Colgate-Palmolive Pty Limited ("Colgate") respects your privacy as set forth in this Privacy Policy, which is part of this Agreement. Colgate is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ("the Privacy Act") and the Australian Privacy Principles ("APPs"). In the event of any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and the global Colgate-Palmolive Company Privacy Policy below, this Privacy Policy shall prevail.

The Privacy Act describes "personal information" as "information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:

(a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
(b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not."

The Privacy Act sets out the minimum standards for dealing with personal information in Australia. Colgate is committed to complying with the terms of the Privacy Act and to following the APPs where applicable.

We collect personal information only when it is voluntarily offered by you and it is reasonably necessary for the purposes of conducting our business. For example, during the course of our business we may collect:

  • your name, address, email address, contact numbers, age, date of birth, sex, demographic information, and details of your employment and employment history;
  • medical details (such as tooth sensitivity);
  • membership of a professional or trade association (such as the Australian Dental Association); and
  • religious or philosophical details if they are relevant to us responding to your enquiry or complaint.

If necessary, we may ask to you provide additional information from time to time.

We may collect this information from you via webpage, mail, email, telephone, text message, social media (such as Facebook), facsimile or in person. We may hold this information in our electronic or hard copy records or in those of our third party contractors or service providers.

The purposes for which we collect, use, disclose and hold personal information include (but are not limited to):

  • to respond to questions, comments and complaints about us and our products and services;
  • for marketing purposes including direct marketing (for example, to email newsletters);
  • for the purposes of trade promotions (for example, to contact winners of contests and promotions);
  • to conduct consumer surveys, market research and studies; and
  • for recruitment purposes.

Our site sometimes includes sweepstakes or other promotions that we are offering or are offering jointly with another company, and we may allow you to enter electronically in some cases. If that occurs, we will use the information you provide for the purpose of conducting the promotion (for example, to contact you if you have won) and with your consent, to offer you products and services of ours and our joint sweepstakes sponsors.

Where you "opt in" we may use your personal information to send you notifications about special offers, product news and other communications in the future.

If the requested information is not provided, we may not be able to address or deal with your communication with us in the way you expect. For example we may not be able to respond or deal with your enquiry, assess your application, enter your entry in a promotion, or send you requested information as applicable.

We may provide the personal information you provide to us to related companies, joint promoters of promotions and/or third parties such as service providers who assist us in operating this website or assist us to provide the information and/or services we are providing to you or who provide professional advice to us. These external service providers are under a duty to us to maintain the privacy of your information and we only disclose your personal information to them to the extent necessary for them to perform the services we have requested.

In certain circumstances, Colgate or a related company may be required by law to report personal information you provide to us.

Sharing this information in the ways described above may involve the transmission of personal information overseas. We may transfer your personal information overseas including to our parent company in the USA, to other Colgate-Palmolive companies worldwide, and where necessary to our service providers, including IT service providers and online database service providers in Canada and Brazil. Other countries may not have data protection laws similar to Australia. By submitting your personal information, you acknowledge and consent:

  • to the disclosure of your personal information in this way and to third parties located overseas; and
  • that Colgate-Palmolive will not be accountable under the Privacy Act for any breach of your privacy by a third party recipient of your personal information, located overseas; and
  • that you will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act against Colgate-Palmolive for any breach of your privacy by the third party recipient located overseas.

We maintain strict standards and procedures to prevent unauthorised access to your personal information and ensure correct use of information. We will use all reasonable endeavours to protect your personal information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Personal information will be de-identified or destroyed when no longer required by us.

You can access, update and correct personal information Colgate holds about you by contacting The Privacy Officer, Level 14, 345 George St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia or emailing: PrivacyOfficer_Australia@colpal.com and requesting a Personal Information Handling Form. We will allow you access unless we consider that there is a sound reason under the Privacy Act or other relevant law to withhold the information. If we refuse to provide you with access or correct the personal information held about you by us, we will provide written reasons for such refusal. We will take reasonable steps to provide you with access that meets both Colgate's needs and your needs. If Colgate and you disagree about whether the information is accurate, complete and up-to-date, you can request us to associate with the information a statement claiming that the information is not accurate, complete or up-to-date and we will take reasonable steps to do so.

Even if you don't submit a request, if we are satisfied that, having regard to the reasons for which we hold your personal information, that personal information is inaccurate, incomplete, out-of-date, irrelevant or misleading, we may take reasonable steps to correct that information.

Any non-personal information, communications and material you send to this site, by email or by other means are on a non-confidential basis. We are free to use and reproduce any such information freely, and for any purpose whatsoever. Specifically, we will be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such information for any purpose, including developing, manufacturing or marketing products. Any information you send to this site must be truthful, not violate the rights of others and be legal. 

