HOW MIGHT WE DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION
Taybritt is made up of many companies all over the world, and different companies have different operations and responsibilities within the larger group. Based on those operations and responsibilities we will share your information with our affiliated companies, who will use that information only in the manner set forth in this policy. We also engage third parties to perform services in connection with the operation of our business. Examples of these services include but are not limited to payment processing and authorization, fraud protection and credit risk reduction, product customization, order fulfilment and shipping, marketing and promotional material distribution, mailing houses, couriers, professional advisors such as accountants, solicitors, business advisors and consultants, website evaluation, data analysis and, where applicable, data cleansing. We may need to share personal information with these third parties so that they can perform these services, however, we limit the personal information that we give to them and authorise them to use this information only for the purpose of performing those services and provided they use your personal information in a manner that is consistent with Australian law. In proceeding with your online order, you agree that both your name and address and those of the delivery name and address (if different) will be checked using third parties such as credit agencies. If you are providing a delivery name and address which is not your own you must have that person’s permission to give us their personal information and for us to use it for the purposes specified. By providing it you are saying you have that person’s permission to do so. We share aggregated demographic information about our user base with our agents, including agencies or third party vendors so that they can provide marketing analysis and consult on advertising strategies. This information does not identify individual users. We also may share non-personal information, such as the number of users who visited the website during a specific time period or who purchased a specific product through the website, with our marketing partners, advertisers and others from time to time. This information generally is shared in an aggregated form. We may release personal information if we believe in good faith that: the law or legal process requires it; if we have been advised by our legal counsel to do so; if we have received a valid administrative request from a law enforcement agency; or if such release is necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Taybritt, or any of our respective affiliates, business partners, customers or others. As with any business, it is possible that as our business develops, we might go through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company, sale of all or a portion of our assets or buying online stores or other assets. In such transactions, your information will likely be transferred. You will be notified via a prominent notice on our site of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information. You will be deemed to have consented to the transfer of your personally identifiable information to any such successor entity unless you notify us via email to the contrary within the 30 day period. Personal information submitted to or collected through this website may, in addition to Australia, be disclosed to entities in New Zealand, the United States of America, India, Hong Kong or China for the purposes described in this privacy policy. By providing us with your information (including simply using our website), you consent to any such transfer of information. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipients of your personal information do not breach the privacy obligations relating to your personal information. We do not share, sell or rent to other third parties any personal information that you provide to us, except with your consent or as described in this Privacy Policy.
UPDATING AND ACCESSING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
We require accurate personal information about you to ensure you receive the best possible service from Raging Bull Surf. You may request access to any personal information we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see details below). Please ensure you are able to advise which store you last visited for products. Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with a suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you). We may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our administrative and other reasonable costs in providing the information to you. We will not charge you for simply making the request and will not charge for making any corrections to your personal information. There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the personal information we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is up-to-date whenever we collect it or use it. This may include, for example, using data obtained from third parties to verify the accuracy of your personal information. If you find that current personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or out-of-date, please contact us and we will correct it.
MANAGEMENT AND SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Raging Bull Surf takes reasonable steps to protect any personal information that we hold from misuse and loss. We also take reasonable steps to protect it from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. Your personal information may be stored in hard copy documents or electronically. Raging Bull Surf maintains physical security over hard copy and electronic data storage. Personal information about individuals is stored on servers that sit behind a firewall that is housed within a secure data center. We monitor activity on the website to reduce the likelihood of any unauthorised disclosure of credit card numbers or other personal information. In addition, we utilize a licensed system for credit card authorisation and fraud detection. We use industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption to protect the confidentiality of your personal information. Notwithstanding this, we cannot guarantee that your personal information will be protected against unauthorised access or misuse, and do not accept any liability for the improper actions of unauthorised third parties. Whilst Raging Bull Surf takes reasonable efforts to safeguard the privacy of your personal information, transmissions made by means of the internet cannot be made absolutely secure.
