It would be unusual for us to need to collect all or even most of the above information from you. The information we will require will depend on the specific service(s) that we provide to you and/or the specific interactions we have with you.
How do we collect your Personal Information?
Direct collection: We collect your Personal Information directly from you unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so. When collecting Personal Information from you, we may collect in ways including:
Cookies and web tracking: Fantastic Furniture uses tracking technologies such as cookies to recognise your browser each time it visits our site, and to track which pages you visit whilst on our site.

Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to a computer’s hard disk for record keeping purposes. Most web browsers are set to accept tracking technologies such as cookies.

Remarketing: Our website uses various software platforms and analytics programs, such as Google AdWords, Google Analytics, and the Google Display Network, to serve ads to you on other websites after you have visited our website. This practice is known as remarketing and is a tool that Google and other digital providers offer to businesses. If you would like to opt-out of receiving advertising like this from Google you can manage these settings by visiting the Google Ads Preferences Manager.
Payment protection: Fantastic Furniture’s retail operation uses the payment protection provider, CyberSource, which allows for the approval of more legitimate transactions by accurately determining the trustworthiness of every transaction. Information collected by CyberSource is governed by CyberSource’s privacy policy (https://usa.visa.com/legal/privacy-policy.html). All application traffic, including payment information, traverses the internet through an encrypted channel.
Franchisees: Fantastic Furniture may collect Personal Information from its franchisees as part of operating the Fantastic Furniture franchise network.
Third parties: Our manufacturing and distribution operations provide services to other businesses. As part of those services, we may be asked to provide services on behalf of those businesses to you or otherwise deal with you in the course of providing those services. In those circumstances, we will receive your Personal Information from those businesses. This may include where you are a worker or customer of that business. The collection and disclosure by them of your Personal Information to us is governed by their privacy policy.
We may also collect information from third parties such as credit reporting bodies, law enforcement agencies, and other government agencies.
What happens if we can’t collect your Personal Information?
If you do not provide us with the Personal Information described above, we may not be able to provide the requested products or services to you, or the business you work for (whichever is applicable), either to the same standard or at all, or we may not be able to provide you with information about our products and services.
For what purposes do we collect, hold, use and disclose your Personal Information?
Your Personal Information will not be shared, sold, rented or disclosed other than as described in this Privacy Policy.

Direct marketing materials
We may send you direct marketing communications and information about our products and services that we consider may be of interest to you if you would reasonably expect us to do so in light of how we collected your Personal Information. These communications may be sent in various forms, including mail, SMS, social media and email, in accordance with applicable marketing laws, such as the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so.

Opting Out
At Fantastic Furniture we only want to communicate with you if you want to hear from us. You may choose to restrict or opt out of the collection, storage, use or disclosure of your information in the following ways:
Access and correction
You may request access to any Personal Information we hold about you at any time by contacting us (see details below). Where we hold information that you are entitled to access, we will try to provide you with suitable means of accessing it (for example, by mailing or emailing it to you). We may ask you to pay our reasonable costs to give you access to your Personal Information.
There may be instances where we cannot grant you access to the Personal Information we hold. For example, we may need to refuse access if granting access would interfere with the privacy of others or if it would result in a breach of confidentiality. If that happens, we will give you written reasons for any refusal.
If you believe that Personal Information we hold about you is incorrect, incomplete or inaccurate, then you may request us to amend it. We will consider if the information requires amendment. If we do not agree that there are grounds for amendment, then we will add a note to the Personal Information stating you disagree with it.
