Where we can, we will allow you to deal with us anonymously or by using a pseudonym. However, in some circumstances, this may not be possible, and My Layby may need to collect personal information from you to provide you with a delivery or other service. In some cases, if you do not provide the required personal information we will not be able to provide you with a service.

  Sometimes we use third party platforms to deliver information. These are sites hosted and managed by organisations other than us, and some of these sites are hosted overseas. My Layby’s e-mail platform is maintained in the United States. The security details for this platform can be accessed at http://mailchimp.com/about/security/.

  Data quality and Security

   

  We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is stored securely and is protected from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

  Website usage

   

  Our website is professionally hosted and operates in a secure environment. You should however be aware that there is always an inherent risk in transmitting your personal information via the Internet.

   

  We process online orders all in an SSL secure environment.

   

  We take website and credit card security extremely seriously, and always endeavor to provide a secure safe platform on which to conduct online transactions - mylayby.com uses Debit Success and PayPal SSL.

   

  PayPal

   

  PayPal automatically encrypts your confidential information in transit from your computer to ours using the Secure Sockets Layer protocol (SSL) with an encryption key length of 128-bits (the highest level commercially available). Before you even register or log in to the PayPal site, our server checks that you're using an approved browser - one that uses SSL 3.0 or higher.

   

  Once your information reaches the PayPal site, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. PayPal servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly connected to the Internet, so your private information is available only to authorised computers.

   

  Debit Success

   

  Debit Success is one of Australia’s few billing companies that holds the highest level of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards (PCI DSS) compliance certification. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance is a strict security standard the card schemes (Visa and MasterCard) have introduced globally to ensure personal information is properly protected. This unique security guarantee is something that you can value and trust when signing up to your direct debit billing agreement.

   

  To make sure you are accessing a secure server, check for the unbroken key or closed lock symbol located generally either at the bottom left or top right of your browser window. If it appears, then SSL is active. You can double-check this by looking at the URL as well. If SSL is active, then the first characters of that line will read ‘https’ rather than just ‘http’. It is important for you to take steps to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. Also, you should ensure you logout when you have finished visiting babybunting.com.au, especially if you access it from a shared computer.

   

  Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to your computer for record-keeping purposes. The information collected may be used by Baby Bunting to improve your experience on our website. If you visit an area of the website where you are not required to log on, to read, browse or download information, our system will record the date and time of your visit to our site, the pages viewed and any information downloaded. However, our system will not record any personally identifiable information about you without your consent.

   

  If you complete an online form on our website, the information that you enter on that form will only be collected if you actually submit the form to us. If you change your mind and do not submit the information, any information you have entered up to that point will not be collected by our system and will be discarded (note that if your browser has an “auto complete” function, it might automatically fill in the form again the next time you visit that page).

   

  Any personal information that you actually submit to us using our website or in an e-mail will only be used in accordance with this privacy policy.

   

  My Layby endeavors to ensure the accuracy of our website pricing and content. In the case of a technical based pricing or content error, we reserve the right to cancel or refund the mistaken purchase price to you. If an order is rejected on our website we will endeavor to notify you within a reasonable time after the order has been submitted.
