We may collect personal information about you when you use and access our websites. We may record certain information about your use of our websites, such as that you have logged in, which pages you visit, what content or documents you access and download and when, the time and date of your visit and the internet protocol address assigned to your computer.

By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of your data for tracking and data analysis purposes. This includes the use of artificial intelligence algorithms or ‘cookies’ to analyse user behaviour, preferences, and interactions with the website. Cookies are small files that store information on your computer, TV, mobile phone or other device. They enable the entity that put the cookie on your device to recognise you across different websites, services, devices and/or browsing sessions. You can disable cookies through your internet browser but our websites may not work as intended for you if you do so.

We may also use cookies to enable us to collect data that may include personal information. For example, where a cookie is linked to your account, it will be considered personal information under relevant legislation. We will handle any personal information collected by cookies in the same way that we handle all other personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

6. Security

We may hold your personal information in either electronic or hard copy form. We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure and we use a number of physical, administrative, personnel and technical measures to protect your personal information.

For example, we:

  • provide training to our employees in relation to our privacy and security policies and procedures;
  • maintain secure premises and protect them from unauthorised access by using fences, alarms and CCTV;
  • maintain a framework of information technology security policies, processes, systems and architecture to protect our internal networks, system and data from unauthorised access; and
  • regularly review and evaluate our information security management practices, processes, systems and controls.

Although we take these reasonable steps, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. In particular, as you will often be required to provide personal information through our website, and the internet is inherently insecure, we cannot provide any warranty or assurance regarding security of the information you transmit to us via our web sites and you do so at your own risk. Avery will not be liable in any way in relation to any breach of security or unintended loss or disclosure of information due to our web sites being linked to the internet.

7. Links

Our websites may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Those links are provided for convenience and may not remain current or be maintained. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of, or any content on, those linked websites, and have no control over or rights in those linked websites. The privacy policies that apply to those other websites may differ substantially from our Privacy Policy, so we encourage individuals to read them before using those websites.

8. Direct Marketing

By creating an account with us, subscribing to our database or entering competitions run by us, you consent to us using your Personal Information for marketing purposes. When we send such communications by email, we will provide you a mechanism through which you can request us to remove your email addresses from the active direct marketing mailing list. You can also decline to receive other promotional or marketing communications or materials, such as printed mailing or telephone calls by contacting us using the contact information in the “Contact Us” section below.

9. Accessing or correcting your personal information

You can access the personal information that we hold about you by logging into your account or contacting us using the contact information in the “Contact Us” section below. In some cases, we may not be able to provide access to certain personal information and when this is the case, we will tell you the reasons for not being able to provide this information. We may also need to verify your identity when you request your personal information.

If you consider that any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, please contact us and we will take reasonable steps to ensure that it is corrected. Where we consider no correction is necessary, you may request that we attach to the information a statement that a correction was sought but not made. Such attachment will be in a manner that reasonably ensures that both statements are read together.
