Personal information is important to Heavenly Creatures
1. Heavenly Creatures is committed to safeguarding personal privacy. It recognises that individuals have a right to control how their personal information is collected and used. Providing personal information is an act of trust and it is taken seriously. Unless given consent to do otherwise, Heavenly Creatures will only collect and use personal information as set out below.

2. Throughout this Privacy Policy, we refer to your 'personal information’, which means information, which identifies you as an individual or from which your identity can be reasonably ascertained. Your name, home address, home telephone number, mobile telephone number, email address, workplace contact details and credit card details are examples of personal information. Personal information also includes information we may collect about your individual literary preferences.

3. Heavenly Creatures has developed and implemented its Privacy Policy with respect to personal information to reflect world best practice on privacy policies. These principles meet and exceed the requirements of the Australian privacy legislation.

4. We will post any changes to this Privacy Policy on our website, so we encourage you to check this Privacy Policy from time to time.

5. In addition to the provisions of this Privacy Policy, there may also be specific and additional privacy and consent provisions that apply to certain sections of the website or our collection of personal information from you by email, by telephone, in writing or in person. Because those specific and additional provisions also relate to your privacy protection, we recommend that you review them wherever they appear. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Privacy Policy and those other specific and additional provisions, the specific and additional provisions will prevail.

Collecting personal information
6. Heavenly Creatures will not collect or monitor any personal information about an individual without their consent. The only personal information collected is what has been provided voluntarily.

7. When a product is purchased or through marketing / promotional activities (eg via this website, in a store, over the telephone etc.), personal information may be requested (such as name, phone, email, address and credit card details) in order to process your transaction, provide product information, provide newsletters, electronic newsletters (e-newsletters), provide new release / launch information, and advise of other Heavenly Creatures products, competitions or events, which may be of interest. No one is obligated to provide personal information. However, failure to do so may result in Heavenly Creatures being unable to process your transaction, provide you with upcoming promotion, event or product information and/or provide certain services including after sales services.

8. In common with many commercial websites we may also collect information which tells us about visitors to our website. For example, we may collect information about the date, time and duration of visits and which pages of the website are most commonly accessed. This information is generally not linked to the identity of visitors, except where the website is accessed via links in an email we have sent.

9. Heavenly Creatures policy for collecting personal information from children under the age of 18 is to seek the permission of a parent or guardian for the collection of this information.
