Last updated on 27 August 2014

Introduction

HIVE OF ACTIVITY PTY LTD A.C.N. 167 040 422 (‘we’) want you to be familiar with how we collect, use and disclose information from and about you. We adhere to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information collected through all of our services including the sale of skin and cosmetic products, websites such as www.debee.com.au all related websites, mobile sites, applications and social media pages (collectively the ‘Services’).

By using the Services you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy.

We will update this privacy policy when our information handling practices change. Updates will be publicised on our website.

What information do we collect

We collect personal information needed to provide the Services. ‘Personal information’ means information we hold about you from which your identity is clear or can be reasonably determined. If you choose not to provide certain personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with the Services you have requested.

In most cases we will ask for your express consent to collect personal information from you, but in some cases we may infer consent from your actions or behaviour in connection with the Services.

The following are the main types of personal information collected by us and the main purposes for which they are collected:

Information provided direct to us

This includes information that you provide to us in the course of registering for or acquiring a Service, for example to purchase our goods or subscribe for information .
This information may include, for example, your name, date of birth, contact details (including address, email address, telephone number), occupation and gender.
It includes information, which you provide to us in the course of that relationship and through your use of the Services.
Where possible you may have the option of interacting with us anonymously (for example when browsing our Services as a casual user) or using a pseudonym. We will endeavour to make it clear whenever this is an option.

Public information

Public information and posts consist of comments or content that you post to the Services and the information about you that accompanies those posts or content, which may include a name, username, comments, likes, tweets, status, profile information and picture(s).
This information is always public and therefore available to everyone.

Information from third party social media

If you access or log in to a Service through a third party social media service or connect a Service to a third party social media service, you are authorising us to collect, store, use and disclose certain information (in accordance with this Privacy Policy) which may include your user ID and/or username associated with that social media service, any information or content you have permitted the third party social media service to share with us, such as your profile picture, email address, friends lists, and any information you have disclosed in connection with that social media service.
We do not collect your passwords other than in relation to our own Services.

Activity information – cookies and other technologies

When you access and interact with the Services, we may collect certain information about those visits. For example, in order to permit your connection to the Services, our servers receive and record information about your computer, device and browser including potentially your IP address, browser type, and other software or hardware information.
If you access the Services from a mobile or other device, we may collect a unique device identifier assigned to that device, location data, or other transactional information from that device.
Cookies and other tracking technologies are comprised of small bits of data or code. Some websites, applications and other services that you access send this data to your browser and then store the data on your computer.
These technologies are often used as a means of remembering your preferences. They may be used to collect and store information such as pages you have visited, content you have viewed, search queries you have run and advertisements you have viewed in relation to your usage of the Services and other websites you have visited.
Most browsers are initially set to accept cookies, but you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the ‘Help’ section of your browser for more information.
Please note that by blocking any or all cookies you may not have access to certain features, content or personalisation available through the Services.

Information of children

We will not knowingly collect, use or disclose personal information from a minor without obtaining prior consent from a person with parental responsibility (such as a parent or guardian).
We will use reasonable efforts to verify parental consent prior to the collection and use of personal information from children. Consent may take a variety of forms including offline contact through printing and submitting a permission form, or online consent such as by ticking an online check box that parental or guardian consent has been obtained.
We do not require parental consent in order to collect and use contact information to respond to a child’s one off specific request or to request the name or contact information of a parent or guardian for the purpose of verifying parental consent.
We will allow parents or guardians to review any personal information collected from their children, subject to verifying the identify of the consenting parent or guardian.
Parents and guardians may revoke their consent and delete information collected from their children at their discretion.

Information from other sources

We may supplement the information we collect with information from other sources, such as commercially available sources and data providers, as well as information from our business partners or related companies.

Information in relation to other persons

When you apply for a job or contract with us we may collect certain information from you or from any recruitment consultant, your previous employers and others who may be able to provide information to assist us in deciding whether or not to make you an offer of employment or engage you under a contract.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to acts and practices in relation to employee records of our current and former employees which are exempt from the Privacy Act 1988.
We may also collect personal information about individuals who are, or are employed by, our suppliers (including service and content providers), contractors, dealers, related companies, agents and corporate customers. Generally, where appropriate, we will state why we are collecting personal information when we collect it and how we plan to use it, or these things will be obvious when we collect the information.

