Hello Dumbo Feather friends,
At Dumbo Feather we are committed to ensuring the privacy of our community is well protected. We have developed a privacy policy which aims to achieve these standards to ensure your information is protected, yay! When you access and use our site, this indicates you accept this policy and, in doing so, consent to the collection, use and distribution of information as described below.
Overtime the terms of the policy may change (when they do, we will change the date of the policy) and your use of the website tells us that you accept these changes. We recommend that you regularly review our privacy policy.
The content below is organised as follows:
What is personal information?
Personal information is any information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion is true or not and whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
Sensitive information is a form of personal information and it includes information about your race or ethnic origins, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, or details of health, disability or sexual activity or orientation. We will not generally collect sensitive information from you.
Types of Information We Collect

Dumbo Feather and its related entities are not responsible for any information you’ve provided in public areas of our site, which may then be collected by other users.
We do sometimes collect sensitive information about you. This information is only collected where you have voluntarily provided it to us, for example, through a response to a reader survey or through your posts or comments on our website. The purpose of collecting this information is to assist us in providing you with products and services you love. By voluntarily providing your sensitive information to us you have consented to our collection and use of your sensitive information in accordance with this policy.
How We Collect Information
Dumbo Feather collects personal information in a number of ways, including when you:
Online Privacy
When you visit our website, ‘cookies’ allow us to identify movements around our site. What is a cookie you ask? Not the baked kind. A cookie is a small amount of information sent to and stored in your web browser by a website.
Cookies used in our website include an anonymous unique identifier that allows our website to recognise you and give you access to your account when you’re signed in. You need to accept cookies from this website in order to make purchases. The only personal information a cookie can contain is information you supply yourself.
How We Use Your Information
Primary Purpose
The information we collect will be used to help us:
Because most of the information is collected directly from you, you will normally be aware of the purpose of the collection. We take all reasonable steps to ensure the information held is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading.
Secondary Purpose
Sometimes we might use the personal information we collect for a secondary purpose that is, for use in a way that is different from the primary purpose. We will only do this where:
But, one thing’s for sure; we will not sell any information we collect about you.
And finally, we will not transfer personal information overseas unless:
Marketing
When you provide your email address you agree to receive direct marketing material from our related entities and us. This allows us to tell you about our exciting new products and invite you along to events we think you’ll love.

By continuing to use our services and website you consent to such disclosures to third parties.
How We Protect the Information Collected
We take all reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss and unauthorised modification, access or disclosure. The electronic database that holds the information is designed to restrict access to unauthorised persons.
The Internet is not secure and personal information you send to us via the Internet is done so at your own risk, so always be conscious of this.
Where we no longer require your personal information for a permitted purpose and it is not required to be retained by law, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify it.
Data Breaches
We have internal processes in place to deal with any data breaches. Where there has been unauthorised access or disclosure of personal information and this access is likely to result in serious harm, we will, as soon as practicable possible, investigate the matter in an attempt to mitigate any harm caused.
We will take reasonable steps to notify you if your information has been affected in this way.
General Data Protection Regulation
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) refers to a set of data protection requirements which aim to create clear and uniform data protection laws that apply to European Union residents. If the GDPR applies to us, we will comply with the data handling regime in respect of any personal data of data subjects (residents) in the European Union that we may obtain.
The meaning of personal data is similar to personal information, however, it is broader as it includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
The types of information we may collect from European Union residents include:
We will take appropriate steps to ensure that personal data is:
European residents have the right to access personal data we hold about them and to request that personal data be corrected, updated, deleted or transferred to another organisation.
