This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by Expella Pty Ltd via the website located at www.expella.com.au.

What is “personal information”?

(a) The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) currently defines “personal information” as meaning information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable:

            (i) whether the information or opinion is true or not; and

(ii) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

(b) If information does not disclose your identity or enable your identity to be ascertained, it will in most cases not be classified as “personal information” and will not be subject to this privacy policy.

What information do we collect?

The kind of personal information that we collect from you will depend on how you use the website. The personal information which we may collect and hold about you includes: your name, contact details, mailing and delivery addresses, email address, and any other personally identifiable information that you have provided us in any form you may have submitted to us, or in the course of any other forms of interaction between you and us.

If you provide us with personal information relating to a third-party by submitting such personal information to us, you represent to us that you have obtained the consent of the third-party to provide us with their personal information for the respective purposes.

How we collect your personal information

(b) We may collect personal information from you whenever you interact with us on our social media pages, such as liking our posts, commenting on our posts and private messaging us on our social media.

(c) We also collect cookies from your device which enables us to tell when you use the website and also to help customize your website experience.

We do not directly collect your credit card details to process your payment or for customer service purposes. Your credit card details are collected, processed and stored directly by our third-party payment processors pursuant to their terms of use and privacy policies.

We will only use your personal information for this purpose if we have collected such information directly from you, and if it is material of a type which you would reasonably expect to receive from us. We do not use sensitive personal information in direct marketing activity. Our direct marketing material will include a simple means by which you can request not to receive further communications of this nature.
