This privacy policy outlines how Darrell Lea Confectionery Co. Pty. Ltd. and its related entities ('we' or 'us') collect, hold, use and disclose personal information as required by the Australian Privacy Principles ('APPs') contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ('Privacy Act').
We collect and hold personal information about customers, potential customers, and other people who come into contact with us ('you').
The kinds of personal information we may collect and hold include your name, gender, date of birth, physical address, phone number, e-mail address, geographic location, debit or credit card details and any other information you provide to us when you use our website, including your domain name and which of our web pages you have visited.
We will generally collect personal information about you directly by way of forms and other documents you submit to us (whether in paper or electronic form), correspondence you provide to us and telephone calls or meetings with you.
We will only use personal information for the following purposes unless otherwise required or permitted by law:
If we are unable to collect personal information relating to you, we may be unable to provide the goods or services you require (or an entity related to you requires) or continue our relationship with you.
We will not sell or trade your personal information, however, we may disclose your personal information to the following kinds of entities for the purposes mentioned above:
We may disclose the kinds of personal information listed above to overseas recipients such as our affiliates/related entities located in the United States of America. We will take reasonable steps to ensure recipients of this information do not breach Australian privacy laws in relation to the personal information we disclose to them.
We hold personal information in paper form and electronic form. Your personal information may also be stored in a secure and encrypted form overseas (e.g. in data storage and cloud computing facilities operated by us or by third parties on our behalf).
We understand the importance of your personal information and have appropriate procedures in place to safeguard and secure the information we collect to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of information.
We take website and credit card security extremely seriously and always endeavour to provide a secure, safe platform from which to conduct online transactions. We use the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts information as it is transmitted over the internet. This encryption scrambles details such as credit card numbers, billing details and delivery addresses so that other computers are unable to decipher the information, ensuring privacy and security.
To ensure you are accessing a secure server, look for the unbroken key or closed lock symbol located either at the bottom left or top right of your browser window. If it appears, then SSL is active. You can double-check by looking at the URL. If SSL is active, then the first characters of the URL will read ‘https’ rather than just ‘http.’ It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and your computer.
We make use of “cookies” on our website. A cookie is a small software message sent to your web browser by our web server. Your browser stores the message in a file and the message is then sent back to our servers each time your browser requests a page from our servers.
We use cookies to gain statistics on which areas of our site attract traffic. We also use cookies to improve your experience of our website. For example, cookies allow us to recognise whether or not you are returning to our website.
Most internet browsers are set up to accept cookies. If you do not wish to receive cookies, you will need to adjust the settings of your browser to refuse all cookies or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to your computer.
