Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

1.1     We, at J Farren-Price, respect and value your privacy.  We are fully committed to protecting your personal data and information.  Our privacy policy below, details how we collect and use personal information, your rights to the information and the legal bases we rely on to process and/or use information.

1.2     Personal information covers any information about a living person from which they can be identified. Anonymous data, which is information from which a person’s identity has been removed, is not personal information.

1.3     This privacy policy should be read together with our terms of use, our online purchases policy and our cookies policy, also available on our website.

2. About us

2.1     J-Farren Price is a luxury watch and jewellery boutique, based in Sydney, Australia.  We also sell our products and services online to the general public within Australia.  For more information on our business, you can visit our website.  Our contact details are found in section 13 of this privacy policy.

2.2     The data controllers of your personal information, in our business, is our company Farren-Price Pty Ltd (ACN 624 340 496) as trustee for the Farren-Price Trust (ABN 84 276 219 215), which trade as “J Farren-Price Jewellers” and “Farren-Price Jewellers”, and “J Farren-Price”, respectively.

3. Grounds for collecting personal data

3.1     Privacy and data protection laws in Australia (in particular, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)) and the European Union (EU) (in particular, the General Protection Data Regulation 2016/679) set out various bases upon which businesses can legally collect and process an individual’s personal information.  We outline below some of these bases.  We will generally only use your personal data for the purpose or purposes for which it was collected, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is consistent with the original purpose.

A. With your permission or consent

3.2     With your permission or consent only, we can collect and process your personal information.  Your consent will be necessary, if we process from you sensitive or special personal data (for example, information on your race, ethnicity, religious or philosophical beliefs, sex life, sexual orientation, political opinions, trade union membership, health and genetic and biometric data). Usually, if we rely on your consent as the legal basis for processing your personal information, you will be able withdraw your consent, at any time.

B. Contractual obligations

3.3     Sometimes, it is our contract with you, which requires us to collect personal information from you.  For example, we may collect your name and other contact details to identify you as a new or existing customer of ours.  In some instances, because of the contractual laws of a country, we may not be able to enter into a contract with you and supply you with our products and/or services, unless and until you have provided us with at least some personal details (such as your full name, residential or postal address and contact telephone number).

C. Meeting legal obligations

3.4     In addition to our contractual obligations, other laws may also require us to collect and process your personal information.  Anti-money laundering laws, for example, often require the collection of personal information from our customers.  Again, if you are unable to give us some of your personal data, then these laws may prohibit us from entering into a contract with you and/or supplying products and/or services to you.

D. Business interests

3.5     We may also need your personal information to pursue the legitimate interests of our business, so long as this does not materially impact your rights, freedoms or interests.  For example, we may collect and use your personal data to help us grow our business.

3.6     If you are unsure of the bases upon which we are relying to collect and use your personal information, then you can always contact us to find out (see section 13 below for our contact details).

4. Collection of personal information

4.1     We may collect personal information from you in the course of our business, including when you buy our products or services, through your use of our website, when you contact or request anything from us or as a result of your relationship with our staff, our suppliers and/or other customers.

A. Types of data collected

4. 2 We may process any of the following data from you, among others:

    • contact information, including your name, your organisation, your title, your relationship to a person, your address, email address and phone number(s);
    • identification and background information provided by you or collected as part of our business acceptance processes, this may include your full name, photographic identification and gender;
    • usage data includes information about how you use our website;
    • financial information, such as bank account and payment card details;
    • marketing and communications data including your preferences in receiving marketing from us and our third parties and your communication preferences;
    • technical information, such as information collected from your visits to our website (for example, internet protocol address, your login data, browser type and location); and/or
    • personal information provided to us by or on behalf of our customers or generated by us in the course of supplying products or services to them.

B. Reasons for collecting data

4.3.  In broad terms, the main reasons why we collect personal information, are as follows:

      • to help us provide and deliver our products and services;
    • to identify you and confirm your identity;
    • to develop and market new products and services;
    • to provide customer support and/or technical assistance;
    • to monitor the usage of our products and services;
    • to comply with any applicable laws or Court or Tribunal orders;
    • to ensure you follow any contract with us and/or our policies; and/or
    • to provide you with news, special offers and general information on other products, services and/or events which we offer that are similar to those that you have bought or inquired about, unless you have opted out of receiving such information.

C. Purposes of data collection

I         Marketing purposes

4.4     We may collect information from you, through our website, in various ways.  Parts of our website may invite you to provide us with your personal data. If you provide us with your personal data (for example, your name and email address), this may be used to grow our business in a way that does not materially impact on your rights, freedoms or interests.

