We may collect from you information that is not personal information at the time of collection (Non-identifiable Information), for example payment card information. By choosing to register with us for other reasons, for example to receive electronic receipts, you agree that we may combine the Non-identifiable Information with your personal information that we collect, or that is otherwise held by Briscoe Group, in a manner that will change the nature of the Non-identifiable Information such that it becomes personal information. You agree that we may use this Non-identifiable Information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may use cloud computing to manage and store information.

We keep your electronic personal information secure using reasonable security systems and by making regular backups of our data.

You have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we hold about you and to ask for it to be corrected if it is wrong.

If we do share personal information with third parties, we will support them to protect it to the same high standard as we do.  Third parties include other companies and individuals to assist us with payment, point of sale, product issue resolution, marketing, data processing, IT, archival, auditing, accounting, customer contact, legal, business consulting, banking, delivery, data analysis, document management, research, investigation, insurance, website and other services.

Briscoe Group utilises a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information.  All customer contact information is protected using suitable security measures and is only accessible by a limited number of employees and service providers who have a need to access it.

We take website and credit card security extremely seriously and always endeavour to provide a secure, safe platform from which to conduct online transactions.  We use the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer protocol, which encrypts information as it is transmitted over the internet.  This encryption scrambles details such as credit card numbers and personal information, so that other computers are unable to decipher the information, ensuring privacy and security.

However, please note that whilst we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to safeguard the personal information that you provide to us, no transmission over the internet can ever be guaranteed secure.  Consequently, we cannot guarantee the security of any personal information that you transfer over the internet to us.

We usually retain CCTV footage for a period of 30 days. We may retain CCTV footage for longer if required by law, or if we think doing so is appropriate to help us with any of the purposes outlined above.
