COOKIES
Both the Polished Brands group corporate web site and the company's online stores use "system cookies". A "system cookie" is a small amount of information stored on the user's computer by our web site server.

The "system cookie" identifies the user's browser. It does not identify the user personally and no personal information is stored within Polished Brands "system cookies". "System cookies" can be disabled by the user going to the preferences or options menus in their browser.

INFORMATION SECURITY
Polished Brands takes reasonable security measures to minimize the risk of misuse, interference and loss, and unauthorised third party access, modification or disclosure of personal and credit information.

The company's trading web sites (growhaircare.com.au) conform to the standard of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) technology, with credit card details and other information scrambled (encrypted) to minimise possible misuse by third parties.

A padlock/key is displayed on the lower right hand corner that indicates we have a secure site. Double click the padlock to see our certificate of authenticity.

Our website contains links to other sites, however no personal or credit information is exchanged. These links are for information purposes only.

Polished Brands does not store or keep complete credit card numbers from on-line transactions. The first and last three numbers of your credit card number are kept for order verification purposes only.

While every endeavour is made to ensure every shopping experience with us is a good one, in the event a credit card is used without the holder's authorisation, the card holder must notify their credit card provider in accordance with their reporting rules and procedures.

The internal network also has levels of security to ensure information of a sensitive nature is only accessible by authorised staff members.

All hard copies of information of a sensitive nature are stored securely and are not accessible by unauthorised persons.

Polished Brands will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if it is no longer needed for any purpose for which the information may be used or disclosed.

CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE
The Polished Brands' websites are accessible to people of all ages. However, we are mindful that some customers who register as members may be under the age of 18. In the interests of their personal safety, we urge children to check with their parents before entering personal information on any website and ask parents to discuss these issues with their children.

Polished Brands will also ensure that appropriate disclosures are made at the time of collection of other information from minors, and will only collect this information as is reasonably necessary in the circumstances. Information collected will only be used for the purposes of which it was collected.
