Privacy policy
Mude is committed to providing you with the best possible user experience and doing so in a safe, secure and professional manner.
Mude is bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) [Australia], which sets out a number of principles concerning the privacy of individuals. Put simply, in order for us to operate our business and website properly, there are occasions where it is necessary to collect or process personal information (data) about you.
All reasonable efforts have been made to ensure that Mude complies with both Australian and international data protection and privacy laws, like the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’) and all personal data that is collected or processed is held safely and securely and is only used for the appropriate purpose and held for the appropriate amount of time.
At any time, you are free to contact Mude and enquire about this Privacy Policy and how it affects you as a website user and/or customer.
Overview of what constitutes personal information
• Information provided to us by you directly, such as your name or email address when filling out an online form, sending us a message on our contact page or the minimum required information in order to complete a purchase of one of our products
• Information that is automatically sent to us by your computer’s Internet browser when you visit our website, such as your IP address, which browser you are using (eg. Google Chrome, Safari, etc) and which type of device you are using (eg. desktop, tablet, mobile, etc.)
• Information collected in relation to your usage of our website or products, such as which pages you visit, how often you visit the website, etc.
Collection of your personal information
The collection of personal information is only completed when necessary. Information is neither stored nor collected if it is not required for Mude to carry out its duties as a business and in providing reasonable service to website users and customers.
Sharing and the security of your personal information
We may occasionally hire external companies to provide services on our behalf, including but not limited to handling customer support enquiries, processing transactions or deliver digital goods. Those companies will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the service.
The external companies that Mude engages with for data processing include (but are not exclusively limited to) the use of a website host, email service provider, analytics service (Google Analytics), lead generation software and others. All appropriate measures have been taken to ensure that these external companies are also compliant with Australian and international data protection and privacy laws (like the ‘GDPR’).
Security precautions are taken in relation to both sharing personal information with these external companies and with Mude’s internal data security measures. No personal data is stored on portable devices, system logins are kept secure and all files containing sensitive data are password protected. Https and SSL certificates are also used on this website to ensure a secure web environment.
