Why do we collect personal information?
We collect personal information about our customers, suppliers, contractors and other contacts to understand and meet their needs, to conduct our activities and meet legal obligations.
What personal information do we collect?
The types of personal information we may collect include contact information (such as your name, address, email address, fax and telephone number), information about your employer or the organisation that nominated you (if you are a committee member), your committee affiliations and any feedback that you provide to us about our products and services, our website, or other matters.
Scented Purpose also collects statistical information about visitors to our website. Generally, this information cannot be used to identify particular individuals but in some circumstances it may include a visitor’s internet protocol address, which could be linked to the individual.
This information may be collected by way of forms filled out by individuals (including via online forms), emails, telephone conversations, face-to-face meetings and interviews. Where necessary, we supplement the information we receive from you with information from third party sources, such as your employer or nominating organisation.
Sometimes our activities require us to collect sensitive information. For more details, see the section ‘Sensitive information is subject to greater restrictions’, below.
If you choose not to provide the information we need to fulfil your request for a specific product or service or to participate in Scented Purpose based activities, we may not be able to provide you with the requested product or service or may not be able to allow you to participate in our activities.
How might Scented Purpose use personal information?
We may use and disclose your personal information for the primary purpose of collection, or for reasonably expected secondary purposes which are related to the primary purpose, or for purposes to which you have consented, and in other circumstances authorised by the Privacy Act.
- Generally, Scented Purpose uses your personal information for the following purposes:
- To provide you with our products and services.
- To respond to your queries or feedback.
- To facilitate and enable our work in general.
- To send you any communications or publications in which we think you might be interested, or which you have requested.

Disclosure of personal information to other parties
Scented Purpose may disclose your personal information to third parties such as our colleagues, our professional advisers, our external service providers that provide services to us, our partners or your employer. Although we seek to engage external service providers who comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act, we do not accept responsibility for the misuse of personal information by these third parties.
