COOKIES
We may utilise “cookies” when you visit our Website, which enables us to operate an efficient service and track the patterns of behaviour of visitors to the Website.

If you need to access or correct any personal information we hold about you, please contact us using the “Contact Details” set out below. We request that you provide us with as much detail as you can about the particular information you seek to or correction of, in order to help us retrieve it.
An access fee may be charged to cover our costs of providing the requested information to you. In certain circumstances, we may refuse to provide you with access or to correct your personal information including, but not limited to where:
• giving access would pose a serious threat to the life, health or safety of any individual, or to public health or public safety;
• giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;
• the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
• giving access would be unlawful; or
• denying access is otherwise required or authorised by law.
If that is the case, we will give you our reasons for that decision. Where we decide not to update your personal information, you can request us to attach to the personal information a statement of the update sought. In some circumstances where we correct a record, we may still require the retention of the original record.

This protection applies in relation to information stored in both electronic and hard copy form. We may hold personal information both at our own premises and with the assistance of our service providers.
We use a number of procedures and processes to ensure, where possible, the security and integrity of your personal information including by:
• maintaining physical access restrictions, password protections and technology products to prevent unauthorised computer access; and
• securely destroying or de-identifying your personal information when it is no longer needed for any purpose for which the information may be used or disclosed under this Privacy Policy, excepting as required or authorised by law or for our record retention purposes.
We use 256 - bit SSL (secure sockets layer) encryption technology when processing your financial details. 256-bit SSL is the industry standard. To further secure your credit card, we also don’t keep details of your credit card information, including the security code (or CCV number) that you need to input in order to complete an order using your credit card.
While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee 100% the security of any information (personal or other) you transmit to us over the internet. Therefore, we do not warrant the security of any information you transmit to use over the internet and you do so at your own risk.
