3. How we collect and hold personal information

We collect personal information directly from you through our website, transactions, competitions and trade promotions. We do not collect your personal information from any third parties.

Your personal information is stored on our behalf by a trusted third party service provider. They take such steps as are reasonable to secure your personal information from misuse, interference, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We are likely to also transfer your personal information to our service providers but only for the limited purpose of hosting your personal information.

4. How we use and disclose personal information

Generally, we use your personal information for two purposes:

to keep you informed of any products, services and benefits that we consider will be of interest to you in the future; and
to distribute product samples to your home or work address.
As part of the distribution of product samples, we share your personal information with trusted third-party service providers, who we engage to affix your name and address to parcels that contain free product sample(s) that they would send to you on our behalf.

When we collect your personal information, we will notify you of the purpose for which it will be used and we will request your permission to contact you regarding any future promotions of products or services.

We may disclose your personal information to law enforcement agencies where required or authorised by law to do so or for any purposes connected to a fraud, crime prevention or impropriety investigation.

5. Overseas disclosure of personal information

We are likely to disclose your personal information to our service providers for the limited purpose of hosting such information. By providing personal information to us, you consent to and acknowledge that if the overseas recipient breaches the South African Privacy Principles, Schick will not be accountable and you will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act.

6. Access to and correction of personal information

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect, hold, use or disclose is accurate, complete, up to date, relevant and is not misleading. You have a right to request access and/or the correction of any of your personal information we hold or control. Requests for access or correction are to be directed to Bump Patrol Customer Service on 0860 002 652. We may ask you to answer a simple question, such as providing your address, to confirm we are providing access to the correct individual. We endeavour to respond to any request within a reasonable time period.

Please provide us with as much detail as you can about the particular information you wish to access or correct, in order to help us retrieve it. We may charge you an access fee to cover our costs of sending the information to you. We will inform you of applicable fees before they are incurred.

In certain circumstances, such as where giving you access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals, we may refuse to provide you access to your personal information. If we refuse to provide you access, we will provide you with a written notice that sets out the reasons for the refusal except to the extent it would be unreasonable to do so.

Where we correct personal information we hold about you, you have a right to request that we notify any other third parties to which we disclosed the inaccurate information. We will provide such notice to any third parties where it is practical and lawful for us to do so.

In the unlikely event that we refuse to correct your personal information as requested by you, we will provide you with reasons for the refusal except to the extent that it is unreasonable to do so.

7. Anonymous and pseudonyms

You may request to remain anonymous, or seek to use a pseudonym, in your dealings with us. We will honour any such request to stay anonymous or use a pseudonym where it is lawful and practicable to do so.

8. Making a complaint
