Saving Mum Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the activities of Saving Mum
(ABN 57 843 605 011) ("Saving Mum")

1. Your personal information is important to us

Saving Mum recognises the importance of your privacy, and that you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. Unless you directly give us consent to do otherwise, Saving Mum will only collect and use your personal information as set out below.

Saving Mum's privacy policy is intended to represent industry best practice and comply fully with the Privacy Act 1988.

2. Collecting information about you

Saving Mum will not collect or monitor any personal information about you without your consent. The only personal information we collect is what you tell us about yourself and information about how you use our website, for example by what pages you visit on our site and your IP address. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that contact.

The advantage of giving this information is that it allows us to tailor your experience of our website to your personal interests.

Any further collection of your personal information than that explained here will only occur with your consent.

3. Our use of cookies

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer's hard disk for record keeping purposes. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies. Saving Mum uses cookies to make your use of our website and services as convenient as possible. Cookies in and of themselves do not personally identify users, although they do identify a user's browser. Cookies are useful to estimate our number of members and determine overall traffic patterns through our website.

If you do not wish to receive any cookies you may set your browser to refuse cookies. This may mean you will not be able to take full advantage of Saving Mum's services.

4. Using and disclosing your personal information

Your personal information is confidential. Our purpose in collecting information about you is to provide you with a better website experience with content and advertising that is more relevant to your interests. Saving Mum will not use or disclose any information about you without your consent, unless:

- required by law;
- to implement our terms of service;
- to protect the rights, property or personal safety of another Saving Mum user, any member of the public or Saving Mum; or
- the assets and operations of the business are transferred to another party as a going concern.

In seeking to give you the most worthwhile experience of our website possible, Saving Mum may use your personal information to send you information and product updates about products or services which you have requested.

When you provide your personal information to us, Saving Mum will give you the choice as to whether or not you wish to receive further information about special offers, promotions, and changes to our products and services. If you indicate that you do not wish to receive these, we will not contact you further for these purposes. Please allow 28 days for your request to be processed.

5. We will not 'spam' you

We may contact you at the email or other address which you provide to us in order to:
- Provide you with updated information about our website; or
- Provide you with other information about our products and services which you may enjoy.
We will not send you 'spam' (promotional information) without first asking you whether you wish to have promotional information sent to you.

6. You can access the information we keep about you

If at any time you want to know exactly what personal information we hold about you, you are welcome to access your record by e-mailing us at either amy@savingmum.com.au or tiana@savingmum.com.au. Our file of your information will be made available to you within 14 days.

7. Changing and deleting the information we have about you

If at any time you wish to change personal information that is inaccurate or out of date, please contact us by e-mailing us at amy@savingmum.com.au or tiana@savingmum.com.au, and we will amend this record. If you wish to have your personal information deleted, please let us know in the same manner as referred to above and we will take all reasonable steps to delete it unless we need to keep it for legal reasons.

8. Storage and security of your personal information

Saving Mum will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information which we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Your information is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. We require our employees and data processors to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by Saving Mum. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot give an absolute assurance that the information you provide to us will be secure at all times. Saving Mum will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.

Please note also that Saving Mum may use overseas facilities to process or back up its information. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to our overseas facilities for storage. However, this does not change any of our commitments to safeguard your privacy.

Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the Terms and Conditions of those websites.
