AYKA takes its privacy obligations very seriously and wishes to ensure you that your personal information is dealt with in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended by the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012) (Cth) (“PRIVACY ACT”), the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act (“APP’S”) and this privacy policy.

This policy also includes our policy on the handling of credit reports and other credit-related information.
We update our privacy policy periodically and encourage you to check our website regularly for any updates. A hardcopy of our privacy policy is also available upon request.
AYKA is a company which carries on businesses in Australia under one single trading name
We acknowledge that we must take reasonable steps when handling personal information, and we will endeavour to follow this policy on each occasion, and have taken reasonable steps to comply with the APP’s and the Act, some examples are noted below.
Personal information
For the purposes of the Act and this policy, “personal information” means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.
Whenever it is reasonable and practicable to do so, we collect personal information about you directly from you. In some cases, your personal information may be provided to us by third parties such as business associates or agents. If you are asked to provide information about others it is your responsibility to ensure that you have their consent or are otherwise entitled to provide this information to us.
We may also collect personal information that we request from you regarding your use of our services or that we collect automatically from your visits to our websites.
It is your responsibility to provide us with current and accurate personal information so that we can provide our services to you.
Some examples of personal information that we might collect include:
Sensitive information
For the purposes of the Act and this policy, “sensitive information” means a type of personal information which includes information about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin; health information; political opinions; membership of a political, professional or trade association or trade union; religious beliefs or affiliations; philosophical beliefs; sexual orientation or practices; and criminal record.
AYKA will not collect sensitive information except when the individual client has consented, it is required by law, or in other special specified circumstances, for example relating to individual or public health or safety.
Anonymous information
If you or your organisation prefers, it may remain anonymous to the extent that the name of the organisation need not be provided to us or in being provided it is marked in a way that indicates that you prefer not to be personally identified. However, all data necessary for contractual relations to exist in real time must be provided if we are to be able to fully supply you with our services.
In circumstances where we are required to do so, or are authorised by law, a court or tribunal to ask for your identification, we will request your personal information.
Further it is likely that it will be impractical for us to interact with you without some form of identification, and therefore we may request identification details from you at the beginning of each transaction. For example, we will not be able to prepare a solar panel installation quote for you without obtaining identification details.

We will also endeavour to ensure that our service providers have protection for electronic IT systems and other necessary restrictions.
We will endeavour to ensure our staff are trained with respect to the security of the personal information we hold and we will restrict any access where necessary.
