What Personal Information About Customers Does Mount Gambier Foods gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at Mount Gambier Foods. Here are the types of information we gather.
Information You Give Us:
We receive and store any information you enter on our web site, or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, customising future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you.
Automatic Information:
We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many web sites, we use "cookies," and we obtain certain types of information when your web browser accesses Mount Gambier Foods. Scroll to the bottom of this page to see examples of the information we receive. A number of companies offer utilities designed to help you visit web sites anonymously. Although we will not be able to provide you with a personalised experience at Mount Gambier Foods if we cannot recognise you, we want you to be aware that these tools exist.
What About Cookies?
Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer's hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser and to provide features such as Automatic Login and permanent Shopping Carts for storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. If you would like to know more, the "Help" section of the toolbar on most browsers will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to have the browser notify you when you receive a new cookie, or how to disable cookies altogether. However, cookies do allow you to take full advantage of some of Mount Gambier Foods's best features, and we recommend that you leave them turned on.
E-mail Communications:
To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Mount Gambier Foods if your computer supports such capabilities. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your account to reflect this by selecting "Unsubscribe" in the Newsletter menu.
Does Mount Gambier Foods Share the Information It Receives?
Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and we are not in the business of selling it to others. We share customer information only with the subsidiaries Mount Gambier Foods controls, and with specific agents and service providers as described below.
Agents:
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include providing webstore and hosting services, processing Credit Card payments, analysing data, and providing marketing assistance. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes.
Protection of Mount Gambier Foods and Others:
We release account and other personal information only when required by law, to enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements, or protect the rights, property, or safety of Mount Gambier Foods, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
With Your Consent:
Other than as set out above, we will not release or provide your information to third parties without your explicit permission.
What Choices Do I Have?
As discussed above, you can always choose not to provide information, even though it might be needed to make a purchase or to take advantage of such Mount Gambier Foods features as Automatic Login, and permanent Shopping Carts. You can add or update certain information on pages such as those listed in the My Account pages. When you update information, we usually keep a copy of the prior version for our records. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your account to reflect this in the Newsletter menu.
