2.  What kinds of personal information do we collect and hold?

During the account application process, we may require and collect certain security information from you, such as Driver’s License, Passport Number, Challenge Question and Answer. We will use this information to confirm your identification if you are unable to provide your password.

The personal information we collect and hold is that which is reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities. When we collect and hold personal information, it is of the following kinds:

• your personal details such as your name, addresses, telephone numbers, age and gender;

• your customer reference number or loyalty card number;

• whether you have taken up some of our other offerings, such as membership of our clubs and loyalty programs and our mobile applications;

• any rewards and redemption details applicable to your membership of our loyalty programs;

• whether you have a connection with others whose personal information we may collect or hold, for example family members who may be linked to your loyalty program membership;

• what, how and when you buy from us or have expressed an interest in buying from us; and

• your stated or likely preferences, for example whether you may be interested in particular products or promotions.

Depending on the nature of your dealings with us, we may collect and hold other types of personal information. For example, information collected and held via our secure financial systems about the debit or credit card you might use for your purchases from us.

You generally have the option of not identifying yourself or of using a pseudonym when dealing with us. However, it is not possible for you to do so where this is impractical (for example when you shop online with us) or where the law or a court order provides otherwise

 

3. how do we collect and hold personal information?

Collection of personal information: When we collect personal information about you, we do so by making a record of it. We do this when:

• you register with us, for example to create an account, to become a member of one of our clubs or loyalty programs or to send you information;

• you communicate with us online;

• you take part in our promotions, competitions, testimonials, surveys and focus groups; and

• you deal with us in other ways involving a need for personal information to be provided such as when you make a lay-by, contact one of our call centres or bring a claim against us.

We may also collect personal information about you by accessing data from other sources and then analysing that data together with the information we already hold about you in order to learn more about your likely preferences and interests.
