By using this site, you agree to the Internet Privacy Policy of this web site (“the web site”), which is set out on this web site page. The Internet Privacy Policy relates to the collection and use of personal information you may supply to us through your conduct on the web site.

We reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify or remove portions of this Internet Privacy Policy at any time. This Internet Privacy Policy is in addition to any other terms and conditions applicable to the web site. We do not make any representations about third party web sites that may be linked to the web site.

We recognise the importance of protecting the privacy of information collected about visitors to our web site, in particular information that is capable of identifying an individual (“personal information”).

Personal Information

Personal information about visitors to our site is collected only when knowingly and voluntarily submitted. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with products and services or to answer or forward any requests or enquiries. It is our intention that this policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way that is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia.

When you leave comments on our web site, we collect the data shown in the comments form and also your IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection. Your comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we may recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

We advise avoiding uploading images to our web site with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Otherwise, visitors to our web site can download your image and extract any location data from the uploaded image.

If you register on our web site, we also store the personal information you provide in your user profile. All users can view, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Our web site administrators are also able to view and edit that information.

Data Collected via Technology

Our web host’s server collects information through technology in log files to make our web site more useful for visitors. This information assists us to design and arrange our web pages in a most user-friendly manner and to continually improve our site to better meet the needs of our customers, prospective customers, and visitors.

The data collected in our web host server’s log files include your computer’s IP (Internet Protocol) address, browser type, referring/exit web pages and computer operating system type. This information does not identify you personally. We use this data from time to time to compile aggregate statistics, monitor trends and track site usage. We also use the information to make sure our technology is compatible with that of our visitors. We are then better able to offer content, products and services that match our visitor’s needs.

Data Collected by Third Parties

We do not collect financial information, such as bank account and credit/debit card numbers. Online order forms that take payment are hosted by our authorized third-party payment collectors and processors, WooCommerce and Stripe. Stripe has its own privacy policy and by using an online order form you will be providing your information to Stripe subject to Stripe’s privacy policy. For more information, refer to the Stripe privacy policy at stripe.com/en-au/privacy

We also use third-party providers (such as WordPress, Jetpack and Google Analytics) to analyze visitor behavior on our web pages and in our online shop. All such data collected is anonymized and so does not identify visitors’ personal information.

We provide social media sharing buttons that may access your personal data via third party APIs when you are logged in to your social media account(s). Third party social media sites have their own privacy policies. Refer to the privacy policies of these sites.

Use of Information

Personal information that visitors submit to our site is used only for the purpose for which it is submitted or for such other secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose, unless we disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy Policy or at the time of collection. Copies of correspondence sent from the web site, that may contain personal information, are stored as archives for record-keeping and back-up purposes only.

Disclosure

Apart from where you have consented or disclosure is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was submitted, personal information may be disclosed in special situations where we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally or unintentionally) with our rights or property, users, or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. Also, we may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure.

We may engage third parties to provide you with goods or services on our behalf. In that circumstance, we may disclose your personal information to those third parties in order to meet your request for goods or services.
