Commitment to your privacy is important to Hello Mellow. It’s a pretty big deal in general, really. The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), that we are bound to, outlines a range of principals when it comes to your personal information and privacy.
How we collect information from you
While browsing our website you may choose to fill in our contact form and share personal information with us such as, but not limited to, your name, the birthday of your goldfish, contact details, breakfast preference, business information or other personally identifiable information. Your choice to submit this information allows us to identify and/or contact you for the purposes of working together or offering the best possible service to you. The type of personal information you send via our contact forms is optional but the more information we receive will allow us to give you the kick ass service you seek.
How our information is collected when you use our website
While using our site, Hello Mellow collects non-personally identifiable information based on your online use. We will collect information such as, but not limited to, your browser type; version and language; operating system; pages you have viewed on our site; the time you were using our site and referring websites. We collect and analyse this information solely for our own purposes. It helps us analyse and understand the way people use our website. Hopefully it will also help us make the world a better place by eradicating horrible user experiences.
We also use third party services, like Google Analytics, to help us analyse, monitor and understand the non-personally identifiable information collected while you’re on our website. Third-party services such as these have their own privacy policies which explain how they use the information they collect.
Use of Cookies
Yep, we use cookies – and not the choc-chip kind, unfortunately. Cookies are small files that websites store on your browser to improve your experience and help us understand how you use our site.
When you visit Hello Mellow’s website, we may place cookies on your device to collect standard internet log information and visitor behaviour data. This helps us understand how people interact with our website (like which pages are popular or which ones are just sitting there lonely and unloved) so we can improve your experience.
Some of these cookies are essential (like the ones that make the website actually work), while others are used for analytics or to remember your preferences. We also use third-party cookies – like those from Google Analytics – which help us analyse web traffic and user behaviour. These third parties have their own privacy and cookie policies, so if you want to get into the nitty-gritty, we recommend checking those out too.
You can choose to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline them if you prefer. Just a heads-up: turning off cookies may affect how well our website performs for you – kind of like trying to ride a bike with square wheels.
Who uses your information
Occasionally we use third-party companies or individuals (“Suppliers”) who work on our behalf to help us offer the best possible service for our clients. Examples of the suppliers we use include, but are not limited to, SEO consultants, printers, accountants/bookkeepers or couriers. We will only supply your information to third-parties when it is required to perform a business transaction or aid in the delivery of our service. For example, if we needed to send you a life size cut out of David Hasselhoff then we may supply your name and address to our courier.
Changes to our Privacy Policy
Hello Mellow reserves the right to make changes to this Privacy Policy at any time. All amendments will be reposted to this page and take effect immediately so if you really have a thing for privacy policies then check in time to time to see if we’ve made any updates. If you don’t agree with any of the items listed in this privacy policy then we recommend you don’t use our site. Just as my mum always said, ‘if you don’t like the game, don’t play’. We’ll miss you though…
