Privacy Policy
This is an overview of how your privacy is protected during your visit. This includes information on how we gather, store, use and disclose information collected on our internet site.
Collection of Information
Information on this internet site is gathered indirectly through our site’s technology, and directly when you provide information to us.
When you access this internet site, our servers collect anonymous navigation information and it is placed in our Internet access logs. This information includes the type of browser and operating system you are using; the address of the referring site; the date and time of your visit; the IP address of your server; and the address of the pages you accessed. This provides information to Cider Australia on how the internet site is used and navigated, such as the number of hits, the frequency of visits and the duration of visits to each internet site page. It does not personally identify individual users unless the users have previously elected to identify themselves by submitting personal information.
Like most internet sites, Cider Australia collects information from you through the use of cookies. Cookies are small files of information, which save and retrieve information about your visit to this internet site. The internet site sends a cookie to your browser and it is stored on your hard disk. A cookie helps to identify your browser to the internet site when you return to visit and identifies the previous requests your browser made. This enables the internet site to be tailored to you on your return visits. The cookies we use only identify you as a number. Cookies cannot identify you personally. If you do not want the information to be gathered on a cookie you may obtain advice from your Internet Service Provider who will tell you how to disable a cookie through the appropriate menu in your browser.
Use of Information
We use information collected on this internet site to determine the effectiveness of our internet site so that we can deliver content that better meets our users’ needs. We may use this information to provide you with information you have requested; inform you about cider-related content, services and special offers; to provide customer support; or for advertiser payment purposes. If the information we collect from you is used for any other purpose, we will advise you of our intent when we request information from you. You can then withdraw your request and no information will be collected from you.
You can remove your information from our internet site at any time. If you no longer wish to receive certain information from us or to supply certain information to us, you can edit or delete the information at any time or delete the information at any time by contacting us to request that we do so.
Protection of Information
Cider Australia does not give or sell your information to any third party. We may only disclose your information where we are required by law to disclose personal information to law enforcement and government agencies, courts or external advisors. We may share information with a third party, but only if that information is provided directly by you and you have been informed in advance of the information’s release.
We use our best efforts to grant access to information on our internet site only to registered members, buyers, sellers and advertisers. However, we are not responsible or liable if some other third party, such as someone posing as the aforementioned evades security measures and gains access to the information on our internet site, and subsequently, your information. However, registered members, buyers, sellers and advertisers or any third party who have access to the online database may have retained a copy of your information in their own files or databases. We are not responsible or liable for the retention, use or privacy of registered members, buyers, sellers and advertisers information in these circumstances.
Statistical information is not disclosed in connection with your personal information.
Cookies
We use ‘cookies’ on this site. A cookie is a piece of data stored on a site visitor’s hard drive to help us improve your access to our site and identify repeat visitors to our site. For instance, when we use a cookie to identify you, you would not have to log in a password more than once, thereby saving time while on our site. Cookies can also enable us to track and target the interests of our users to enhance the experience on our site. Usage of a cookie is in no way linked to any personally identifiable information on our site. Some of our business partners may use cookies on our site (for example, advertisers). However, we have no access to or control over these cookies.
Sharing
This is not linked to any personal information that can identify any individual person. We use a credit card processing company to bill users for goods and services. These companies do not retain, share, store or use personally identifiable information for any secondary purposes beyond filling your order.
Links
This web site contains links to other sites. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of such other sites. We encourage our users to be aware when they leave our site and to read the privacy statements of any other site that collects personally identifiable information.
Surveys and Contests
From time-to-time, our site may request information via surveys or contests. Participation in these surveys or contests is completely voluntary and you may choose whether or not to participate and therefore disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name and postal address), and demographic information (such as postcode, age range). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site.
Security
When capturing user data it is passed through a secure server using encryption technology to ensure that your information is protected when being sent over the Internet. All stored user information is protected from unauthorised access through the use of secure passwords and user logins or other security procedures. Information provided through this site is held in a secure server environment behind firewalls. Although we maintain rigid standards in protecting your security from such risks as loss or unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure of data, no transmission over the Internet or storage of information on servers connected to the Internet can be guaranteed to be absolutely secure.
