Introduction
Between The Sheets Lingerie is committed to providing you,
our valued customer with the highest possible customer service
standards. Privacy is a major concern to most of our
customers, and we address this concern seriously.
After the 21st December 2001, new provisions to the
Commonwealth Privacy Act 1988 come into effect. The new
provisions set out a number of principles that relate
specifically to the protection of your personal
information.
The following document outlines important information
concerning the privacy protection we provide with regard to
your personal information. As this document relates
specifically to the use of our web-site, we recommend you read
the document carefully and check regularly for updates to this
document.
Definitions: Personal Information -
Personal information is information or an opinion

material form or not, about an individual whose identity is
apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the
information or opinion. This includes all personal information
regardless of its source.
Personal information relates to a natural living person. A
natural person is a human being rather than, for example, a
company, which may in some circumstances be recognised as a
legal 'person' under the law.

Sensitive information is a subset of personal information.
It means information or opinion about an individual's
racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of
a political association, religious beliefs or
affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a
professional or trade association, membership of a trade
union, sexual preferences or practices, criminal record or
health information about an individual.

recommends that children and minors be supervised while using
