Collecting your personal information

Depending on your involvement with Blackmores, we may collect personal information about you such as your name, your contact details, and other information about you such as your age and health.  

We collect this information when you contact us, or when we ask you for it and you, or others on your behalf authorised by you, provide it to us.

Where you prefer that we do not collect your personal information, we may not be able to assist you or provide services or undertake activities that we would otherwise provide or undertake.

Where reasonably possible, we seek to work with information and records from which personal information has been removed.

When we use and disclose personal information, in addition to complying with privacy laws and requirements, we comply with applicable laws including those relating to our products.

We also collect information that may or may not include your personal information, through technology and tools that tell us when a computer or device has visited or accessed our content.  Those tools include services from search engines and other companies that help us to tailor our content, products and services to better suit consumers and customers.  Search engines provide facilities to allow you to indicate your preferences in relation to the use of those tools in connection with computers and other devices controlled or used by you.

When we pass on or share your personal information in this way, we take steps to ensure it is treated in the same way that we would treat it.
