We also obtain some information from other third parties, including reference checks.

5. FOR WHICH PURPOSES WILL WE USE YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
The main purpose for which we use your information is to provide you with the information, goods and services that you request from us or you supply to us.

6. WHAT IS OUR LEGAL BASIS FOR USING YOUR PERSONAL DATA?
Necessary for the entry into or performance of a contract
When you enter into a transaction with us, a contract between you and us will have been entered into. In order for us to fulfil our obligations under such contract (e.g. to allow you to place an order for goods or services, or for you to supply goods or services to us), we will need to collect, process and share (as further detailed below) your personal information. Failure to provide the requisite personal information when placing your order and financial information on entering into the transaction or objecting to this type of processing / exercising your deletion rights will unfortunately mean we cannot provide our goods or services to you, or you supply goods or services to us.
Legitimate business interests
We have a legitimate interest in processing your information as:
- we will both benefit from the provision of goods and services;
- we both benefit from the effective operation of our websites;
- we will both benefit from the ability to enforce or apply rights under any contract between us;
- we are required to ensure health and safety at our premises and have a legitimate interest in ensuring any processes are effective;
- we have a legitimate interest in ensuring the security of our premises, and in assisting with the prevention and detection of crime;
- we have a legitimate interest in processing your information in connection with any mergers, acquisitions, or reorganisations of our business, in which case some of your information may be shared with a prospective buyer or otherwise but only so far as is strictly necessary for the purposes of such sale or administration;
- we would be unable to provide our goods and services without processing your information.
We may also pass your personal information to members of our group and other third parties, which is also for our legitimate business interests (see section 7).
We consider that it is reasonable for us to process your personal data for the purposes of our legitimate interests outlined above, as we process your personal data only so far as is necessary to achieve the purpose outlined in this privacy policy, and the processing of your personal data does not unreasonably intrude on your privacy.
Consent
We may also process your personal data for the following purposes when you have given us your consent:
- communicating with you through means which you have approved, to keep you up to date on our products and services, company announcements, events and news;
- customer surveys, marketing campaigns, market analysis, competitions, and promotional activities or events;
- collecting information about your preferences so we can personalise the quality of our communications and interactions with you.
With regard to direct marketing communications, we will, where legally required, only engage in such communications where you have consented to receive it. You will have the opportunity to “opt out” at any time if you no longer wish to receive direct marketing communications from us. You have the right to withdraw your consent to processing of this nature at any time by emailing us at [email protected].
Compliance with legal obligations
There are situations where United Malt is subject to a legal obligation and needs to use your personal information to comply with that obligation.
7. WHO DO WE SHARE YOUR DATA WITH?S
We may share your information with the other United Malt Entities (as listed in Appendix A). As a global malt business, we share your information with other United Malt Entities for the purposes outlined in section 5 above.
We may also use a number of carefully selected third parties to supply us with products and services, such as (but not limited to) supply chain operators, IT providers, auditors, insurers, credit check providers, reference check providers, consultants, advisers and legal advisors. We will only share your information with these suppliers where it is necessary for them to provide us with the services we need. We do not share your information with third parties for marketing purposes. We may also share your information in connection with any mergers, acquisitions, or reorganisations of our business, in which case some of your information may be shared with a prospective buyer or otherwise of our business.
We may also share your information in response to a valid, legal request from a Government or law enforcement agency, or with third parties such as the police, regulatory authorities, or law courts to protect our people, rights, interests and property, or to otherwise comply with a legal or regulatory obligation.
8. TRANSFERRING YOUR PERSONAL DATA ABROAD
Your personal information may be sent to and stored by us and third parties in countries outside of where you are located (which could include countries that do not provide the same level of protection as the laws of your home country), and outside the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom. We may transfer your information abroad for the purposes listed in section 5 above. This may involve your information being transferred to United Malt Entities based in Australia and the United States (which are countries the European Commission does not deem to have adequate security in place) and to Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom (which are countries the European Commission deems to have adequate security in place). In addition, we may transfer your personal information to parties in countries outside the country where you are located to provide services to us. Where we transfer information outside of the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we will ensure that such transfers are subject to appropriate or suitable safeguards as required by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 or other relevant laws.
9. RETENTION OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
We will only retain your personal information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Policy, or otherwise legally required or permitted. Data retention periods vary depending on location. This may be up to 7 years, unless a longer or shorter retention period is required or permitted by law.
We will also retain your personal information if it is required by United Malt Entities to assert or defend legal claims, until such time that the claims have been settled or the relevant retention period has expired.
10. SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA
The personal information we hold on you may be stored electronically or in hard copy. We have put in place reasonable physical, technical, and organisational measures to safeguard the information we hold. Such measures include, but are not limited to: system access restrictions and authentication, firewall and virus protection systems, and physical security systems.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to us; any transmission is at your own risk.
If you have reason to believe that your interaction with us is no longer secure please immediately notify us of the problem by contacting us at [email protected]. In the unlikely event that we believe the security of your personal information in our possession or control may have been compromised, we may seek to notify you of that development. If such a notification is appropriate, we will endeavour to do so as promptly as possible under the circumstances.
You are reminded if you have an account with the Cryer Malt websites, you are responsible for maintaining the strict confidentiality of your account password, and you are responsible for any activity under your account and password. It is your sole responsibility to control the dissemination and use of your password, control access to and use of your account, and notify us when you wish to cancel your account. We will not be responsible for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this obligation.

