When you order an item from us,
we collect your name, address, contact number and email address. This
information will be used to process orders and, if necessary, to
contact you regarding the status of your orders.
Credit/Debit Card Transactions

handle or store any information in relation to the online credit card

by Paypal using their Secure Processing

Sharing your information with
other companies
We have a firm commitment to
protecting your privacy and security as our customer. We do not
sell, trade or share individual customer contact
information with third parties. If in the future we review our
policy, we would inform you via e-mail of an
impending change and offer you the opportunity to
extend your right to opt in.
Purchase History
A record is kept of your
purchases. Your previous orders may be used to present you with
the most relevant products and gift ideas and to provide you
with a better overall user experience. Your individual order
information will not be provided to third parties for
any purpose. Purchase history information may be
disclosed to third parties in aggregate (in other words on a
group basis), however, this information will not be traceable to
any particular customer. You have the right through Data
Protection legislation to request, for a small fee, any data we
hold on you. Please contact if you wish to enquire about the
data we hold.
What information do we compile?
In addition to the details
provided by you when using the site, information is
automatically retrieved, for example on browsing patterns
through the site. This is used only in aggregate form; no
individual will be identified. The aggregate data allows
GroovyChocolate Pty Ltd to analyse the site traffic and thus
improve the service offered.
Information Storage
Information is stored centrally
on a secure database. Direct access to this database is
restricted to authorised GroovyChocolate staff and their
appointed agents. GroovyChocolate Pty Ltd has taken every
reasonable step to ensure that your information is held securely
at all times and that access to it is closely monitored.
Will my customer contact
information be disclosed to third parties?
GroovyChocolate reserves the
right to co-operate with law enforcement officials in the
investigation of alleged unlawful activities of our customers
related to electronic communication transmitted on our site. We
will have no legal liability for such disclosures.
Are my personal pictures and
messages private when I purchase gifts?
All GroovyChocolate cards will be
checked for quality control purposes and will be screened for
defamatory, racist, offensive, abusive, indecent or obscene
pictures or messages and for those that may be menacing or in
breach of confidence, copyright or any other legal rights. After
this quality control process the product will be packaged in
such a way that neither the picture nor message can be seen
during transit. Once your chocolates have been printed, the
original photo files are deleted from our computers shortly afterwards.
We occasionally like to feature photos of finished customers'
chocolates on our
website, permission to do so is assumed granted unless we are
told otherwise. Personal information will never be displayed.
What are cookies and how do we
use them?
A cookie is a small file that can
be stored on your computer's hard drive. GroovyChocolate uses
cookies to provide features such as auto-login and to determine
when customers have previously registered on our site. Our
cookies do not contain any personal information, so only
GroovyChocolate will be able to use the cookies to determine
your identity.
What is an IP address and how
does GroovyChocolate use them?
An IP address is a number that is
assigned to your computer when you are browsing on the Internet.
The servers that hold our web site automatically identify your
computer by its IP address. We do log IP addresses, but the
addresses are not linked to individual customer accounts nor are
they used in any other way to personally identify our customers.
Does GroovyChocolate ensure the
privacy practices of other sites to which it provides links?
While we carefully select the
websites to which we link, we are not responsible for the
privacy practices or the content of these websites.
How will I know when
GroovyChocolate changes its privacy policy?
Our privacy policy is regularly
reviewed to make sure we continue to serve the privacy interests
of our customers. We reserve the right to change and update the
privacy policy and these changes will be posted on this page. We
encourage you to visit this page from time to time to ensure you
are aware of our any changes we may have made.
