The Australian National Privacy Principles (NPPs)

Integrati Marketing Consulting takes your business and your customer data very seriously, as a result we work to the best practices in direct marketing in Australia by adhering to the Australian National Privacy Principles. Your data and your customer data is safe with us.

In Australia there are ten NPPs that regulate how  the private sector organisations (our business and your business)  manage personal identifying information or data.

These principles cover the collection, use and disclosure, and secure management of personal information by agency’s and businesses.

They also allow individuals to access that information and have it corrected if it is wrong. Integrati Marketing Consulting adhere to the Australian NPPs and will work with any consumer or organisation that has information which we hold that may need, updating, suppressing or deleted from out marketing database.

Integrati Marketing is a permission based direct marketing agency, we only communicate with people who have requested ongoing communications from us.

If you have any questions about our privacy privacy or data we hold about you please contact our Privacy Officer at request@integrati.com.au we will be happy to get in touch.
