PRIVACY POLICY

Norman Australia Pty Ltd

ABN 50 629 428 780

1. Overview

At Norman® (“we”, “us”, “our”), we recognise the importance of protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines the information we may collect, the purposes for which we may collect it, how we protect it, how we may share it, and your choices regarding your personal information. This Policy applies to any information that could reasonably be used to identify you (“Personal Information”) that we collect when you visit our websites, including normanaustralia.com.au and others (the “Sites”), when you use the Norman® Remote Control application, the ShadeAuto application, or other products (“Products”), when you contact us over the telephone, via post, or email, and when you contact us in person.

If you do not want us to collect or use your Personal Information as described in this Policy, please do not use the Sites or Products. We may update this Policy from time to time, and the revised Policy will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. We encourage you to check back periodically for any changes or updates. If we materially change this Policy in a way that affects how we use or disclose your Personal Information, we will post a notice at the top of this page for 30 days. By continuing to use the Site after such revision takes effect, we consider that you have read and understand the changes.

The Sites and Products are intended for Australian audiences only. If you reside outside Australia, please visit our websites for your jurisdiction. If you use the Sites or Products, any information you provide, including Personal Information, will be processed in Australia in accordance with Australian laws and this Policy. Personal Information may also be processed in Taiwan and China. The Privacy Laws of those countries may be less stringent than the law where you reside. However, this does not change our commitments to safeguard your privacy and information will be processed in accordance with Australian laws and this Policy.

2. What Personal Information We Collect

a) Information You Give Us

We collect Personal Information that you voluntarily share with us through the Sites and Products, and when you make enquiries via our website, complete any online forms, submit applications or when you contact us over the telephone or via letter or email. For example, we collect your personal information from you when you participate in our promotional campaigns. This Personal Information may include identifiers such as your name, email address, residential or work addresses and telephone numbers; if you are setting up a business account, you may provide a government issued identification, like a Driver’s License, personal financial account details, including credit card details, and trading entity details. We may process your financial account details, or we may utilise a third-party payment processor.

b) Information We Automatically Collect

When you visit our Sites and use our Products, certain information may be automatically collected, including your browsing history, search history, information about your interaction with our Sites, and your IP address. Our Sites use cookies to personalise your experience and help us improve our service offerings. A cookie is a small piece of data that a website or application can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your computer as a tag that identifies your computer. Cookies are used to measure website or application usage and effectiveness, to allow for ease of navigation or use, and to personalise a known visitor’s experience by being associated with profile information or user preferences. We may utilise third party service providers to assist us in placing cookies on the Sites and analysing how users navigate the Sites.

While many websites and applications, including our Sites, do not currently recognise automated browser signals such as “do not track” instructions, you can generally express your privacy preferences regarding the use of most cookies and similar technologies through your web browser. Look under the heading “tools” (or similar heading) in your particular browser for information about controlling cookies. In most instances, you can choose to have your browser warn you each time a cookie is being sent, giving you the option to decide whether to accept it or not. You can also generally set your browser to turn off cookies. Like most websites, if you turn your cookies off, some of the features on the Site may not function properly. You can also delete cookies already on your device via the settings of your web browser.

c) Information From Other Sites

We may also receive information about you from other sources, including through third-party services and organisations. For example, if you choose to use third-party services like Stripe to make a payment, we may receive information from these third-party services to process your order.

d) Third-Party Sites

Some promotions or offers may link to or have plugins from websites and applications operated by third parties (“Third-Party Sites”) and may be subject to separate privacy conditions and may require separate consent. It is your choice to enter, or share information with, any Third-Party Site. Your use of these links and applications is subject to the Third Parties’ privacy policies, and you should become familiar with their privacy policies before using the links or applications. Norman® is not responsible for the privacy policies or the personal data practices of these Third-Party Sites.
