Privacy Policy
This policy details how Harvey Technology Pty Ltd ACN 057 929 754 (Pioneer Campers) manages Personal Information about you and how you can contact us with your privacy queries.
Pioneer Campers recognises the importance of your privacy and understands your concerns about the security of the Personal Information you provide to us. When we handle your Personal Information, we will comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), which detail how Personal Information is collected, used, disclosed, stored and destroyed and how an individual may gain access to Personal Information held about them.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable (Personal Information).
“Sensitive Information”, a sub-set of Personal Information, is information or an opinion about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, political association membership, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, professional or trade association membership, trade union membership, sexual orientation or practices or criminal record, and includes health information and genetic information (Sensitive Information). Generally, we do not collect sensitive information. However, we may collect sensitive information from you or about you where there is a legal requirement to do so, or where we are otherwise permitted by law.
In the course of doing business, we endeavour to collect business information only. However, the collection of Personal Information in some instances is necessary or unavoidable.
Collecting Personal Information about you
The kinds of Personal Information we collect from you or about you depend on the transaction you have entered into with us, the goods and services you have contracted us to provide, and the goods and services you are interested in, and may commonly include your name, address, phone and mobile numbers, email address, vehicle details, and bank account or credit card payment details.
We aim to collect Personal Information only directly from you, unless it is unreasonable or impracticable for us to do so. For example, we collect Personal Information from you when you visit the Pioneer Campers website, complete an online registration or make a purchase. We may also collect Personal Information from you in other circumstances such as through our website’s “chat with us” function, other correspondence that you may submit to us, any telephone calls and meetings you may have with us and your activity on our website and social media platforms.
You can be anonymous or use a pseudonym when dealing with us, unless the use of your true identity is a legal requirement, or it is impracticable for us to deal with you on such basis.
Why we collect, hold, use and disclose Personal Information
We collect, hold, use and disclose Personal Information from you or about you where it is reasonably necessary for us to carry out our business functions, activities and services and to provide our goods and services to you.
If we do not collect, hold, use or disclose your Personal Information, or if you do not consent, then we may not be able to answer your enquiry, complete the transaction you have entered into, or provide the goods and services that you have contracted us to provide.
We also collect, hold, use and disclose your Personal Information for related purposes that you would reasonably expect, such as our administrative and accounting functions, record keeping, fraud checks, providing you with information about other goods and services offered by us, providing you with information about new product launches, marketing and promotions, market research, newsletter communications, customer feedback and quality assurance surveys, statistical collation, social media analysis and website traffic analysis.
Where we use your Personal Information for marketing and promotional purposes, you can opt out at any time by notifying us. Opt out procedures are also included in our marketing communications.
We may also disclose your Personal Information to third parties (including government departments and enforcement bodies) where required or permitted by law. Additionally, we may disclose your Personal Information to third parties engaged by Pioneer Campers in order to provide functions on our behalf, such as mail-outs, marketing research, advertising and the conduct of trade promotions and other competitions.
We may also disclose your Personal Information for other purposes where we have sought your consent or as is otherwise allowed by law.

We have procedures in place for dealing with and responding to requests for access to, and correction of, the Personal Information held about you. In most cases, we expect that we will be able to comply with your request. However, if we do not agree to provide you access or to correct the information as requested, we will give you written reasons why.
