This policy is a public document and has been prepared in light of National Privacy Principles.
1. Collection Of Information
1.1 Pyrosales will only collect personal information where the information is necessary for Pyrosales to perform one or more of its functions or activities.

- business planning and product development
- marketing products and services
1.3 Pyrosales will notify individuals (including, but not limited to, our customers) of the matters listed below at the time of collecting any Personal Information:
- the main reason that we are collecting Personal Information (this reason will be the Primary Purpose)
- other related Uses or Disclosures that we may make of the Personal Information (Secondary Purposes)
- our identity and how individuals can contact us, if it is not obvious that individuals can access the Personal Information that Pyrosales holds about them
- that individuals should contact Pyrosales (even if they are not a customer) if they wish to access or correct Personal Information collected by us or have any concerns in relation to Personal Information
