Why does FibreconX collect personal data?

FibreconX only collects personal data required to provide services to our customers and operate our business efficiently.


What personal information does FibreconX collect?

The types of personal data collected by FibreconX depends on the relationship the party has with FibreconX.

In general, FibreconX collects individual’s name and contact (phone, mobile, email) information for all individuals we interact with.

FibreconX also collects business site/address information of:

  • Customers, generally head office or regional office addresses, for the purpose of sending formal business correspondence (legal notices, invoices, etc).
  • End-customer service delivery locations, needed for the quotation and delivery of FibreconX services
  • Suppliers, for the delivery of network equipment, in order for the supplier to warehouse and/or install the equipment

FibreconX may also collect financial information relating to the companies, and also potentially the name and personal address of company directors.

For clarity, FibreconX does not collect any:

  • Date of birth, government issued identification details
  • Financial or private address details of any party, other than where required to perform due diligence/credit assessment
  • Credit card information
  • Data which traverses our dark fibre network.

How does FibreconX collect your personal data?

FibreconX generally collects personal information directly from the company whose personal information is retained by FibreconX. This may occur when parties:

FibreconX uses a combination of technical solutions, business processes and security controls to manage the confidentiality, integrity and availability of personal data.


Does FibreconX share personal data with any third parties?

FibreconX limits the sharing of personal information relating to third party individuals (regardless of whether they are customers, end-customers, suppliers or contractors) to only FibreconX staff and third parties who need this information to perform their duty.

Third parties who FibreconX share personal information with includes:

  • Delivery partners (e.g. installation contractors), where required to deliver network services
  • Australian government (state and national) entities, including law enforcement, security agencies, regulators and other agencies, where required to required or permitted by law
  • Other parties, where required or permitted by law
