of your data.

OUR PRIVACY STATEMENT
Our Privacy Statement explains how we collect, store, use and share your
personal information. It also incorporates our Credit Reporting Policy which
lets you know how we use any credit-related information we might collect.
This Privacy Statement applies to Telstra and all its Australian businesses,
including Telstra Energy and Belong (‘we’, ’us’ or ‘our’ in this Privacy
Statement) but excluding Telstra Health and Telstra Foundation. We have
identified where parts of this Privacy Statement also apply when you use
specific Telstra products and services.
Download our Privacy Statement (including Credit Reporting Policy) (PDF, 1.6MB)
Download our Telstra International Privacy Statement (PDF, 1MB)
These current statements came into effect at 31 March 2021. We may need to
update it over time but if we do, we will post the updated version on this page.
PRIVACY STATEMENT SECTIONS
To find out more, select any of the sections below:
* What information do we collect?
* How do we collect your information?
* How do we store your personal information?
* How do we use your information?
* When do we share your information?
* How do we manage credit information?
* How can you access or correct your personal information?
* How can you make a privacy complaint?
* How can you contact us?
WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?
The types of personal information we collect about you depends on which of our
products and services you use, how you use those products and services, and our
relationship with you.
Generally, we may collect the following types of information about you:
* Information we need to verify you, provide you with our products and
services, and communicate to you about them such as your name, date of birth,
contact details (including address, email address, phone number or mobile
telephone number), occupation, proof of identity (including your driver’s
licence and passport number), Telstra PIN, username and password and
financial information (such as credit card or bank account numbers). We may
also collect biometric information like your fingerprints and voice patterns,
if you consent to this.
* Financial and credit information such as your income details, payment
history, credit history and service history. For more details on how we
manage credit information, see How do we manage credit information? below.
* Sensitive information like your race, ethnic origin, health, and criminal
history. For example, we may need to collect:
* Limited health information (e.g. to determine if you are an eligible
Priority Assist telecommunications customer or if you are an energy
customer on life support equipment)
* Concession details if you are a concession customer (e.g. we need your
Centrelink customer reference number to provide you with a pensioner
discount).
We will seek your consent before we collect and use sensitive information
about you, unless we are permitted or required to do so by law.
* Information about when and how you use Telstra websites
You might also need to provide personal information about other individuals to
us, such as your authorised representatives or when someone at your property
requires life support equipment or Priority Assist. If so, we rely on you to
tell those individuals that you are giving us their personal information and
tell them about this Privacy Statement.
Depending on the Telstra products and services you use, we may also collect:
Telecommunications & associated products and services:
* Information about the products and services you have with us including
technical information about your devices such as your hardware model,
operating system version, the serial number of your devices, the settings on
your devices, our network performance and how you use our networks
* Information about how you use our products and services like:
* Your network usage (e.g. the time and duration of your calls and
information about the operation of the equipment, services and applications
you use on our networks
* How you use our services to access the internet, such as information about
the websites you visit
* Your location or the location of your devices when you are using our
products and services
Energy products and services:
* Information about your energy usage
* Information relating to your energy meter and property such as your national
metering identifier (NMI) which helps us identify your meter and information
about the location of your meter
Our products, services and website may contain links to other websites or
platforms operated by third parties. It is important to be aware that those
third-party websites are not required to comply with this Privacy Statement.
We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party platforms
or websites and you should check the privacy policy of that service or website
to understand how it will handle your information. For example, you may purchase
Netflix through Telstra but be redirected to the Netflix platform to use that
service.
HOW DO WE COLLECT YOUR INFORMATION?
There are three ways that we collect your information.
1. You give it to us when you or your representative interacts with either us
or one of our trusted partners. This might happen when you are setting up an
account with us, using one of our products or services or filling out a form
or contact us with a problem or query.
2. We collect it automatically when you use our networks, products and
services, including our call centres and online services. When you visit our
website, we may also collect additional information about how you use our
website (including via cookies and other technologies).
