4. How do we store and protect your Personal Information?
4.1. Security and Storage of Personal Information
We understand the importance of your Personal Information and have appropriate procedures in place to safeguard and secure the information we collect to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, maintain data accuracy and ensure the appropriate use of information.
We take website and credit card security extremely seriously and always endeavour to provide a secure and safe platform from which to conduct online transactions. We use the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts information as it is transmitted over the internet. This encryption scrambles details such as credit card numbers, billing details and delivery addresses so that other computers are unable to decipher the information, ensuring privacy and security.
Your Personal Information is stored in secured, encrypted servers located in the United States of America and Australia (e.g. in data storage and cloud computing facilities operated by us or by third parties on our behalf).
It is important for you to protect your account against unauthorised access. Ensure you sign out when you have finished visiting our websites especially if you have accessed the websites from a shared computer.
4.2. Storage of Personal Information on third party platforms
Sometimes we use third-party platforms and services to process sales, store and analyse data and information, provide web support, send marketing messages, deliver products or otherwise deliver information (Third-Party Platform). These Third-Party Platforms are hosted and managed by organisations other than ourselves, and some of these services are hosted overseas, including in the United States of America and Australia. These Third-Party Platforms may include Shopify, PayPal, and Afterpay.
The privacy policies and terms and conditions of relevant Third-Party Platforms will apply. It is your responsibility to read, agree to and comply with such privacy policies and terms and conditions. The Third-Party Platform may collect, transmit or store data such as your full name, address and billing address, billing and payment information, phone number and email.
You acknowledge and agree that Tony Bianco has no control over the security or privacy of Personal Information collected by Third-Party Platforms and that Tony Bianco is not liable for any loss or damage to you in connection with any breach of this Privacy Policy or any data breach by any Third-Party Platform. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Tony Bianco shall not be liable for the act, omission, negligence or the conduct of any such Third-Party Platform.
4.3. Destroying and de-identifying Personal Information
We reserve the right to maintain and store any information or data where we reasonably believe, in our sole discretion, that such action is required to comply with any legal or regulatory obligations, to prevent criminal or other unlawful activity whether immediate or in the future, or where we have a legitimate business reason to do so, including collection of amounts owed, resolving disputes, enforcing our Terms or for record keeping integrity.
We destroy or de-identify your Personal Information where it is no longer needed for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. If the GDPR applies to you and you have not contacted us or placed an order in the past two years, we will delete your Personal Information.
You may contact us at any time to request permanent deletion of your Personal Information from our system, however such requests may limit or prevent us from providing the Services to you.
5. Who can access your Personal Information and to whom is it disclosed?
Disclosure of your Personal Information will occur in accordance with the purpose for which it was collected or as outlined in this Privacy Policy. Accordingly, your Personal Information may be disclosed to other individuals and companies as outlined below:

We may also share your Personal Information with our business partners who offer goods or services to you jointly with us (for example, contests or promotions).
The countries this information may be disclosed to will vary from time to time, but may include Australia, New Zealand, and the United States of America. We use reasonable steps to ensure that these parties are either governed by substantially similar, accessible and enforceable laws to the Australian Privacy Principles or adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles, however to the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for the privacy practices of such parties. By accessing, registering, using or subscribing to our Services, you acknowledge and consent to disclosure of Personal Information to such overseas recipients.
If the GDPR applies (as defined in clause 11), transfers of your Personal Information to another country or international organisation will only take place in accordance with the GDPR, where that country or organisation has provided appropriate safeguards and on the condition that you have enforceable data rights and effective legal remedies.
Where Personal Information is shared with these third parties, they are obliged to observe the confidential nature of such information and are prohibited from using any or all of this information other than for the purpose for which it was provided.

Your Personal Information may be disclosed by us to any party to whom we are required by law to provide your Personal Information and to any party to whom disclosure is permitted under the Australian Privacy Principles.

We will also disclose Personal Information to a law enforcement agency if we are requested to do so by that agency in relation to suspected unlawful activity.
