Collection of Personal Information

What personal data we collect and why we collect it. We recognise that your privacy is essential. This document outlines the types of personal information we receive and collect when you use finchysaustralia.com, as well as some of the steps we take to safeguard information. We hope this will help you make an informed decision about sharing personal information with us. Finchys Australia strives to maintain the highest standards of decency, fairness and integrity in all our operations.      Likewise, we are dedicated to protecting our customers’, consumers’ and online visitors’ privacy on our website.

Finchys Australia collects personally identifiable information from the visitors only voluntarily. Personal information collected voluntarily may include name, postal address, email address, company name and telephone number. This information is obtained if you request information from us, participate in a contest or sign up to join our email list or request some other services or information from finchysaustralia.com.

The information collected is internally reviewed, used to improve the content of our website, notify our visitors of updates and respond to visitor inquiries. Once data is examined, it is discarded or stored in our files. If we make material changes in the collection of personally identifiable information, we will inform you by placing a notice on our site.

Personal information received from any visitor will be used only for internal purposes. We do not share your personal information with any other organisations or individuals. We keep all information you provide to us completely confidential and use it only for the purpose that you intended.

Use of cookies on Finchys Australia

We may use cookies to help you personalise your online experience. Cookies are identifiers that are transferred to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our system to recognise your browser. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise the site’s pages, or register with any of our site’s services, a cookie enables Finchys Australia to recall your specific information on subsequent visits.

Use of web beacons on Finchys Australia

Web Beacons are referred to as web bugs and are commonly used by sites that hire third-party services to monitor traffic. They may be used in association with cookies to understand how visitors interact with the pages and content on the pages of a web site. We may serve third-party advertisements that use cookies and web beacons in the course of ads being served on our website to ascertain how many times you’ve seen an ad.

No personally identifiable information you give us is provided to them for cookie or web beacon use, so they cannot personally identify you with that information on our website. Some third-party advertisements may be provided by Google, which uses cookies that may serve ads on this site. Google uses the dart cookie, which enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visits to this site and other sites on the Web. You may opt out of the use of the dart cookie by visiting the Google ad and content network privacy policy.

We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit websites. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other sites to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you. Browsers can be set to accept or reject cookies or notify you when a cookie is being sent.

By default Finchys Australia website does not collect any personal data about visitors, and only collects the data shown on the User Profile screen from registered users. However some plugins may collect personal data.

Comments

We currently have comments disabled.

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Contact forms

We use the Contact Form 7 plugin to manage contact form submissions. The information is sent as email messages that only the site owners are allowed to access. The information is also stored in the database on our hosting server for backup and later reference purposes. Bluehost hosts this website. We may keep contact form submissions for a certain period for customer service purposes, but do not use the information submitted through them for marketing purposes.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website

Analytics

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses its own “cookies” (see above). Our legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is e. g. The optimisation of our advertising to increase our sales. On behalf of Finchys Australia, Google uses this information to evaluate every use of our websites, to compile reports on website activity in general, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Due to the activation of IP anonymisation on our websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google. By setting this in your browser, you can prevent the installation of cookies.

Plug ins

Source: WP Smush

Smush does not interact with end users on your website. The only input option Smush has is to a newsletter subscription for site admins only. Smush sends images to the WPMU DEV servers to optimize them for web use. This includes the transfer of EXIF data. The EXIF data will either be stripped or returned as it is. It is not stored on the WPMU DEV servers. Smush uses the Stackpath Content Delivery Network (CDN). Stackpath may store web log information of site visitors, including IPs, UA, referrer, Location and ISP info of site visitors for 7 days. Files and images served by the CDN may be stored and served from countries other than your own. Stackpath’s privacy policy can be found here. Smush uses a third-party email service (Drip) to send informational emails to the site administrator. The administrator’s email address is sent to Drip and a cookie is set by the service. Only administrator information is collected by Drip.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Web Fonts

For uniform representation of fonts, this page uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer. Further information about handling user data, can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
