Non-Personal Information
When you only browse our website, we do not collect your Personal Information. Our internet service provider makes a record of your visit and records information such as your server address; your internet protocol address; the pages you accessed and documents downloaded; the previous site you visited; and the type of browser being used. This information assists us to analyse web traffic and improve your site navigation experience.
We do not identify you or your browsing activities except, in the event of an investigation, where a law enforcement agency may exercise a warrant or other such power to inspect the internet service provider’s server logs.
We may also obtain anonymous information from our website using a technology called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files which are transferred to the hard drive of your computer to provide additional functionality to our website and to help us analyse usage of our website. Cookies can identify your web browser but not you. If you wish, you can disable your web browser from accepting cookies. If you disable cookies, you will still be able to access our website but may not be able to access all of our services.

You have the option of not disclosing Personal Information to us or to use a pseudonym when dealing with us in relation to a particular matter, unless it is, in our view, impractical for us to deal with you that way or we are otherwise required by law or authorised by a court or tribunal to deal with you on an identified basis. If you choose to withhold any Personal Information, we may not be able to provide you with part or all of our goods or services
There may also be occasions when we collect Personal Information (to the extent they are available) from publicly available sources, including social media platforms such as Facebook or Twitter. Sometimes, we provide contents and services on a range of platforms (including social media networks) with interactive features to which you may contribute, if you post your Personal Information in publicly accessible places or social media platforms, your Personal Information will become publicly available (subject to, where applicable, any privacy settings you have in place in social media platforms). We will not be responsible for the protection of Personal Information you choose to publish this way.
How we use your information
We may use the Personal Information you provide to us for the purposes for which it was initially collected or purposes related to such initial purpose (if such purpose would be within your reasonable expectations). For example, to:
- provide you with our goods and services, including arranging for goods that you have purchased to be delivered to you (including by a third party courier)
- respond to your questions or requests
- keep a record of our dealings with you and enable us to contact you when necessary
- develop a data profile to enable us to tailor our services to you.

Transfer of your Personal Information overseas
The parties to whom we disclose Personal Information may be in Australia or overseas, including our related entity in the United Kingdom, or third party payment facilities (e.g. Paypal™) in the United States.
If in the provision of goods and/or services to you, it is necessary that we disclose your Personal Information to business partners or third parties in foreign countries, you agree and acknowledge that the overseas recipient will be subject to the privacy law of its local jurisdiction, which is likely to be different to the Australian Privacy Principles. The overseas recipient may be compelled by foreign law to disclose such Personal Information to a third party and you may not be able to seek redress under the Australian Privacy Principles in the overseas jurisdiction. Unless you notify us in writing to the contrary, you consent to our disclosure on the basis that we are not required to take steps to ensure the overseas recipient complies with the Australian Privacy Principles and accordingly Australian Privacy Principle 8.1 will not apply to such disclosure.

Security
We consider confidentiality of Personal Information collected from you to be of utmost importance. We store the Personal Information within our password protected systems or in locked premises, as applicable. To prevent unauthorised access, disclosure or misuse, we have implemented procedures and installed equipment to safeguard the security and confidentiality of your information. We continually review these arrangements to ensure we are doing all that is reasonably and technically feasible at the time to protect your Personal Information. However, since no system is 100% secure or error-free, we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information is totally protected, for example, from hackers or misuse.
If you enter or upload Personal Information on our website, you should exercise due care to safeguard any passwords to access your Personal Information at our website created by you.
We will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify any Personal Information from our systems which is no longer required by us.
