Privacy Policy

Your personal information is important to us:

ausgift recognises that your privacy is very important to you and that you have a right to control your personal information. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously.

ausgift & best practice privacy standards:

ausgift is committed to protecting your personal information. We believe that our privacy policy is both fair and represents industry best practice. The Internet Industry Association is developing a Code which provides a high standard of privacy protection. ausgift is committed to complying with this Code, and building on the high levels of trust that it enjoys with its tens of thousands of customers. ausgift will comply with any laws introduced to strengthen protections for consumers' privacy.

What information we collect about you:

ausgift will not collect or monitor any personal information about you without your consent. Only information you provide ausgift with directly will be collected, such as through subscribing to various products & services, or identifying yourself when requesting information to be sent to you. The only personal information we collect is what you tell us about yourself. For example, when you fill out a request form, we collect the details you enter to enable us to post information to you. When you answer questions about what you would like to see we keep this information so as to better serve you.

ausgift's use of "cookies":

ausgift uses "cookies" to help enhance your experience on the site. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies as the default. However, if you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your browser to refuse cookies. If you turn off cookies we cannot, for example, fill out forms automatically with details you have previously given us.

The use of cookies can enhance your experience on the ausgift site, by remembering information that you have previously given to us. They can make it easier for you to fill out forms, shop online and can ensure that information provided to you is most relevant to your interests. Cookies can also provide us with information on how our customers use our website so that we can continually improve the design of the website.

Cookies themselves do not contain personal information about you. They simply operate as a unique identifier which helps us to know what our customers find interesting and useful on our website, almost like a continuing questionnaire. ausgift does not store any personal information inside cookies, although the cookie may identify the user's browser.

ausgift will not use or disclose any specific information about you without your consent, unless required by law. ausgift and its affiliates recognise the trust you place in us when you give us personal information. We will use this aggregated information to bring you products & services which we believe will be of benefit to you. However, we will not disclose specific information about you to any other company without your explicit consent.

Information & Promotional Emails:

From time to time we will send you relevant information emails regarding products and services which you have previously registered your interest in. If you are receiving promotional information from ausgift and do not wish to receive this information any longer, you may unsubscribe from any mailings.

ausgift will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date.
