Collecting Your Personal Information

Providing personal information is not a prerequisite for accessing the smokinhot.com.au website. It is however, necessary when placing an order online, registering to receive information or providing feedback. In these cases you will see that some of the information you are asked to provide is mandatory (without which you will be unable to complete the process) and some is voluntary.

SMOKIN’HOT collects information that does personally identify you to carry out the functions offered on the different areas of the site that you choose to access.

Apart from the information you personally provide to us, we may collect navigational information when you browse the smokinhot.com.au site. This is general information like your domain type, IP service provider, browser type and IP address and is presented in the form of an overall average use on a daily basis and does not contain personal information about you.

We also use a browser feature known as a cookie, which assigns a unique identification to your computer and are typically stored on your computer’s hard drive. Both navigational information and cookies are used by us to identify problems, evaluate the effectiveness of our website and analyse trends. With this knowledge, we can improve the quality of your experience on our website by recognising and delivering more of the most desired features.

It is possible for you to configure your browser to reject the receipt of cookies if you wish, however the shopping section of smokinhot.com.au will not function.

How Your Personal Information is Held

SMOKIN’HOT has implemented stringent security measures to protect the information we collect at our website. We receive and store the information on our secure databases which are only accessible as needed by authorised SMOKIN’HOT staff that are fully aware of the importance of confidentiality.

If you are visiting smokinhot.com.au from a location outside Australia, your connection will be through, and to, servers located in Australia. Your orders placed with smokinhot.com.au will be accepted and fully processed in, and shipped from, Australia unless otherwise notified. All information you provide will be processed and securely maintained in our web servers and internal systems located in Australia.

Furthermore, your personal information is not stored or remotely accessible on our website or on servers whose specific function is for the internet. What that means is that if there is, despite our best efforts, an intrusion to our internet server, you can be assured that your personal information and any data relating to yourself personally are not obtainable.

However, due to the nature of the internet, SMOKIN’HOT cannot guarantee that your personal information will always be secure, either during its transmission to SMOKIN’HOT or from unauthorised access during storage.

To assist SMOKIN’HOT with protecting all personal information, we request that you contact SMOKIN’HOT immediately you become aware, or have reason to believe of, any unauthorised use of personal information.

Using and Disclosing Your Personal Information

SMOKIN’HOT does not sell, rent or disclose your email address or other personal information to unrelated third parties unless required to do so by law, or based on our belief and in good faith, that it is necessary to protect the users of our website or the public.

We use the information gathered for processing your order, developing our website and for planning in improving our products and services to customers and visitors to the website.

We may use the information you provide to inform you about new SMOKIN’HOT products or items of interest via email or postal mail.
