Privacy Policy
By using our website at splitfast.com and associated social media platforms (‘Site’), you consent to this Privacy Policy.
Types of information collected
We may collect and hold personal information about you, that is, information that can identify you, and is relevant to providing you with the services or products you are seeking. This can include your name, date of birth, contact details (including address, email address, phone number), financial information (such as credit card or bank account numbers) and information about how you use our products and services.
This is not an exhaustive list. We may need to collect additional information about you from time to time to provide products or services to you.
You might also need to provide us with personal information about other individuals (e.g. your authorised representatives). If so, we rely on you to inform those individuals that you are providing their personal information to us and to advise them about this policy.
Purpose of collection
The type of personal information that we collect and hold about you depends on your interaction with us. Generally, we will collect, use and hold your personal information for the purposes of:
- providing products or services to you or someone else you know;
Method of collection
Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through your use of our SplitFast Timing application (‘Application’) and may be collected through your use of our Site or by email). We may also collect information other than directly from you where it is unreasonable or impractical to not do so, for example:
- from third parties such as our related entities, business partners, or your representatives;
- from publicly available sources of information;
- from our records of how you use our services; and
- from the third parties we list in the section of this policy with the heading ‘Use and disclosure’.
We will usually notify you in advance when we indirectly collect information, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.
If you choose not to provide certain information about you, we may not be able to provide you with the products or services you require, or the level of service on which we pride ourselves.
If the personal information you provide to us is incomplete or inaccurate, we may be unable to provide you, or someone else you know, with the products or services you, or they, are seeking.

Generally, we only use or disclose personal information about you for the purposes for which it was collected (as set out above) or for purposes which are directly related to one or more of our functions and activities. We may disclose personal information about you to:
- third party product or service providers, where required by law;
We are not likely to disclose your personal information overseas, except as permitted by the Privacy Act, unless we otherwise advise you in writing.
How we use your information for Direct Marketing
We may also use your information so that we, our related entities, and other business partners can promote and market products, services and special offers that we think will be of interest to you (which may include products, services and offers provided by a third party). This marketing may be carried out in a variety of ways (including by email, SMS/MMS, or social media) and may continue after you cease acquiring any products or services from us until you opt-out by contacting us using the contact details set out in the Contact section of this policy.
How we hold your personal information
The security of your personal information is of paramount importance to us. We store your personal information in different ways, including in paper and in electronic form.
Any bank or credit card details you provide and that we store will be encrypted, and any tax invoices we issue to you will not display your full bank or credit card details. The security of your personal information is important to us. We take all reasonable measures to ensure that your personal information is stored safely to protect it from misuse, loss, interference, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
If we no longer need your personal information for the purposes for which it was collected or for purposes which are directly related to one or more of our functions and activities, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy it or permanently remove all identifying features from that information. This obligation is subject to any legal requirement or Court order to retain the information.
Data breach notification
We accept our obligation to keep personal information safe. Should personal data systems be breached or data is misused or lost, then we will take all reasonable and practicable means to contact individuals whose personal information is involved. We will advise such individuals of the extent of the data breach (if known) and advise individuals of the most appropriate means of regaining control of their personal information. If appropriate, we will also report any eligible data breach to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in accordance with the Privacy Act.
How you can access your personal information
You may access the personal information we hold about you, upon making a written request. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period. We take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we hold, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date.
We may decline a request for access to personal information in circumstances prescribed by the Privacy Act, and if we do, we will give you a written notice that sets out the reasons for the refusal (unless it would be unreasonable to provide those reasons).
If, upon receiving access to your personal information or at any other time, you believe the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please notify us immediately. We will take reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date.
If we refuse to correct your personal information, we will give you a written notice that sets out our reasons for our refusal (unless it would be unreasonable to provide those reasons), including details of the mechanisms available to you to make a complaint.

When we disclose personal information in accordance with this privacy policy, it may be accessed from, transferred to, and/or stored outside the country in which you are located.
