HOBBY ONE PRIVACY POLICY

We take your privacy seriously. In order for us to gain and maintain your continued patronage, Hobby One operates under a strict code of conduct, detailed below in our Privacy Statement.

Your Privacy
We will not rent or sell your name, address, email address, credit card information or personal information to any third party. However, we must co-operate fully should a situation arise where we are required by law or legal process to provide information about a customer. If you have purchased from our store or subscribed to one of our newsletters, we may occasionally contact you via email or SMS of special opportunities, product updates & promotions. We may also contact you if you have entered one of our contests. If you choose not to receive updates when you enter a contest, it will not affect your chances of winning.

Third Parties
Hobby One may, at its discretion use third parties or third party software to provide essential services on our website or for our business processes. We may share your details only when necessary to provide these services. These third parties are prohibited from using your personal information for any other purpose.

Hobby One gathers user information in the following processes:

Registration
During registration the user is required to supply a username, password, and email address. Optionally, we ask for a mailing address to assure the proper delivery of goods. We use customer contact information from the registration form to send the user information about our company. The customer's contact information is also used to contact you when necessary. Users may opt-out of receiving future mailings; see the "unsubscribe" link at the base of the Hobby One email newsletter that is sent out periodically.

Surveys & Competitions
From time-to-time Hobby One may request information from users / customers via surveys or competitions. Participation in these surveys or competitions is completely voluntary and the user therefore has a choice whether or not to disclose this information. Information requested may include contact information (such as name, address, email address, phone number), and demographic information (such as postal code, age level). Contact information will be used to notify the winners and award prizes. By submitting your contact details, you agree to receive marketing communications from Hobby One. If you do not wish to receive marketing information, please either contact us instore or info@hobbyone.com.au. All marketing material will also have an 'opt-out' option. Survey information will be used for purposes of monitoring or improving the use and satisfaction of this site, and the service provided by Hobby One.
