Privacy
Sanitarium acknowledges and respects the privacy of individuals. This policy sets out the way in which we will use, manage and protect your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles and the privacy laws.
How Do We Collect Personal Information?
Sanitarium may collect personal information from you, including but not limited to, your name, address, telephone number, mobile number and email address, when you knowingly provide us with this information. If you do not provide your personal information, we may not be able to provide you with the services that you have requested.
How Do We Use Personal Information?
Sanitarium may use the personal information that you submit to us to provide and improve our services.
Sanitarium may disclose this information to our suppliers, contractors, agents for the purpose of providing you with the goods and services that you have ordered and/or requested. Additionally Sanitarium may from time to time send you offers or information on goods or services that Sanitarium considers will be of interest to you.
If your personal information is collected in connection with a joint promoter, we may disclose your personal information to that joint promoter for marketing and research purposes.
Sanitarium may allow your personal information to be given to third parties for similar purposes unless you have clearly indicated that this is not to occur.
Some of the third parties with whom we share personal information may be located outside Australia, including the United States of America and New Zealand. While such third parties will often be subject to privacy and confidentiality obligations, you accept that where lawful, such obligations may differ from and be less stringent than the requirements of the privacy laws of Australia.
We may also disclose your personal information if required to by law.
Security of Personal Information
Sanitarium will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect is accurate, complete and up-to-date. Your information is generally stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities.
Sanitarium will take all reasonable steps to protect all personal information held by us. However, no guarantee can be given that information sent over the Internet is always 100% secure. Sending and receiving information over the Internet is at the user’s own risk, and Sanitarium does not accept responsibility for any consequences of unauthorised access to your information.
Access, Accuracy and Complaints
If at any time you want to know exactly what personal information we may hold about you, you may request details of that information by e-mailing us at [email protected]. We will endeavour to provide you with the information within seven days. If a fee will apply to compile your information we will let you know this in advance.
If you want to correct or update your information, or you consider that we may have misused your personal information, or breached this Privacy Policy or our general privacy obligations, please contact us by e-mail at [email protected] with details of your issue and your email bearing the subject line “Privacy” and we will respond as soon as practicable.
Sensitive Information
Sanitarium will not collect use or disclose sensitive information (such as information about racial or ethnic origins or political or religious beliefs) except with your specific consent or in the circumstances permitted in the Australian Privacy legislation.
