Introduction
T&H Plus is committed to protecting
your privacy and personal information when you deal with us. In this policy we
explain how and why we collect your personal information, how we use it, and
what controls you have over our use of it.
Collection of Information
We will only collect personal information
from you with your prior knowledge and consent. You can access our website and
browse the site without disclosing personal information.
The kinds of personal information that
T&H Plus collects includes:
· Names
· Contact Details
· Financial Information
· Information about Credit History (for
credit customers)
Personal information is collected from
people in the following situations:
· If you contact T&H Plus, we may keep
a record of that correspondence;
· When you apply for and/or establish an
account and/or order product;
· When you conduct certain types of
transactions such as cheque purchases or refunds;
· When you submit your e-mail address to
our website mailing list;
· When you place an order on our website to
purchase products, we may require you to provide us with contact information
including your name, address, telephone number or email address and financial
information (such as credit card details).
Financial information that is collected via
the website is used by us to bill you for products and services. Any financial
information that is collected is for the purpose of transaction approval and
funds transfer. The financial information we collect from you is kept securely
and held on secure servers in controlled facilities.
Use of information collected
We will only use personal information
provided by you for the primary purposes for which it was collected and we will
not disclose your personal information to a third party, except when it is
required to facilitate a service you have requested.
Personal information may be used or

This information is only disclosed to

We ensure that your personal information
will not be disclosed unless law requires it or to prevent or investigate
suspected unlawful activity.
Payment information
Your information and online credit card
transactions are transmitted through a secure connection using Secure Socket
Layering (SSL) encryption technology. SSL locks all critical information passed
from you to us, such as payment information in an encrypted envelope by your
computer, making it almost impossible for this information to be intercepted.
You can identify this by looking at the URL - 'https' the 's' indicated you are
in a secure area. SSL is the system that is used by all reputable e-commerce
sites.
When you place an order, you will be asked
for the following information:
· Your name
· E-mail address
· Mailing address
· Delivery address
· Telephone number
· Any special delivery instructions
Security and storage
T&H Plus places a great importance on
the security of all information associated with our customers. However, no data
transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. As a
result, while we strive to protect users' personal information, T&H Plus
cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information transmitted to it or
from its online products or services, and users do so at their own risk. Once
T&H Plus receives your transmission, it makes every reasonable effort to
ensure its security on our systems.
You are responsible for keeping your
passwords and/or account information secret. You should be careful and responsible
whenever you are online.
Direct Marketing
As part of T&H Plus's functions and
business activities to promote the services we can provide to you, T&H Plus
may use personal information that you have provided to us for the purposes of
direct marketing. Direct Marketing includes, but is not limited to, sending to
you and/or contacting you in relation to promotions and information about
T&H Plus's products and services. Generally, we will do so where you have
expressed your interest to receive such information. You can opt out of
receiving direct marketing communications by sending an email
to info@thplus.com or use the opt out link or details provided in the
direct marketing communication.
Access and correction of personal information
The Australian Privacy Act 1988 gives you
the right to access and correct your personal information.
T&H Plus is committed to and takes
reasonable steps to maintain accurate, timely, relevant, complete and
appropriate information about our customers and website users.
You may request access to personal
information about you held by T&H Plus, in writing to info@thplus.com.
