Data Security
The security of your Personal Information is given a high priority. We take all reasonable steps to securely store your Personal Information so that it is protected from unauthorised use, access, modification or disclosure. This includes both physical and electronic security measures.
It is a legal requirement that, in some circumstances, we keep records of your Personal Information for a period of 7 years.

All such third parties are prohibited from using your Personal Information except to provide these services and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.
If we propose to sell the business, we may disclose your Personal Information to potential purchasers for their due diligence investigations. Disclosure will be made in confidence and it will be a condition of that arrangement that no Personal Information will be used or disclosed by them.

Data Transmission
United Global SIM has security measures in place to provide protection against the loss, misuse and alteration of your Personal Information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a result, while we strive to protect your Personal Information, United Global SIM cannot warrant or ensure the security of any information you transmit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
When you give Personal Information to United Global SIM, that information may be sent electronically to servers outside of the country where you originally entered that information. In addition, the information may be used, stored and processed outside of the country where you entered that information.
Protecting your Global SIM account from unauthorised access
Anyone who knows your account PIN or online username and password can access your account. You must keep your PIN, username and password secure and only share these details with people you authorise to access and manage your United Global SIM account. United Global SIM accepts no responsibility for information disclosed to parties who know your PIN, username or password.
You are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of passwords which may be issued to you and/or any account information. Please be careful and responsible in all of your online dealings.

Accessing your Personal Information
You can request access to your Personal Information in most cases without restriction or charge. If charges are applicable for providing access we will disclose these charges to you prior to providing you with the information. We will provide you with access to your Personal Information unless we are legally authorised to refuse your request which we will explain in writing. To request your Personal Information, please contact us at the address below.

OTHER INFORMATION WE COLLECT

Cookies
A cookie is a small data file that certain websites write to your hard drive when you visit them. A cookie file can contain information such as a user ID that the site uses to track the pages you've visited. But the only Personal Information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself.
Generally, cookies work by assigning a unique number to the user that has no meaning outside the assigning site. A cookie cannot read data off your hard disk or read cookie files created by other sites. This random number lets us keep track of "how many" times customers are doing specific things - like visiting our site each month - without really knowing who those customers are. We also use cookies to keep track of the purchase and activation paths and to make sure you don't see the same ad repeatedly. We use cookies to deliver content specific to your interests and to save your member ID.
After you have entered your contact and delivery details during a session on our service, you can elect to save that information so you don't have to re-enter it on your return to the site. If you do not want this information to be saved, you must indicate "DO NOT SAVE DETAILS" when prompted. Users should be aware that United Global SIM cannot control the use of cookies or the resulting information by advertisers or third parties hosting data for United Global SIM.
The use of cookies is an industry standard and many websites use them to provide useful features for you.
Cookies do not personally identify you, only your computer.

Complaint Handling Process

Our Principles
You have a right to complain, and if you do we will deal with your complaint in a fair, efficient, objective manner and through a transparent process.
We strive to solve any problems you may have during your first contact with us.
Our complaint handling process complies with the requirements of the Telecommunications Consumer Protections Code C628:2012 (TCP Code) and responsibility for compliance with the process lies with our Chief Executive Officer.

Fees
We will not charge you for dealing with your complaint in most instances, and we will never charge you without telling you first.
We may charge you to recover our costs in very specific circumstances only, i.e. we may charge you where you request information that was collected more than two years ago or where you request information that is not free of charge as per our Standard Form Customer Contract or our Critical Information Summary.
If cost recovery charges apply, we will tell you before charging you (and you may of course choose not to pay and discontinue your complaint) and we will inform you about your options for external dispute resolution, e.g. the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman (TIO).
If you wish to make a complaint, we are contactable using the following information:
UNITED GLOBAL SIM
1 300 299 698
Tel: +61 2 9003 9555
From Global SIM: *200#
Email: sim@unitedglobalsim.com
Please note that if you are calling us from a landline, your call is charged according to your own carrier. Please also note that calling us from a mobile may be more expensive. If you would like to use a free toll service, please contact us using the 1 300 299 698 number.

Acknowledge…
We will acknowledge your complaint immediately if you talked to us over the phone, and within 2 working days if you have lodged your complaint through any other channel including where you left a message on our answering machine (e.g. outside our office hours).
When we acknowledge your complaint we will give you a unique reference number or similar to enable you to easily follow up on your complaint. We will also give you an indicative timeframe for resolving your complaint. You can follow up on your complaint by contacting us via email or phone (please use the details aforementioned).

And Solve...
Our goal is to always fix your problem during your first contact with us. Sometimes this is not possible and we need to investigate the matter. We will then agree with you on how to fix your problem (this may include waiving of fees or other commercial solutions) and advise you accordingly within 15 working days of receiving your complaint.
We will advise you in writing if you request this.
Occasionally it may take longer than 15 working days to investigate your problem and in this case we will explain why and give you a new expected timeframe. If the delay is more than 10 working days (and is not the result of a Mass Service Disruption) we will also inform you about your options for external dispute resolution such as the TIO.
Once we agreed on how to fix your problem, we will implement all actions required to fix the issue within 10 working days, unless you agreed otherwise or unless you have not done something that we needed you to do and we cannot proceed because of this.

What if your complaint is urgent?
Your complaint will be treated as urgent:
If your service has been disconnected or is about to be disconnected and due process has not been followed, or if you are receiving Priority Assistance (e.g. because of a severe medical condition) for the service you are complaining about.
In this case we will agree with you on how to address the issue and implement all required actions to fix the issue within 2 working days. If there is a delay, we will explain why, provide you with a new expected timeframe, and if it is a longer delay also inform you about your options for external dispute resolution such as the TIO.

If you are unhappy with our efforts
If you tell us that you are not satisfied with the complaint timeframes, its progress or the outcome or if you tell us your complaint ought to be treated as urgent, we will escalate your complaint internally. If you are still dissatisfied, we will inform you about your options for external dispute resolution such as the TIO.
We will never cancel your service only because you have contacted an external dispute resolution scheme.
We encourage you to always contact us first if you experience any problem or are unhappy. We will do our best to solve your problem during our first contact. You can contact the TIO as follows:
Phone: 1 800 062 058
Fax: 1 800 630 614
