When ordering or registering on our website, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your:
- Name.
- Contact information including email address.

If you have any questions regarding our privacy and security policy, please contact us at privacy@paslode.com.au Processing of payments occurs using third party payment gateways and as such, your credit card information is never stored on our servers.

As a general rule, all personal information which ITW Australia collects from you will be stored in and remain at all times in Australia or New Zealand (if New Zealand, the information will be subject to New Zealand privacy legislation which is substantially similar to the protection afforded under Australian law).
It is possible that some limited personal information may on occasions be transmitted overseas in connection with development work, specifically to ensure our applications function across multiple jurisdictions.
Where the transfer occurs from Australia, ITW Australia retains responsibility for contractually ensuring that your information is handled by the development team in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles if the destination jurisdiction lacks privacy protection laws which are substantially similar to the Australian Privacy Principles.
Where the transfer occurs from New Zealand, ITW New Zealand will comply with any Transfer Prohibition Notice issued by the Privacy Commissioner and in any event ensure that your information is transferred by us and handled by the overseas recipient in a manner consistent with the Information Privacy Principles.
