Privacy Policy
What This Policy Covers
This policy covers how Melbourne Sports Photography (MSP) treats personal information that MSP collects and receives, including through the www.melbournesportsphotography.com.au website (the “Site”).
Personal information is information about you that is personally identifiable, including your name, email address, billing address, phone number, credit card information, and other information that is not otherwise publicly available. This policy does not apply to the practices of companies or websites that MSP does not own or control, or to people that MSP does not employ or manage.
Why We Collect Personal Information
MSP collects your personal information because it helps us deliver a superior level of customer service. It enables us to give you convenient access to and/or ordering of our products and services, as well as to focus on categories of greatest interest to you. In addition, your personal information helps us keep you posted on the latest product announcements, special offers, and events that you might like to hear about. Our emails to you will always contain an unsubscribe option.
Information Collection and Use
MSP may ask for your personal information when you are purchasing a product, or discussing service issues. In such cases, we may collect personal information relevant to the situation, such as your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and contact information, your credit card information, and information relating to a support or service issue.
You acknowledge and agree that such information may, because of the very nature of the internet, pass through a number of jurisdictions and countries and you agree to that happening.
MSP gathers certain generic information with respect to your use of the Site, such as the frequency with which you visit the Site, the applications and the services you use, and the areas of the Site that you favour. This data helps us determine the extent to which our customers use certain parts of our site which, in turn, enables us to make it as tailored and relevant as possible. We may also provide statistical information about how our customers collectively use our Site to partners, advertisers, sponsors, and other companies with which we do business. We do this so they, too, can understand how often people use their areas of the Site in order for them to provide you with the best possible experience. This statistical information does not contain any personally identifiable information about you or any of our users. We may also use personal information to provide products that you have requested as well as for auditing, research, and analysis to improve our products.
MSP may set and access cookies on your computer. A cookie is a small text file containing a unique identification number that is transferred from a website to the hard drive of your computer so that the site administrator may identify your computer and passively track its activities on the Site. This unique number identifies your web browser to our computer system. A cookie will not allow a website to learn any personally identifiable information that you have not otherwise disclosed. Cookies allow us to automatically remember your web browser when you visit our Site. The use of cookies is an industry standard, and they are currently used on most major websites. It is possible to adjust your web browser preferences to alert you when a cookie is sent to your hard drive, or to refuse cookies all together. While we do not require you to use cookies, keep in mind that certain sites and services may not function properly if you set your browser to refuse all cookies.
Access to Your Personal Information
You can access, update or request the removal of your personal information by contacting [email protected]
Disclosure Exceptions
Any information given to us shall be stored and managed with our best possible care, and will not be used in any ways to which you have not consented. We will not sell, rent or exchange such personally identifiable information to any other organisations or entities, unless the user is first notified and expressly agrees to. Notwithstanding the above, we may indeed disclose your personal information if required to do so to regulatory authorities, in response to any legal process, such as a court order or subpoena, or when such disclosure is made for establishment of legal rights or in defending against legal claim or as otherwise required by law.
Information Sharing
We will not share your personally identifiable information with third parties, aside from entities that perform services for us, such as processing payments, that either are bound to comply with our privacy policy or have privacy policies that protect your information.
However, we may disclose information you provide if required to do so by law or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is necessary to (1) comply with the law or with legal process served on us; (2) protect and defend our rights or property; or (3) act in an emergency to protect someone’s safety.
Security
While the security of your personally identifiable information is important to us, you must remember that no method of transmission over the internet, or method of electronic storage, is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personally identifiable information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Sale of Assets
In the event that MSP is ever sold, acquired, merged, liquidated, reorganised, or otherwise transferred, we reserve the right to transfer our user databases together with any personally identifiable information contained therein, to a third party acquiring MSP assets.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may change our privacy policy from time to time by updating this policy, so you should check this privacy policy periodically. Each time you use our website, you will be taken to have agreed to abide and be bound by the updated privacy policy.