3. We obtain it from other sources like regulators, credit reports, marketing
mailing lists, public information (including public posts to social
networking sites), and commercially available personal, identity, geographic
and demographic information sources. We may also collect information about
you from our related entities, business and commercial partners and our
service providers (like identity and fraud checking services and credit
reporting bodies).
Depending on the Telstra products and services you use, we may also collect your
personal information from other participants in the telecommunications (such as
our wholesale and other customers) and energy sector (such as energy
distributors, other retailers and metering service providers). We understand
that you might not want to give us particular personal information. If so, that
may mean we are not able to provide you with the products or services you need.
HOW DO WE STORE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
We may store your information in hard copy or electronic format and keep it in
storage facilities that we own and operate ourselves or that are owned and
operated by our service providers.
We use a combination of technical solutions, security controls and internal
processes to help us protect your information and our network from unauthorised
access and disclosure.
We aim to ensure that personal information is kept as current as possible and
that irrelevant or excessive data is deleted or made anonymous as soon as
reasonably possible. However, we might need to keep some personal information
for a longer period of time to comply with our legal and regulatory obligations
and for other legitimate business reasons.
HOW DO WE USE YOUR INFORMATION?
* To provide relevant products and services – We use your personal information
to provide relevant products and services to you and to enable us to conduct
our business.
* Administration – We use your personal information to help us properly manage
the products and services we provide to you, deal with your enquiries and to
maintain and update our records. For example, we need to be able to verify
your identity to detect, prevent and address fraud. We also use your
information for charging and billing and to identify breaches of our terms
and conditions of service.
* Network, security and fraud protection – As part of our network protection
activities, we monitor our Domain Name Servers (DNS) for known malicious
domains which can lead to the downloading of malicious software onto devices.
Where Telstra’s DNS services are used to connect to these known malicious
domains, we may use your information to determine whether you might be
impacted, and if so, notify you so that you can take action to protect
yourself.
* Communication – We need to be able to communicate with you to provide you
with our products and services. We might do this via phone, email, SMS,
social media, search engines and web pages you may visit.
* Improvement – We are constantly working to not only maintain and improve our
products, services and processes but to develop new ones. We may use your
information in a number of ways to help us do this (e.g. to monitor network
use, quality and performance, and to operate, maintain, develop, test and
upgrade our systems and infrastructure). We may also combine information we
hold about you with information from one of our partners’ services to improve
our credit assessment and debt recovery processes.
* Development and analysis – It’s important we understand your information and
communication needs. One of the ways we do this is by using analysis and
business intelligence techniques. This gives us high level insights into
things like usage patterns, network performance, demographic trends and other
types of behavioural data. In many cases, this information is aggregated and
de-identified when analysed. We may share these anonymised insights with
select business and commercial partners. In some cases, we may create
insights with your information on an identified basis but would only do so in
compliance with privacy laws.
* Direct marketing – We want to make sure that you know about all products,
services and special offers of Telstra and its related entities that are
relevant and of interest to you. We may use the information we hold about you
to market and promote them directly to you. We may also contact you with
information about products, services and offers provided by our trusted
partners. In some cases, this marketing activity can continue for up to 13
months after you have stopped using our products or services, unless you opt
out. Please be aware that if you unsubscribe from a mailing list, we will
continue to send you important messages that are not marketing
communications, such as safety or administrative messages.
* You can stop Telstra (including Telstra Energy) using your information for
direct marketing or update your marketing preferences by following the
unsubscribe instructions in any of our marketing communications, logging
into My Telstra or by calling us on 1800 039 059.
* You can stop Belong using your information for direct marketing by visiting
www.belong.com.au/unsubscribe.
* Compliance – We are required or permitted by law to collect or use your
personal information in certain circumstances, including those described
below.
