Privacy Policy

We, KAS Australia Pty Ltd ACN 001 631 545 (“KAS Australia”), recognise that privacy of your personal information is important to you. That is why we minimise the collection of personal information for our business purposes and ensure the accuracy and security of such information. We are committed to protecting your privacy and to complying with the Privacy Act 1988.

We are principally a wholesaler. Wholesaling can utilise a number of facilities and functions including warehouse sales (off the street), the internet, promotional material (using various forms including paper and electronic mail outs), credit and other card systems, and reward schemes. As a successful and long established wholesaler we carry out any or all of these means of business from time to time. We have built an enviable reputation as one of Australia's largest soft furnishings groups on servicing our customers.

Because of the nature of our business, it is necessary for us to obtain personal information about you from time to time. We will however not be unduly intrusive nor obtain or use information in an inappropriate manner. We will only ask for and use personal information we reasonably need to conduct our business. The type of information we collect about you depends on how you use this website. Example, if you decide to order our products online, we will collect your name, shipping and postal address, email address and contact phone number(s) (for security reasons). If you choose not to give us your personal information, we may not be able to provide certain services to you, such as processing your online order.

We will collect your credit card details if you choose to pay for an ordered product using your credit card online. Alternatively, you can choose to pay using PayPal. If you pay using PayPal, please check the www.paypal.com.au website for details of PayPal’s privacy policies and security measures.

We will only collect the information that you enter onto an online order form if you submit your online order. In other words, if you cancel your online order or log out prior to submitting your order, any information that you had entered is automatically deleted. By submitting an online order you are accepting the terms set out in this Privacy Policy.

We maintain strict standards to prevent unauthorised access to your personal information and ensure correct use of your information. We will use all reasonable endeavours to protect your personal information from unauthorised access. Example, we use the latest SSL V3 encryption standard to ensure information is protected when being sent over the internet. As part of us keeping your personal information private we only allow access on a need-to-know basis. Under no circumstances will any of your information be passed on to anyone other than couriers or delivery companies.

Where permitted by the privacy law, you are able to access your personal information that we hold during ordinary business hours. If you wish to do so, please Contact Us. Also, please contact us whenever there is a change to your personal information or as soon as you're aware that the details we have about you are not accurate, complete or up-to-date. We'll then take all reasonable steps to correct the information so that it's accurate.
