Dart West Developments has developed the following Privacy Policy to ensure that any data collected and stored by or on behalf of Dart West Developments and related entities is done so in a responsible manner. Dart West's commitment to its Privacy Policy ensures that individuals are made aware of when information about them is being collected, the purpose for which it is being collected, whether the information may be passed on to third parties and the identity of those parties and the rights of individuals to have some control over the way any information about them is handled and maintained.
Each employee of Dart West Developments and any external consultants engaged by Dart West are expected to adhere to our privacy policy. Those employees and consultants who have access to customer information will have copies of our Privacy Policy and the contact details of Dart West Developments' Privacy Officer.
We collect information in order to promote the projects of Dart West Developments and to improve Dart West Developments' services and commitment to open communication.
Because we strongly advocate the protection of all individuals' details and personal information, we believe that the adoption and implementation of our Privacy Policy represents good business practice and will assist us in serving the interests of our members, residents, customers and the wider community.
This Privacy Policy guides our conduct in the collection, use, release and security of customer information.
The following Privacy Policy has been developed to adhere to the National Privacy Principles outlined in the Act.

We only collect customer information that is needed, and we inform customers how we use it. Most of the personal information we hold has been provided directly to us by our customers for a specific purpose. We limit the collection of information about our customers to information which is required to provide our services, answer their queries, to provide better information, to offer new updates on aspects of our development, and to fulfill any legal and regulatory requirements. We inform our customers about the general uses of information we collect about them, and provide additional explanation if customers request it.
If you are only browsing our Internet site, we do not collect personal information -such as your name, address, phone number or E-mail address . However, technology allows us to identify your movements, providing us with constructive feedback about our site so that we can identify the most effective areas and improve the less popular ones. This is done via what is more commonly referred to as "cookies", which are files that track the Internet pages you have visited but which, by themselves, cannot be used to find out the identity of any user. The only personal information cookies contain, is information you provide yourself.
Dart West Developments does not require or collect information about a person that is considered sensitive under the Act. Such information includes a person's political, social or religious beliefs or affiliations; race, ethnic origin or national origins; sexual preferences or practices; health or medical information; lifestyle, character or reputation.
We use personal information primarily for the purpose for which it was collected. Because most of our information is collected from you daily, you will normally be aware of the purpose of the collection.
We extend these privacy principles to our business relationships.
In some cases, we contract with other companies to perform services for us, which may involve the use of your personal information. We provide these bodies only with such information about you as they need to perform their services. We require the companies we select as our business partners to honour our privacy principles in the handling of customer information. Also, they are legally obliged to use information about you only to perform the services we have contracted them to provide. In selecting business partners, Dart West Developments looks at how these businesses support and administer strong and effective privacy guidelines and practices.
If you would like to register for information via our Internet site, we will need you to provide us with some personal information, including your e-mail address. We only collect information about you, which is required to process your request, and also to satisfy any legal requirements.
If you are a registered user of aspects of Dart West Developments website, we will use the online and offline information we have about you as a Dart West Developments registrant, as well as information lawfully available from other organisations, to provide information and services as required in our normal course of business.
We ensure that customer data is processed promptly, accurately and completely.
If you consent to our collecting, storing and using certain personal information, we will retain your personal information for a reasonable period of time.
Part of our commitment to the quality and accuracy of any personal information we store, is reflected in the fact that you have the opportunity to access your personal information in order to verify that it is up to date. You can contact our Privacy Officer at any time if you would like details of any personal information we may hold about you or if you would like us to correct it. Depending on the nature of your request, we may ask you to complete a personal data access form, and to provide adequate proof of identification.
We reserve our right to refuse your request for access or correction if, for example, we consider your request to be frivolous or vexatious, or if we are legally entitled to do so. If we refuse your request, we will give you our reasons. If we refuse your request to correct information we hold about you, we will give you the opportunity to post a statement of your claim where we hold your personal information.
We use information security safeguards.
Access to customer data is limited to those employees of Dart West Developments who specifically need it to carry out their business responsibilities. This extends to protecting personal information from misuse and loss, as well as from modification and disclosure.
