We will collect personally identifiable information from you when you knowingly provide it to us. For example, this may occur when you contact us via telephone, provide your contact details through our website, enter a competition/promotion/offer or otherwise make a request/enquiry. The types of personal information we may collect, includes, but is not limited to your full name, address, email address and phone number. We may also collect your information from other customers, such as your friends or family, if they request us to provide goods or services to you.

In terms of your personal information, we only collect information about individuals that is necessary for us to carry on our business functions. What information we collect depends upon the nature of our dealings with you.
