We are committed to keeping your Personal Information secure and will use all reasonable precautions to protect it from loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration, including:

When you place orders on esplash.com.au or esplash.com, your transactions are encrypted using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology, the industry standard in e-commerce transaction security. Encryption scrambles the information transmitted across the Internet, including your credit card number, name and address. SSL also verifies the identity of the server and confirms that the original message arrives safely at its destination.

You can also be assured that your details in our firewall protected computers and that Personal Information such as Credit Card numbers which you may choose to store, are stored in our firewall protected computer system and not anywhere on the Web Site.

  • The request is frivolous or vexatious;
  • The information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings;
  • The information would reveal our intentions in relation to negotiations in such as way as to prejudice those negotiations.
You can correct, amend or update your Personal Information by using the "Authentication" area of the web site or call us.

For complex or more detailed requests for access to your Personal Information, for example, access to information that is archived, we may require you to place your request in writing and charge you a fee for our reasonable costs of retrieving and supplying the information to you.

In all cases you will be asked to verify who you are before your Personal Information is provided.

All requests for Personal Information will be handled in a reasonable time.
