Who are we?

CHECKOUT MY SHED PTY LTD. ACN: 640656088 (“CHECKOUT MY SHED”, “CHECKOUT MY SHED”, “us” or “we”), the operator of checkoutmyshed.com (as well as associated products, software and services, collectively referred to as the “Services”) and “you”, “your” and “yours” refers to our customers and third parties, excluding employees of CHECKOUT MY SHED.

This Privacy Policy relates to all products, services and websites provided by CHECKOUT MY SHED. By using this site, you acknowledge that you have reviewed the terms of this Privacy Policy (“CHECKOUT MY SHED Privacy Policy”) and agree that we may collect, use, process and transfer your personal data in accordance with this Policy. If you do not agree with these terms, you may choose not to provide any personal data and not to use our site. However, you may then not be able to use our products or services. This Privacy Policy also forms part of the Terms and Conditions for ordering and purchasing CHECKOUT MY SHED’s products and services.

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, CHECKOUT MY SHED and its related entities will collectively be known as “CHECKOUT MY SHED”. As part of the business operations of CHECKOUT MY SHED, all the information you provide may be transferred or accessed by the various entities within the CHECKOUT MY SHED group of companies and by CHECKOUT MY SHED’s offices around the world in accordance with the provisions of this Privacy Policy.

CHECKOUT MY SHED is committed to protecting the privacy of its customers’ personal data and the responsible use of such information in accordance with the relevant laws which relate to data privacy and handling of such information. We have developed this Privacy Policy to explain how we collect, store, use, process and disclose your personal data used online and across regions.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully for a clear understanding of how we collect, use and handle your personal data on our website.

From time to time we may make changes to the CHECKOUT MY SHED Privacy Policy in accordance with legislative changes and business requirements. The most current version of the CHECKOUT MY SHED Privacy Policy will be posted on the CHECKOUT MY SHED website.

Consent needs to be free and informed. You must ensure you understand the purpose for the collection.

In addition to CHECKOUT MY SHED’s safeguards as contained in this Privacy Policy, the relevant laws protect your personal data.

Australia - The Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs”) are contained in schedule 1 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). CHECKOUT MY SHED is considered to be an APP entity under the Australian Privacy Act and must comply with the Australian Privacy Act as to how to handle, use and manage personal information (as defined in the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)).
UK - Your personal data is protected in the UK by the Data Protection Act 1998 which requires data controllers to ensure that your personal data is processed lawfully and fairly. The EU Directive 2016/679 for the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) came into force on 24 May 2016 and will apply from 25 May 2018. The GDPR intends to unify data protection laws within the EU and the export of personal data of EU residents outside the EU. It is likely that the GDPR will be implemented by the UK despite Brexit.
U.S. - Data privacy is not currently highly regulated in the U.S. Although partial regulations exist, there is no all-encompassing law regulating the acquisition, storage, or use of personal data in the U.S. With the exception of California, very few states recognize an individual's right to privacy. The U.S. believes in self-regulation of data protection by companies.

This Privacy Policy sets out how we protect an individual’s personal data and provides information on:

the general categories of personal data we collect;
why we collect an individual's personal data;
how it will be used, and who it will be disclosed to;
the legal basis of our processing that personal data; and
your rights in relation to the personal data we collect.

What Type of Data is Collected?

CHECKOUT MY SHED will collect, store, use, process and disclose personal data in the manner permitted by law.

International Transfers of Personal Data

In certain circumstances we may need to transfer your personal data to countries outside the country in which the data was collected (or, in the case of personal data collected within the European Economic Area (“EEA”), to countries outside the EEA) including our offices (currently located in Australia).
