Privacy Policy

Autobarn is committed to the protection of your personal information. Autobarn has developed its own privacy policy, which is based on the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988.

This Policy covers all personal information that we have collected over the internet through our website. It does not cover personal information that we may collect in other settings, like at our stores or over the telephone.

Collection

Autobarn will only collect personal information that is necessary for one or more of its functions or activities.

Autobarn will only collect personal information by lawful and fair means and will let you know where and how to contact us.

If it is reasonable and practicable to do so, Autobarn will collect personal information only from you.

Autobarn will not collect sensitive information about you unless you have consented to that collection or the collection is required by law.

Where you choose not to provide requested information, Autobarn will advise you of what impact that non-disclosure may have.
