Unless you directly give us consent to do otherwise, we will only collect and use your personal information as set out below. Perri Cutten abides by the “Australian Privacy Principles” contained in the Privacy Act 1988 where you are an Australian user, or the Information Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1993, where you are a New Zealand user (both referred to in this Privacy Policy as “Privacy Principles” and “Privacy Act” respectively).

This Privacy Policy outlines how Perri Cutten will handle and manage personal information we collect about you. As we collect personal information in-store at our Perri Cutten stores, including clearance stores and Perri Cutten concession stores, as well as online through www.perricutten.com.au (our website), this Privacy Policy also applies to your use of the Perri Cutten website. By providing your personal information to us and by using our website, you consent to the collection of your personal information by Perri Cutten and its use and disclosure in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

What information do we collect?
We may collect certain types of personal information from you. Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you and may include details such as name, address, telephone numbers (including your mobile phone number), date of birth, gender, occupation and email address. We also collect transaction details relating to your purchases from us and any preferences you select as well as other personal information you disclose to us in communications between us and you.

Why we collect personal information and consequences of not providing it to us
Generally, we collect personal information about customers and VIP members to provide a range of products and services, to meet our obligations to you and to enable us to conduct our business. We also collect personal information so you can enter a competition, seek employment or communicate with Perri Cutten by e-mail, telephone or writing. We collect personal information from VIP members so they can receive style updates, exclusive offers and promotions, pre-sale event invitations and personalised offers based on their shopping preferences.

If you do not supply requested personal information, we may be delayed or prevented from finalising your purchase or satisfying your request or enquiry

How do we collect and hold your personal information?
We may collect personal information in a number of ways including;

  • when you join the Perri Cutten VIP Program;
  • when you contact us with an enquiry;
  • when you submit a job application;
  • through our website when you:
  • place an online order with us
  • enter a competition
  • rate and review a Perri Cutten product
  • otherwise access and/or use our website; and
  • through any social media platform upon which you engage with us.

Generally, personal information is collected directly from you at the time you make a purchase, register as a Perri Cutten VIP member through our website or when you have other dealings with us. In some instances we may collect personal information about you from someone else. For example, someone may give us your name and address if they have purchased a Perri Cutten gift for you and wish us to deliver the gift to you. If you provide us with personal information of another individual you agree to take reasonable steps to ensure that the individual is made aware of the matters set out in this Privacy Policy.

How do we use your personal information?

Sharing information with third parties
Perri Cutten does not sell or trade your personal information gathered online with third parties for their marketing purposes without your consent.

Perri Cutten may however disclose your personal information to:

  • service providers or persons who perform functions on our behalf, for example, mailing services, distribution services, IT services, data analysis, research, advertising or consultancy services;
  • organisations who are involved in a competition run by Perri Cutten;
  • law enforcement agencies in relation to a suspected breach of any law;
  • our professional advisers;
  • regulatory authorities;

Cross-border disclosure of personal information (Users in Australia Only)
Some of Perri Cutten’s third party contractors and service providers may perform certain services overseas and as a result your personal information may be disclosed to a recipient in a foreign country. For example, we may use a server hosted overseas to store data including your personal information or send emails to Perri Cutten customers. Under Australian privacy laws, we must take reasonable steps, in the circumstances, before personal information is disclosed to an overseas recipient to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach Australian privacy laws in relation to that information ("the Obligation").

The Obligation does not apply if you consent to the disclosure of your personal information to an overseas recipient.

By supplying personal information to us, you consent to the disclosure of your personal information to an overseas recipient and agree that the Obligation does not apply.

How long will you keep my personal information for?
Any information that we no longer require is destroyed securely. An exception to this may be retention of the information for data analysis. However, if this occurs, the information will be retained in a form that does not allow you to be identified from that information.

You also have the right to ask us to correct information about you which is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
