b) By using cookies and other technologies

In addition, we may use ‘cookies’ to collect data relating to your general Internet usage. This data may include IP-addresses, browser version, number of visits and similar such data relating to your navigation of the Internet and our site. A ‘cookie’ is a small text file that is placed on your computer’s hard drive. Cookies help us to improve our site and to deliver a better and more personalised service, for instance by storing information about your preferences and allowing us to recognise you when you return to our site.

You may refuse to accept cookies by activating settings on your Internet browser. However, please note that if you select such settings you may be unable to access certain parts of our site.

We gather certain information about the users of our site automatically and store it in log files. This information includes Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, and clickstream data. This information does not identify individual users. We use this information to identify usage trends, to administer the site, to track users’ movements around the site and to gather demographic information about our users collectively.

We also use pixel tags on the website, which are small graphics on each web page that tell us what parts of our website customers have visited or to measure the effectiveness of searches customers perform on our site. This information is analysed for us by Google Analytics.

Midnight Oil uses Google Analytics to gather statistical information on how users interact with the site. Click here for the Google Analytics privacy policy.

TRANSMISSION OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION VIA THE INTERNET

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Any transmission is therefore at your own risk.

Once we have received your personal information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access. However, we cannot guarantee that any information you submit to us will be free from unauthorised third party intrusion.

Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share the password with anyone.

Midnight Oil has taken precautions to ensure that any credit card payments via the website are safe and secure. We store your credit card details after your first purchase so you don’t need to continually enter and transmit those details over the internet. To protect your personal information and privacy, we automatically encrypt your credit card data using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). SSL encrypts all of your personal information, including credit card number, name, and address, so that it cannot be read as the information travels over the Internet.

You will know when transmitted data is safe by the appearance of a security notice when you enter a secure page. Usually, a secure icon will appear on your browser. Secure web pages can also be identified by their URL: they begin with ‘https://’, while standard pages begin with ‘http://’.

Midnight Oil has also implemented measures to ensure that your stored credit card details are kept safe.

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS KEPT OR TRANSFERRED

The personal information that we collect may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside Australia, for instance if any of our servers from time to time are located outside Australia or if one of our service providers or suppliers is located in a country outside Australia or if we share your personal information (in accordance with the ‘With whom we share your personal information’ section below).
