This web site is owned and operated by The Plant Food Company, and will be referred to as “We”, “our” and “us” in this Internet Privacy Policy. 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 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”). This Internet Privacy Policy governs the manner in which your personal information, obtained through the web site, will be dealt with. This Internet Privacy Policy should be reviewed periodically so that you are updated on any changes. We welcome your comments and feedback.
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 further services or to answer or forward any requests or enquiries. We will never sell, exchange or otherwise distribute your personally identifiable information, except to the extent required by law. We do not retain the information longer than necessary for normal operations. 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.
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.
Collecting information on Registered members
As part of registering with us, we collect personal information about you in order for you to take full advantage of our services. To do this it may be necessary for you to provide additional information to us as detailed below.
Registration
Registration is completely optional. Registration may include submitting your name, email address, address, telephone numbers, option on receiving or declining updates and promotional material and other information. You may access this information at any time by logging in and going to your account.
Credit Card Details
Credit Card details are only stored for the processing of payment and will be deleted after payment is processed.
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.
Security
We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information submitted to our sites, and we review and update our security measures in light of current technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.
However, we will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information you may transmit to us or from our online products and services. Once we do receive your transmission, we will also make our best efforts to ensure its security on our systems.
All your sensitive private information, including password, bank / credit card details etc. is transmitted over the Internet via 128 bit SSL encryption. No sensitive information will ever be sent via email. This ensures that no data can be intercepted on the way to and from our server.
In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us. However, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.
Collecting Information for Users
Network Traffic Logs
In the course of ensuring network security and consistent service
for all users, we employ software programs to do such things as monitor
network traffic, identify unauthorized access or access to nonpublic
information, detect computer viruses and other software that might
damage our computers or the network, and monitor and tune the
performance of our network. In the course of such monitoring, these
programs may detect such information as e-mail headers, addresses from
network packets, and other information. Information from these
activities is used only for the purpose of maintaining the security and
performance of our networks and computer systems. Personally
identifiable information from these activities is not released to
external parties without your consent unless required by law.
Our web site routinely collects and stores information from online
visitors to help manage the site and improve services. This information
includes the pages visited on this site, the date and time of the
visit, the internet address (URL or IP address) of the referring site,
the domain name and IP address from which the access occurred, the
version of browser used, the capabilities of the browser, and search
terms used on our search engines. This site makes no attempt to
identify individual visitors from this information: any personally
identifiable information is never released to external parties, unless
required by law.
If you find any links to external websites on our website , please
understand that we do not control these sites and resources, do not
endorse them, and are not responsible for their availability, content,
or delivery of services. In particular, external sites are not bound by
our online privacy policy; they may have their own policies or none at
all. You can tell you are leaving the Discount Health Foods web site
