The International Auster Club (IAC) Privacy Policy

At the IAC, we are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information we collect about you to process orders and to provide a more personalised shopping experience. Please read on for more detail about our privacy policy.

What information do we collect? How do we use it?

When you join as a member we need to collect certain personal details from you such as your name, address, etc, this is in order that we can administer the club properly and efficiently. We also prefer to have your current email address on file so we can contact you. If you order goods from us, we will need your name and address in order to deliver the order to you, it also helps if we have your email address and telephone number so we can contact you quickly in case we need to clarify something. When you enter a contest or other promotional feature, we may ask for your name, address and email address so we can administer the contest and notify winners.

Whenever you place orders or access your account details, it is done so over a secure connection. The secure server software (SSL) encrypts all information you input before it is sent to us. Furthermore, as required by the UK Data Protection Acts of 1984 and 1998, we follow strict security procedures in the storage and disclosure of information which you have given us, to prevent unauthorised access. Our security procedures mean that we may occasionally request proof of identity before we are able to disclose sensitive information to you.

Our cookies do not contain any personally identifying information, but they do enable us to provide features such as personalised shopping and remembering you between visits. Most Web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to prevent that. Even without a cookie, you can still use most of the features in our store, including placing items in your shopping basket and purchasing them.

The IAC does not sell, trade or rent your personal information to others. In Summary we are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information we collect on the site to administer the club, make shopping at the IAC shop possible and to enhance your overall experience.
