PRIVACYPOLICYAshington takes seriously its obligation to safeguard customer’s personal information. This Privacy Policy formalises Ashington’s commitment to the principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988, and covers all the entities within Ashington. Personal information generally means any information or opinion about an individual from which that person can be identified, or from which their identity can be reasonably ascertained. Ashington’s policy is to use or disclose personal information for the purpose which was specified or would have been reasonably apparent at the time the information was collected, or any other related purpose which a contact would reasonably expect it to be used. Should Ashington wish to use or disclose information in other circumstances it would obtain consent from the individual. Ashington does not sell personal information to external companies. We may however disclose personal information to companies who provide services to us in connection with our products and services. Where an individual is on Ashington’s marketing databases it may be reasonably assumed that the customer has consented to receiving communications from us. A customer may request that their details be removed from all or some of our marketing lists at any time via phone, email or fax. Ashington's records will then be amended within 30 days. Ashington will take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Customer information is held on secure servers or in secure storage areas on company premises. Ashington employees are required to maintain the confidentiality of any personal information held. Customers are welcome to request a copy of the personal information that Ashington holds about them, and can be obtained by contacting our Privacy Officer. Ashington will require personal identification prior to this information being supplied. Ashington will take reasonable steps to correct information about a customer where that information is not accurate, up to date or correct. If a customer wishes to change personal information, they may write to Ashington’s Privacy Officer. Ashington reserves the right to change this Privacy Policy at any time. Ashington will notify any changes by posting an updated version of the policy on this website.
