Privacy Policy

My Home Real Estate acknowledges and respects the privacy of individuals. This policy sets out the way in which we will use, manage and protect your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988(Cth). Unless stated by you to the contrary, you acknowledge and consent to the use or disclosure of your personal information including your name, address, email address and other information you provide to us, in circumstances that are:

set out in the Privacy Policy; or

permitted under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

This privacy statement applies to this web site which is owned and operated by My Home Real Estate. And this Privacy Policy should be reviewed periodically so that you are updated on any changes.

Collection of information:

The purpose of personal information that we collect from you will depend on how you interact with My Home Real Estate's web site. We may collect personal information from you including your name, address, telephone number and email address, when you knowingly provide us with information such as when you visit our Website and register your needs, attend at or enquire about properties we have for sale or for lease, enter into a competition or promotion, transact through our franchisees, participate in a survey including ‘after sales service’ follow-up.

How we use the information we collect:

Personal information that visitors submit to our sites is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted unless we disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. Copies of correspondence sent from the web site, that may contain personal information, are stored as archives for record-keeping and back-up purposes only. You should be aware that we, and those authorised may use your email address to contact you in the future. We will not sell or pass on your details to third parties.

Use of the information for a secondary purpose:

We may sometimes use the personal information we collect for a secondary purpose, that is, for use in a way different from the original reason for collection. We will only do this in the following circumstances:

where you have consented;

where the secondary purpose is directly related to the primary purpose, and you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose the information in such a way; or

where we are permitted or required by law, or it is in the interests of public safety to do so.

Correcting information:

You can also request that information about you be corrected or deleted. This is part of our commitment to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the information we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

Security:

Any personal information that is submitted to our web site is held with the strictest confidence. This information is securely stored and access is restricted to authorised My Home Real Estate personnel only, ensuring that your personal information is protected and safeguarded.

We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information submitted to our site. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.

However, we will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information you may transmit to us or from our online products and services. Once we do receive your transmission, we will also make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.

In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us. However, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.
