If you are a victim of fraud the Privacy Act entitles you to request that a CRB not use or disclose credit reporting information they hold about you during a "ban period". You can make such a request to the CRB listed per details given at its website also stated above.

Overseas Disclosures:

Michelin Australia is a part of the Michelin Group and as a result of its management structure some recipients of personal or credit information may not be located in Australia. While it is not reasonably practicable to list all of the countries to which your information may be transmitted from time to time but such countries are likely be those where Michelin has offices globally. A list of those countries is available through the Michelin Australia website at www.michelin.com.au. Such non Australian organizations may in turn be required to disclose information we share with them under a foreign law.

Unless a CRB has a business link in Australia we will not share your credit information with a CRB. We are unlikely to share credit information we obtain from a CRB or that we derive from that information with third parties outside of Australia.

When we do share information as above, we remain responsible for that disclosure and will ensure that your credit information is handled according to the requirements under the Part IIIA of the Privacy Act.

- Access would prejudice enforcement activities
- The information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between you and Michelin Australia and would not be accessible by the process of discovery
- Access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others
- The information relates to a commercial sensitive decision making process
- Access would be unlawful;
- The request for access is frivolous or vexatious
- We reasonably believe that access will pose a serious threat to life, health or safety of an individual, or to public health or public safety.

3. Types of personal information that is being collected and held

You may be asked for personal information if you want to take advantage of specific services we offer such as, but not limited to, e-mail enquiries (contact us), consumer or tyre reviews, survey, social sharing features (such as the Facebook "Like" button or other tools) or specific promotions. It is entirely up to you whether or not you wish to provide any personal data or information to us. If you elect to provide such information or personal data (“Personal Data”) to us or if you provide such data to us in the course of accessing or using the Site, you are deemed to have expressly consented to our collection, processing, usage and retention of such Personal Data.

4. Cookies
a. About Cookies:

A cookie is a small file saved on a user’s computer to help store preferences and other information that is used on webpages that they visit. Cookies can save a user’s settings on certain websites and can sometimes be used to track how visitors get to and interact with websites. It's important to clarify that cookies do not collect any personal data stored on your hard drive or computer. To find out more about cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org.

b. How Michelin uses Cookies

Michelin works with carefully selected and monitored partners who help us use cookies to provide site analytics. Analytics help us to understand how visitors are interacting with a site in order to optimize the site to enhance visitor's experience. Also some of these partners may set cookies during your visit to support customization of adverts that you may see elsewhere on the Internet.

c. Why does Michelin use cookies?

Michelin is constantly searching for new ways to enhance its website(s) and improve the service it delivers to you. Michelin uses different types of cookies, as mentioned below. Some of these cookies require the online user's prior permission (advertising cookies) before they can be installed on the user's device.

d. How to delete Cookies

You have control over these cookies: you can block them, destroy them or manage the cookie settings.

If you would like to disable / block our cookies from your hard drive, you can find out about removing them at http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html. In addition you may refer to the information set out below. Please note that the information set out below is only for guidance and recommendation purposes only. Michelin shall not be liable for any consequences resulting from the guidance set out below.

i. On a computer

There are two ways to uninstall cookies. The first way is to use your web browser to see the cookies already installed on your computer and delete them either individually or all at once.
•   Apple Safari: "Privacy" section in the "Preferences" menu, area dedicated to "Cookies and other site data";
•   Google Chrome: "Privacy" section in the "Settings" menu, subsection "Content settings", area dedicated to "Cookies and site data";
•   Microsoft Internet Explorer: "Tools" menu, "Internet Options" section, then "General" then "Browsing History", then "Settings", "Temporary Internet Files and History Settings" window, and finally "View files";
•   Mozilla Firefox: "Tools" menu, "Options" section, "Privacy" subsection, dedicated "Remove individual cookies" functionality.

You can also delete cookies manually by following the steps below:
•   Go to your workstation and select the Windows folder in C:\
•   Open the "Temporary Internet Files" folder and select all files (CTRL+A)
•   Choose the "delete" option

You can also configure your web browser to block cookies or display a warning before any cookies are installed. The steps to follow vary from one browser to another, but you will find instructions in the browser's "Help" menu. The browser you use to access Michelin websites can be configured independently on each device.

ii. On a smartphone or tablet

Cookies can be removed or deleted as follows:
•   Android: Go to the "Privacy & security" section in the "Settings" menu. From there, you can choose "Clear cache", "Clear passwords", "Clear all cookie data" and "Clear form data". You can also configure these functionalities not to save cookies.

