Privacy Policy

TPS supports the protection of consumers' privacy rights as a fundamental element of our business. Both from the company and the employee level, we are committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security in the way we conduct our business. TPS and its associates pledge to conduct their business according to the following principles.

Privacy Practices at TPS

TPS recognises that consumers have rights over the use and dissemination of information about themselves. TPS adheres to the National Privacy Principles, which can be found at www.privacy.gov.au/publications/npps01.html. These form the basis of the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000, which controls the use of personal data.

TPS brokers and resells databases containing information on many of the businesses in Australia for companies to use in their marketing efforts. TPS only sells data that is privacy compliant.

TPS is careful to recognise any valid requests from individuals to suppress their names from our clients' marketing efforts and have sophisticated systems in place to ensure this suppression occurs. Consumers may request to opt out by writing to us at The Prospect Shop Pty Ltd, 357 Riley Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010.

TPS is fully compliant with the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act of 2000 of Australia, which can be viewed at privacy.gov.au/act/index.html. TPS also operates within the requirements of New Zealand privacy legislation.

TPS fully supports and conforms to the guidelines set down in the Australian Direct Marketing (ADMA) Code of Practice which can be found at http://www.adma.com.au/comply/code-of-practice/ TPS actively participates in ADMA's efforts to maintain and develop appropriate industry guidelines and regulations to safeguard the consumer's rights to privacy.

TPS supports industry self-regulation and believes such actions are the best way to protect the privacy of the consumer. TPS also supports legislation and regulatory efforts to introduce fair and workable guidelines that protect the privacy of the consumer and also allow the consumer to continue receiving the benefits that sophisticated marketing techniques provide. We encourage the application of ADMA's Do-Not-Mail and Do-Not-Call Suppression files.

TPS pledges to conduct our relationships with both customers and other information providers in an ethical and professional manner. TPS includes in our client and supplier contracts a commitment that any data sent to us has been legally obtained and that the client's subsequent use of any data received from us will be in compliance with all data protection laws, as well as with applicable industry information practices.

The management at TPS ensures that relevant information is disseminated in a timely way throughout the organisation. TPS uses a variety of resources to stay informed about developments in legislation and regulation and is an active member of the Australian Direct Marketing Association. We provide ongoing education to our employees on TPS privacy policy and procedures, as well as on the privacy legislation and accepted practices under which TPS operates. As changes in legislation or industry practices occur, special education is provided to update our employees. All new employees sign confidentiality agreements as a condition of employment with us.

TPS' business is to provide data to companies for use in marketing campaigns. TPS responds promptly to any question about the accuracy of information from our customers and the consumer.

TPS maintains strict security procedures to ensure that information will not be made available to any unauthorized person or business.
