Privacy Policy – Bellini Couture
Bellini Couture is committed to respecting and protecting the privacy of all visitors and customers using our website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, store, use, and protect your personal information in compliance with Australian law, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), as well as best practices in e-commerce.
Collection and Use of Personal Information
We only collect personal information when it is necessary to provide our services, respond to customer requests, or comply with legal obligations. This information is collected transparently, with the user's consent, and with clear communication about the purposes of use.
Personal data provided by users — such as name, address, phone number, email address, and payment information — is used to process orders, deliver products, send transactional communications, provide customer support, and, when authorised, send promotional or brand-related content.
Storage and Security of Data
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this policy and protect it using physical, technical, and administrative safeguards designed to prevent unauthorised access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure data security, including the use of encryption, secure communication protocols, and restricted access to authorised personnel only.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Bellini Couture does not sell or disclose your personal information to third parties, except when strictly necessary to deliver our services (e.g. shipping providers and payment processors), and only to trusted partners bound by contractual obligations of confidentiality and data protection, or when required by legal or regulatory authorities.
