Use of Cookies

Our website does not use cookies to collect your personal information. Cookies are only used to complete donations on our site. A 'cookie' is a small file which contains a piece of text identifying your browser to our site. It is quite common for online shopping sites to send such a 'cookie', and its purpose is to tell us that a previous visitor to www.dymockschildrenscharities.org.au has returned.

SPAM

Spam is email or other communication that you have not asked for either directly or indirectly. We do not spam people. If we send a communication it will almost certainly be because you have provided us with your contact information and consented to marketing or related communications. If you no longer wish to receive communications you can unsubscribe. Normally this can be done by clicking on the link at the bottom of an email. Where the communication is a text, you can reply to the text and confirm you wish to unsubscribe from text messaging.

Disclosure to third parties

Dymocks does not generally disclose personal information to third parties. In some circumstances personal information may be disclosed to third parties who perform services on behalf of Dymocks for the purpose of managing your support, processing donations and responding to your comments and questions or, in the case of current and potential employees, to assist Dymocks in the management of the employment relationship. Dymocks requires third parties who receive your personal information to comply with Australian Privacy laws. Dymocks does not sell or rent any personal information.

Storage of information

The personal information obtained by Dymocks is stored electronically on servers either controlled by Dymocks or by its contracted third parties who are also bound to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles or laws which offer the same or better protection for your privacy. Dymocks takes measures to ensure your personal information is protected from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, disclosure or alteration. We also take measures to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information when it is no longer required. The types of measures we take vary with the type of information, and how it is collected and stored.

Overseas storage

Most personal information held by Dymocks is held on computer systems located within the Commonwealth of Australia. From time to time information may be stored on servers which are located overseas. When this occurs, Dymocks ensures that the third-party web storage provider will not use the information other than to assist us in providing services to you and that they are bound to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles or more stringent standards.
