Vasoro P/L (Trading as Mr Sock) is committed to protecting the privacy of your personal information. This policy outlines our commitments to you in accordance with the Commonwealth Privacy Act (1998) and the ten National Privacy Principles (NPP's) it contains.
The NPP's regulate the manner in which we handle your personal information from initial collection to use and disclosure, storage, accessibility and disposal.
Collection of Personal Information
Mr Sock will only collect your personal information where and when it relates to the provision of services to you and the performance of our business activities. At no time will your personal information be disclosed to another company for that company's independent use.
Whenever Mr Sock collects personal information directly from you or through a third party we will make every reasonable attempt at the time to inform you:
- why we are collecting your information
- to whom we will disclose that information
- of the purpose(s) for which we intend to use that information
Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
In general, the primary purposes for which we collect your personal information include:
- Providing information about upcoming specials and offers
- Responding to sales requests
- Supply of marketing information about our products
Transaction Security
Mr Sock takes the security of your personal information seriously. All personal information entered is transmitted using a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) capable of up to 256-bit encryption. The SSL Certificate is issued by Thawte, one of the most established Certification Authorities worldwide. Through SSL encryption, the certificate assures that information is kept private between the Mr Sock web server and your web browser. The certificate validates that the Mr Sock domain is registered and that the registered owner has authorised the use of SSL technology.
Payment Authorisations are conducted via a payment gateway. Payment Gateways manage the process of transferring authorised credit card funds between different financial accounts. Mr Sock uses Direct Payment Solutions as their payment gateway.
Direct Payment Solutions provide Mr Sock with Payment Gateway Services. For more information click the DPS logo shown.
Data quality and security
In using your personal information in these ways, it may be necessary for us to make disclosure to third parties such as sellers or buyers, mailing houses or market research firms. Where disclosures take place, we employ stringent safeguards to ensure the security of your personal information.
At all times, we will take great care to ensure that your personal information is:
- Accurate, complete and up to date
- Protected, treated confidentially and guarded from unauthorised access
Access to and correction of your personal information
If you believe that we have not dealt with your personal information in a manner that complies with the Privacy Act (1988) you should contact Mr Sock to discuss how we may better deal with it. Similarly, if you wish to access personal information that we hold about you, you may make a request in writing. Should Mr Sock decline your request, we will provide you with reasons for that denial.