When you give us your personal information, it imposes a serious responsibility on us. Protecting your privacy when handling your personal information is fundamental to the way we serve you.

How do we use your information

We use the information we collect from and about you to offer and provide the Services to you, including: to measure and improve those Services; to improve your experience with the Services; to allow you to participate in the; and to respond to your queries.

When you are not reasonably identifiable in relation to the information collected from or about you, we may use that information for any purpose or share it with third parties. We may also de-identify the information we collect about you so that we can use and disclose it without using or revealing any personal information about you.

We also use the information we collect from and about you for these additional purposes:

To provide Services to you

We will use your information to provide Services to you, to enter into contracts with you and to improve Services.
We may use and disclose your personal information in other ways expressly disclosed at the point of collection.

Disclosure to service providers

We may make your information available to certain third party service and content providers such as providers of website hosting service providers, marketing services, market research analytical modellers, mailing operations, legal advisers, who help us to provide the Services.
These third parties may be located overseas. We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information no matter where it is stored. Notwithstanding that, security of communications over the internet cannot be guaranteed. If these overseas organisations are required to disclose your information under a foreign law, we will not be responsible for that disclosure.

To provide co-branded services

We may offer co-branded Services, such as promotions together with a client or third party. These co-branded services may be hosted on the Services or on the third party’s services.
By virtue of these relationships, we may share the information you submit in connection with the co-branded service with the third party.
The third party’s use of your information will be governed by the third party’s privacy policy. We will advise you when this is occurring or obtain your express consent to share your personal information in these circumstances.

To communicate with you

We may use the information we collect from and about you to deliver relevant ads to you when you use the Services.
We may periodically send promotional materials or notifications which we believe might be of interest to you. These may include invitations to participate in various Services or activities such as consumer surveys, campaigns or promotions.
This marketing may be carried out in a variety of ways (including by direct mail, email, SMS/MMS, or social media or by customising online content and displaying advertising on the Services) and may continue after you cease acquiring any Services from us until you opt out.

To share

We may share your information with our related companies.
Where we share your information with our related companies, they may use your information in the same way as we can under this Privacy Policy.
If we sell all or part of the business or are otherwise involved in a merger or transfer of the business, we may transfer or disclose your information to the party or parties involved in the transaction and as part of any due diligence processes which may take place in contemplation of a potential transaction.

To protect one’s rights

We may disclose your information in situations where we have a good faith belief that such disclosure is necessary in order to:

Protect the safety, privacy and security of users of the Services or members of the public;
Protect against fraud or for risk management purposes; or
Comply with the order of a court, the law or legal process in any country.

How do we protect your information

We use commercially reasonable administrative, technical, personnel and physical measures to safeguard information in our possession against loss, theft and unauthorised use, disclosure or modification.

We use the industry standard encryption software, Secured Socket Layer (SSL) 128 bit encryption. We also employ software programs to monitor network traffic in order to identify unauthorised attempts to upload or change information, or otherwise cause damage.

Despite our every effort to protect your personal information, there remains the possibility that a breach of our security could occur and we therefore cannot guarantee the complete safety of your information.

In the event of loss of personal information, we will:

Seek to rapidly identify and secure the breach to prevent any further breaches;
Engage the appropriate authorities where criminal activity is suspected;
Assess the nature and severity of the breach including the type of personal information involved and the risk of harm to affected individuals;
Notify the affected individuals directly if appropriate and where possible; and
Notify the Privacy Commissioner (at the OAIC) if the breach is significant.

How to access your personal information

In your request, please clearly state what information you would like to access, review, correct or update. We will try to respond to your request as soon as reasonably practicable.

Your right to access your personal information is not absolute. The law permits us to refuse your request to provide you with access to your personal information in circumstances where:

Access would pose a serious threat to the life or health of any individual;
Access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others;
The request is frivolous;
The information relates to a commercially sensitive decision making process;
Access would be unlawful;
Access may prejudice enforcement activities, a security function or commercial negotiations.
