Privacy Policy
This site is owned by The Bulk Warehouse. This Privacy Policy
is designed to tell you about our practices regarding collection, use, and
disclosure of information that you may provide via this site. Please be sure to
read this entire Privacy Policy before using or submitting information to this
site. This site is intended for use by residents of Australia.
Your Consent
By using this site, you agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy. Whenever
you submit information via this site, you consent to the collection, use, and
disclosure of that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
About Children
This site is not intended for children under the age of 13. We will not
knowingly collect information from site visitors in this age group. We encourage
parents to talk to their children about their use of the Internet and the
information they disclose to Web sites.
Active Information Collection
Like many Web sites, this site actively collects information from its visitors
both by asking you specific questions and by permitting you to communicate
directly with us via e-mail, feedback forms, and/or chat rooms. Some of the
information that you submit may be personally identifiable information (that is,
information that can be uniquely identified with you, such as your full name,
address, e-mail address, phone number, and so on).
Some areas of this site may require you to submit information in order for you
to benefit from the specified features (such as newsletter subscriptions, tips/pointers,
order processing) or to participate in a particular activity (such as
sweepstakes or other promotions). You will be informed at each information
collection point what information is required and what information is optional.
Passive Information Collection
As you navigate through a Web site, certain information can be passively
collected (that is, gathered without you actively providing the information)
using various technologies and means, such as Internet Protocol addresses,
cookies, Internet tags, and navigational data collection.
We use Internet Protocol (IP) addresses on this site. An IP Address is a number
assigned to your computer by your Internet service provider so you can access
the Internet and is generally considered to be non-personally identifiable
information, because in most cases an IP address is dynamic (changing each time
you connect to the Internet), rather than static (unique to a particular user's
computer). We use your IP address to diagnose problems with our server, report
aggregate information, determine the fastest route for your computer to use in
connecting to our site, and administer and improve the site.
A "cookie" is a bit of information that a Web site sends to your Web browser
that helps the site remember information about you and your preferences.
"Session" cookies are temporary bits of information that are erased once you
exit your Web browser window or otherwise turn your computer off. Session
cookies are used to improve navigation on Web sites and to collect aggregate
statistical information. This site uses session cookies.
"Persistent" cookies are more permanent bits of information that are placed on
the hard drive of your computer and stay there unless you delete the cookie.
Persistent cookies store information on your computer for a number of purposes,
such as retrieving certain information you have previously provided (e.g.,
passwords), helping to determine what areas of the Web site visitors find most
valuable, and customizing the Web site based on your preferences. This site uses
persistent cookies.
"Internet tags" (also known as single-pixel GIFs, clear GIFs, invisible GIFs,
and 1-by-1 GIFs) are smaller than cookies and tell the Web site server
information such as the IP address and browser type related to the visitor's
computer. We use Internet tags at this site. Tags have been placed both on
online advertisements that bring people to the site and on different pages of
the site. These tags indicate how many times a page is opened and which
information is consulted. We do not collect or seek personally identifiable
information through these tags.
"Navigational data" ("log files," "server logs," and "clickstream" data) are
used for system management, to improve the content of the site, market research
purposes, and to communicate information to visitors. This site uses
navigational data.
Use and Disclosure of Information
Except as otherwise stated, we may use your information to improve the content
of our site, to customize the site to your preferences, to communicate
information to you (if you have requested it), for our marketing and research
purposes, and for the purposes specified in this Privacy Policy.
If you provide personally identifiable information to this site, we may combine
such information with other actively collected information unless we specify
otherwise at the point of collection. We will take reasonable measures to
prevent personally identifiable information from being combined with passively
collected information, unless you consent otherwise.
We may disclose your personally identifiable information in accordance with this
Privacy Policy. In addition, we may disclose your personally identifiable
information to third parties, located in Australia and/or any other country but
only
- To contractors we use to support our business (e.g., fulfillment services,
technical support, delivery services, and financial institutions), in which
case we will require such third parties to agree to treat it in accordance
with this Privacy Policy;
- In connection with the sale, assignment, or other transfer of the business
of this site to which the information relates, in which case we will require
any such buyer to agree to treat it in accordance with this Privacy Policy; or
- Where required by applicable laws, court orders, or government regulations.
In addition, we will make full use of all information acquired through this site
that is not in personally identifiable form.
Online surveys and
contests
Sometimes we conduct user surveys to find out how we can improve our site
for you. We may share non-personal information about our users with
partners or other third parties. For example, we might disclose that a
certain percentage of our users are female. But we will not sell personal
information to or share any personal information with an unrelated third
party without your consent. Sometimes we and our sponsors offer contests
and sweepstakes in which we request certain personal information. For
example, a sponsor might require your name and e-mail address to
participate in a contest. Because the rules and terms of each promotion
can vary, all information about the contest is posted during the event,
and those disclosures shall override anything to the contrary in this
policy.
General security
Your credit card, your
personal information, and your password are safe. We use the latest
encryption technologies, rigorous password protections, and limits on the
number of people who have access to your information, all to guard against
unauthorized access to your data.
Access and Correction
To keep your personally identifiable information accurate, current, and
complete, please contact us as specified below. We will take reasonable steps to
update or correct personally identifiable information in our possession that you
have previously submitted via this site.
Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personally identifiable information as
you transmit your information from your computer to our site and to protect such
information from loss, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration,
or destruction. You should keep in mind that no Internet transmission is ever
100% secure or error-free. In particular, e-mail sent to or from this site may
not be secure, and you should therefore take special care in deciding what
information you send to us via e-mail. Moreover, where you use passwords, ID
numbers, or other special access features on this site, it is your
responsibility to safeguard them.
Links to Other Web Sites
This site may contain links or references to other Web sites. Please be aware
that we do not control other Web sites and that, in any case, this Privacy
Policy does not apply to those Web sites. We encourage you to read the privacy
policy of every Web site you visit.
Other Terms
Your use of this site and our services is subject to our
Terms and Conditions and Disclaimer
