GMV Productions Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy governs the manner in which GMV Bodybuilding collects, uses, maintains and discloses information collected from users (each, a “User”) of the https://www.gmvbodybuilding.com website (“Site”). This privacy policy applies to the Site and all products and services offered by GMV Bodybuilding.

INTRODUCTION: GMV Productions Pty Ltd recognises that your personal information is important to you and that you are concerned with its collection, use and disclosure. GMV Productions, like other companies operating in Australia, is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles as set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) which set clear standards regarding these activities.
This policy contains information about:

when you can deal with GMV Productions anonymously;
the purposes for which GMV Productions collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information;
the types of personal information that GMV Productions collects;
how you may access the personal information that GMV Productions holds about you, and how you may seek correction of that personal information; and

When can you deal with GMV Productions anonymously?

Generally, you can deal with GMV Productions anonymously (i.e. without identifying yourself). In certain circumstances however, GMV will ask you to provide personal information because it is required by GMV’s policies to do so, or because it would be impracticable to deal with you anonymously.

developing and improving our products and services;
the operation and administration of accounts or subscriptions that you have with us;
payment processing;

carrying out any activity in connection with a legal, governmental or regulatory requirement that we have to comply with, or in connection with legal proceedings, crime or fraud prevention, detection or prosecution.

Documents (including hard copy documents and electronic documents such as emails) which coincidentally contain personal information will be retained in accordance with GMV Productions’ normal document retention practices for accounting, legal and business purposes.

Generally, you have no obligation to provide any personal information requested by us. However, if you choose not to do so where we require this information, we may not be able to provide you with the goods and services that you want.

How GMV Productions will handle complaints

After receiving a complaint, we will consider whether we need any further information from you to properly consider and investigate the complaint, and may request such information from you. We will then:

conduct internal discussions with the relevant business units involved in the collection, holding, use or disclosure of your personal information which is the subject of your complaint, and evaluate whether we believe that such collection, holding, use or disclosure of your personal information was in breach of the Australian Privacy Principles; and
notify you of the results of our investigation of your complaint.
If the conclusion of our investigation is that our collection, holding, use or disclosure of your personal information was in breach of the Australian Privacy Principles, we will take steps to remedy the breach as soon as reasonably practicable.

We will endeavour to notify you of the results of our investigation of your complaint within 30 days of receiving your complaint. However, if your complaint involves complex matters or requires extensive investigation and consultation, it may not be possible to respond within this timeframe.

If you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint you are entitled under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) to make a complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. Information about how to make a complaint is available from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s website (www.oaic.gov.au).

Additional information for users of our websites

If you visit www.gmvbodybuilding.com, or www.gmv.com.au or any other GMV Productions websites (the “Websites”) to read, browse or download information, our system may record information such as the date and time of your visit to the Website, the pages accessed and any information downloaded. This information is used (i) for statistical and reporting purposes; (ii) for website administration, security and maintenance purposes; and (iii) to direct you to material on our Websites that we believe will be of interest to you.

Like many websites, our Website may use “cookies” from time to time. Cookies are small text files that we transfer to your computer’s hard drive through your web browser to enable our systems to recognise your browser and your log-in status. Cookies may also be used to record non-personal information such as the date, time or duration of your visit, or the pages accessed, for website administration, statistical and maintenance purposes. Any such information will be aggregated and not linked to particular individuals. The default settings of browsers like Internet Explorer and Chrome usually allow cookies, but users can easily erase cookies from their hard-drive, block all cookies, or receive a warning before a cookie is stored. Please note that some parts of the Website may not function fully for users that disallow cookies.

Our Website also uses tags, which are tiny bits of website code that allow us to measure traffic and visitor behaviour, and to understand the impact of online advertising, use remarketing and audience targeting. These tags do not collect any personally identifiable information.

While we take great care to protect your personal information on our Website and use state-of-the-art data transmission encryption, unfortunately no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Accordingly, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information that you send to us or receive from us online. This is particularly true for information you send to us via email. We have no way of protecting that information until it reaches us. Once we receive your transmission, we use our best efforts to ensure its security in our possession.
