You also confirm that you are of eighteen years of age (or more) or over the legal age of consent in your country of residence.

Privacy legislation. We are located in Australia and are committed to protecting your personal information as required by the Privacy Act 1988 (“the Act”) and providing you with the rights of information, access and correction set out in the Act. The Act sets out 13 Australian Privacy Principles, including: (i) your right to be told what sort of information we collect about you and when/where we collect it; (ii) your right to be told our purposes in using that information and when we may disclose it; (iii) your right to access information we have recorded about you and update that information where it is incorrect. For more information on the Australian Privacy Principles, you can visit http://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/privacy-act/australian-privacy-principles. Please note however that our third party providers may be located or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with using our website and/or with a transaction which requires a third-party provider (such as a third party payment system), then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located.

Your provision of personal information. All provision of personal information by you is optional and, where practicable, you may use a pseudonym instead of your real name. However, if you do not provide us with certain information, please be aware that we may be unable to provide our products to you and you may be unable to enjoy the full functionality of the website (such as membership to our website).

Collection of information. We only collect personal information from you, such as your name, address, phone number, email address, birthdays and other anniversaries, occupation, company, title, position and interests when you use our website and/or do business with us (such as making a request for our products either through the website or via another means). We only store information about you which has been provided by you and not another source. 

You may be unaware that information is being collected.  It may not always be obvious when we are collecting information about you.  You may be unaware that we have collected information about you such if we have read cookies which have been accepted by your browser (discussed separately below).

Disclosing personal information to overseas recipients. Whilst we currently do not plan to do so, we may at a later date disclose your personal information to overseas recipients if that disclosure is for the purpose of receiving services from third parties (such as data storage or web hosting or product manufacture), or for storage in our own data facilities operated overseas. You consent to the transfer and/or storage of your personal information outside of Australia where this is done in the normal course of our trusted external suppliers’ providing services to us provided that we update this Privacy Policy to refer to the location of such overseas recipients. You further agree that, to the maximum extent legally permissible, we are not responsible for the treatment or use of that data by our third party service providers.

This Privacy Policy does not address or protect the treatment of Payment Information by those third party payment systems.  Payment Information is subject to the legal terms between you and that third party payment system.
