This Privacy Policy describes how Warrnambool Dairy Foods ("the company", "we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and protects information gathered through our online platform, including our site and services accessible via it. We are committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who use our service.
We collect information to provide and improve our services, communicate with you, and operate our business. The types of information we may collect include:
Information you provide directly: This includes information you give us when you contact us, request information about our products or services, apply for a position, or interact with our online platform. This might include your name, contact details (such as physical address), company affiliation, and details about your inquiry or request.
Information collected automatically: When you visit our site, we may automatically collect certain information from your device, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, information about your activity on our site, and other technical information. This is primarily done through cookies and similar technologies.
We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:
To provide, operate, and maintain our online platform and services.
To respond to your inquiries and requests for information.
To communicate with you, including providing updates or information relevant to our services (where you have requested this).

For our business operations, such as analytics, research, and development of new products and services.

To manage job applications and recruitment processes.
We will only process your personal information where we have a lawful basis to do so, such as when you have given consent, processing is necessary for a contract, processing is necessary for our legitimate interests (provided these are not overridden by your rights), or processing is necessary for legal compliance.
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:
With service providers: We may share information with third-party vendors, consultants, and other service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as website hosting, data analysis, and customer service. These third parties are required to protect your information.
For legal reasons: We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights or property, prevent fraud or illegal activity, or protect the personal safety of users or the public.
Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
With your consent: We may share your information with your consent or at your direction.
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.
Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to:
Access your personal information.
Request correction of inaccurate personal information.
Request erasure of your personal information.
Request restriction of processing of your personal information.
Object to the processing of your personal information.
Request data portability (where applicable).
To exercise these rights, please contact us in writing using the physical address provided below. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law. We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal information (or to exercise any of your other rights). This is a security measure to ensure that personal information is not disclosed to any person who has no right to receive it.
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the personal information we collect and process. However, please be aware that no security system is completely impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
