Privacy Policy – FAQs
This page explains, in simple terms, how we collect, use, and protect your personal information. It outlines what information we gather, why we need it, and how we keep it safe. We are committed to transparency and ensuring your privacy is always respected.
Our Commitment to Keeping Your Trust
We handle all personal information within the company with utmost care, in compliance with the Australian privacy laws.
Why We Collect Information
We collect information from you in order to provide the best customer service we can. This information is needed in order to deliver products and services to you, to complete transactions on your behalf, and to gain a better understanding of your requirements and preferences.
We may contact you for additional details or verification before accepting an order. In addition, your information will allow us to provide you with offers that are of more specific interest or benefit to you in future.
How We Collect This Information
We store your registration and ordering details so that you don’t have to provide them every time you shop with us.
The personal information we collect is supplied by you, then verified for our database.
What We Collect
The information we collect includes your name, business name, address, delivery address, phone number and e-mail address.
Sharing Your Information
We may need to pass personal details such as your name, business name and address to service providers who perform some of our deliveries. This may include major delivery companies, outsourced call centres, mail houses and third party fulfilment contractors.
In special circumstances (for example, if there is a new owner of the business), your information may be transferred as part of that sale. We will not use your information for purposes unrelated to the services we provide without your consent. We may also provide data to other business partners for various purposes, such as marketing research. In this situation, only details pertaining to the direct transaction and sales of our products will be released.
If you would like to access your personal information, please email your request via the Contact Us page or phone us on 1800-005-636. We take the greatest care to store your personal information securely in order to justify your confidence in shopping with us online.
Only specially cleared team members in our Customer Service Centre and in Marketing, Stores, Finance and IT have access to our customers’ personal information. Their access is subject to strict controls and procedures. Our e-commerce sites use a security measure called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology. SSL locks all your critical information in an encrypted envelope, preventing this information from being intercepted. Our SSL technology is the industry standard in Internet security.
