1.    Purpose and ScopeFUJIFILM Secure Messaging Services trading as Intelli Messaging (Fujifilm SMS, we, our, us) offers products and services related to short messaging (SMS) communications. 

We understand the importance of protecting the privacy of individuals and the rights of individuals in relation to their personal information. We also understand the importance of protecting personal information that we handle for our clients and their customers, as well as prospective customers, potential and existing employees and contractors with whom Fujifilm SMS interacts.  

This document sets out our policies for managing your personal information and is referred to as our Privacy Policy. This document also incorporates our Credit Reporting Privacy Policy which lets you know how we use any credit-related information that we may collect. In this Privacy Policy, “you” or “your” refers to any individual about whom we collect personal information.

We respect your rights to privacy under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) as amended from time to time. We are committed to complying with the requirements of the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act in all activities of Fujifilm SMS involving the collection, management, use, storage, disclosure and handling of personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by us, whether online or offline, including personal information collected or submitted through our websites, including https://intellisms.com.au/, through our Web Application (WebApp), as well as through emails and other correspondence with you.  

If you purchase your service from one of our resellers, or if you access our services through an account held by another party who is a direct customer of Fujifilm SMS (for example your employer’s account with us), our resellers and customers have their own privacy policies regarding the collection, use, handling, disclosure and processing of personal information of their end customer or users. We encourage you to read their privacy policies if you want to learn more how your personal data is handled by them.

In signing up to use and access our WebApp, you have been asked to indicate your agreement to the terms of our Privacy Policy. We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time and if at any stage you no longer agree with our practices explained in this Privacy Policy, you may cancel your service and cease using our products and services as set out in your agreement with us. 

2.   What is your Personal Information?When used in this Privacy Policy, the term “personal information” and “sensitive information” have the meaning given to them in the Privacy Act.

In general terms, personal information is any information that can be used to personally identify you. This may include your name, address, telephone number, email address, credit card details, account number and profession or occupation. If the information we collect personally identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information.

Sensitive information includes health, genetic and biometric information and any personal information about an individual’s race or ethnicity, political opinions or association, philosophical or religious beliefs or association, trade association or union membership, sexual orientation/practices or criminal record.  

3.   What personal information do we collect and hold?

The kinds of personal information that we collect and hold about you will depend on the circumstances in which it is being collected, including whether we collect the information from you as a customer or prospective customer, contractor, supplier, employee or prospective employee or in some other capacity.

The personal information we may collect and hold includes your name, age or birth date, employer, current and previous addresses, phone numbers, facsimile numbers, email addresses, profession, preferences for using our website, occupation, job title, payment information (such as payment card details which are processed via third party secure payment processing services), bank account information, insurance details, customer service issues or details of your credit worthiness and credit history.

Some of our main relationships and how we deal with data in these relationships are described below.  

Customers and prospective customers

If you are a customer of ours, we also collect:

  • details of the products or services you have purchased from us or which you have enquired about together with any additional information necessary to provide those products and services or to respond to your enquiries;
  • information about how you use our products and services (including the volume, time and duration of SMS messages you send or receive and information about the services and applications you use);
  • information you provide when you use our products or services, such as your name, email address, company name and password when you register for our WebApp;
  • any additional information relating to you that you provide us directly through our websites or indirectly through use of our websites or online presence, through our representative or otherwise;
  • information you provide us through customer surveys or visits by our representatives from time to time; and
  • any additional information that is provided by our customers about their customers or end users who use or interact with services that may integrate with our products and services. This information includes information we use to route messages and metadata about messages and it also includes the contents of communications that identify senders and may identify recipients.

Third party providers and business partners

When we do business with you, for example as you work for one of our third party providers, suppliers or other business partners, we maintain records which may include your personal information such as:

  • personal details such as your name, title, email address, postal address and other business contact details (such as your LinkedIn profile);
  • information about your employer or an organisation who you represent;
  • your professional details (such as your job title);
  • any additional personal information you provide to us, or authorise us to collect, as part of your interaction with Fujifilm SMS; and
  • other contact details regarding our interactions and transactions with you and the organisation you represent.

Prospective employees

We collect personal information when recruiting personnel, such as your name, title, date of birth, gender, contact details, qualifications and work history (including references and other information included in a CV or cover letter as part of the application process).

