Privacy policy

This Privacy Policy sets out how and why Gallery Aquatica ABN: 77 438 815 748 (“Gallery Aquatica”, “we” or “us” or the "Site") collects, stores, uses and discloses your personal information, when you visit or make a purchase from gallery-aquatica.myshopify.com, and how you may access personal information about you and seek correction of such information.

 

Your privacy matters to us because it matters to you.

 

Gallery Aquatica collects a variety of information from visitors to Our Website, some of which can be confidential.

 

This document explains the types of information we collect and what we do with that information (among other things).

 

By visiting Our Website, using any of our services or otherwise providing us with your personal information (or authorising it to be provided to us by someone else), you agree to your personal information being handled as set out in this Privacy Policy.

 

Collection of personal information

Gallery Aquatica will collect your personal information when you register or subscribe to Our Website, complete a transaction with us and contact us.

 

We will collect your personal information for business purposes only, such as:

 

  • details as to your name;
  • contact information including phone number, email address and delivery address;
  • demographic information such as postcode, preferences and interests; and
  • financial information (payment details).

 

Your personal information can be collected in the following ways, including:

 

  • through cookies and other technologies that allow us to give you a better experience on Our Website;
  • when you contact us independently of Our Website, such as by email, phone or in person; and
  • other information you provide to us when you contact us.

 

In each case, Gallery Aquatica collects such information only insofar as is necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor's interaction with us. Gallery Aquatica does not disclose personal information other than as described below.

 

Visitors can always refuse to supply personal information, with the caveat that it may prevent them from engaging in certain website-related activities and we may not be able to provide our services or assistance to you or on your behalf.

 

Where relevant, you consent to Gallery Aquatica posting and using any photographs and/or personal information you might upload both on its website, its social media sites (including LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube and Facebook) and in any other content or copy we may use for the purpose of our functions and/or activities.

 

You must not provide us with the personal information about another person unless you have first obtained that person’s prior consent to do so and you have told them their personal information will be handed in accordance with this Privacy Policy (including where they find it).

 

Use of personal information

We require this information to process your order and provide you with a better service and in particular for the following reasons:

 

  • Internal record keeping.
  • We may use the information to improve our products and services.
  • With your consent, we may periodically send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting using the email address which you have provided.
  • We may use the information to customise the website according to your interests.

 

Your personal information will be kept confidential and at no time will we trade, swap, exchange or sell this information to any other party or company.

 

We may share this information and only that information which is absolutely necessary, with those third parties that are involved in the processing of your order. For example, the financial institution that issued your credit card and the shipping carrier that delivers your order.

 

Consent – Rights and control of personal information

When you provide us with personal information to complete a transaction, verify your credit card, place an order, arrange for a delivery or return a purchase, we imply that you consent to our collecting it and using it for that specific reason only.

 

If we ask for your personal information for a secondary reason, like marketing, we will either ask you directly for your expressed consent, or provide you with an opportunity to say no.

If you change your mind, you may withdraw your consent for us to contact you, for the continued collection, use or disclosure of your information, at any time, by contacting us at shop@galleryaquatica.com.au.

 

Disclosure

Any personal information provided to us may also be disclosed, if appropriate, to other entities in order to facilitate the purpose for which the information was collected, or if you violate our Terms of Service.

 

Such entities generally include:

 

  • third party ‘partners’ or affiliates with whom Small Business First has a commercial relationship in order to provide you with the benefit of our services or to make available products or opportunities arising in respect of registering on our Site; or
  • third party service providers for the purpose of enabling them to provide a service such as (but not limited to) payroll, superannuation administration, IT service providers, data storage, web-hosting and server providers, debt collectors;
  • any related entity of Gallery Aquatica;
  • any applicable or relevant regulator or third party for the purpose of legislative or contractual compliance and/or reporting;
  • Gallery Aquatica’s legal advisers;
  • any relevant law enforcement agency; or
  • other entities if you have given your express consent.

 

Storage and security of personal information

To protect your personal information, we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.

 

If you provide us with your credit card information, the information is encrypted using secure socket layer technology (SSL). Although no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, we follow all PCI-DSS requirements and implement additional generally accepted industry standards.
