Privacy policy

We respect the privacy of our site visitors and customers. We provide this statement to inform you of our practices regarding how we use information we gather about you. We are committed to protecting your privacy and will comply with the National Privacy Principles set out in the Act to the extent they apply to us.

1 Your acceptance of this Policy

By providing us with Personal Information, using this website and our services, you agree to the collection, holding, use and disclosure of your information as described in this Policy. If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please contact us immediately and in the meantime refrain from providing us with any Personal Information.

2 Changes to our Policy

From time to time, it may be necessary for us to review and revise our Policy. We may notify you about changes to this Policy by posting an updated version on our website. We encourage you to return to our website periodically to ensure you are familiar with our latest Policy.

3 What kinds of information do we collect and how do we collect it?

Generally, we collect your Personal Information directly from you, through registering with us on our website and/or providing you with our subscription service. The kinds of information we may collect includes, without limitation, your name, delivery and billing address, date of birth, email address, fax number and phone numbers.

We may disclose this information to third parties that help us deliver our services (including information technology suppliers, communication suppliers, cloud providers, website hosting companies and our business partners), or as required by law. We may also disclose your information to recipients that are located outside of Australia including our employees located in other countries. If you do not provide this information, we may not be able to provide all of our services to you.

4 Passive information collected

As you use our website, certain information may be passively collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information) including Your IP address, details of your computer system, browser details, details of the website you linked to our website from, geographical location information, pages visited, and website functionality accessed. However, this information does not identify you as an individual, only the computer that you are using to view the site and your approximate geographic location. We also use cookies for remembering your name and login details and preferences, but not passwords.

We use various technologies including cookies, web beacons, internet tags and logs in order to improve and manage our site. We may use and combine such passively collected information to improve our website, customise it based on your preferences, compile and analyse statistics and trends and otherwise administer and improve our website for your use. We may also disclose this de-identified information to third parties.

 5 How do we hold and store Personal Information?

We place great importance on the security of all information of our customers. We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against the misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure of Personal Information under our control.

Once we receive your Personal Information, we make every effort to ensure its security on our systems. Information stored within our network is password protected and access is appropriately limited to those entrusted with authority. We will destroy or de-identify Personal Information when it is no longer required, unless we are otherwise required or authorised by law to retain the information.

No data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Whilst we strive to protect users’ Personal Information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to us or from our online products or services. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for keeping your passwords and account information secret.
