1. We protect your privacy and personal information
WATTever is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 which regulates how we collect, use, disclose and store personal information, and how individuals access and correct their personal information held by us. WATTever also complies with the Spam Act 2003.
2. What personal information do we collect?
We collect personal information about you so that we can provide comparisons and inform you about relevant products, services and benefits. Information collected may include your name, email and details about your use of electricity and energy. We do not ask you to provide a phone number to use our Comparison service. Where you request a partner retailer to contact you by phone and you provide your phone number for this purpose; or you request a quote for solar or battery, then you give consent to be contacted by telephone on that number by your selected partner retailer. If we receive your personal information from third parties, we will protect it as set out in this Privacy Policy.
You do not have to provide us with any personal information, however, if you don’t, it may affect your ability to use our website or to access any products, services, promotions or benefits offered through it.
3. How do we use personal information?
WATTever does not sell personal information to third parties.
WATTever uses personal information for the following purposes;
- contacting and communicating with customers about energy comparisons and relevant energy saving opportunities,
- supporting referral to partner products and services (such as signing up to an energy retailer that you explicitly choose or requesting a quote for solar and battery),
- for internal record keeping.
By providing information to WATTever you acknowledge that WATTever may use your electricity profile data in a non-identifiable and aggregated manner for research purposes to promote competition through ranking tables. Personal information such as email addresses are removed before data is aggregated and analysed. Aggregated data contains no individually identifying personal information.
4. Disclosure of personal information
We may disclose personal information where you choose to enquire or signup for our partners products and services, and if required by law. Where we disclose your personal information to third parties for these purposes, we will request that the third party undertake to protect the privacy of your personal information.
5. Access to and correction of personal information
Access: You may request details of personal information that we hold about you as set out in the Privacy Act 1988. An administrative fee may be payable for the provision of information. We may refuse to provide you with information that we hold about you, in certain circumstances set out in the Privacy Act.
Correction: If you believe that any information we hold on you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, please contact us by email. We rely in part upon customers advising us when their personal information changes. We will respond to any request within a reasonable time. We will endeavour to promptly correct any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
