4. Our purposes for handling your personal information, and how we may disclose your personal information

As a general rule, we only process personal information for purposes that are reasonably necessary for our business functions or activities (including the operation of the Site). In general, we collect, hold, use and disclose the personal information that we collect through the Site to: (a) offer and provide you with our goods and services (including by processing orders that you submit through the Site);
(b) manage and administer those goods and services, including account keeping procedures;

(i) otherwise to manage our business. We will not use or disclose your personal information for any other purpose unless you have consented to that use or disclosure, or the disclosure is otherwise permitted under the Privacy Act. We may disclose personal information between our organisations or to third parties such as our delivery service partners, payment processing service providers, suppliers, organisations that provide us with technical and support services, or our professional advisors, where permitted by the Privacy Act. If we disclose information to a third party, we generally require that the third party protect your information to the same extent that we do.

5. Protection of personal information

We will hold personal information as either secure physical records, electronically on our intranet system, in cloud storage, and in some cases, in records that are stored on third party servers, which may be located overseas. We maintain appropriate physical, procedural and technical security for our offices and information storage facilities so as to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or modification of personal information. This also applies to disposal of personal information. We further protect personal information by restricting access to personal information to only those who need access to the personal information do their job. Appropriate physical, electronic and managerial measures are taken to safeguard the security and integrity of your personal information. We will destroy or de-identify personal information once it is no longer needed for a valid purpose or required to be kept by law.

6. Direct marketing

Like most businesses, marketing is important to our continued success. We therefore like to stay in touch with customers and let them know about new opportunities. We may provide you with information about new products, services and promotions either from us, or from third parties which may be of interest to you. We will not disclose your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your consent. You may opt out at any time if you no longer wish to receive commercial messages from LMG, or from any particular Store. You can make this request by clicking the 'unsubscribe' link in any email we send you and following the process to unsubscribe to future messages and promotions. We may also offer the ability to change your marketing and promotions preferences in your online account profile page.

7. Cookies and Data Analytics

A cookie is a small text file stored in your computer’s (or your mobile device's) memory or on your hard disk for a pre-defined period of time. The Site uses cookies to identify specific machines in order to collect aggregate information on how visitors are experiencing the Site. This information will help to better adapt the Site to suit personal requirements. While cookies allow a computer or mobile device to be identified, they do not permit any reference to a specific individual. For information on cookie settings of your internet browser, please refer to your browser’s manual. We may use third party vendors to show our ads on sites on the Internet and serve these ads based on a user’s prior visits to the Site. We may also use analytics data supplied by these vendors to inform and optimise our ad campaigns based on your prior visits to the Site. We may also use data that we collect through the Site (including transaction records, usage data and personal information) to generate aggregated and de-identified statistical data sets. These aggregated and de-identified data sets may be used for statistical analysis and research in connection with our businesses, including for marketing and product development purposes.

8. Accessing and correcting your personal information

You may contact LMG or any Store to request access to the personal information that it holds about you and/or to make corrections to that information, at any time. On the rare occasions when access is refused, LMG or the Store (as applicable) will provide you with a written notice stating our reasons for refusing access. LMG or the Store (as applicable) may seek to recover from you reasonable costs incurred for providing you with access to any of the personal information that you request. A request to correct your personal information may be refused if LMG or the Store (as applicable) does not agree that the information requires correction. If this occurs, LMG or the Store (as applicable) will provide you with a written notice stating our reasons for refusing. LMG or the Store (as applicable) will respond to all requests for access to or correction of personal information within a reasonable time.

9. Overseas transfers of personal information

We may disclose your personal information to our related entities, service providers and agents, some of whom may use facilities that are located overseas, including in countries such as the United States of America. Please note that the use of overseas facilities to store personal information may not always involve a disclosure of personal information under the Privacy Act. By providing your personal information to us in connection with the Site, you consent to us disclosing your personal information to any such overseas recipients for purposes necessary or useful in the course of operating our business and the Site, and agree that Australian Privacy Principle 8.1 will not apply to such disclosures. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that an overseas recipient breaches the Australian Privacy Principles, that entity will not be bound by, and you will not be able to seek redress under, the Privacy Act.
