Any disclosure of your information is all for the primary purpose of providing our products and services.

In some circumstances, personal information is disclosed to third parties where this is related to the supply of our services, if eleXsys Group requires disclosures of this kind, you will be advised at the time you request to supply you with our services.

Personal information may be disclosed to third parties to whom eleXsys Group contract out specialised functions, such as data metering services, billing or account services providers, installation contractors, mailing houses and printing companies. If so, we take steps to ensure that those contractors comply with the Privacy Act, and are authorised only to use personal information in order to perform the functions required by the eleXsys Group program for which they have been engaged.

Note that if your information is transferred, eleXsys Group will take all the steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy and no transfer of your information will take place unless there are adequate controls in place.

We will retain your information for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this policy and we will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

eleXsys Group will also retain ‘usage data’ for internal analysis purposes (defined as data collected automatically either generated by the use of our services or from the service infrastructure itself -for example, the duration of a page visit). Usage Data is generally retained for a shorter period of time, except when this data is used to strengthen the security or to improve the functionality of our service, or we are legally obligated to retain this data for longer periods.

eleXsys may need to determine the credit standing of potential customers in connection with our products and services (for example, customers entering into a lease arrangement or power purchase agreement with Planet Ark Power or eleXsys Asset Management Pty Ltd) and, as a result, we may collect or obtain credit information and credit eligibility information about you as referred to in the Privacy Act.

Credit information relates primarily to your credit related dealings with us and covers various types of information that can be collected by Credit Reporting Bodies (CRBs) that report on consumer credit worthiness. eleXsys Group uses VEDA services to assess customer credit ratings.

Credit information includes:

  • Personal identification information
  • Basic information about your credit account (for example when it was opened)
  • Details about information requests we made about you to CRBs
  • Payment Information such as overdue payments, serious credit infringements and subsequent payment arrangements
  • Publicly available information like bankruptcy and credit-related court judgements

This information relates primarily to your dealings with other credit providers (for example, banks, other financial institutions, or other organisations that may provide you with credit in connection with their products or services). It may also include credit worthiness information that we derive from the data that we receive from a CRB and credit eligibility information about you from other credit providers.

We may disclose your credit information to CRBs. Those CRBs may then include that information in credit reporting information that they provide to other credit providers to assist them to assess your credit worthiness.

We may also use and disclose your credit information for other purposes and in other circumstances as and when permitted to do so by the Privacy Act. Our use and disclosure of credit eligibility information is regulated by Part IIIA of the Privacy Act and the Credit Reporting Privacy Code. We will only use or disclose such information for purposes permitted by these laws, such as:

  • processing applications for a lease or Power Purchase Agreement.
  • processing credit-related applications and managing credit that we provided
  • assisting you to avoid defaults.
  • collecting amounts you may owe us in relation to a credit arrangement or dealing with serious credit infringements.
  • assigning our debts.
  • participating in the credit reporting system.
  • dealing with complaints or regulatory matters relating to credit or credit reporting
  • as required or authorised by another law.

Under the Privacy Act, you have a right to seek access to information which we hold about you. You also have the right to ask us to correct information about you which is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

To provide you with access to your personal information, eleXsys Group will, on request, provide you with a print-out of the relevant personal information from our current databases, or with photocopies of records which are held only on current paper files.

If you wish to access or correct errors in any of your credit information or credit eligibility information that we hold, please contact us using the contact details at the end of this document.
