PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: [September, 2021]

We are subject to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act).

In this Privacy Policy the expressions "we", "us" and "our" are a reference to Wear it Purple Incorporated ABN 39 634 641 162, and we are a charitable organisation.

Types of personal information we collect

When we talk about “Personal Information” in this Privacy Policy, it has the meaning given in the Privacy Act, and includes information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:

(a) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and

(b) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

We collect Personal Information from you when you visit the Site, meet us in person at a meeting or event, and you choose to give it to us – for example, if you want us to contact you, have asked us to provide you with information or advertising relating to our products or services, have agreed to support or sponsor us, or when you make, or attempt to make, a purchase through the Site. The Personal Information we collect from you in those circumstances includes your name, organisation/business name (including employees, and contractors names), billing address, shipping address, email address, and phone number.

We also collect Personal Information about you from our service providers. For example, if you donate to us through the Site, the processing of that donation is handled by GoFundraise, and GoFundraise provides your Personal Information to us in connection with that donation.

We also automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser, IP address, time zone, and some of the cookies that are installed on your device. Additionally, as you browse the Site, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to the Site, and information about how you interact with the Site. We use this information to customise information for the Site’s visitors and to collect aggregated data for the purposes of analysis, quality control, administering and improving the Site and our digital services. It is not used for any other purpose. We refer to this automatically-collected information as “Device Information”.

We collect Device Information using the following technologies:

(a) “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. You can stop your browser from accepting new cookies or disable cookies altogether by changing your browser or mobile device preferences.

(b) “Log files” track actions occurring on the Site, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps;

(d) Some of the personal information we collect about team members is collected pursuant to laws including the Fair Work Act, Superannuation Guarantee (Administration) Act, the Income Tax Assessment Act and other tax laws, Corporations Act, occupational health and safety acts and workers compensation acts.

How do we use your personal information

(a) fulfill any orders placed through the Site (including processing your payment information, arranging for shipping, and providing you with invoices and/or order confirmations);

(b) deal with your donations;

Sharing your personal information

We share your Personal Information with our third party service providers in order for them to provide services to us, including processing and fulfilling purchases you make through our online store on the Site. These third parties may be located overseas including in America. It is not practicable for us to specify in advance the location of every service provider with whom we deal.

Finally, we may also share your Personal Information to comply with applicable laws and regulations, or to respond to a subpoena, search warrant or other lawful request for information we receive.

For team members and job applicants, we may also provide your personal information to academic institutions, recruiters, screening check providers, health service providers, professional and trade associations, referees and prospective employers.

Storage of data

When you provide us with your Personal Information, we may hold electronic records of your Personal Information using cloud technology or by other electronic means, or in paper form.

Data security

We will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to protect the Personal Information we hold from misuse or loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We will also take steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to destroy or de-identify Personal Information once we no longer need it for any purpose for which the information may be used, disclosed or retained under the Privacy Act. However, when using the Site you should be aware that no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Although we strive to protect such information, we do not warrant the security of any information that you provide us over the Internet and you do so at your own risk.

When providing your information to our third party service providers, including overseas companies, you consent to us and our third party service providers processing and storing information about you. We will put arrangements in place to protect your information when it is shared in this way.

All personal information you provide to our website is delivered through a secure, encrypted connection called secure sockets layer (SSL). Additionally, on all checkout pages we are

Level 1 PCI compliant and use 128 bit SSL encryption which provides industry standard levels of protection against unauthorised access to the information while it is in transit over the Internet.

We may change or update this Privacy Policy from time to time in order to maintain our compliance with applicable law and regulation or following an update to reflect changes to our internal practices. You may not be directly notified of such a change so please ensure that you regularly check this Privacy Policy so you are fully aware of any changes or updates.