Under iOS 7 or earlier, you can choose between the options "Always", "From third parties and advertisers" and "Never”.

Uninstalling or blocking the cookies used on Michelin websites can impede or even prevent your use of these websites.

By using our Site, you agree to the use of cookies and other technologies as set out in this policy. You are free to block our cookies & adjust your browser settings accordingly.

e. Types of cookies Michelin uses

Michelin may use one or several of the cookies discussed here.

Cookies can be transient (a "session" cookie), in which case they last only as long as your browsing session on the website, or persistent, with a longer lifespan depending on the lifespan assigned to them and your browser settings. There are many different types of cookies. They can be classified into four broad groups as follows:

i. Strictly necessary cookies

The cookies strictly necessary for the provision of an online communication service over electronic means are essential for the Site to work properly. Disabling them will make it very difficult to use the Site, or even impossible to use the services it offers. These cookies do not retain any information about you after you leave the website. They are used, for example, to identify devices for routing the communication, to number the "packets" of data in order to route them in the right order, and to detect transmission errors or data losses.

ii. Functional cookies

Functional cookies are strictly necessary for the provision of an online communication service expressly requested by the user. They provide a user-specific functionality. If these cookies are uninstalled, it will prevent the service being provided. Functional cookies can collect personal data. For some cookies, this information can be retained after the end of your browsing session on the website, and sent to partners, solely for the purposes providing necessary services. They include, for example, cookies that save user preferences such as language, "user session" cookies (that identify the user when he or she navigates on several pages, and which retain data only for the duration of the browser session), and "shopping basket" cookies.

iii. Audience measurement cookies

Audience measurement cookies are used to recognize visitors when they return to the Site. These cookies store only an online user "identifier" (specific to each cookie) and are not, under any circumstances, used to collect nominative information about visitors. They record the pages visited, the length of the visit and any error messages, so that we can improve the browsing experience on Michelin websites.

Audience measurement cookies can be installed and managed by partners, but we limit their use to the statistical analysis requested.

iv. Targeted advertising cookies and social media tracking cookies generated by social media sharing buttons

Targeting and tracking cookies allow third parties to provide services, mainly advertising, and enhance their effectiveness. These cookies can retain the web pages and websites you visit, and collect personal data, primarily the IP address of the device used by the online user. The information collected can be shared with third parties.

For example, these cookies allow Michelin's advertising departments to display advertisements that match your centers of interest, based on your browsing history on Michelin websites, or limit the repetition of advertisements. These cookies require your permission: a clearly visible banner will appear on the website page to request your permission to install these cookies.

Michelin and third-party providers, including Google, use proprietary cookies and third-party cookies in conjunction to obtain information, and optimize and display advertisements based on the user's visits to the Site. Michelin and these providers also use these two types of cookies to determine the relationship between the visits recorded on the Site and the advertisements viewed on the screen, other uses of advertising services and the interactions with the advertisements viewed and the advertising services. Lastly, Michelin and these providers use these two types of cookies to remember your centers of interest and your demographic data with a view to offering you targeted advertising.

Michelin uses what are known as social plug-ins (which we will refer to below as buttons) to link back to social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube.

When you visit our Site, these buttons are disabled by default, i.e. they do not send any information to the social networks concerned unless you do something. Before the buttons can be used, you have to activate them by clicking them. The buttons remain active until you disable them again or delete your cookies. Once activated, the system establishes a direct link to the server of the social network selected. The content of the button is then transferred directly from the social networks to your web browser, which integrates them into the website you visited.

Once you have activated a button, the social network concerned can collect data, whether or not you use the button. If you are logged into a social network, the network can attribute your visit to the website in question to your user account. When you visit other Michelin websites, your visit will not be linked up with the initial website until you activate the corresponding button on these websites too.

If you belong to a social network and don't want the social network to establish a link between the data collected during your visit to our website and the information recorded when you registered, you must log out of the social network in question before activating the buttons.

Please note that we have no influence on the volume of data collected by the social networks through these buttons. To know the volume of data collected and the reasons for collecting it, as well as how the information is processed and used by the social networks, and your rights and configuration options for protecting your privacy, please read the privacy terms of the social networks concerned.

Our Site may use the social network buttons below:

A list of those countries is available through the Michelin website at www.michelin.com. Such organizations may in turn be required to disclose information we share with them under a foreign law.

When we do share information as above, we remain responsible for that disclosure and will ensure that your personal information is handled according to the requirements of law.
