy Policy below carefully.

This Privacy Policy explains how we manage the personal information that we collect, use, disclose and store.

What is Personal Information?

When we refer to “personal information”, we mean information or an opinion about you, from which you are, or may be, reasonably identified. Examples of personal information may include (but are not limited to) your name, date of birth, phone number, email address and address.

Sensitive information includes, for example, information or an opinion about an individual’s health, racial or ethnic origin, criminal record or membership of a professional association, trade association or trade union.

Personal Information We Collect

The personal information we collect depends on the nature of our relationship with you. For example:

If you are a key contact of a Mutinex customer, we may collect, for example, your name, business name, job title and work contact details including address, phone number and email address.

If you apply for a job with us or are an employee, we may collect, for example, your full name, contact details (including address, phone number and email address), job title, passport details, employment history and education details, names and contact details of referees, next of kin details (in the event of an emergency) and superannuation fund and Tax File Number details, if required by law, for example, under the Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act, the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act, the Income Tax Assessment Acts and Taxation Administration Act.
