2.  The types of personal information we collect

  • information about your preference for products or services we offer
  • your payment details for products
  • information on the products we have provided to you; and
• other information you have provided to us, including our records of any communications or interactions we have with you.

We will only collect other personal information, including sensitive information, in accordance with the Privacy Act.

b)  Collection of personal information through websites and Apps

If you use our website, information is automatically collected through your use of our website, through cookies. Cookies are small text files that websites may place on your computer or device. Most often, cookies are used to recognise repeat users of websites and remember user preferences. We may collect this information both anonymously and in relation to purchases. Cookies are also used to allow the website to track usage behaviour and aggregate data to allow us to customise a user's experience on the website. For example, when you visit our website, we may use cookies to record information including your server address, the date and time of your visit, the pages you viewed, any documents you downloaded and the type of browser and operating system you used. The information is used and may be disclosed by us for purposes including statistical analysis and to assist us to improve the functionality and usability of the website. Similarly, we may periodically collect and use technical data and related information (including technical information about your mobile device and system preferences), to facilitate the provision of software updates, software support and other services related to the website.  Cookies are not used to identify you, although they will identify your browser. If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies you may be able to delete or reject cookies through your browser or the settings section of your mobile or tablet device. Disabling these features may cause some of the functions on the website not to work properly.

4.  How personal information is used and disclosed

a)  Main purposes

The main purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information are to provide you with our products and services, and to support the operation of our business, which may include:

• processing transactions online and delivering products and services;
• to provide any associated loyalty program;
• promoting us and our products and services, including through direct marketing, events and competitions, public relations and social media;
• performing research and statistical analysis, including for customer satisfaction and product and service improvement purposes (this may include matching information we collect against other information held by third parties, noting we may use and disclose de-identified data for these purposes);
• helping us tailor existing or develop new products, services or offers, and to help us selectively target promotional offers and opportunities;
• developing or seeking to deliver new ranges of products;
• protecting the security of our staff, clients, suppliers and merchandise (including theft and fraud prevention); and
• answering queries, resolving complaints and responding to inquiries through social media.

We may also collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for other purposes explained at the time of collection or which are required or are authorised by law, and/or for which you have provided consent.

5.  Direct marketing

By providing your address, email address and telephone numbers to us, you consent to us contacting you for the purposes set out in section 4. We may send this information in a variety of ways, including by mail, email, social media, SMS and telephone.

6.  Email and mobile communication

If you provide us with an email address or phone number, you consent to electronic communication such as notices or reminders being sent to you via that address or number. You may prefer to provide us with your personal email address or phone number rather than, for example, an email address accessible by your work colleagues.

7.  Opting out

Where it is lawful and practicable to do so, individuals may transact business with us without providing personal information or by providing information under a pseudonym.

You may also opt not to have us collect your personal information or, if you are a customer or user of the website, request that we de-identify any personal information we hold about you. This may prevent us from offering you some or all of our products and services.

To opt out, please contact us using the contact details in section 13. Also, if you believe that you have received information from us that you did not wish to receive or if you no longer wish to receive marketing calls, please contact us.

8.  Who we may share your personal information with 

We may share your personal information with third parties where appropriate for the purposes set out in section 4, including:

• financial institutions for payment processing;
• our contracted service providers or partners, including: overseas and local agents, delivery and shipping providers, information technology service providers, venues and event organisers, marketing and communications agencies, research and statistical analysis providers, call centres, hard copy and electronic mail houses, manufacturers and suppliers and external business advisers (such as recruitment advisors, auditors and lawyers); or
• regulatory, investigative or government bodies to comply with laws.

We may ask one of these third parties to contact you directly for a specific purpose, and provide us with information collected from you in the course of providing the relevant products or services. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information necessary to deliver their services. We take reasonable steps to ensure that these organisations are bound by privacy obligations to protect personal information otherwise we will seek your consent before sharing personal information with these parties.

9.  Cross border disclosure 

We may disclose personal information to overseas recipients, who are located in places such as Germany, Switzerland, Hong Kong, India, the Philippines and other countries or jurisdictions depending on the nature of the services those recipients provide to us (for example storing data via a cloud service, or where our customer relationship management system is hosted on servers located overseas, or where delivery address information for online orders is managed via a third party located overseas).

10.  Data quality and security

a)  General

We hold personal information in a number of ways, including in printed documents, electronic databases and email contact lists. Printed documents may be held at our head office, or archived in boxes and stored in secure offsite facilities. We take reasonable steps to:

• ensure that the personal information that we collect, use and disclose is accurate, up to date and complete and (in the case of use and disclosure) relevant;
• protect the personal information that we hold from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; and
• destroy or permanently de-identify personal information that is no longer needed for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law, including the APPs.

You can help us keep your information up to date by letting us know about changes to your details using the contact details in section 13.

b)  Security

We will take reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from unauthorised access or disclosure, or misuse or loss. The steps we take to secure personal information may include website protection measures and security restrictions on access to our computer systems. While we endeavour to protect the personal information of users of our website, we cannot guarantee the security of information you disclose online: you disclose that information at your own risk. If you are concerned about sending your information over the internet, you can contact us using the contact details set out in section 13. If you become aware of any security breach, please let us know as soon as possible.

11.  Third party sites

Links to third party sites that are not operated or controlled by us are provided for your convenience. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of those sites, which are not covered by this Privacy Policy. Third party websites should have their own privacy and security policies, which we encourage you to read before supplying any personal information to them.

12.  Access and correction

a)  General

Please contact our head office using the contact details in section 13 if you would like to access or correct the personal information that we hold about you. We may ask you to verify your identity before processing any access or correction requests, to make sure that the personal information we hold is properly protected.

b)  Access

We will generally provide you with access to your personal information within 30 days of your request, subject to some exceptions permitted by law. We will also generally provide access in the manner that you have requested (e.g. by providing photocopies or allowing a file to be viewed), provided it is reasonable and practicable for us to do so. We may, however, charge a fee to cover our reasonable costs of locating the information and providing it to you.

c)  Correction

If you ask us to correct personal information that we hold about you, or if we are satisfied that the personal information we hold is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, we will take reasonable steps to correct that information to ensure that, having regard to the purpose for which it is held, the information is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading. If we correct personal information about you, and we have previously disclosed that information to another agency or organisation that is subject to the Privacy Act, you may ask us to notify that other entity. If so, we will take reasonable steps to do so, unless this would be impracticable or unlawful.
