Madame Korner™ and its related companies are committed to providing you with a high level of customer service. We recognise the importance of protecting and maintaining the privacy, accuracy and security of personal information you may supply to us through your conduct on this website, in particular information that is capable of identifying an individual ("personal information"). We are bound by, and will abide by, the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act (Cth) 1988 ("Privacy Act").
Personal Information
In the process of conducting our business, we are likely to collect a wide range of personal information about visitors to our site. The type of personal information we collect generally includes your name, residential and billing address, email address, telephone or mobile numbers and products and services we provide to you. This Internet Privacy Policy governs the manner in which your personal information, obtained through the web site, will be dealt with.
Unless you have agreed to have your credit card information stored in our system, we do not store any credit card information obtained through our website. We pass it onto our bank or where applicable, our supplier for processing. However, we do hold partial digits for verification of your card on delivery at times. In some instances we request a copy of a valid Australian photo ID and credit card to confirm delivery when you are not going to be at home or the products have been purchased as a gift to ensure the transaction is not fraudulent. This information is destroyed as soon as its accuracy is confirmed.
Collection of Personal Information
Madame Korner™ collects personal information directly from you when you submit it online on this website or over the telephone. Registration may include submitting your name, email address, address, telephone numbers and an option on receiving updates and promotional material and other information. There may also be instances when we collect information from publicly available sources or third parties. This information includes names, email addresses, telephone numbers and social media profile name sourced from permission based marketing activities. You may access this information at any time by logging in and going to your account.
Use of Personal Information
We may use your personal information to:
· provide you with our products and services;
· respond to questions or product requests (including via online live chats);
· forecast future needs of our products and services;
· keep a record of our dealings with each other and enable us to contact you when necessary; and
· develop a data profile to enable us to tailor our services to you.
· In addition, in order to improve and better our offers and service we may keep track of patterns of use in the e-mails and social interactions we send. By supplying us your information, you give us and our related companies permission to communicate to you via email, SMS, MMS, social media and telephone to inform you about services we deliver relevant to you. This permission is not limited in time unless you choose to opt out by contacting us using the contact information provided below, or by utilising an ‘unsubscribe’ facility on a communication we send to you.
Some provision of personal information is optional. However, if you do not provide us with certain types of personal information, you may be unable to enjoy the full functionality of the site and services.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We never sell, rent, lease or disclose your personal information to other organisations, except as outlined in this privacy policy. We may disclose personal information only to our service providers who assist us in operating the Site. We will only disclose personal information to an unrelated third party with your consent. Such service providers include: our banks or third party supplier for securing payment of the products or services we provided to you; service providers who manage or review the services provided to you; mailing systems which organise delivery of the products you have purchased; live help service providers, maintenance and repair services; delivery service providers; market research; and our professional advisers, accountants, lawyers, auditors and where applicable credit report agencies or debt collectors.
We require these organisations to maintain the confidentiality of your personal information and also seek to ensure that they adhere to the National Privacy Principles. These service providers are not permitted to use your personal information for their own marketing purposes.
In addition, we may release your personal information under the following circumstances:
· when required to do so by a court or under applicable laws or regulation (for example, a subpoena) or where requested by a government agency;
· where we consider a company or an individual may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices that a governmental agency should be made aware of; and
· to appropriate persons, where your communication suggests possible harm to others.
In the event that we sell or buy businesses or their assets, or engage in transfers, acquisitions, mergers, restructurings, changes of control and other similar transactions, customer information is generally one of the transferable business assets. Thus, your personal information may be subject to such a transfer. In the unlikely event of insolvency, personal information may be transferred to a trustee or debtor in possession and then to a subsequent purchaser.
If you voluntarily provide information in publicly accessible areas of the Site, the information can be viewed and therefore used by others. We advise User Admins and users not to disclose contact information that they do not wish to have publicly available. We are not responsible for personal information you choose to submit publicly.
