What personal information do we gather and store?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at Honest to Goodness. Here are the types of information we gather.

Information you give us: We receive and store any information you enter on our web site or give us in any other way. You can choose not to provide certain information, but then you might not be able to take advantage of many of our features. We use the information that you provide for such purposes as responding to your requests, fulfilling orders, customising future shopping for you, improving our store features, and communicating with you.

Automatic information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with our website. For example, like many web sites "cookies" are used to obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses our website. Cookies are alphanumeric identifier text files that are transferred to your computers hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser and to provide features such as storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits.

E-mail communications: To improve our service and your shopping experience. We will sometimes send you newsletters with our special offers, new products and special events. We will also email to notify you of changes to our policies, and for your order confirmations. If you do not want to receive e-mail from us, other than order notifications and receipts, please let us know by emailing shop@goodness.com.au or to unsubscribe to the newsletter reply with the subject ‘Unsubscribe'.

Who has access to the information we receive?
We respect your privacy and appreciate your business. Only specific employees or sub-contractors in our customer care, marketing, store, warehouse systems and IT areas have access to your personal information, and only under strict controls and procedures. Obviously, we may need to share your name and address and at times phone number with our carrier to ensure reliable and efficient delivery of your orders. At no time do we ever provide your contact details or payment information to any third party vendor, associate or service provider.

How is my personal information stored?
Your information is stored in a secure database, except credit information which is sent straight to our administrative computer via a process called Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. We use industry standard 128 bit encryption. SSL locks all critical information passed from you to us, such as payment information, in an encrypted envelope, making it extremely difficult for this information to be intercepted. Credit card details are not permanently stored on our website. We use 1024 bit encryption for temporary storage. The card number is only accessed and processed by the online shop manager who debits the credit card when the order is ready to be sent. Once the order has been sent your card details are deleted from the system and cannot be retrieved. We do not store your credit card details in any way. Consequently you will have to enter your credit card details for each new order.

If you have any concern about privacy of your personal information as used and collected within our website, please send us a thorough description by clicking on the "Contact Us" link on the side menu, and we will try to resolve it.
