Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important

KIT Cosmetics Pty Ltd (KIT) is committed to protecting your personal information. This privacy policy sets out how we manage your personal information. You should read it carefully.

When you contact KIT, including by purchasing any of our products or services, you agree to this privacy policy.

You do not have to provide any personal information to KIT if you don’t want to. But, if you don’t provide the personal information that KIT asks for, it may not be possible for KIT to engage with you. For example, if you purchase our great products online, we won’t be able to deliver these to you unless you provide a delivery address.

What is personal information?

When we talk about personal information, we mean information (such as an address or phone number) or an opinion about an individual. That individual may either be identified, that is, we know who they are, or reasonably identifiable, which means that we can work out who they are from other information that we have. It doesn’t matter whether or not the information or opinion is actually true or whether or not it is in writing.

Remember, the basic idea is that, if an organisation such as KIT collects information that is about you, and that organisation is able to link that information to you, then it will be your personal information.

What sort of personal information do we have about you?

The personal information we collect and hold about you will depend on how we engage with you.

The sort of personal information KIT may collect and hold about you includes:

  • your name, residential and delivery addresses, telephone numbers, email and other electronic addresses;
  • your date of birth and gender;
  • information about the products and services you have purchased, ordered or asked about;
  • your credit or debit card details and other bank details;
  • information about your beauty profile;
  • information collected if you access the KIT websites or any of our social media sites including for example your IP address. We may also collect other information from those sites via cookies. A cookie is a small data file that might be transferred to your device when you access the KIT websites or those other sites; and
  • information about any feedback you provide, complaints you make and details of any products returned, and refunds provided, to you.

How does KIT collect your personal information?

KIT will usually collect personal information directly from you when you provide it to us. You might do this, for example, when you purchase or order any of our services or products on the KIT website.

Although we usually collect your personal information directly from you, sometimes we will collect it from other organisations or people if you agree with us that we can do this or if it would otherwise be impracticable to collect it directly from you. For example, we may collect personal information from our related companies, when you access or purchase products on their website.

Why do we need your personal information?

KIT collects, holds, uses and discloses your personal information to help us carry on our business. In other words, we do this to help us provide the best products and services to you and all of our other customers. This means KIT collects, holds, uses and discloses your personal information for the following purposes:

  • to provide KIT’s products and services to you;
  • to provide you with access to the KIT website, including to provide you with content on that site that is relevant to you;
  • to provide advertising that might interest you, including information about promotions, competitions and events;
  • to help us work out what products and services you are most interested in;
  • to respond on any questions or complaints you might have and to provide you with any refunds or exchanges;
  • to make our products, services, the KIT website and KIT’s social media sites better;
  • to manage stock levels of KIT products;
  • if you are one of our contractors or service providers, or an employee of one of our contractors or service providers, to engage with you under the relevant agreement;
  • to enforce KIT’s rights, including undertaking legal proceedings;
  • to otherwise manage our business and to meet KIT’s legal and regulatory requirements; and
  • any of the above in relation to our related companies.

Direct marketing

Direct marketing involves communicating directly with you to promote the sale of products and services. We may provide advertising to you directly, for example by email or text. We may also provide it when you are using the internet, whether or not you are using the KIT website, unless you tell us you don’t want to receive these communications.

You can unsubscribe from direct marketing from us at any time by using the opt out button in the relevant communications or by contacting us (see section 11 of this policy).

Who we might give your personal information to

We don’t sell your personal information to anyone else.

But sometimes, for the purposes listed in section 5, KIT may provide your personal information to:

  • KIT’s contractors and service providers on a confidential basis, but they are only able to use that information to help us manage our business;
  • other organisations or people if we are required or authorised by law to do so, for example, if it is necessary to tell the police to help them do their work;
  • any person that is a party to an agreement with KIT for the sale of all or part of KIT’s business;
  • any other person or organisation that we tell you about; and
  • our related companies.

The other organisations and people that we provide your personal information to may be located in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan, the European Union or the United States.

Protecting your personal information

Your personal information is held by KIT in electronic form and is protected by electronic and procedural safeguards. Your personal information will either be stored on KIT’s IT systems or the IT systems of KIT’s contractors or service providers.

If your personal information is initially collected in paper form, we will destroy that paper when we record the personal information in electronic form. We will keep that information in a secure location until that occurs.

KIT’s authorised personnel will be provided with access to your personal information. These personnel are required to treat this personal information as confidential and deal with it in accordance with this privacy policy. We impose obligations on our contractors and service providers to do the same thing.

When KIT does not need your personal information any more, KIT will securely destroy it, unless there is a legal reason why KIT needs to continue to hold that personal information.

How does KIT use cookies and IP addresses?

A cookie is a piece of data that enables us to track and target your preferences. We may use cookies to enable us to identify you as a return user and personalize and enhance your experience and use of any of our sites. Most browsers are initially set up to accept cookies. You can reset your browser to refuse all cookies or to warn you before accepting cookies. If you have set your browser to warn you before accepting cookies, you will receive the warning message with each cookie. If you reject our cookies, you may still use our site, but you may be limited in the use of some of the features. We use cookies to help us improve our service to you when you access our site and to ensure that our site remains easy to use and navigate. We may also use IP addresses to analyse trends, administer our sites, track traffic patterns, and gather demographic information for aggregate use, as well as in combination with your personal information for credit fraud protection and risk reduction.

Services that our website may use from time to time include Google Analytics, which transmits website traffic data to Google servers. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand traffic and usage on our website. By using our website, you consent to Google processing your data in the manner described in Google's Privacy Policy and for the purposes set out in this policy.

Google may pass on cookies to its partners and other third parties to achieve its purposes.

Links to other sites from our website

Although our sites may contain links to or from external websites, those websites are not subject to our privacy standards, policies and procedures. We recommend that you make your own enquiries as to the privacy policies of these third parties. We are in no way responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. This privacy policy applies only to the information we collect on our sites.

You can ask us about your personal information

We are very happy to tell you about the personal information KIT holds about you.

KIT will get back to you as soon as we can after you ask us. Sometimes we might not be able to provide you with details about what we hold, but we will explain this to you if that happens.

If you think any of the personal information we have about you is wrong, for example, if you have changed your phone number or email address, please let us know. You can reach out to KIT’s Customer Service team (see contact details below). KIT will:

  • update its records;
  • if the personal information is held by a third party provider, take reasonable step to notify the third party to update their records; or
  • if there is some reason why we don’t think the information should be changed, we will let you know.

In some cases, you have the right to have your personal information erased or deleted. Please note this is not an absolute right, as we may have legal or legitimate grounds for retaining your personal information.

If you want to know what we have or would like to request deletion of your personal information, just reach out to KIT’s Customer Service team at privacyofficer@kitskinkind.com.

Of course, KIT will not charge you for telling you about, amending or deleting the personal information we hold.

Changes to privacy policy

We keep our privacy policy on the KIT website, so it is easy for you to access.

We try not to change our privacy policy too often, but sometimes we need to, for example, if the law changes or if we change the way we collect or use your information. When we change our privacy policy, we will put the updated version on the KIT website straight away. We will also put a notice on the KIT website when we make significant updates, so you will know this has happened.

This privacy policy was last updated July 2022.
