What Personal Information About Customers Does BlueHorizonPrints.com.au gather?
The information we learn from customers helps us personalise and continually improve your shopping experience at BlueHorizonPrints.com.au. We use the information to handle orders, deliver products and services, process payments, communicate with you about orders, products, services and promotional offers, update our records and generally maintain your accounts with us, display content such as wish lists and customer reviews and recommend merchandise and services that might be of interest to you. We also use this information to improve our store and platform, prevent or detect fraud or abuses of our website and enable third parties to carry out technical, logistical or other functions on our behalf.
Here are the types of information we gather.
Information You Give Us: we receive and store any information you enter on our website 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, customising future shopping for you, improving our store, and communicating with you. You provide most such information when you search, buy, bid, post, participate in a contest or questionnaire or communicate with customer service. For example, you provide information when you: search for a product; place an order through BlueHorizonPrints.com.au, or one of our third-party sellers; make a purchase; provide information in your account (and you might have more than one if you have used more than one e-mail address when shopping with us); communicate with us by phone, e-mail or otherwise; complete a questionnaire or a contest entry form; compile wish lists or other gift registries, provide and rate reviews; and employ other personal notification services such as available to order-notifications.
As a result of those actions, you might supply us with such information as: your name; address and phone number; credit card information; people to whom purchases have been shipped (including addresses and phone numbers); people (with addresses and phone numbers) listed in settings; content of reviews and e-mails to us; the personal description in your account area; and financial information.
Automatic Information: we receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. Examples of the information we collect and analyse include: the Internet Protocol (IP) address used to connect your computer to the internet; login; e-mail address; password; computer and connection information such as browser type and version; operating system and platform; purchase history, which we sometimes aggregate with similar information from other customers to create features such as Top Sellers; the full Uniform Resource Locators (URL) click-stream to, through and from our website (including date and time); cookie number; products you viewed or searched for; sellers shops you visited; your auction history; and any phone number used to call our customer service number. During some visits we may use software tools such as JavaScript to measure and collect session information, including page response times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs), and methods used to browse away from the page.
E-mail Communications: to help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from BlueHorizonPrints.com if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please adjust your opt in preferences in the profile section of Your Account.
Information from Other Sources: we might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. Examples of information we receive from other sources include: updated delivery and address information from our carriers or other third parties, which we use to correct our records and deliver your next purchase or communication more easily; account information, purchase or redemption information and page-view information from some merchants with which we operate co-branded businesses or for which we provide technical, fulfillment, advertising or other services; search results and links, including paid listings (such as Sponsored Links from); and credit history information from credit bureaus, which we use to help prevent and detect fraud and to offer certain credit or financial services to some customers.

BlueHorizonPrints.com.au shares customer information only as described below and with other members of the Sanoma Group of companies to which it belongs, all of which are either subject to this Privacy and Cookie Policy or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy and Cookie Policy.
Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control: We work closely with our affiliated businesses. In some cases, these businesses operate stores at BlueHorizonPrints.com.au or sell offerings to you at BlueHorizonPrints.com.au. In other cases, we operate stores, provide services or sell product lines jointly with or on behalf of these businesses. We make it clear when a third party is involved in your order fulfilment and we share customer information related to those transactions with that third party.
Third Party Service Providers: We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions, but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy and Cookie Policy and as permitted by the UK’s Data Protection Act.
Promotional Offers: Sometimes we send offers to selected groups of Bouf Limited customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address.

Business Transfers: As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy and Cookie Policy (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise).
Protection of BlueHorizonPrints.com and Others: We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law; enforce or apply our Terms and Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of BlueHorizonPrints.com, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organisations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy and Cookie Policy.
With your consent: Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information. Whenever we transfer personal information to countries outside of the European Economic Area in the course of sharing information as set out above, we will ensure that the information is transferred in accordance with this Privacy and Cookie Policy and as permitted by the UK’s Data Protection Act.
How Secure Is Information About Me?
We work to protect the security of your information during transmission by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input.
We reveal only the last five digits of your credit card numbers when confirming an order. Of course, we transmit the entire credit card number to the appropriate credit card company during order processing.
We maintain physical, electronic and procedural safeguards in connection with the collection, storage and disclosure of personally identifiable customer information. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we disclose personal information to you.
It is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. Be sure to Sign Out when you finish using a shared computer.