II       Automated technologies or interactions 

4.5     When you use our website, we may automatically collect technical information about your equipment, browsing activity and/or patterns.  We collect this information using cookies, server logs and/or other similar technologies.  We may also receive technical data if you visit other websites employing our cookies including, analytics providers such as Google based outside the EU, advertising networks based outside the EU and search information providers based inside or outside the EU.  We consider that the collection of this information is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests in a way that might reasonably be expected.  We may, for example, use this information to analyse how our customers use our products and services, to develop our services and grow our business.  The way we use this information should not materially affect your rights, freedoms or interests.  If you would like more information on our use of cookies, you should refer to our cookies policy.

B. Collection of data in other ways

4.6     Our website aside, we may also collect information from you in more traditional ways.  This includes through direct interactions with you (such as when you provide us with your personal details at our retail store), from third-party sources (such as tax authorities) or from public sources.

4.7     Since we operate in the retail industry, we may have to obtain certain personal details from you if required, to follow anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism laws.  To meet our legal obligations, we may need to confirm the identity of new clients, and in some cases, existing clients. In some cases, we may be forced to decline to, or may not be allowed to, offer you our products and services.  We consider that the legal basis for this processing of personal information is to perform contractual obligations and to comply with legal or regulatory obligations that apply to us.

5. Security of data

5.1     We are committed to ensuring that your personal information is secure.  To prevent illegal access or disclosure, we have implemented appropriate technical, physical and other processes and procedures to safeguard and protect your personal data. We monitor our systems for potential issues and attacks and we carry out penetration testing to identify measures to strengthen security.

5.2     In addition, we limit access to your personal data to only those persons in our business who need to know the information. Also, they will only process your personal information in accordance with our instructions and they are under a duty of confidentiality.

5.3     We have procedures in place to identify and respond to data security breaches. We will notify you and any data protection authority of a breach, if we legally need to do so.

6. Retention of data

6.1     Whenever we collect or process your personal information, we will only keep it for as long as is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.  Alternatively, we may be forced to keep your personal information in order to meet legal, accounting and/or reporting requirements.  We may also keep your personal information if it is reasonably required for us to do so due to the potential for litigation.

6.2     In deciding the appropriate retention period for personal data, we will usually consider the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal data, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve our purposes through other means and the applicable legal, regulatory, accounting and/or other requirements.

6.3     At times, your personal information may be either deleted entirely or made anonymous (for example, by being combined with other data so that it can be used in a manner which does not identify the individuals concerned for statistical analysis and/or business planning).

6.4     You can also ask us to remove your personal information from our systems, if this is required or permitted by law.

7. Sharing of data

7.1     We may share your personal information with third parties.  These third parties may act as “data processors” or “joint data controllers”, in the course of us providing our products or services to you.  The parties we may provide your personal information to, include without limitation:

  • our suppliers, including our luxury watch and/or jewellery suppliers;
  • to our insurers;
  • to our IT service providers; and
  • to regulators or tax authorities.

7.2     We use the services of third parties to help us with our website hosting and our social media communications across multiple channels (including Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook).

7.3     We require that all third parties that act as “data processors” for us provide sufficient guarantees to implement appropriate technical and business measures, only process personal data for legal purposes and in accordance with our instructions.

8. Processing of personal information

8.1     We may transfer, store and process your information in the manner set out in section 7 above.

8.2     If you are from the European Economic Area (EEA), this may involve the transfer of your personal information out of the EEA. The law in the country to which your personal information is transferred may be different to the law applicable in the country where you reside.

8.3     Where we transfer, store and process your personal information outside of the EEA we have ensured that appropriate safeguards exist to provide an adequate level of data protection. In particular, we will ensure that at least one of the following safeguards is in place:

(a)      we will only transfer your personal data to countries considered to provide an adequate level of protection for personal data by the European Commission. For further details, see European Commission: Adequacy of the protection of personal data in non-EU countries;

(b)      where we use certain service providers, we may use specific contracts approved by the European Commission which give personal data the same protection it has in the EU. For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries.

(c)      where we use providers based in the United States of America, we may transfer data to them if they are part of the Privacy Shield which requires them to provide similar protection to personal data shared between the EU and the United States of America. For further details, see European Commission: EU-US Privacy Shield.

8.4    If you need more information, on how your personal information may be transferred outside of the EEA, then you can contact us.  See our contact details in section 13 below.

8.5     For individuals from Japan, this may sometimes involve the transfer of personal information out of Japan. We will not disclose personal data to a third party without obtaining your prior consent, except if allowed under the Personal Information Protection Act of Japan (Law No. 57 of 2003) (PIPA).

9. Direct marketing

9.1     It should be easy for you to stop receiving direct marketing communications from us.  You can click the ‘unsubscribe’ or ‘opt-out’ link in any email communication that we send to you, or email us at info@jfarrenprice.com.au. You should note, however, that you may continue to receive communications for a short period after changing your preferences while our systems are fully updated.
