We may need to update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect our current privacy practices or changes in the law. When we make any material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will post the updated policy on our website.
  

1. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The types of personal information we collect depends on the nature of our engagement with you.

Examples of personal information we may collect include basic contact and shipping information such as address, email address, phone and mobile phone number and Internet Protocol (IP) address.

It is important to be aware that if you access another party’s website or application using one of our products or services or via our website, that other party will deal with your personal information in accordance with its own Privacy Policy. You will need to review those websites to view a copy of the relevant Privacy Policy.

It is generally not practical to remain anonymous or to use a pseudonym when dealing with us as usually we need to use your personal information to provide specific services to you, or which relate to or involve you.

2. COLLECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION

Generally we collect your personal information from you directly, for example, when you sign up for our e-newsletter subscription for latest promotion or updates, when you send us correspondence (including via email), or when you complete your order checkout.

We may also collect personal information about you from your use of our websites and social media and information you provide to us through contact mailboxes.

3. HOLDING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We hold personal information in both hard copy and electronic formats. In some cases, we engage third parties to host electronic data (including data in relation to the services we provide) on our behalf. We take security measures to protect the personal information we hold which includes physical controls (for example, security passes to enter our offices and storage of files in lockable cabinets) as well as technological controls (for example, restriction of access, firewalls, the use of encryption, passwords and digital certificates).

We also have policies and processes which govern document retention and data breach incidents. We endeavour to ensure that personal information is kept as current as possible and that irrelevant or excessive data is deleted or made anonymous as soon as reasonably practicable. However, some personal information may be retained for varying time periods in order to comply with legal and regulatory obligations and for other legitimate business reasons.

4. PURPOSE FOR COLLECTING, HOLDING, USING AND DISCLOSING PERSONAL INFORMATION

We will only use your information if we have a lawful reason to do so such as when it’s our legal duty, if we have your consent and when it’s in our legitimate interest to do so. Reasons include:

• To provide, improve and properly manage our products and services to you
• To keep you informed of our latest updates or promotions
• To seek your feedback on our products and services
• For administrative purposes, including:
  • processing payment transactions,
  • charging and billing,
  • detecting or preventing fraud,
  • identifying breaches of our terms and conditions of purchases.

We may also use non-personal, de-identified and aggregated information for several purposes including for data analytics, research, submissions, thought leadership and promotional purposes. Any output is anonymised or aggregated so that no personal information or information relating specifically to you is reasonably identifiable.

Lagom Gear may also use your personal information for the purpose of marketing its services to you. This may include products, services and offers provided by our alliance partners. If you do not want to receive marketing material from us, you can contact us as detailed below:

Where we do this, we require these parties to take appropriate measures to protect that information and to restrict how they can use that information.
