To achieve this, we aim to make efficient use of the personal information we collect from our guests.  We also want our guests to have confidence that in handling personal information, we afford that information an appropriate level of privacy, consistent with the National Privacy Principles.

This statement sets out our policy for dealing with your personal information in order for you to understand how we collect, use, communicate, disclose and make use of personal information.

We will collect and use personal information solely with the objective of fulfilling those purposes specified in the Collection Statement, unless we obtain the consent of the individual concerned or as required by law.

Personal information will be retained for the fulfilment of those purposes.

We will collect personal information by lawful and fair means and, where appropriate, with the knowledge or consent of the individual concerned.

Personal data should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.

We will protect personal information by reasonable security safeguards against loss or theft, as well as unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use or modification.

We will make readily available to guests information about our policies and practices relating to the management of personal information.

We are committed to conducting our business in accordance with these principles in order to ensure that the confidentiality of personal information is protected and maintained.

Your personal information may be shared between NTT, Toyota Motor Corporation Australia Limited and other companies in the Toyota group such as Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota Australia’s Japanese parent company), Toyota Finance Australia Limited, Toyota W.A. Distributor, Toyota Australia’s contractors and agents and NTT’s contractors and agents (such as information technology providers, customer service centre providers, mailing houses and printers, and organisations that assist Toyota Australia and/or NTT to conduct promotions and market research) for the purposes outlined in this privacy collection statement. Some of Toyota Australia’s and/or NTT’s contractors, agents and companies are located overseas, including in Japan, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden, and as a result your personal information may be disclosed overseas.

How does NTT collect personal information?

Where possible, NTT  will collect your personal information directly from you. This may take place in a number of ways, such as when you give us a written order or ask us to provide a product or service over the telephone,  internet or in person.

Our website may also offer interactive facilities, such as customer enquiry or comment forms and competition entry forms, where personal information may be collected. In addition, we may obtain personal information from third parties such as our dealers and distributors, contractors and regulatory authorities.

Regardless of who provides personal information to us, it will always be handled by NTT  in accordance with this privacy policy and the National Privacy Principles.

Do we disclose personal information to anyone else?

In providing you with a product or service, we may sometimes need to disclose your personal information to others in order to achieve the purposes set out above (see “What is personal information used for”, above). It is generally our policy not to disclose information to external organisations, however, examples of the types of organisations we may need to disclose information to in the course of providing a product or service are:

  • related bodies corporate
  • Toyota WA and Toyota Australia
  • parts suppliers
  • insurers and financiers
  • a person outside NTT who is contracted to us to provide a particular service on our behalf.

Some examples of the kinds of organisations with which we contract are

  • mailing houses for bulk mailing of letters and notices;
  • printers for marketing material; and
  • accountants, lawyers and other service providers.

Those contracted parties are not authorised by us to use personal information for anything other than the purpose for which we supplied that information to them.

Sometimes, the law requires us to disclose personal information. For example, information may be disclosed to a court in response to a subpoena or to a Government agency such as a vehicle licensing authority or the Australian Taxation Office.

We may also disclose personal information where the individual consents to us doing so. That consent may be written, verbal or implied from your conduct.

Using your information for marketing

From time to time, we may use personal information to inform our guests about our products and services, or about special offers and promotions that we think may be of interest to you. You are able to opt-out of any direct marketing communications by responding with opt-out or by sending an opt-out request through our contact form and we will remove your details from our direct marketing database.

NTT does not disclose personal information to outside organisations for the purposes of allowing them to direct market their products. However, we may join other business associates of Toyota in joint marketing of our respective products and services to customers.

If the law requires us to provide you with information about our products or services, we will provide that information even if you have elected not to receive information about our products and services generally.

Ensuring personal information is up-to-date

We rely on the personal information we hold in conducting our business. Therefore, it is very important that the information we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date.

We do everything we can to ensure that the personal information we hold is accurate complete and up-to-date whenever we collect or use it. This means that from time to time, we will ask you to tell us if there are any changes to your personal information. If you find that information we hold about you is incorrect, please contact us immediately and we will correct it.  If you think that the personal information that we hold about you may be incorrect or out of date, please contact us by calling +61 8 9472 2600 and asking for the Guest Relations Manager who will arrange for the correction of the information. 

Security of personal information

Security of personal information is important to us and we take all reasonable precautions to protect personal information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Some of the ways we protect personal information include:

  • external and internal premises security;
  • restricting access to personal information only to staff who need it to perform their day to day functions;
  • maintaining technology products to prevent unauthorised computer access or damage to electronically stored information, such as requiring identifiers and passwords, firewalls and anti-virus software; and 
  • maintaining physical security over paper records.

Access to personal information by individuals

You can access most of the personal information we hold about you by contacting us by calling +61 8 9472 2600 and asking for the Guest Relations Manager. We may charge an access fee to cover the reasonable cost of retrieving the information and supplying it to you.

Access to personal information may be refused in a number of circumstances, such as where the information relates to anticipated legal proceedings or the request for access is frivolous or vexatious. If we deny or restrict your access, we will explain why.

If you send us an email

If you send us an email containing personal information, we will take reasonable steps to ensure the confidentiality of that information. The content of emails is sometimes monitored by our Internet Host for maintenance and fault detection purposes. We may also monitor email for legal compliance purposes. E-mails may also be sent to Toyota Motor Corporation Australia or our contractors when they relate to product or service enquiries or complaints. They also treat the information confidentially, but do record it in our in-house database.


Although we take steps to protect information sent by e-mail, e-mail is not a secure method of communication and if you are concerned about sending your personal information to us in this manner you may prefer to contact us by any of the other means set out below.
