CUSTOMERS

How and why does Florsheim Australia collect and hold your personal information?

FLAU will only collect personal information about you by lawful and fair means, and not in an unreasonably intrusive manner.

We may collect personal information about you from a third party or a publicly available source, but only if you have consented to such collection, or would reasonably expect us to collect your personal information in this way.

Where we can, we will allow you to deal with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym. However, in some circumstances, this may not be possible, and FLAU may need to collect personal information from you to provide you with a delivery or other service. In some cases, if you do not provide the required personal information, we will not be able to provide you with a service.

If we receive information about you from a third party and it is not information we need in respect of our business activities, we will destroy or de-identify that information (provided it is lawful to do so).

What kind of personal information does FLAU collect and hold?

Any personal information that you provide directly or via other channels is collected and managed by FLAU.

If you provide your personal information to a third party via a link from an FLAU website, that information is collected and managed by those third parties which are not related to FLAU.

written or verbal contact with FLAU, including voice recordings of telephone conversations you have had with our employees; and
activities, including but not limited to lifestyle and other interests.

Whilst you may opt not to provide us with your personal information, you should be aware that without this personal information, we may not be able to provide you with some of the services and/or products you are seeking.

If you provide us with information about any third party, you must obtain that third party's permission to give us the information and inform them that you have given the information to us.

How does FLAU use your personal information?

We use your personal information for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to the following:

to consider making offers for employment purposes;
to manage and resolve any legal, consumer or commercial complaints and issues;
to carry out internal functions including training; and
to conduct marketing research and analysis.

In what circumstances will FLAU disclose your personal information?

In the course of conducting our business and providing our products and services to you, we may disclose your personal information.

We only disclose personal information for the purposes for which it was given to us, or for purposes which are directly related to one of our functions or activities. We do not give it to anyone else unless one of the following applies:

you have consented to the disclosure;
you would reasonably expect, or have been told, that your information is passed to those individuals, businesses, or agencies; or
it is otherwise required or authorised by law.

If we engage third party agents or contractors, we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that they do not breach privacy requirements in relation to the information, before we share your personal information with them.

Who do we disclose your personal information to?

We may disclose your personal information to:

another FLAU business or entity;
to companies that perform services on our behalf, such as delivery companies, data entry service providers, trade promotion or gift card administration and account management providers;
professional advisers (such as lawyers or auditors);
payment systems operators and financial institutions;
organisations authorised by FLAU to conduct promotional, research or marketing activities;
upon lawful request from law enforcement agencies or government authorities; and
any persons acting on your behalf including those persons nominated by you, executors, trustees and legal representatives.

In all circumstances where your personal information is disclosed, we will take all steps reasonable to ensure that these third parties undertake to protect your privacy.

Direct Marketing

We are committed to compliance with all laws and requirements relating to the use of your personal information. We will only use or disclose your personal information for direct marketing purposes if you have provided your information for that purpose (and you would expect us to use the information for that purpose), or if you have provided consent for your information to be used in this way.

From time to time, we may contact you with information about products and services offered by us and our related entities and our business partners, which we think may be of interest to you. When we contact you it may be by mail, telephone, email, SMS/text message or social media message.

Where we use or disclose your personal information for the purpose of direct marketing, we will:

allow you to request not to receive direct marketing communications (also known as ‘opting-out’); and
comply with your request to ‘opt-out’ of receiving further communications within a reasonable timeframe.
