2. Types of Information Collected

We collect information about you for three main reasons:

• To process your online order.
• To provide you with the most efficient possible service.
• To inform you of the latest shop activities, events, sales.

Personal Data

This is data that identifies you or can be used to identify or contact you and may include your name, address, email address, user IP addresses in circumstances where they have not been deleted, clipped or anonymised, telephone number, birth date and billing and credit card information. Such information is only collected from you if you voluntarily submit it to us.

Like most websites, we gather statistical and other analytical information collected on an aggregate basis of all visitors to our website. This Non-Personal Data comprises information that cannot be used to identify or contact you, such as demographic information regarding, for example, user IP addresses where they have been clipped or anonymised, browser types and other anonymous statistical data involving the use of our website.

The information submitted as part of the loyalty scheme and newsletter subscription will be used to personally keep in touch and let you know of any offers, sales or promotions that Outback Jacks are carrying out. If you do not wish to continue to receive marketing materials from us you should opt-out by amending 'Your Details' in 'Your Account', when signing in.

Note: opting out of communications by email voids your entry into Outback Jacks Loyalty scheme and as such the loyalty card provided to you will be cancelled.
