Who we share your data with
We may disclose your personal information to others with whom we have business arrangements for the purpose listed in the paragraph above or to enable them to offer their products and services to you. These parties may include car dealerships, intermediaries, finance organisations, related companies, our advisers, persons involved in vehicle supply, parties that we have an agreement in place with under which you purchased your vehicle (such as a financier or motor vehicle manufacturer and/or dealer). Disclosure may also be made to government, law enforcement, dispute resolution, statutory or regulatory bodies, or as required by law.
Your personal information may be disclosed to other companies in the Car Hero Plus Group, business partners and service providers that may be located in Australia or overseas. The countries this information may be disclosed to will vary from time to time, but may include any other countries where the Car Hero Plus Group has presence or engages subcontractors. We regularly review the security of our systems used for sending personal information overseas. Any information disclosed may only be used for the purposes of collection detailed above and system administration.
How long we retain your data

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
You may ask for access to the personal information we hold about you (where such access is possible without compromising the privacy of others) and seek correction by calling 1300 28 28 21, EST 8.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday or emailing info@carheroplus.com.au using the title – Privacy Policy Service.

What data breach procedures we have in place
In the unlikely event of a data breach, you will be immediately notified of the breach and we will take immediate steps to determine the source of the breach and what, if any, information has been the subject of the breach.
