Your Whisky Place Privacy Policy
​
Scope
​
This Privacy Policy applies to any Your Whisky Place website or online application that refers to or links to the Privacy Policy and any other personal information that you provide to us or we otherwise collect (collectively, our “Services”). The Privacy Policy applies regardless of whether you use a computer, mobile phone or device, tablet, or other related technologies and services (collectively and individually, the “Devices”) to access our Services.
​

​
Wong & Lim Pty Ltd as trustee for WJT Design (ABN 84 412 770 543) (“Your Whisky Place,” “we,” “us,” “our”) knows how important privacy is to our customers, and we strive to be clear about how we collect, process, use, disclose, transfer and store your personal information. This Privacy Policy provides an overview of our information practices. The Privacy Policy applies to Your Whisky Place websites or online applications that refer to or link to the Privacy Policy and to any other personal information you provide to us or we otherwise collect.
​
The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the “Privacy Act”) applies to Your Whisky Place’s collection, use and disclosure of your personal information as well as other applicable laws protecting privacy. Where appropriate, Your Whisky Place will handle personal information relying on the employee records exemption and the related bodies corporate exemption in the Privacy Act. While this Privacy Policy applies to all our Services, additional consents may be obtained for specific services or certain uses or disclosures of your personal information.
​
If you receive a product or service from one of our affiliates or your information is otherwise collected by one of our affiliates, that affiliate may have a separate privacy policy. You should refer to that privacy policy for further details about how the affiliate may collect, process, use, disclose and store your information.

This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with, and is subject to: (i) any other privacy or collection statement that Your Whisky Place may provide to you when it collects your personal information or provides a particular Service; and (ii) any terms and conditions of use which govern your access to and use of each of our Services.

Please note that the Privacy Policy applies regardless of whether you use a computer, mobile phone or mobile device, tablet, or other device to access our Services or provide information to us. It is important that you read the Privacy Policy carefully because anytime you use our Services, you consent to the practices we describe in the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to the practices described in the Privacy Policy, you should not use our Services.

It also is important that you regularly check for updates to the Privacy Policy. If we update the Privacy Policy and you use our Services after the update, the new practice(s) identified in the update will apply to your use of the Services, although in certain cases we also may let you know about changes we consider to be material by placing a notice on relevant Services.
You can check the “effective date” posted at the top to see when the Privacy Policy was last updated.

Cookies

  • Cookies are small files that store information on your computer, TV, mobile phone or other device. They enable the entity that put the cookie on your device to recognise you across different websites, services, devices, and/or browsing sessions. Cookies serve many useful purposes. For example:
  • Cookies can remember your sign-in credentials so you don’t have to enter those credentials each time you log on to a service.
  • Cookies help us and third parties understand which parts of our Services are the most popular because they help us to see which pages and features users are accessing and how much time they are spending on the pages. By studying this kind of information, we are better able to adapt the Services and provide you with a better experience.
  • Cookies help us and third parties understand which ads you have seen so that you don’t receive the same ad each time you access a Service.
    Cookies help us and third parties provide you with relevant content and advertising by collecting information about your use of our Services and other websites and apps.

Other Local Storage
We, along with certain third parties, may use other kinds of local storage technologies, such as Local Shared Objects (also referred to as “Flash cookies”) and HTML5 local storage, in connection with our Services. These technologies are similar to cookies, in that they are stored on your device and can be used to store certain information about your activities and preferences. However, these technologies may make use of different parts of your Device from standard cookies, and so you might not be able to configure them using standard browser tools and settings.

Beacons can be embedded in online content, videos, and emails, and can allow a server to read certain types of information from your Device, know when you have viewed particular content or a particular email message, determine the time and date on which you viewed the beacon, and the IP address of your Device. We and certain third parties use beacons for a variety of purposes, including to analyse the use of our Services and (in conjunction with cookies) to provide content and ads that are more relevant to you.
By accessing and using our Services, you acknowledge that this Privacy Policy will apply to the storage of cookies, other local storage technologies, beacons and other information on your Devices and to the access of such cookies, local storage technologies, beacons and information by us and by the third parties mentioned above.

Direct Marketing
We may also use or disclose your personal information to provide you with information about products, promotions, special offers and other information which relates to our Services or which we believe may be of interest to you.
