Privacy Policy

The Scarf Company values our relationship with you and the other users of this website. We recognize that you may be concerned about how we collect, hold, use, and disclose your personal information. We have implemented this Privacy Policy to inform you of the personal information that we collect from you, how we collect and hold this information, and what we do with it after we collect it. If you have any questions or comments regarding this Privacy Policy, please contact us via our contact us page, email us via media@thescarfcpmpany.com.au.

Personal information that we collect and how.

The personal information we collect from you and hold includes information that is necessary in order for us to offer goods or services to you and to delivery these goods and services. This includes your Name, Address, Telephone Number and E-mail address.

We collect personal information directly from you and very occasionally via 3rd Party Suppliers. In other instances, we may collect personal information directly from you when you contact us (for example, when you make a telephone enquiry) and when you use our Web Site or use our mobile Apps.

Personal information is also collected directly from you via a series of forms which you complete including:

a) Membership Registration
Our site’s registration form requires you to provide us contact information (email address) and may occasionally require demographic information. At this time you may withhold certain information if you so wish such as your real name and act under a pseudonym. We do not require any other personal information at this stage.

b) Passwords
You are responsible for all actions taken with your username, email address and password. Therefore we do not recommend that you disclose your password to any third parties. If you choose to share your username, email address and password or your information with third parties to provide you additional services, you are responsible for all actions taken with this information and therefore you should review that third party’s privacy policy.

We may require further personal information and will prompt you to supply us with that information such as your address and contact details when you place an order as detailed above.

How we hold your personal information.
Information that we hold about you is held in a firewall protected, restricted user access database. We carry out regular user access audits, access logging and daily PCI scanning.

How we ensure we have accurate information.

We rely upon you to correctly insert your personal information and provide you with the ability both to view and to amend that personal information as detailed below.

If you would like to access any other personal information which we hold about you or if you would like to seek the correction of that information, you can do by contacting us via our contact us page, email us via media@thescarfcompany.com.au
