Ecosa Website Privacy Policy
Effective Date: July 1, 2021
Ecosa Group Pty. Ltd. (ABN 68 604 828 766)
This Privacy Policy applies to ecosa.com (the “Site”) and all other websites owned and operated by Ecosa Group Pty. Ltd. The term “Ecosa,” “we,” and “us” includes Ecosa Group Pty. Ltd. and our affiliates and subsidiaries.
The Privacy Policy explains how Ecosa may:
- collect,
- use, and
- disclose
Personal Information (defined below) we obtain through the Site, your communications with us, or from third parties. It also describes the choices available to you regarding the use of, your access to, and how to update and correct your personal information.
“Personal Information” means information that alone or when in combination with other information may be used to readily identify, contact, or locate you, such as: name, address, email address, or phone number. We do not consider Personal Information to include information that has been anonymized such that it does not allow a third party to easily identify a specific individual.
The site collects your information
We collect Personal Information when you choose to provide it to us including when you:
Register an account
The Site gives you the option of creating a user account (an “Account”). If you decide to create an Account, you will provide us with certain Personal Information, such as your user name and password. You are not required to register to use the Site.
Purchase an Ecosa product
When you purchase an Ecosa product using the Site, you are given the option of logging into an Account or checking out as a guest. In either case, when you purchase an Ecosa product, you will provide us with Personal Information, such as your name, email address, and shipping address.
Make a payment
When you make a payment through the Site, you may need to provide Personal Information to our third-party payment processors. Such Personal Information may include sensitive Personal Information, such as your credit card number.
Submit information to the Site
We collect information you submit to the Site. For example, when you post a review of an Ecosa product on the Site or refer a friend to Ecosa using the Site, the Site will collect the information in your submission to the Site, including any Personal Information. If you choose to submit content to any public area of the Site, such content will be considered “public” and will not be subject to the privacy protections set forth herein.
Communicate with us
We may also collect Personal Information from you when you communicate with us. For example, you may send us Personal Information by writing an email to us, subscribing to the Ecosa newsletter, or making a reservation for an event hosted by Ecosa. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that correspondence.
