this statement.
Collection of your Personal Information BHD
collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail
address, name, home or work address or telephone number. BHD also
collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you,
such as your ZIP code, age, gender, preferences, interests and
favourites.
There is also information about your computer
hardware and software that is automatically collected by BHD. This
information can include: your IP address, browser type, domain names,
access times and referring Web site addresses. This information is used
by BHD for the operation of the service, to maintain quality of the
service, and to provide general statistics regarding use of the BHD Web
site.
Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose
personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through
BHD public message boards, this information may be collected and used by
others. Note: BHD does not read any of your private online
communications.
BHD encourages you to review the privacy
statements of Web sites you choose to link to from BHD so that you can
understand how those Web sites collect, use and share your information.
BHD is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on
Web sites outside of the BHD and BHD family of Web sites.
Use of
your Personal Information BHD collects and uses your personal
information to operate the BHD Web site and deliver the services you
have requested. BHD also uses your personally identifiable information
to inform you of other products or services available from BHD and its
affiliates. BHD may also contact you via surveys to conduct research
about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that
may be offered.
BHD does not sell, rent or lease its customer
lists to third parties. BHD may, from time to time, contact you on
behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that
may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally
identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is
not transferred to the third party. In addition, BHD may share data with
trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you email
or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All

Use of Cookies The BHD Web
site use "cookies" to help you personalize your online experience. A
cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page
server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to
your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be
read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.
One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience
feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web
server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you
personalize BHD's pages, or register with BHD site or services, a cookie
helps BHD to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This
simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as
billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the
same BHD Web site, the information you previously provided can be
retrieved, so you can easily use the BHD features that you customized.
You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most Web browsers
automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser
setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline
cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive
features of the BHD services or Web sites you visit.
Security of
your Personal Information BHD secures your personal information from
unauthorized access, use or disclosure. BHD secures the personally
identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a
controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use
or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number)
is transmitted to other Web sites, it is protected through the use of
encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.
Changes to this Statement BHD will occasionally update this Statement
of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. BHD encourages you
to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how BHD is
protecting your information.
Contact Information BHD
welcomes your comments regarding this Statement of Privacy. If you
believe that BHD has not adhered to this Statement, please contact
Brochure Holders & Displays Pty Ltd. We will use commercially reasonable
efforts to promptly determine and remedy the problem.