Before offering you a position, we may collect other information necessary, to conduct background checks to determine your suitability for certain positions.

If we do collect and/or hold sensitive information, we will only do so if you have given your consent and it is reasonably necessary for such purposes.

4.   How do we collect personal information?

We collect information about you when you provide it to us, when you use our products or services and when other parties provide it to us (with your consent), as further described below.

We collect your personal information directly from you unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so. When collecting personal information from you, we may collect in ways including:

  • from your access and use of our websites or websites hosted by us and/or the WebApp, including when you sign up for an account with us and through web forms where you type in information;
  • during conversations or other communications between you and our representatives;
  • through your use of telephone, mobile and electronic communication with us or our customers;
  • if you visit our premises, through surveillance cameras and/or fingerprint scanners located at our sites; or
  • when you or your organisation submit a document or data containing personal information (for example, emails, contact forms, order forms, application forms, credit applications, assets and liabilities statements, proof of identification, direct debit requests, agreements, statements of work, surveys, promotional forms, competition forms etc).

We collect information automatically when you use the Service, including browsing our website or taking certain actions within the WebApp. For more information about the types of data we collect in these circumstances and how we do so please see the section titled “Cookies and Tracking Technologies” below.

We may also collect personal information from third parties including:

  • from publicly available sources, such as LinkedIn and other professional websites;
  • from our customers; or
  • from our related entities and third party companies such as  our resellers and aggregators (who may be required to provide us information about you for conducting identity checks) and credit reporting bodies, law enforcement agencies and other government entities.

Some of the personal information we hold or deal with is not collected by us. As we are a communications service provider and provide SMS related services to our clients, some of the data and personal information provided to us by our reseller partners and aggregator partners has not been directly collected by us from the individual concerned. It is impracticable for us to collect information directly from you when we are acting as the “agent” or service provider of our client as our client has already collected the relevant information from you (or another third party).

In respect of personal information which is provided to us by our clients, we do seek client assurances that all such personal information has been collected lawfully and in compliance with the Act and any other applicable privacy and data protection laws. We will not be responsible for, and accept no liability in respect of, any failure by a client to do so.

5.   Purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information

We collect personal information about you so that we can perform our business activities and functions and to provide the best possible quality of customer service.

We may also use your personal information for the other purposes related to those described above which would be reasonably expected by you. When acting on behalf of the client, we use personal information as directed by the client.

We do not disclose personal information we obtain when acting on behalf of one client, to any other client, unless directed by the first client.

Fujifilm SMS sometimes handles personal information relying on exemptions under the Privacy Act, for example in relation to: (i) employee records; (ii) related bodies corporate; (iii) provision of services to State or Territory authorities; and (iv) operations outside Australia relating to personal information of non-Australians. Any permitted handling of personal information under such exemptions will take priority over this Privacy Policy to the extent of any inconsistency.

When you access our websites or our WebApp, we may send a “cookie” (which is a small summary file containing a unique ID number) to your computer. This enables us to recognise your device and  to allow you to access and use the services or WebApp without re-entering your username or password. Cookies may store your user preferences to our websites or WebApp. We also use cookies to measure traffic patterns, to determine which areas of our website have been visited and to measure transaction patterns in the aggregate.

We use web beacons to operate and improve our websites and email communications to you.

If you do not provide us with the personal information described above, some or all of the following may happen:

At any time you may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting us (see the details below) or by using opt-out facilities provided in the marketing communications and we will then ensure that your name is removed from our mailing list (or where we are using a mailing list provided by our client, we will pass your request on to our client).

We do not provide your personal information to other organisations for the purposes of direct marketing. However, where we are engaged by our clients to act on their behalf in collecting, holding or processing personal information, then we will pass that personal information on to our client, to our client’s other agents or to third party suppliers as directed by the client or to fulfil our obligations to our client.

9.    Accessing and correcting personal information

You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see the details below). Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by directing you to self-service features in our WebApp).

If we hold personal information on behalf of a third party (for example, on behalf of a client that  is using our communication products and services) then we may direct you to contact that third party for the purposes of accessing and correcting your information.  

There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal.

If you believe that personal information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment, then we will add a note to the personal information stating that you disagree with it.
