Introduction
1. This Privacy Policy is In-vogue official online privacy
policy and it applies to all personal information collected
by In-vogue. In this policy we explain how and why we collect
your personal information, how we use it, and what controls
you have over our use of it.
2. In-vogue is committed to complying with Commonwealth legislation
governing privacy of personal information by businesses and
to protecting and safeguarding your privacy when you deal
with us.
Collection of information
3. Some information provided to us by clients, customers,
contractors and other third parties might be considered private
or personal. Without these details we would not be able to
carry on our business and provide our services to you. We
will only collect such personal information if it is necessary
for one of our functions or activities.
4. In particular, personal information is collected from people
in the following situations by In-vogue:
- If you contact In-vogue, we may
keep a record of that correspondence.
- When you submit your e-mail address
to our web site mailing list.
5. At or before the time the personal
information is collected by us we will take reasonable steps
to ensure that you are made aware of who we are, the fact
that you are able to gain access to the information held about
you, the purpose of the collection, the type(s) of organisations
to which we usually disclose the information collected about
you, any laws requiring the collection of the information
and the main consequences for you if all or part of the information
is not collected.
Use of information collected and disclosure of personal
information to others
6. We may use or disclose personal information held about
an individual for the primary purpose for which it is collected
(eg. provision of our services, including administration of
our services, notification to you about changes to our services,
record-keeping following termination of our services to you
and technical maintenance). We may also use such information
for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection
and where it would reasonably be expected by you that we would
use the information in such a way. This information is only
disclosed to persons outside our business in the circumstances
set out in this policy or as otherwise notified to you at
the time of collection of the information.
7. In addition we are permitted to use or disclose personal
information held about you:
- Where you have consented to the
use or disclosure;
- Where we reasonably believe that
the use or disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent
a serious, immediate threat to someone's health or safety
or the public's health or safety;
- Where we reasonably suspect that
unlawful activity has been, is being or may be engaged in
and the use or disclosure is a necessary part of our investigation
or in reporting the matter to the relevant authorities;
- Where such use or disclosure is
required under or authorised by law (for example, to comply
with a subpoena, a warrant or other order of a court or
legal process);
- Where we reasonably believe that
the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for prevention,
investigation, prosecution and punishment of crimes or wrongdoings
or the preparation for, conduct of, proceedings before any
court or tribunal or the implementation of the orders of
a court or tribunal by or on behalf of an enforcement body.
Links
8. Our web site may contain links to other web sites and those
third party web sites may collect personal information about
you. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other
businesses or the content of web sites that are linked to
our web site. In-vogue encourages users to be aware when they
leave the site and to read the privacy statements of each
and every web site that collects personally identifiable information.
Security and storage
9. In-vogue places a great importance on the security of all
information associated with our customers, clients and contractors.
We have security measures in place to attempt to protect against
the loss, misuse and alteration of personal information under
our control.
10. Personal information is de-identified or destroyed securely
when no longer required by us.
11. In-vogue retains the information you provide to us including
possibly your contact and credit card details to enable us
to verify transactions and customer details and to retain
adequate records for legal and accounting purposes. This information
is held on secure servers in controlled facilities.
12. Information stored within our computer systems can only
be accessed by those entrusted with authority and computer
network password sanctions.
13. No data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed
to be 100 per cent secure. As a result, while we strive to
protect user's personal information, In-vogue cannot ensure
or warrant the security of any information transmitted to
it or from its online products or services, and users do so
at their own risk. Once In-vogue receives your transmission,
it makes every effort to ensure its security on its systems.
14. Ultimately, you are solely responsible for keeping your
passwords and/or account information secret. You should be
careful and responsible whenever you are online.
Access to and correction of personal information
15. In-vogue is committed to maintaining accurate, timely,
relevant and appropriate information about our customers,
clients and web-site users.
16. So long as your request for your personal information
is in accordance with the National Privacy Principles, then
we will give you access to that information.
17. Inaccurate information will be corrected upon receiving
advice to this effect from you. To ensure confidentiality,
details of your personal information will be passed on to
you only if we are satisfied that the information relates
to you.
18. If we refuse to provide you with access or correct the
personal information held about you by us, then we will provide
reasons for such refusal.
Complaints
19. If you have a complaint about our Privacy Policy or the
collection, use or safe disposal or destruction of your personal
information, your complaint should be directed in the first
instance to us at E-mail: sales@in-vogue.com.au

any breach that might have occurred in relation to the collection,
use or destruction of personal information held by us about
you in accordance with the Commonwealth Privacy legislation.
If you are not satisfied with the outcome of this procedure
then you may request that an independent person (usually the
Commonwealth Privacy Officer) investigate your complaint.

personal information we have collected about you to someone
other than you in a foreign country only if such transfer
is permitted by the National Privacy Principles.