Like many other companies, we use "cookie" technology, where our servers deposit special codes on a visitor's computer. This information helps us determine in the aggregate the total number of visitors to the site on an ongoing basis and the types of Internet browsers (e.g., Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer) and operating systems (e.g. Windows or MacIntosh) used by our visitors. This information is used to enhance your on-line visits. 

We may modify this policy at any time, in our sole discretion and all modifications will be effective immediately upon our posting of the modifications on this site. 

If you have any questions or complaints (including complaints that we have breached the APPs) regarding the way Colgate has handled your personal information, or you wish to access your personal information, please contact The Privacy Officer, Level 14, 345 George St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia or email: PrivacyOfficer_Australia@colpal.com and request a Personal Information Handling Form. Once the Privacy Officer has received your Personal Information Handling Form, the Privacy Officer will respond to your enquiry as promptly as possible. There are certain circumstances where access may be denied and if any of these circumstances apply, the Privacy Officer will notify you accordingly.

What is a cookie?

Cookies are small files of letters and numbers that are downloaded to your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. Cookies are then sent back to the originating website on each subsequent visit, or to another website that recognises that cookie.

Cookies are useful because they allow a website to recognise a user's device. Cookies do lots of different jobs, like letting you navigate between pages efficiently, remembering your preferences, and generally improving the user experience. They can also help to ensure that adverts you see online are more relevant to you and your interests. We use two broad categories of cookies:

  • First party cookies, served directly by us to your computer.
  • Third party cookies, served by a third party on our behalf. We use third party cookies to help us analyse our websites and their use, and to enable tailored advertising (as described below).

 

How does Colgate-Palmolive use cookies?

The table below summarises how we and third parties use cookies on our websites. Those uses include using cookies to:

  • customise and enhance your online experience; and
  • enable tailored Colgate-Palmolive and third-party advertising both on and off our websites.

 

What types of cookies do we use?

The types of cookies used on our websites can be classified into one of four categories, namely 'essential website cookies', 'functionality cookies', 'analytics cookies' and 'advertising cookies'. The following table gives you further information about each category, and the purposes of the cookies we set:

  • Essential website cookies (from Colgate-Palmolive): These cookies are essential to enable you to move around our websites and use their features.

We use this information to compile reports and to help us improve our websites, for example, by letting us know if users find any errors and by ensuring that users find what they are looking for easily.
  • Advertising cookies (including from Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Fabric): These cookies are used to collect data about the websites and individual pages that users visit both on and off our websites (which might indicate, for example, your interests and other attributes). They are typically used to deliver advertisements and other marketing communications more relevant to you and your interests. They are also used to limit the number of times you see an advertisement as well as to help measure the effectiveness of the advertising campaign. This information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers and our partners, who might use it with information about how you use other websites, including to identify shared interests and behaviours across groups of users who visit our (and other) websites

THIRD PARTY SERVICES

This Privacy Policy does not address, and we are not responsible for, the privacy, data, or other practices of any third parties, including any third party operating any website or service to which the Services link.  The inclusion of a link on the Services does not imply endorsement of the linked site or service by us or by our subsidiaries or affiliates.

OUR ADVERTISING

We use third-party advertising companies to serve advertisements regarding goods and services that may be of interest to you when you access and use the Services and other websites or online services.

Such advertisements are served based on your access to and use of our Services and other websites or online services on any of your devices, as well as on data received from third parties.

Unless otherwise indicated, the Services are not directed to minors as defined by applicable law.  For example, in the US, minors are individuals under the age of 13, and in the EEA, we honor Member State laws, and we do not knowingly collect Personal Data from minors.  If you provide us with Personal Data of minors, you represent that you have the appropriate authority to do so and that you can demonstrate such authority to us upon request.

JURISDICTION AND CROSS-BORDER TRANSFER

Your Personal Data may be stored and processed in any country where we have facilities or in which we engage service providers, and, by using the Services, you understand that your Personal Data will be transferred to countries outside of your country of residence, to business which may have data protection rules that are different from those of your country.  In certain circumstances, courts, law enforcement agencies, regulatory agencies, or security authorities in those other countries may be entitled to access your Personal Data.

Some of the non-EEA countries are recognized by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection according to EEA standards (the full list of these countries is available here.  For transfers from the EEA to countries not considered adequate by the European Commission, we have put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses adopted by the European Commission, to protect your Personal Data.  You may obtain a copy of these measures by clicking here.
