We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this privacy policy (“Policy”). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide (“Personal Information”) on the autobuddy.com.au website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”), and our practices for collecting, using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal Information.

This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you (“User”, “you”, or “your”) and BPM Digital Pty Ltd (“BPM Digital Pty Ltd”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). If you are entering into this Policy on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this Policy. By accessing and using the Website and Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this Policy.

1. Collection of Personal Information

You can access and use the Website and Services without telling us who you are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a specific individual. However, when you wish to use certain features or request services, you may be asked to provide certain Personal Information such as:

  • Contact information (e.g., email address, phone number, etc.)
  • Basic personal details (e.g., name, country of residence, etc.)
  • Business information (e.g., ABN, company name, type of business, etc.)
  • Geolocation data (e.g., device latitude and longitude)

You can choose not to provide Personal Information, but some features or services may not be available as a result.

2. Use and Processing of Collected Information

We may collect and process your Personal Information for the following purposes:

  • To deliver and manage products or services you request
  • To provide customer support and respond to inquiries
  • To process finance applications or related services
  • To deliver targeted advertising or promotional offers
  • To send relevant partner offers related to motoring, business, or finance (with your consent)
  • To comply with legal obligations
  • To analyse usage trends and improve user experience

We may process your information under one or more of the following legal bases:

  • You have given your consent for one or more specific purposes;
  • Processing is necessary to perform a contract with you or take pre-contractual steps;
  • Processing is necessary to comply with legal obligations;
  • Processing is necessary for legitimate business interests pursued by us or our trusted partners.

You may withdraw consent or object to processing at any time.

3. Disclosure of Information

We may share your information with:

  • Our subsidiaries, contractors, and service providers who assist in delivering our Services;
  • Trusted commercial partners whose products or services may be relevant to you (for example, providers of fuel cards, vehicle services, insurance, or related financial products);
  • Professional advisers, auditors, and legal representatives;
  • Government or regulatory bodies where required by law.

Any sharing with trusted partners will be limited to relevant and lawful purposes, and only where you have provided consent or where permitted by applicable law. All partners must agree to handle your data in compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and applicable privacy laws.

We do not sell personally identifiable information. However, we may sell, license, or otherwise commercialise aggregated or anonymised data that cannot reasonably be used to identify an individual. This may include de-identified insights such as industry trends, business activity patterns, or general demographic data.

When we share or sell aggregated or anonymised data, it does not include information that can reasonably identify any individual or small business.

4. Retention of Information

We retain Personal Information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy, including legal, accounting, or reporting obligations. Typically, we retain information for up to 60 months unless required otherwise by law.

All Personal Information is stored and processed within Australia. If data is transferred internationally, we ensure that appropriate safeguards and contractual protections are in place to maintain compliance with privacy laws.

6. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance user experience, analyse trends, and deliver personalized content. You may modify your browser settings to refuse cookies, but this may affect functionality.

7. Partner Marketing and Promotions

From time to time, Autobuddy may work with selected partners to provide exclusive offers or promotions relevant to our customers (e.g., business fuel cards, insurance, or finance products).

We will only share your information with these partners if:

      1. You have opted in to receive offers from our partners; or
      2. It is otherwise permitted under applicable privacy laws.

Partners must handle your data securely and only use it for the agreed purpose.

8. Information Security

We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect your Personal Information. While we strive to maintain secure systems, no internet transmission can be guaranteed as fully secure.

9. Data Breach

In the event of a data breach, we will take immediate steps to investigate and mitigate the issue, notify affected individuals if required, and comply with all obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme in Australia.

10. Your Rights

You have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict the processing of your Personal Information. You may also withdraw consent or opt out of marketing communications at any time.

Requests can be made via our Data Access Request Form or by contacting us directly.
