introduction

We understand that the privacy of your personal details, and the security of your transactions with us, is of paramount importance to you. Image 7 Group has adopted data protection policies with respect to your privacy and security. Image 7 Group’s Privacy Policy sets out the rules we will abide by when dealing with personal information we collect from individuals in the course of our business.

In order to ensure that we meet and maintain our Privacy standards, we have appointed a privacy officer. Should you wish to contact us in relation to Privacy, please email us at hello@imageseven.com.au.

We may make alterations or additions to this policy from time to time. Should we do so, we will update the policy on our website. We require that all our clients agree to abide by our Privacy Policy as part of our terms of trade. This policy also applies to users of our website who are not clients of Image 7 Group.

Please note that we cannot and do not assume any responsibility for the privacy or security practices of any other websites which you may be able to link to or access through our site, or for our clients’ level of compliance with our code.
