We recognise that you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used.
We take our obligations relating to your personal information very seriously. Unless you directly give us consent to do otherwise, Boffins Books will only collect and use your personal information as set out in this Privacy Policy. Boffins Books is committed to complying with National Privacy principles and will comply with other laws applicable to our business in relation to our customers' privacy.
Boffins Books 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 (for example, when using our price and availability inquiry service, creating a lay by, registering on our website, or opening an account).
When you purchase products or services from us, we will sometimes ask you for personal information (such as your name, current address, telephone/mobile number, email address, credit card information, occupation or employer) so that we can arrange to order and/or contact/deliver the goods that you purchase. We also keep details of your interest areas and purchase history.
On other occasions when you deal with us, it may be necessary for us to keep a record of that contact for business purposes, and to enable us to respond to your request or comment. Examples may include inquiries that require a follow up response from us (e.g. a price and availability check with a supplier, a customer complaint, or other circumstances where you have been affected by incidents that may have occurred through your association with Boffins Books).
You do not have to supply us with this information; however, if you choose not to, we may be unable to sell or provide you with the merchandise or service that you require.
Information we collect may be used to fulfill our obligation under any purchase of merchandise or service request, and to enhance your shopping experience in the following ways:
If any other purposes arise other than those listed here, we will advise you at the time.
In nearly all circumstances when we use your information, that information remains within Boffins Books. We never sell or rent your personal information to any third parties under any circumstances. However, we sometimes need to share your information with our agents, representatives, and trusted service providers and contractors, for the specific purpose of fulfilling customer orders; offering certain products and services in connection with our website; communicating with customers; providing customer service; enhancing and improving the customer shopping experience; providing a personalised shopping experience; and completing credit card transactions.
Aside from these purposes, we will never share your personal information with any third parties unless we have your express permission do so, or under special circumstances such as when we believe in good faith that the disclosure is required by law.
Boffins Books takes all reasonable precautions to ensure the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date. However, the accuracy of the information we hold depends largely on the information you provide.
That's why we recommend that you:
