Collecting Information About You

We do not collect personally identifiable information from individuals unless they provide it to us voluntarily and knowingly.

Using & Disclosing Personal Information

When you make a purchase of goods or services, we will use the information that you supply for purposes relating to providing the goods or service you request. For example, we need your delivery details in order for our couriers to deliver your order; similarly, we need your credit card details if you elect that method of payment and, for a competition, we need your contact details so that we can contact you if you win.

We may also use your information in order to keep you informed of developments with our product range or other services and to let you know of special offers and promotions. If you are receiving promotional information from us and you do not wish to receive it any longer, please let us know – either by phoning, faxing or e-mailing our Customer Service department.

Like many businesses, we use a range of service providers to help us maximise the quality and efficiency of our service and our business operations. This means that individuals and organisations outside of Estelle Pty Ltd, such as couriers, banks, credit card providers etc., will sometimes have access to some of the personal information that we hold and may use it on our behalf. We require our service providers to adhere to strict privacy guidelines and not to keep this information or use it for any unauthorised purposes.

Except as outlined above, we will not use or disclose information about you without your consent, unless:

  • required by law;

  • to implement our terms and conditions;

  • to protect the rights, property or personal safety of another person or Estelle Pty Ltd; or

  • the assets and operations of the business are transferred to another party as a going concern.

Our Web Site Privacy Practices

In common with most other web sites, we use cookie technology to provide information and services to web site visitors. A cookie is a small text file that a web site transfers to your computer’s hard disk for record keeping purposes and is a necessary part of facilitating online transactions.

We use "session" cookies for the duration of your visit only. These cookies are necessary to enable you to place an order or to change your details online. At the end of your visit, the session cookie is removed and cannot be used to track your movements between sessions.

For statistical purposes we collect general information about web site activity. The information does not identify an individual but it does provide data that we can use to analyse and improve our web site.

For most requests, your information will be provided free of charge, however, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee if your request imposes significant costs on us in terms of staff time or other resources.

Identifiers

Estelle Pty Ltd establishes close relationships with its clients. In order to facilitate that continuing relationship, registered clients are allocated membership number. This helps to make ordering more efficient and allows us to discount and reward loyal customers. An example of the use of the membership number is so that when you order from our web site, your order may be pre filled with your personal details.

Anonymity

We respect your right to preserve your anonymity. Generally, you have no obligation to provide any personal information requested by us. However, if you choose to withhold requested information, we may not be able to provide you with the goods and services that depend on the collection of that information.

We have in place a procedure for anonymous cash sales over the counter and we do not require you to register or provide information to us in order to view our web site.