14. CREDIT REPORTING (AUSTRALIA)
Cryer Malt may provide certain goods and services to customers on commercial credit terms. Cryer Malt may need to handle personal information about customer credit worthiness in connection with those arrangements. This section applies in relation to that sort of personal information (“credit-related personal information”). Other sections of this Policy are particularly pertinent to this section, such as dealing with your rights, complaints, transferring your information abroad and how United Malt collects and holds personal information. There may be cases where Cryer Malt is subject to further obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and to the extent applicable, the Privacy (Credit Reporting) Code (collectively, the “Privacy Law”), and this Policy is not intended to limit or exclude those obligations.
If you apply for customer credit with Barrett Burston Malting Co Pty Ltd (trading as ‘Cryer Malt’), or you will be guaranteeing the obligations of a credit applicant, we may request a credit report about you from a credit reporting body (“CRB”). Credit reports contain credit related personal information about you, and we use these reports to assess your application and ability to repay credit. To obtain these reports, Cryer Malt will disclose credit related personal information so that the CRB can accurately identify you.
We may, to the extent permitted under the Privacy Law collect, hold and disclose any types of credit-related personal information about a person, including:
- name, sex, date of birth, driver’s licence number, employer name and three most recent addresses;
- the fact that the person has applied for credit and the amount and type of credit limit;
- confirmation of previous information requests to CRBs made by other credit providers, mortgage insurers and trade insurers;
- details of the person’s credit providers;
- start and end dates of credit arrangements and certain terms and conditions of those arrangements;
- permitted payment default information, including information about related payment arrangements and subsequent repayment;
- information about serious credit infringements (e.g. fraud);
- information about adverse court judgments;
- publicly available information about the person’s credit worthiness;
- certain insolvency information from the National Personal Insolvency Index;
- any credit score or credit risk assessment indicating a credit reporting body’s or credit provider’s analysis of your eligibility for credit.
Where we have collected credit-related information about you from a CRB, we may use that information to produce our own assessments and ratings in respect of your credit worthiness.
Cryer Malt may exchange credit-related personal information with CRBs as may be permitted under the Privacy Law to:
- assist CRBs to maintain information about you to provide to other credit providers in order for credit assessments to be undertaken;
- assess a credit application made by you or an application to be a guarantor;
- manage credit;
- create assessments and ratings of your credit worthiness.
The CRBs to which we may disclose credit-related personal information are:
