Except to the extent Sigma is not permitted to do so by law or where it is impractical to do so, we will give you the option of not identifying yourself or using a pseudonym. However, in most cases that may be impractical or Sigma may be required to collect your personal information in order to provide you with products or services. If Sigma cannot collect that information, Sigma may not be able to provide you with goods or services.
The kinds of personal information we collect and store will depend on what products and services you request from us. However, it may include (amongst other things):
• your name, address, date of birth, telephone numbers, e-mail address, and financial information (including credit card details or bank account numbers);

Credit Reporting Policy
1. Introduction
This Credit Reporting Policy relates to Sigma and to our Related Bodies Corporate that are deemed to be credit providers or affected information recipients for the purposes of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
We may provide credit as contemplated in the Privacy Act to our customers in connection with our products and services (for example, trade credit accounts), and, as a result, we may collect credit information and credit eligibility information about you as referred to in the Privacy Act. This Credit Reporting Policy sets out how we collect, manage, and disclose that information.
2. How we collect and hold credit information and credit eligibility information about you
Credit information relates primarily to your credit-related dealings with us and other credit providers and includes various types of information that can be collected by Credit Reporting Bodies (CRBs) that report on consumer creditworthiness. We may collect credit information directly from you or from third-party sources like CRBs.
Credit information includes:
• identification information (including for example your date of birth, your address, and driver’s license numbers);
• information about your credit account (for example when it was opened) and information about your liabilities including for example the type, character and limits of any credit provided to you;
• details of repayment history and credit applications;
• any assessment of your financial condition;
• details about information requests we make about you to CRBs;
• information about certain overdue payments, default listings and serious credit infringements and information about payments or subsequent arrangements in relation to either of these; and
• various publicly available information like bankruptcy and credit-related court judgments.
We may collect credit information about you in any of the circumstances relating to other personal information described in our Privacy Policy. We store and safeguard your credit information and credit eligibility information in the ways described in our Privacy Policy.
3. How we use and when we disclose your credit information and credit eligibility information
We may disclose your credit information to CRBs. Those CRBs may then include that information in credit reporting information that they provide to other credit providers to assist them in assessing your credit worthiness.
We may also use and disclose your credit information for other purposes and in other circumstances as described in our Privacy Policy, when permitted to do so by the Privacy Act.
Our use and disclosure of credit eligibility information is regulated by Part IIIA of the Privacy Act and the Credit Reporting Privacy Code. We will only use or disclose such information for purposes permitted by these laws, such as:
• processing credit-related applications and managing credit that we provide;
• assisting you to avoid defaults;
• collecting amounts you may owe us in relation to such credit and dealing with serious credit infringements;
• assigning our debts;
• Participating in the credit reporting system;
• Dealing with complaints or regulatory matters relating to credit or credit reporting; or
• when required or authorized by another law.
In some cases, the people to whom we may disclose your credit information or credit eligibility information may be based outside Australia – for more information please see the details in our Privacy Policy.
4. How to access or correct your credit information
If you wish to access or correct errors in any of your credit information or credit eligibility information that we hold, please contact us using the contact details in the ”How to contact us” section in our Privacy Policy.
We may apply an administrative charge for providing access to your credit eligibility information, depending on the request.
5. How to make a complaint regarding our compliance with Part IIIA of the Privacy Act and these Credit Reporting Privacy Terms
If you think that we have not complied with Part IIIA of the Privacy Act or with the Credit Reporting Privacy Code (which regulates credit reporting), you can make a complaint by using the contact details in the Privacy Policy.
We will acknowledge your complaint in writing as soon as practicable within 7 days. We will aim to investigate and resolve your complaint within 30 days of receiving it. If we need more time, we will notify you about the reasons for the delay and ask for your agreement to extend this 30 day period (if you do not agree, we may not be able to resolve your complaint).
We may need to consult with a CRB or another credit provider to investigate your complaint. While we hope that we will be able to resolve any complaint without needing to involve third parties, if you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint you can make a complaint to the Australian Information Commissioner (www.oaic.gov.au).
