Use of personal information

We may use your personal information to:

• provide you with information on our products and services;
• respond to questions or product requests
• 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 and social media 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.  You will only be emailed if you authorise us to do so by either subscribing to our news letter, or during the ‘checkout’ process in transactions.

Where may we disclose your personal information?

We never sell, rent, lease or disclose your personal information to other organisations, except as outlined in this privacy policy. Aphrodite’s Pleasure will not pass on information to other trading activities taken out by Griffox Pty Ltd without your express permission.  We may disclose your personal information to organisations outside Aphrodites Pleasure and our related companies for purposes relating to the management of your account with us. Such organisations 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; delivery service providers; and our professional advisers, accountants, lawyers, or debt collectors if necessary.

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.

Security

Aphrodite’s Pleasure takes all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is secure. We have robust systems and procedures in place to protect your privacy whenever we collect, store, and use or disclose personal information. We regularly upgrade these systems and review our procedures to ensure high standards of security are used to protect your personal information. As a condition of working for Griffox Pty Ltd all our employees sign a confidentiality agreement. Despite all these measures, no system is 100% secure or error free, we cannot guarantee that your personal information is totally protected from those individuals/organisations who work outside of the law. If you enter personal information on our website, you should exercise due care to safeguard any passwords, ID number, or other special access features associated with your use of our website.

Should at any time you believe that your details may have either inadvertently or deliberately obtained by another party who you have not given express permission to access your details, you should contact us immediately for the information to be changed, and previous login details to be erased from our system.  Additionally we will contact you should we believe there is any unusual activity with your account for your confirmation.  This method of contact may be most likely by either email or telephone.

We will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently remove personal information from our systems which is no longer required by us.

How to access and amend personal information

We strive to keep your personal information accurate, up-to-date and complete. Our policy enables you to find out what information we hold about you and correct that information if it is wrong.

If you become aware that any information we hold about you is incorrect or out-of-date, please let us know immediately. We will be happy to accept updated personal information in writing from the owner of that information at any time. However, in order to protect your privacy and security, we will take reasonable steps to verify your identity before granting you access or enabling you to make corrections of your personal information.

Our objective is to respond to any request within a reasonable time frame and no later than 14 days.

We may refuse access to personal information where the information being sought is mixed with other information that would disclose personal information of another person, where the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, where providing access would be unlawful or where denying access is authorised by law.
