How RRG collects personal information

Promotional Programs

One of the ways RRG collects personal information from you is if you participate in promotional programs

RRG will retain all information you provide when you apply to participate in a RRG promotional program.

Feedback

RRG also collects personal information from suggestions, nominations, comments or complaints that you may send to it (collectively “feedback”). RRG takes the view that your feedback is given to it in confidence and it will not reveal the contents of your feedback without your consent unless it is required or authorized to do so at law, or for the purpose of taking independent advice.

Surveys

From time to time, RRG may carry out surveys or questionnaires (collectively “survey”). Before collecting survey results, RRG will advise you of the purpose of the survey and whether it is mandatory or voluntary.

Website

When you browse RRG’s website, our service provider logs certain information for statistical purposes – your server address, top level domain (e.g. .com, .net, .au etc.), the date and time of your visit, the pages accessed, documents downloaded, the previous site visited and the type of browser used. RRG will not try to identify users or their browsing activities except, in the event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant to inspect the service provider’s logs.

Cookies are small pieces of information exchanged between your web browser and a website server. From time to time RRG may use cookies on its website to help carry out online surveys. Where RRG uses an external survey provider, that provider could use cookies on their website. If this is the case, you will be directed to information on the provider’s website explaining the use of cookies.

Why is this information necessary?

It is necessary for RRG to collect and keep this information about you so it can keep you informed of promotions and specials each week, offer you the benefits associated with RRG promotional programs, respond to your feedback and surveys, assesses and reassesses the granting or withdrawal of any credit account, process payments, enforce its rights (where necessary) and generally perform its business functions more efficiently.
