Privacy Matters

The information gathering and distribution procedures for personal information obtained online, over the mail, at our retail locations, and through wholesale account holders of Gilhooleys are described in the section below. 

GILHOOLEYS PRIVACY POLICY

The business Gilhooleys, as well as its parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, are committed to safeguarding the privacy of its clients. The goal of this privacy statement is to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles ("APPs") by describing the types of information we may collect about you, how we may use it, how we may protect it, when we may release it, and the options you have regarding your information.

You agree to the procedures outlined in the most recent iteration of this privacy statement by using the Site. If you have previously visited the site, please examine the privacy statement once more to ensure that you are familiar with its current provisions.

If you have any questions or concerns about the privacy or security of your information, you may contact us.

NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT

We automatically collect non-personally identifiable information from you when you visit our Site. This information includes your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, which is the number automatically assigned to your computer whenever you access the Internet. We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to administer our Site.

We also collect non-personally identifiable information through the use of cookies. A cookie is an alphanumeric file that a Web site puts on your hard drive so that it can remember something about you while you are using the Site or when you return to the Site. Cookies make it easier for you to use our Site. We use a cookie in order to retain the contents in your shopping cart while you are checking out other areas on our Site. When you are done, the products in your cart are still there for you to buy. We also use cookies to gather certain aggregate usage information about the numbers and frequency of visitors to our Site and individual pages of our Site. This data helps us improve the appearance and usability of the Site. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information nor do we combine information collected through these cookies with other personally identifiable information about you.

Gilhooleys, its advertisers and ad servers may also use cookies and other tracking technologies to determine on an anonymous basis which advertisements and promotions our Site users have seen and how users responded to them.

PERSONAL INFORMATION THAT WE COLLECT

We may collect your personally identifiable information, such as your name, address, email address, phone number and credit card number, in the course of processing your order, or when we otherwise communicate with you. For example, through booking forms on our Site and in our catalog, and through signups for our mailing list located in our retail stores and at our wholesale accounts, we collect personally identifiable information necessary for shipping products that you purchase. We also may collect your financial information (like your credit card number and billing address) and your contact information (like your email address, phone number and shipping address).

If you respond voluntarily to a competition, survey or other interactive communications, we collect the responses and use the information to improve the quality and range of our own and/or our supplier’s products and services, or for the purposes of meeting any Notebook or Loyalty membership terms and/or competition terms you have first agreed to.

INFORMATION FROM OTHER SOURCES

Information that you give us may be combined with other personally identifiable information (such as order history and demographic information) from third-party sources to make our marketing efforts more efficient. Examples of other information we receive from third-party sources include updated delivery and address information, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or catalog more easily.

USES OF YOUR INFORMATION

Information that you give us may be used for:

  • Financial information that is collected is used to bill you for products that you request. Contact information from the order form is used to send orders and information about our company to you.

  • If you register for email or if you provide your email address to us, we will send you emails. These emails will inform you of our launch of new products, of special sales, of promotional offers from our partners, of environmental issues we think are important, and of potential employment opportunities with Gilhooleys that you may find of interest, and of other events taking place in our stores near you.

  • We use your shipping address to ship your products to you and to send catalogs and other mailings to you. We use your billing address, if different than your shipping address, to verify your billing information. We never share our customer names or addresses, e-mail addresses or other personally identifiable information, other than to the extent described in the “Disclosures of Your Information” section below.
    You may opt-out of receiving future mailings or emails from us, see the “How to remove your name from our mailing, sharing or email list” section below.

DISCLOSURES OF YOUR INFORMATION

We do not disclose your personal information to other companies, persons or agencies, except for the purposes described below:

  • Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform certain services and functions on our behalf. Examples include operating and maintaining our Site, taking orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and email, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analyzing data, providing marketing consultation and assistance, distributing customer surveys, processing credit card payments, and providing customer service. These companies have access to personal information needed to perform their services or functions, but may not use it for other purposes.

  • Affiliates and Partners: Sometimes we may send offers to selected groups of Gilhooleys customers.

  • For Your Protection and Ours: We may release personally identifiable information when we believe it is appropriate to comply with applicable law regulation, legal process, or governmental request; enforce or apply our Terms of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Gilhooleys, our customers, our employees or others.

  • Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing privacy policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Gilhooleys or substantially all of its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

  • Sharing: We may share your name and postal address with other reputable companies so they may send you catalogs about products of potential interest. We do not share credit card information or email address with these third parties. If you prefer that we not share your name and postal address with other companies, please see “How to remove your name from our mailing, sharing or email list” section below.

  • International and Third Party Disclosure of your Information: Some of our related entities and/or third party service providers are located in countries outside of Australia (including but not limited to United States of America, England, New Zealand, India, China and Philippines). Our contracts with these parties generally include an obligation for them to comply with Australian privacy law and this policy. We will take all reasonable steps necessary to ensure transferred information is kept secure as required by applicable data privacy laws. However, you acknowledge that, by agreeing to the disclosure of your Information to these entities outside of Australia, we will no longer be required to take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient’s compliance with the Australian privacy law in relation to your Information and we will not be liable to you for any breach of the Australian privacy law by these overseas recipients and, on this basis, you consent to such transfer, processing, storage and/or disclosure.

  • With Your Consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have the opportunity to choose not to share the information.
