Respecting your privacy
To help us achieve our goal of providing the highest quality products and services, we use information from our interactions with you and other customers, as well as from other parties. Because we respect your privacy, we have developed this Privacy Policy to ensure that all personal information we collect is handled in a safe, secure and responsible manner, and in accordance with applicable privacy laws, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
We have posted this privacy policy in order to explain our information collection practices and the choices you have about the way information is collected and used.
This Privacy Policy forms part of the Terms of Use which governs your access to, and use of, the Shpitser.com website.
As we continue to develop our website and take advantage of advances in technology to improve the services we offer, this privacy policy likely will change. We therefore encourage you to refer to this policy on an ongoing basis so that you understand our current privacy policy.
The information we collect
Generally, you may browse the website without providing any personally identifiable information. However, we may ask you to provide personally identifiable information at various times and places on this website. In some cases, if you choose not to provide us with the requested information, you may not be able to access all parts of this website or participate in all of its features.
We receive and store any personally identifiable information you enter on the website, whenever you shop with Shpitser.com or information you give us in any other way, such as by subscribing to our newsletters, email, or telephone communication. For example, we may collect the following personally identifiable information: your name, address, telephone number, email address, billing information and order information. We do not store your credit card information.
If you use one of our services, or participate in one of our surveys, promotions, or sweepstakes, we may ask for additional information, such as your age, interests or product preferences.
From your purchases and other interactions with us, we obtain information concerning the specific products or services you purchase or use. When you visit this website, our web server automatically collects anonymous information such as log data and IP addresses, and may collect general information concerning your location. We may use the automatically collected information for a number of purposes, such as improving our site design, product assortments, customer service, and special promotions.
Security
Personal information provided on the website and online credit card transactions are transmitted through a secure server. We are committed to handling your personal information with high standards of information security. We take appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative steps to maintain the security and accuracy of personally identifiable information we collect, including limiting the number of people who have physical access to our database servers, as well as employing electronic security systems and password protections that guard against unauthorised access. Our website uses encryption technology, like Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), to protect your personal information during data transport. SSL encrypts ordering information such as your name, address, and credit card number. Please note that email is not encrypted and is not considered to be a secure means of transmitting credit card information.

- To complete your purchase transactions
- To provide the products and services you request
- To send you our newsletters and other offerings by email. If you do not wish to receive mailings from us, you can opt out of our mailing list at any time by emailing us at shpitser.com@gmail.com or using unsubscribe facility in our emails.
- To identify your product and service preferences, so we can notify you of new or additional products, services, and promotions that might be of interest to you

We may also collect, hold, use and disclose your information for other purposes explained at the time of collection or which are required and authorised by, or under law, and for which you have consented.

Use of cookies
We may use cookie technology to provide information and services to visitors of Shpitser.com. A "cookie" is a small data file stored by your Web browser on your computer or mobile device [hard drive]. It allows us to recognise your computer (but not specifically who is using it) upon entering our site by associating the identification numbers in the cookie with other customer information you have provided us. That customer information is stored on our secured database. We use cookies to keep track of what you have in your shopping cart and to remember you when you return to the website as well as to identify the pages you click on during your visit to our site and the name of the website you visited immediately before clicking to the Shpitser.com website. Cookies are useful to determine visitor traffic patterns. We use this information to improve our site design, product assortments, customer service, and special promotions. We may also use web beacons, and other technologies, to help track whether our communications are reaching you, to measure their effectiveness, or to collect certain non-personal information about your computer, device or browser in order to allow us to better design future communications to you. You can disable cookies on your computer by indicating this in the preferences or options menus in your browser. However, it is possible that some parts of our website will not operate correctly if you disable cookies and you will not be able to take full advantage of the services on our website.
We may contract with third parties who may use cookies and web beacons and collect information on our behalf or provide services such as credit card processing, shipping, promotional services or data management. We call them our Customer Care Partners. These third parties are prohibited by our agreement with them from sharing that information with anyone other than us or our other Customer Care Partners.
