Privacy Policy

If you use this Site, you have agreed to the Privacy Policy of Crowbar Brisbane, which is set out below.

Crowbar Brisbane will review its Privacy Policy from time to time and reserves the right to modify or delete portions of the policy at any time. Therefore, you should review this page periodically. If you have any comments, please email us to discuss.

Crowbar Brisbane is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information that we collect about the visitors to our site and abides by the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Personal Information

We do collect personal information about visitors to our site. However, you will have to submit this information voluntarily. For example, we may need to collect such information to provide you with information or a product you requested. Crowbar Brisbane may engage in activities with business partners and sponsors with whom your personal information may be shared. Therefore, in such situations, we recommend that you review the privacy policy of our business partner or sponsor.

We are not responsible for the practices or content of websites that are operated by third parties that are linked to our site. Such links are for convenience only. If we are linked to third-party sites, it does not constitute sponsorship, endorsement, or approval by Crowbar Brisbane of the content, policies, or practices of those sites. If you leave our site via such a link, you should check the privacy policy of the third-party site.

Use of Personal Information

The personal information that visitors to our site give us will be used for the purpose for which it is submitted unless we disclose other uses in this Privacy Policy or at the time we collect your personal information.

Use of Personal Information by Third Parties

Crowbar Brisbane may use third parties to manage activities that may be on our site from time to time, including, but not limited to, promotions and statistical analysis. These parties may have access to the personal information submitted by visitors who participate in those activities. Similarly, we may contract with third parties to handle requests for information that is submitted to our site. For instance, we may send you a newsletter. Crowbar Brisbane will, in most cases, instruct these third parties to use this personal information only for the specific purpose for which we collected it.

If Crowbar Brisbane has a bulletin board or chat room, any information posted or communicated through it will become public information. While we strive to protect your privacy, we cannot guarantee the security of any information disclosed on a bulletin board or in a chat room.

Use of Information as Aggregate Data

We reserve the right to collect certain non-personal information, which may optimise our web pages for your computer. The type of information would include the identity of your internet browser, your IP address, the type of operating system you use, and the domain name of your ISP. We may use such non-personal information for internal purposes, including improving our site.

Crowbar Brisbane may use personal information in aggregate form to improve our site. We may compile statistics and analyse information. Crowbar Brisbane also may provide such information to others, in the form of a summary, for purposes such as marketing, advertising, or research. For example, we may wish to state in our summary that X number of people visited our site on a particular day and Y number clicked on an advertiser’s banner advertisement.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Crowbar Brisbane may disclose personal information in situations where we reasonably believe it is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering with our rights, either intentionally or unintentionally. Of course, if the law requires we disclose personal information, we will.

The Right of Access and Correction

Generally speaking, you may access the personal information Crowbar Brisbane holds about you. If any of that information is incorrect, you can have it corrected. If you have provided us with your personal information and later decide that you would no longer like to receive information from us, follow the “unsubscribe” directions at the end of any email communication you receive from us.

Cookies

Data that a website transfers to an individual’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes is called Cookies. Crowbar Brisbane uses industry-standard Cookies, which enables us to track usage patterns. We typically do this to compile data to improve the content of our site and to better target any advertising. If you do not want information collected through the use of Cookies, most browsers allow for a simple procedure to deny or accept the Cookie feature. However, Cookies may be necessary to place orders.

Security Statement

Security is probably one of the most significant concerns for both the shopper and the retailer during an online transaction. In reality, an online transaction is probably more secure than a card transaction in a shop or conducted over the telephone or by fax, as the information transmitted online is highly encrypted using complicated logarithmic combinations.

Your personal information is protected by law. These laws prohibit any person from accessing, using, or disclosing any personal information in the possession of Crowbar Brisbane unless it is in the performance of their duties or is in accordance with these laws. Penalties apply to those who fail to observe these provisions. If you send your credit card details through the checkout process, be assured that industry-standard encryption is used.

The encryption process used by Crowbar Brisbane is Secure Socket Layer (SSL). For SSL encryption to work, your browser must support SSL. Freely available browsers that support SSL include Netscape version 6.0 or later, Firefox version 1.0 or later, and Microsoft Internet Explorer Version 4.0 or later.

While Crowbar Brisbane endeavours to provide a secure internet environment, users should note that there are inherent risks associated with the transmission of information via the internet. Crowbar Brisbane provides alternative ways to obtain and provide information for those who do not wish to use public networks such as the internet. Please visit our contacts page for further details.

Note: Any link to an external site is provided for your information and convenience only. Crowbar Brisbane does not endorse, monitor, or control such sites (or any associated organisation, product, or service) and is not responsible for their content, or your access or use of them. Without limiting the foregoing, you are advised to review their privacy and security statements and take precautions to ensure any content is accurate and downloaded software is safe.

Data Storage

Crowbar Brisbane does not store any sensitive information on its servers. Data storage on our payment gateway (PayPal) and the communication between our payment gateway and the worldwide banking networks is regularly audited by the banking authorities to ensure a secure transaction environment. We also ensure that we stay up-to-date with the latest versions of any third-party code we use and continually review our own proprietary code.
