The information we collect
We lawfully collect personal information that is necessary for our business to function. The information we collect and hold will depend upon the products and services you request from us and may include:
  • Information you provide us when you purchase goods or services. This information will include your name, address and other contact details.

We also require you to submit a username and password of your choice for your future access to your account information. To safeguard that your username and password remain confidential, do not share this information with anyone.

The use of the facilities and services available through our website will determine the amount and type of information we collect. The only personal information we collect when you use our website is what you tell us about yourself, for example, by completing an online form when you purchase a product, or when you send us an email.

How we use your information
Protecting your privacy is very important to us and we will not sell or share your personal information with any third party business unless required by law. The only exception to this is those businesses with whom we interact in order to complete your transaction, for example Australia Post.

Generally we will only use and disclose your personal information:
  • To establish and maintain your relationship as a customer of Ortensia Sewing Supplies.
  • To provide the products and services you have requested from Ortensia Sewing Supplies.
  • To administer and manage those products and services.

Security
Security is extremely important to us and we will take all reasonable steps to keep secure any personal information that we hold and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Personal information is stored in a secure server or secure files.

The Internet is not always a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, Ortensia Sewing Supplies cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to, or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorized access or use of that information.
