Privacy

No fun skiing things to see here, but we have to include the below jargon. We won't sell your information, but we use services (Shopify, Google, etc.) to keep this website operating. This boilerplate informs you that we use these services and we want you to know if you have any concerns about any of these things below, just reach out!

2. Our Privacy Commitment 

Protecting your privacy is important to us. This privacy policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you visit and interact with our website.

Information We Collect

This policy applies to all personal information that is collected through Desert Skis Pty Ltd’s website. When using certain pages, you may provide details such as:

  • Name
  • Company Name
  • Email Address
  • Phone Number
  • Business Type
  • Service Area
  • Website usage data via cookies
  • Account credentials
  • Payment details (credit/debit card information)
  • Website Analytics

We use cookies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small files that store preferences to improve website functionality. You can manage or block cookies through your browser settings, but this may limit certain website features.

While we may link to external websites, we do not have control over their privacy practices. We encourage users to review the privacy policies of third-party sites.

Desert Skis Pty Ltd also uses Google Analytics to analyse traffic and usage patterns on our website. Google Analytics anonymises your data and does not link it to personal information. By using our website, you consent to this data processing as per Google’s Privacy Policy.

3. Our E-Commerce Platform

Our online store is hosted on Shopify Inc., which provides us with the e-commerce platform that enables us to offer our products and services to you. Shopify securely hosts your data through its data storage and databases, ensuring that your personal information is stored on a secure server protected by a firewall.

4. Payment Processing 

When you make a purchase, and if you choose to use a direct payment gateway, Shopify will securely store your credit card details. This information is encrypted according to the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your payment information is retained only as long as necessary to process your transaction. Once your purchase is completed, your transaction data is promptly deleted.

For additional information, you may review Shopify’s Terms of Service or Privacy Statement by following the provided links.

5. Use of your information

The information you provide us is used to complete orders and offer customer support. We do not share your personal information with third parties unless you provide consent, or it is necessary for processing your transactions or complying with legal obligations.

You retain ownership of your data, but Desert Skis Pty Ltd stores and manages it. We may use your information to improve our products and services, but we will not use your data in ways outside of what is described in this policy without your prior consent, except in the following cases:

  • To investigate potential fraud, illegal activities, or safety concerns.
  • If Desert Skis Pty Ltd is involved in a merger or acquisition, we will notify you and explain how your data will be handled.

6. DATA SHARING AND ANALYTICS

We may participate in a data sharing programme to enhance our website optimisation services. This programme allows us to aggregate data from our clients to generate insights and trends regarding website performance and SEO effectiveness. Any data used in this programme is anonymised to ensure privacy.

You can opt out of this programme at any time by adjusting your account settings

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable physical, electronic, and managerial measures to protect your information from unauthorised access. However, no security system is completely immune to breaches. While we work hard to secure your data, we cannot guarantee complete protection from unauthorised access or misuse.

Your account requires a unique password, and you are responsible for keeping this information secure.
