We use the industry standard TLS (Transport Layer Security) certificate, sometimes referred to as an SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol, which encrypts information as it is transmitted over the internet. This encryption scrambles details such as credit card numbers, billing details and delivery addresses so that other computers should be unable to decipher the information, ensuring privacy and security.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and your computer. Ensure you sign out when you have finished visiting our websites especially if you have accessed the websites from a shared computer.

We will endeavour to ensure that you receive an acknowledgment from us within 7 days confirming receipt of your complaint.
Once you have submitted your complaint we will assess it to determine whether or not you have complained about a privacy issue which is covered by the Privacy Act. If you have complained about something which is not appropriately dealt with under that Act, we will write to you and explain why our Privacy Manager is unable to address your complaint.
If you have complained about something which the Privacy Act covers, we will investigate your complaint, including ascertaining the relevant facts and what your expectations are for any resolution.
