Collection & Use of Information.
If you wish to place an order with Footgear we will require some basic information.
Contact information (i.e. your name, address & e-mail address)
and some financial information (i.e. your credit/debit card number,
start/expiry date & security/issue number.) Without this information
we will be unable to process your order. Your contact information
is used during the billing process and for delivery purposes. It is
also worth while giving us a contact phone number in case we experience
any difficulties when processing your order. If you decide not to
give us a contact phone number we will endeavor to contact you by
e-mail should any problems arise. Obviously we use your financial
information in order for us to receive payment for the goods you require.
We use an outside shipping company (normally Australia Post) for delivery of your
goods and a credit card processing company (usually The Commonwealth Bank) in
order to charge you for the goods that you have ordered. These companies do not
retain, share, store or divulge any personal information for any secondary purposes.
Other than these companies Footgear will not pass your information on to any third
parties.
For each visitor to our Web Site, our web server may collect your
internet service provider's address (but not your personal e-mail
address,) this is done by the majority of web sites and is only used
by us for internal statistical information. With respect to cookies,
we only use cookies to record session information, such as items that
you add to the shopping basket, or whilst maintaining your mailing list subscriptions. We do not collect any further information
via cookies.

Our Security Details.
Footgear are committed
to providing full security through our on-line store. Whenever you
place an order with Footgear we use industry standard secure socket layer
(SSL) technology. This software ensures that information that you
input is encrypted before it is sent to us. Much of the site is not
secure as no information is actually being exchanged; therefore no
security risk exists. Pages that are not secure include the main catalogue,
product descriptions and general information pages. Obviously our
checkout area is in a secure environment and your browser will confirm
that you are using a secure connection by showing either a locked
yellow padlock or an image of a key in the bar at the base of your
screen. We process your orders regularly and delete them from our
server as soon as they have been processed.
As we said at the beginning of this statement we are dedicated to protecting your
information. If you feel that we are not following our own stated policy in this
respect, you may contact us by e-mailing
webmaster@footgear.com.au,
calling us on 07 3378 5996 or by writing to us at Footgear, Shop LG24 (Lower Ground), QueensPlaza, 226 Queen Street, Brisbane, Queensland, 4000.
