Danoz Direct is bound by the Privacy Act and the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) set out in that Act.

We may revise this policy from time to time whatever necessary so check this website regularly to stay informed of any updates. If we make material changes to this policy, we will put a notice on the homepage.

Your continued use of our websites, placement of an order over the phone or in store, or the provision of personal information to us after this policy has been revised constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.

How personal information is collected

We collect most personal information directly from you. For example, your personal information will be collected when you place an order online, over the phone or when you visit us in person.

When placing an order with Danoz Direct we only collect information deemed necessary for processing the order you have requested.

Occasionally you may need to provide personal information about other individuals (e.g. when purchasing with someone else’s credit card details). If so, we rely on you to inform those individuals that you are providing their personal information to us and advise them that we can be contacted for further information.

How we use your personal information

We use your information for the purpose for which it was provided to us. This may include the following:

  • Processing any orders you place with us
  • Providing you with the assistance, products and/or services you have requested
  • Verify your identity. For example if a customer calls up in regards to a customer service issue our call centre agents are required to verify your identity by requesting you to state your address and the product you purchased. Furthermore, customers are required to sign upon delivery of goods by Australia Post, as such we collect your first and last name for these reasons
  • Providing you with an email confirmation of your order within 48 hours. This email states the product you have ordered, your order number as well as the delivery time frame
  • Processing any job application you may submit
  • Determining the number of visitors to our websites and conducting reviews of our websites
  • Keeping you informed about any changes to our websites as well as good and/or services
  • Sending you offers or information on products or services that we consider will be of interest to you (if you have consented to receiving such)
  • Unsubscribing your details from our databases
  • Used to assist in the delivery of your order to your door and verify your credit card payment. If you do not provide us with a residential address or PO Box we are unable to provide you with our service of delivering goods.
  • Responding to any complaints, enquiries and feedback
  • Administer and manage services, including charging, billing and collecting declined payments. For example, customers are able to call up to inquire about outstanding payments. We also send out dunning letters to customers for declined payments. As a courtesy we mail three payment reminder notices before sending a customer’s account details to Black Debt Collections. Each payment reminder notice is sent out every two weeks, allowing the customer to have six weeks to rectify the payment.
  • Conduct appropriate checks for fraud
  • Any other purposes identified at the time of collecting your Information
Also, your personal information is collected so that we, our related bodies and our dealers can promote and market services to you (including by way of direct mail, telemarketing, email and SMS). This is to keep you informed of products, services and special offers after you cease acquiring services from us. If you do not wish us, our related bodies or our dealers to contact you to promote and market products, services and special offers to you, please email danoz@danoz.com.au.

Disclosure to overseas third parties

Danoz Direct is likely to disclose some of your personal information, for the purposes described above, to organisations in other countries, namely Canada.

Canada may not have the same or substantially similar privacy laws as those set out in this privacy policy and the Australian Privacy Principles. We may not require organisations to which we disclose personal information in those countries to comply with similar privacy laws, and accordingly your personal information may not receive the same protections that it would in Australia. By providing your personal information to us, you consent to our disclosure of your personal information to organisations in those countries even though it may not receive the same protections that it would in Australia.

Credit card details


Danoz Direct does not store credit card details anywhere on our database. If a customer opts to process the payment of a product in a single amount their credit card details are destroyed as soon as the payment has been processed. If however a customer chooses to pay in instalments the company uses a token number and credit card details is not held by Danoz Direct.

The credit card details we hold are: the name on the card, expiry date and the masked version of the code.
