Privacy policy
DAI Post (“DAI Post”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). This Privacy Policy outlines:
• the personal information we collect
• how and why, we collect it
• how we hold, use and disclose it
• how you may access or correct your personal information
• how to make a complaint
We collect personal information to provide our products and services, including the distribution of products, the delivery of parcels, and the facilitation of delivery bookings (“Services”).
1. What is personal information?
“Personal information” is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable - whether the information is true or not, and whether it is recorded or not.
2. Sensitive information
Sensitive information includes details about an individual:
• racial or ethnic origin
• political opinions or associations
• religious or philosophical beliefs
• trade or professional memberships
• trade union membership
• sexual orientation or practices
• criminal history
• health, genetic or biometric data
We generally do not collect sensitive information. If we do, it will only be with your consent and only for the purpose for which it was provided.
3. The type of information we collect
DAI Post only collects personal information where reasonably necessary for our business operations. This may include information relating to:
• clients and customers
• suppliers, sub-contractors and partners
• employees and prospective employees
• senders and recipients of parcels or products we deliver
The types of information we may collect include:
• names
• delivery and residential addresses
• email addresses
• telephone numbers
• date of birth
• employment and supplier details
• financial information (where required)
• details about products to be picked up, distributed or delivered
For employees, additional internal requirements apply. Please consult your manager for details.
4. How we collect your personal information
Directly from you, when you:
• contact us
• provide delivery information
• interact with our website or customer service teams
From third-party clients:
Many deliveries are performed on behalf of third-party clients (“our clients”). These clients provide us with:
• names
• delivery addresses
• contact information
• instructions regarding delivery of their products
Because of the nature of our Services, it is often impractical to collect this information
directly from you. If you no longer wish to receive deliveries from DAI Post, you should contact the relevant client or sender directly. If you are unsure who that is, please contact us and we will assist.
5. Why we collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information
We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information when reasonably necessary to:
• provide our Services
• arrange and complete delivery or distribution tasks
• manage relationships with clients, customers, employees and suppliers
• maintain internal business records
• comply with Australian laws and regulatory obligations
• improve our operations and customer experience
These are considered the Main Purposes. We may also use your information for Secondary Purposes where reasonably expected, such as:
• service improvements
• customer support
• direct marketing communications
• business analytics
You may opt out of marketing at any time (see “Direct Marketing and Your Privacy” below).
6. Disclosure of your personal information
We may disclose personal information to:
• third-party service providers (e.g., cloud hosting, software providers, logistics partners)
• mail-houses (e.g., Australia Post, New Zealand Post, Singapore Post)
• professional advisers (e.g., legal or accounting)
• entities involved in the transfer or sale of our business assets
All third-party providers are subject to controls designed to protect your information from unauthorised use or disclosure and are only given access to information required to perform their services. We do not disclose your personal information for purposes other than those described in this Policy unless required by law or with your clear consent.
7. Overseas disclosures
Some third-party providers are located outside Australia. Your personal information may be disclosed - strictly for business-related functions - to entities located in:
• Canada
• New Zealand
• Singapore
• The Philippines
• The United Kingdom
• The United States of America
We maintain effective control over your information, ensuring overseas parties are subject to strong privacy safeguards and restricted access. In some cases, disclosure may be required by local laws in the destination country of your parcel. By providing your personal information, you consent to overseas disclosures as outlined above, where required or permitted by law.
8. Remaining anonymous or using a pseudonym
Where lawful and practical, you may choose to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym. However, due to the nature of delivery services, we cannot provide many of our Services without accurate identifying information.
9. How we protect your personal information
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information, which is stored securely in:
• DAI Post’s internal systems
• third-party cloud or platform providers
Access is restricted to authorised personnel through secure login systems and technical access controls. We regularly update our security measures to protect against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Clients have access only to the data they provided.
10. Unsolicited personal information
If we receive personal information that we did not request and could not lawfully have collected intentionally, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.
11. Accessing and correcting your personal information
We take reasonable steps to ensure the information we hold is accurate, complete and up to date. If you believe your information is incorrect or outdated, you may:
• contact us directly, or
• request updates through our client (if they provided your data)
You can request access to your personal information by emailing privacy@daipost.com. We may need to verify your identity before providing access. Access may be refused in circumstances permitted by the Privacy Act (e.g., safety risks, unreasonable impact on others, anticipated legal proceedings). If access or correction is refused, we will explain why and outline available complaint options. Where we have shared incorrect information with another organisation, you may request that we notify them of corrections. Reasonable costs may apply for access requests, but correction requests are generally free.
