LUXAMAX Privacy Policy
LUXAMAX Pty Limited (ABN: 42658159007) (LUXAMAX) is committed to the protection and privacy of any personal information that you may give us. We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.
In this Privacy Policy, we explain how we handle your personal information. We try to be clear in our explanation but if you have any questions after reading it, please contact our Data Privacy Officer (contact details are below).
- What is personal information and why do we ask for it?
‘Personal Information’ and ‘Sensitive Information’ have the same meaning as in the Privacy Act 1988. Personal information includes any information that can be used to personally identify you.
Personal information is used by LUXAMAX to sell our goods and services, to improve our range, offerings, and employment opportunities. LUXAMAX will link the personal information you provide across our digital services in order to provide you with a personal experience.
We will also use your information to track your behaviour on the LUXAMAX website. This may include the products or pages you have viewed and/or the products in your online shopping cart. By doing this we can provide a browsing experience that is relevant to you, provide stock availability and when you have provided consent, send you marketing communication or specific offers based on your interests or online behaviour.
If we receive Personal information that LUXAMAX has not asked for or we decide is not reasonably needed, we will aim to de-identify or delete this information to protect your privacy.
You are able to create a profile which enables you to purchase LUXAMAX products and services without having to provide your personal information every time you shop online with us.
If you have agreed we will send you information about products, services, and offers that we think may be of interest to you. The methods of communication we offer are via email, SMS, phone calls, mobile applications, web, social media, or via post. If you have told us that you prefer a way of us contacting you, we will try to use that method wherever possible.
Changing your preferences
You can “opt-out” of marketing communications at any time by replying in the same way that you received the communication, updating your LUXAMAX Account online, or by contacting the Data Privacy Officer (contact details below).
