At Elegance Tiles, we value our customers’ privacy and are committed to securely protecting the information they share with us. That’s why we operate in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles as set out in the Australian Privacy Act.
The purpose of the Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is to highlight the personal information collected by Elegance Tiles, and how such information may be used. The Privacy Policy applies to our website, social media, and other services we may develop or deliver, such as potential apps -collectively referred to as “the Site”.
In this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” means information or opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable in accordance with section 6 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
By using the Elegance Tiles website, you agree to accept the Privacy Policy and the Site’s Terms and Conditions (Terms and Conditions). Where the Privacy Policy uses a word starting with a capitalised letter, that term will be defined in the Terms and Conditions or elsewhere in this Privacy Policy.
If you do not agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy or the Terms and Conditions, you should not use the Site.
This policy is in effect from July 2nd 2018.
