At Bamboo, we take seriously our obligation to respect and protect the privacy of the personal information of individuals with whom we deal.

The information we collect and hold

We collect personal information about you which is reasonably necessary to:

  • Provide you with quality products or services
  • Protect and improve our products (and services)
  • Consider orders and requests and approaches you make to us
  • Maintain your contact details

We collect such information in two ways, first from the information you give us (such as when you order a product online or by phone) and information we get from your use of our services such as when you visit our websites which contain our advertising and you view and interact with our ads and content.

In some cases, we collect personal information from third parties including public sources and our related companies and only ever by lawful and correct means.

We generally hold personal information relating to:

  • The information which you provide to us which is part of your identity, such as your name, e-mail address or billing information, delivery address and special delivery instructions or other data which can be reasonably linked to such information
  • The products and services we provide or have provided to you
  • The keeping of demographic data, if you are a customer or potential customer of ours
  • The recording of our interactions with you, including by telephone, email and online
  • Your enquiries or complaints.

We also collect personal information from people who submit applications or register interest for employment with us.

How that information is used

We use and disclose personal information about you for the purpose for which it was disclosed to us or for related purposes which would reasonably be expected without your permission with an organisation such as ours.

For example, we may use and disclose personal information to process orders and requests, administer and manage our products and services including monitoring, auditing, and evaluating those products and services, model and test data, communicate with you and deal with any complaints or enquiries.

We may also use and disclose your personal information (on a confidential basis) in connection with acquisitions, mergers or changes in control of our business or assets.

We also use your personal information for marketing purposes such as to provide information about products, promotions and services which we expect may be of interest to you. However, we do respect your right to ask us not to do this. We have a simple opt-out regime in place.

We do not sell personal information to other organisations to allow them to do this.

We may share personal information inside the Bamboo, and may disclose personal information outside Bamboo:

  • To service providers who provide services including website and technology services, internet service providers, credit gateways, archival, auditing, accounting, customer contact, legal, business consulting, banking, payment, delivery, data processing, data analysis, information broking, mailing, marketing, research, investigation, insurance, identity verification and maintenance,
  • As required by relevant laws or rules and to people you nominate with your permission. We will ask for your consent before using information for a purpose other than those that are set out in this Privacy Policy.
