Any change in Creative Addiction’s practice in relation to collection and storage of information will be posted in an updated policy on the website. You may exercise your choices about how Creative Addiction collects and uses your information at any time.

Creative Addiction collects information on its site visitors as a whole group including which sections of the site are most frequently visited, how often and for how long. This data is always used as aggregated, non-personal information. Creative Addiction utilises this information to improve and enhance its services by monitoring the areas on the site which are most popular to you. This aggregated information (not names and addresses) may be shared with Creative Addiction partners to provide them with an overview of how Creative Addiction visitors use and surf the site.

 

Creative Addiction advertisers do receive information such as name, e-mail address, telephone and registration details from you only if you purchase advertising on the website. Creative Addiction maintains a record of your product interests and the purchases you make online or by telephone. Any visitor to the Creative Addiction website, does not have to provide any information. The only information Creative Addiction may collect is your email address if you choose to sign up for the newsletter.

 

 

When you place an advertisement with Creative Addiction, then your personal information is used to process your advertisement, send you e-mails to confirm your advertisement and/or to contact you via telephone or e-mail if there are other questions regarding your advertising.

 

When you place an advertisement or save your information online, Creative Addiction will use your e-mail address to send you information about its products, services, and promotions and to help it learn more about your advertising preferences. You always have the choice not to receive marketing information or calls.

 

Creative Addiction may also contact you, subject to the choices you have made, via e-mail, or telephone, to conduct market research and learn more about how it can improve its product offerings and hopefully your sales.

We use a third-party advertising company to serve advertisements when you visit our Web site. Creative Addiction may use information (not including your name, address, email address or telephone number) about your visit to this Website in order to provide advertisements about goods and services that may be of interest to you. In the course of serving advertisements to this site, our third-party advertiser may place or recognize a unique "cookie" on your browser.

As you probably know a cookie is a small data file that websites often store on your computer's hard drive when you visit their sites. A cookie may contain information, such as a unique user ID that websites use to track the pages of the sites you've visited. Creative Addiction uses cookies but does not store personally identifiable information in them.

 

Creative Addiction uses cookies in order to improve searching and advertising ability. Cookies enable Creative Addiction to keep track of search preferences and advertising selections as the site is used.

You can always refuse cookies simply by turning them off in your browser. If you turn off cookies, though, we will not be able to track your order to enable you to purchase advertising from our site, nor will we be able to recognize you as a registered advertiser (which allows you to access your account information).

 

Protecting your advertising order information is important. Creative Addiction uses PayPal to provide a secure environment for the authorisation of credit card transactions over the Internet.

 

Confidential information including client credit card details are encrypted the moment they are transmitted from the client's browser to the banking network using industry standard SSL (Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology )128-bit RC4 encryption technology.

 

A client's credit card details are not stored anywhere on the Internet and the only company who has access to this data is the merchant's bank. The bank also sends confirmation information via the same encryption technology back to the client's browser. This secure method provides all clients with security and peace of mind when purchasing online.

 

Some versions of browsers and some firewalls don't permit communication through secure servers like the ones we use to process orders at Creative Addiction. To check the security of your connection, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https."

 

If your browser or firewall doesn't support SSL, you will not be able to connect to the server and you won't be able to mistakenly place an order through an unsecured connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please place your order by phone at 02 9894 4542.

 

The Creative Addiction website and its advertisements may contain links to other sites. Creative Addiction does not control the privacy policies or practices of these websites. You should review those policies before providing any personal information. Creative Addiction is not responsible for the content or practices of any linked websites, and we provide these links solely for the convenience and information of our visitors.