Telecommunications & associated products and services:
* As required or permitted by telecommunications laws and industry codes and
standards legislation, including the Telecommunications Act 1997 (Cth) and
the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 (Cth) (which

* To produce and distribute an alphabetical public number directory (known as
the White Pages) in compliance with our Carrier Licence Conditions
* When we need to undertake identity checks for pre-paid public mobile
telecommunications services under the Telecommunications (Service
Provider-Identity Checks for Prepaid Mobile Carriage Services) Determination
2013
* To provide emergency call service centres and the relevant emergency services
organisation(s) information in relation to calls to the emergency call
service number (000 and 112) (e.g. the most precise mobile location
information we can access about the relevant device when it is used to call
the emergency call service number under the Telecommunications (Emergency
Call Service) Determination 2019)
* To prevent or lessen threats to a person’s life or health under the
Telecommunications Act 1997 or Telstra’s Carrier Licence Conditions
Energy products and services:
* As required or permitted by energy sector legislation (e.g. the National
Energy Retail Law and National Energy Retail Rules)

In some cases, the organisations that we may disclose your information to may be
based outside the location where the information is collected. For example, we
may share your information with other parties in Australia, Canada, Chile,

New Zealand, Philippines, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea,
Sri Lanka, Taiwan, the UAE, Ukraine, United Kingdom, the United States of
America and Vietnam.
Where we do this, we require these parties to take appropriate measures to
protect that information and to restrict how they can use that information.
HOW DO WE MANAGE CREDIT INFORMATION?
We might collect credit information from you or give your information to credit
reporting bodies (e.g. when we are checking your credit worthiness).
Credit information we collect includes:
* Identification information
* Details about information requests made about you to credit reporting bodies
* Current and historical details about your credit applications and credit
arrangements
* Information about overdue payments, default listings and serious credit
infringements, and information about payments or subsequent arrangements in
relation to either of these
* Publicly available information about you, your bankruptcy history and
credit-related court judgments against you
* Your credit scores or assessments of your credit worthiness.
Credit information relates primarily to your dealings with other credit
providers (e.g. banks, other financial institutions, or other organisations that
may provide you with credit in connection with their products or services). It
may also include certain credit worthiness information that we derive from the
data that we receive from a credit reporting body. We may collect this
information about you from other credit providers (see How do we collect your
information? for further detail).
We may disclose your credit information to credit reporting bodies. They in turn
may include it in credit reporting information they provide to other credit
providers to assist them to assess your credit worthiness.
We may use or disclose your credit information for purposes such as:
* Developing our own credit assessment and credit worthiness rating system
* Processing credit-related applications and managing credit that we provide
* Helping you to avoid defaulting on credit arrangements
* Collecting amounts you may owe us in relation to such credit arrangements and
dealing with serious credit infringements
* Assigning our debts or acting in connection with any securitisation or other
financing arrangement (e.g, if we assign debts you owe us to another party)
* Participating in the credit reporting system
* Dealing with complaints or regulatory matters relating to credit or credit
reporting
* When required or permitted by another law
* Other purposes under How do we use your information? and When do we share
your information? (except in relation to information we collect from credit
reporting bodies which we will only use and disclose as described above).
You have the right to request credit reporting bodies not to:
* Use your credit eligibility information to determine whether credit providers
(like us) can send you direct marketing material; and
* Use or disclose your credit eligibility information if you have been or are
likely to be a victim of fraud.
HOW CAN YOU ACCESS OR CORRECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION?
To ensure that we can provide you with the best products and services possible,
it’s important that you make sure the personal information we hold about you is
accurate, up-to-date and complete. You also have the right to request a copy of
your information that we hold about you. There is no charge to submit a request
or to correct information, however we may charge you an administrative fee for
providing access to your personal information on request. If you need to update
your details or you wish to access personal information we hold about you,
please:
* For Telstra (including Telstra Energy) – go to My Telstra or contact us using
the contact details in the How to contact us? section below. You can access
some personal information directly from your My Telstra.
* For Belong – contact us at complaints@belong.com.au
HOW CAN YOU MAKE A PRIVACY COMPLAINT?
You can also use our contact details to notify us of any privacy complaints you
have against us. We are committed to acknowledging your complaint in a prompt
manner and will give you an estimated timeframe for when we will respond to your
complaint.
If your complaint is in relation to a credit reporting issue we will acknowledge
your complaint in writing as soon as possible and in any event within 7 days. We
