Weleda's approach to privacy and spam
Weleda respects your privacy.

Information Collection, Use and Disclosure
Weleda collects personally identifiable information, such as email address, name, mailing address, phone number, Facebook login details and date of birth, only if individual website visitors wish to give Weleda this information. Weleda uses personally identifiable information to improve its product offerings, analyse website usage, improve and customize its websites, and for general customer relationship and service purposes, such as responding to a question about a product or completing a customer order.
As part of Weleda’s normal business operations, Weleda may share a user’s personally identifiable information with certain third-party service providers. For example, Weleda discloses personally identifiable information to third parties when it is reasonably necessary in order to enable Weleda to provide services that have been requested by users, to provide information that has been requested by users or to provide products that have been ordered by users. Additionally, some of Weleda´s website operations, product fulfilment operations, marketing programs, data processing and data analysis may be managed and/or conducted by Weleda’s affiliates and/or third-party service providers. Weleda may provide access to your profile and personally identifiable information to such affiliates and/or third-party service providers for the purpose of providing services to you on behalf of Weleda or to enable such affiliates and service providers to provide services to Weleda.
Weleda can (and you authorise Weleda to) disclose any information about you as required by law, including voluntary disclosures to law enforcement agencies and government officials, as Weleda, in its sole discretion, believes necessary or appropriate.
Weleda may also disclose or use personally identifiable information to investigate and respond to any third party complaints or violations of Weleda’s rights.
Weleda is dedicated to keeping your details private. Any information we collect in relation to you, is kept strictly secured.
Weleda also collects aggregate statistical information regarding general website traffic patterns. In order to do so, Weleda’s websites uses cookies. Weleda also uses third-party service providers to track and analyse non-personally identifiable usage and volume statistical information from website users.
Weleda also uses cookies to allow you to login to your account, maintain a shopping cart and to purchase items in your shopping cart. Cookies sent to your computer from Weleda only last while you are browsing our website/s. We do not store persistent cookies on your computer. Cookies also allow us to give you a more personalised shopping experience by displaying products that interest you through our product pages, thus providing you with a more friendly, interesting and enjoyable shopping experience. Whenever you use our website, or any other website, the computer on which the web pages are stored (the web server) needs to know the network address of your computer so that it can send the requested web pages to your Internet browser. The unique network address of your computer is called its "IP address", and is sent automatically each time you access any Internet site. From a computer’s IP address, it is possible to determine the general geographic location of that computer, but otherwise it is anonymous.
We do not keep a record of the IP addresses from which users access our Website except where you have specifically provided us with information about yourself, in which case we also record your IP address for security purposes. An example of this would be when proceeding to a checkout to finalise an order you may wish to make, after completing the form provided, your IP address will be stored along with a transaction number that allows us to track your order.

Weleda may store your personal information on its secure servers in Germany but does not otherwise disclose your personally identifiable information to countries outside of Australia. The exception is where you reside outside Australia and you place an order via the Website which is delivered to your home country. In that case, your personal information will be disclosed to third party shipping and fulfilment providers in your home country in order to deliver your order.
