Updated August 2024

This Privacy Policy explains how and when the above companies (‘Scriptive’, ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’) collect, use, store, and distribute personal information and credit card information about you, whether in person, online, or over the phone.

Scriptive recognises that your personal information is important to you and shares your concerns about how information is collected, used, and shared. We are committed to safeguarding your personal information and will always handle it securely and carefully.

This Privacy Policy is based on Part IIIA of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and complies with the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) 2012 (Cth), as these may be amended from time to time (together the Privacy Act).

Why we collect information

We will collect and use your personal information for our business purposes, including:

• to deliver goods and services to you, including via email or phone;
• to complete transactions with you or on your behalf;
• to better understand your requirements and preferences;
• to improve our business;
• to promote our goods and services;
• to enhance the delivery of our services;
• to communicate with you; and
• to undertake any warranty claims relating to our goods and/or services.

How we collect this information

We collect personal information in several fair and lawful ways through your use of our website, when you visit us, and when you communicate with us. Some of the information we collect is anonymous and relates to general interactions with Scriptive. Some of the information we collect is ‘Personally Identifiable Information’ (‘Personal Information’). Your communications with us, whether in person or online, including your responses to online forms, surveys, or contest participation, and any other information you supply in such communications may be retained by us to help improve our business. Personal Information is stored and managed by us electronically and in hard copy. We collect information from you when you:

• order and purchase goods and services from us;
• use our website;
• ask for a quote;
• subscribe to our mailing list or otherwise submit information to us;
• submit a job application or resume;
• complete one of our surveys or respond to requests for information as part of a promotion; and
• submit a request for information via our website, and by other methods from time to time.

We may also collect information from third parties about you.

What we collect

Personal Information we collect can include your:

• name, sex, and contact details (such as telephone number and email address);
• residential address, city, state, postcode, area code, gender, age, purchase history, income, and other details that will help us develop and stock products and services that might appeal to you; and
• products and services from Scriptive (and third parties) that you already own, have already received, or are currently receiving, including date and place of purchase.

How we may use and disclose your personal information

Scriptive may disclose your Personal Information:

• for the primary purposes for which it was collected such as those described above in this Privacy Policy;
• where you would reasonably expect this;
• where you have consented;
• to the extent that it is required to do so by law, in connection with any legal proceedings or prospective legal proceedings, and in order to establish, exercise, or defend its legal rights;
• for direct marketing by Scriptive, but giving you the opportunity to opt-out of such direct marketing, as Scriptive includes an unsubscribe option in all marketing communications.

If you would like to unsubscribe from receiving our communications, please contact us at contact@scriptive.com.au.

Scriptive uses information you supply to allow us to provide our goods and services to you. We will share your information with our employees, contractors, and third-party marketing, business, and IT service providers we use to provide our goods and services. We will require third parties who have access to information we collect to agree in writing to store and manage that information on terms consistent with this Privacy Policy.

Some of our product suppliers and IT service suppliers are located overseas. Your personal information may be transferred overseas to allow us to conduct our business, but only to the extent permitted under this Privacy Policy. By supplying your personal information to Scriptive, you consent to cross-border transfers of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Collection and Use of Credit Card Information

Scriptive does not collect any financial information. As part of your use of a credit card to make a purchase, Scriptive will collect credit card information as part of the Scriptive purchase process. Scriptive may need to provide this information to a third party in order to process your payment. Any third parties that are granted access to your credit card information will only be granted such access to the extent needed to perform their functions. Scriptive warrants that it will use its best endeavours to ensure that all credit card information is stored securely.

Sensitive Information

Scriptive does not collect sensitive information unless it is specifically relevant and reasonably necessary for the purpose of our business operations and your consent is first obtained. All sensitive information that is collected is used in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Holding and Security

Scriptive takes the security of your information very seriously. Scriptive holds your personal information and credit card information in physical form or electronic form in our systems or the systems of service providers. We protect your personal information and credit card information from misuse or loss by restricting access to the information in the electronic format by appropriate physical and communications security measures, such as encrypted rights of access. Any information is disposed of in a manner that protects the privacy of information in an appropriate manner.
