We are committed to protecting your privacy and Personal Information that we collect. This privacy policy sets out the way we collect and handle personal information and how we comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (" Privacy Act") and the Australian Privacy Principles (" APPs"). To the extent that TIG offers its goods and services to individuals in the European Union and the United Kingdom, or otherwise monitors the behaviour of individuals in the European Union and the United Kingdom, this privacy policy sets out how we comply with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (" GDPR").
For the purposes of the GDPR, TIG is both the "data controller" and a "data processor" of Personal Information and is responsible for how Personal Information is collected and used.

Computer and connection information such as statistics on your page views, traffic to and from sites, referral URL, ad data, your IP address, your browsing history, and your web log information.

Personal information collected from other sources
We supplement the personal information we collect directly from you with information collected from third parties. For example, we also collect information from and share information with our customers, partners and third party service providers, including freight carriers, payment providers, security providers and website hosting and cloud service providers.
If you give us personal information about someone else, you must do so only with that person's authorisation. You should inform them how we collect, use, disclose, and retain their personal information according to this privacy policy.
Why do we need your Personal Information?
We only collect or hold your Personal Information for legitimate purposes, including to provide you with our goods and services, for the proper administration of our Platform, to engage third party service providers (such as freight carriers, shipping carriers or other delivery service providers) to assist us with providing you with our goods and services, and to comply with our legal obligations to you.
In particular, we need your Personal Information to:
provide you with the goods and services we offer including to facilitate the shipping of freight via our platforms, sending shipping, delivery and parcel tracking alerts and processing payments for our goods and services;
maintain our business relationship with you by answering any questions or queries you may have about TIG, our goods and services (including the Platform), communicating with you about our goods and services, creating and updating our database(s) and other records, providing sales and support services to you and otherwise responding to your enquiries;

comply with the law including any contractual obligations we may have with you; and
exercise our legal rights including exercising rights we may have under law or a contract between us and you, or between us and a third party,
(together our " Required Purposes")
If you do not provide us with your Personal Information, we may not be able to carry out all of the Required Purposes or fulfil our obligations arising under the Required Purposes.
Can you remain anonymous or use a pseudonym?
Generally speaking, we do not allow you to use a pseudonym or to otherwise remain anonymous, as this is impractical for our business purposes.
We also note that if you do not provide us with some or all of the Personal Information we request, we may not be able to provide you with the relevant goods or services. This may also have an effect on whether we can begin or continue a relationship with you, and whether you can use or access our Platform.
What disclosures do we make?
Generally speaking (and as described above under the heading "Why do we need your Personal Information") we will disclose your Personal Information for our Required Purposes. We may also disclose your Personal Information with your consent, or where we are authorised or required to do so by law, or to our related entities, partners or service providers (including freight and shipping carriers, delivery service providers, website hosting and cloud service providers, payment processors, security service providers, and support service providers) in order to assist us to provide our products or services to you.
Some of our related entities, partners and service providers or the services they provide may be based outside of Australia(including in New Zealand, the United States, throughout Europe and Asia). By providing us with your Personal Information, you acknowledge that your Personal Information may be used, stored and disclosed overseas, including in jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent levels of data protection as your home jurisdiction. To protect your Personal Information we take care to work with entities, partners and service providers who are based in countries that provide adequate levels of data protection, or we otherwise take steps to ensure that your Personal Information receives adequate levels of data protection in the jurisdictions in which it is processed in accordance with all applicable privacy laws (including the GDPR).
Personal Information of minors
We do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Information from anyone under the age of 16 years of age or knowingly allow such persons to use our goods or services (including by registering an account on our Platform). If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a person under the age of 16 years without parental consent, we will take all reasonable steps to delete that information.
Do we use "cookies"?
When you visit our Platform, the server may attach a "cookie" to your computer's memory. A "cookie" assists us to store information about how you use our Platform and to make assumptions about what information may be of most interest to you. This information is generally not linked to your identity. We may use knowledge of your user experience to better understand what goods or services may be of interest to you and to collect statistical information.
Using other sites
Our Platform may contain links to other websites, platforms or applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of the owners of those websites, platforms, or applications. We recommend that you read the privacy policy of any website, platform, or application that asks you to provide your Personal Information.
Is your Personal Information confidential and secure?
We take all reasonable steps to keep your Personal Information secure and to ensure it is protected against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or inappropriate disclosure. We may keep your Personal Information in both hard copy and electronic forms, but adopt appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect it including by storing it in secure systems accessible only to authorised personnel.
We also urge you to take steps to keep your Personal Information safe, such as choosing a strong password and keeping it private, as well as logging out of your account on our Platform, and closing your web browser when you are finished using the Platform on a shared or unsecured device.

We welcome your enquires and comments and encourage you to contact us to update your Personal Information if it changes. You may contact us to confirm if we are processing your Personal Information and request a copy of it.

In some instances, you may request that we delete your Personal Information. In accordance with and subject to relevant privacy laws (including the GDPR), you may object to certain Personal Information being processed and request that processing of your Personal Information be limited. You may also limit or manage our communications with you by "unsubscribing" from certain email, newsletter and marketing updates, and by closing your account on our Platform.
If you choose to limit the Personal Information we process about you we may not be able to communicate with you or fulfil our Required Purposes outlined above. This may include limiting or ceasing your use of our Platform, or otherwise ceasing to provide you with our goods and services.
