The Privacy policy contains the following sections

1. Automatic Information: We receive and store certain types of information whenever you interact with us. For example, like many websites, we use “cookies”, and we obtain certain types of information when your Web browser accesses Maharishiayurveda.com.au, or advertisements and other content served by or on behalf of Maharishiayurveda.com.au on other Web sites. We may also receive/store information about your location and your mobile device, including a unique identifier for your device. We may use this information for internal
analysis and to provide you with location-based services, such as advertising, search results, and other personalised content.

2. E-mail & SMS Communications: To help us make e-mails more useful and interesting, we often receive a confirmation when you open e-mail from Maharishiayurveda.com.au if your computer supports such capabilities. We also compare our customer list to lists received from other companies in an effort to avoid sending unnecessary messages to our customers. If you do not want to receive e-mail or other mail from us, please send us an email at info@maharishayurveda.com.au. You can also click the unsubscribe button at the bottom of any marketing email which we have sent to you to stop receiving marketing emails from us.

3.Information from Other Sources: We might receive information about you from other sources and add it to our account information. By using or continuing to use the site you agree to our use of your information (including sensitive personal information) in accordance with this Privacy Notice, as may be amended from time to time by Maharishiayurveda.com.au in its discretion. You also agree and consent to us collecting, storing, processing, transferring and sharing information (including sensitive personal information) related to you with third parties or service providers for the purposes as set out in this Privacy Notice.

What About Cookies?

Cookies are alphanumeric identifiers that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser and to provide features such as ‘Recommended for You’, personalised advertisements on other Web sites (e.g., Maharishi AyurVeda Associates with content served by Maharishiayurveda.com.au) and storage of items in your Shopping Cart between visits. You can disable or delete similar data used by browser add-ons, such as Flash cookies, by changing the add-on’s settings or visiting the website of its manufacturer. However, because cookies allow you to take advantage of some of Maharishiayurveda.com.au’s essential features, we recommend that you leave them turned on. For instance, if you block or otherwise reject our cookies, you will not be able to add items to your Shopping Cart, proceed to Checkout, or use any Maharishiayurveda.com.au products and services that require you to Sign in to your account. If you do leave cookies turned on, be sure to sign off when you finish using a shared computer.

Does Maharishi AyurVeda share the Information it receives?

Information about our customers is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling it to others. Maharishiayurveda.com.au shares customer information only as described below and with Maharishiayurveda.com.au subsidiaries which Maharishiayurveda.com.au, controls and that are either subject to this Privacy Notice or follow practices at least as protective as those described in this Privacy Notice.

Affiliated Businesses We Do Not Control:
We work closely with affiliated businesses. In some cases, these businesses operate stores at Maharishiayurveda.com.au or sell offerings to you at Maharishiayurveda.com.au. In other cases, we provide services jointly with or on behalf of these businesses. Click here for some examples of co-branded and joint offerings. You can tell when a third party is involved in your transactions, and we share customer information related to those transactions with that third party.

Third Party Service Providerd:
We employ other companies and individuals to perform functions on our behalf. Examples include fulfilling orders, delivering packages, sending postal mail and e-mail, removing repetitive information from customer lists, analysing data, providing marketing assistance, providing search results and links (including paid listings and links), processing credit card payments and providing customer service. They have access to personal information needed to perform their functions but may not use it for other purposes. Further, they must process the personal information in accordance with this Privacy Notice and as permitted by applicable law.

Promotional Offers:
We may from time to time, send offers to selected groups of Maharishiayurveda.com.au customers on behalf of other businesses. When we do this, we do not give that business your name and address. If you do not want to receive such offers, please adjust your Customer Communication Preferences.

Business Transfers:
As we continue to develop our business, we might sell or buy stores, subsidiaries or business units. In such transactions, customer information generally is one of the transferred business assets but remains subject to the promises made in any pre-existing Privacy Notice (unless, of course, the customer consents otherwise). Also, in the unlikely event that Maharishiayurveda.com.au, or substantially all its assets are acquired, customer information will of course be one of the transferred assets.

Protection of Maharishiayurveda.com.au and others:
We release account and other personal information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with applicable law; enforce or apply our Conditions of Use and other agreements; or protect the rights, property or safety of Maharishiayurveda.com.au, our users or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies, organisations, government or regulatory authorities for fraud protection and credit risk reduction. Obviously, however, this does not include selling, renting, sharing or otherwise disclosing personally identifiable information from customers for commercial purposes in a way that is contrary to the commitments made in this Privacy Notice.

With your consent:
Other than as set out above, you will receive notice when information about you might go to third parties, and you will have an opportunity to choose not to share the information.
