The Wish’s Commitment to Maintaining Your Privacy
The Wish’s Privacy Policy has been created because we value our users and recognise their right to keep personal information private. This policy statement discloses our information gathering and dissemination practices for all Sites managed by The Wish.
The Wish website (the “Site”) is owned by TwentyTwoTen Pty Ltd ABN 32 741 459 027 (“us”, “we”, “our” or “TwentyTwoTen “) and operated and distributed by SixtyThreeSixtyEight Pty Ltd ABN 36 127 316 974 (“us”, “we”, “our” or “SixtyThreeSixtyEight”) under exclusive licence.
Collecting information on The Wish Visitors
The Wish collects information on our Site visitors collectively including which sections of the Site are most frequently visited, how often and for how long. This data is always used as aggregated, non-personal information. The Wish utilises this information to improve and enhance our services by monitoring the areas on the Site which are most popular to you. This aggregated information may be shared with The Wish partners to provide them with an overview of how The Wish visitors use the Site. This is done for the purposes of providing you with the best online material on the Site.
IP Addresses
The Wish’s web servers gather your IP address to assist with the diagnosis of problems or support issues with our services. Again, information is gathered in aggregate only and cannot be traced to an individual user.
Cookies & Applets
The Wish uses cookies to provide you with a better experience. These cookies and applets allow you to use specific services such as alert emails, to remember who you are for Auto Login if you choose this option and to remember your last search criteria for Search.
Users who do not wish to receive cookies can instruct their web browsers to refuse them. However, doing so will prevent access to some areas of the Site and limit your use of some of the The Wish services.
Third Party Measurement
In order to better understand our users, The Wish may utilise third party measurement companies, to assess Site traffic. A tracking code is used to collect the following information on the usage of the The Wish Site:
-
The number of page views (or page impressions) that occur on The Wish;
-
The number of unique visitors to The Wish;
-
How long these unique visitors (on average) spend on The Wish when they do visit; and
-
Common entry and exit points into The Wish.
This aggregate, non-personal information is collated and provided to The Wish to assist in analysing the usage of the Site.
Collecting information on The Wish Registered Members
As part of registering to receive The Wish newsletter, products and/or services, we collect personal information about you in order for you to take full advantage of The Wish’s services. To do this it may be necessary for you to provide additional information to The Wish as detailed below.

Registration for The Wish newsletter, products and/or other services is completely optional. However, registration allows you to take advantage of more of the resources on our Site. Registration includes submitting your email address, general address and allows the option for you to provide a street for product deliveries and a photo or image to use online if you so choose.
Contributions to the Site
Submitting a story, information or image to share with The Wish community is a free and optional service for registered users. Eligibility for this contribution requires registered users to complete an opt in field to confirm they want to participate in sharing material or participating in member only forums.

The Wish also provides you with selected information about related topics of interest in our email newsletter and may also make you aware of additional products and services which form part of your relationship with The Wish. This free service is sent to registered users.
Users can modify this option at any time by unsubscribing to receive our newsletter at the end of each newsletter email.
Storage & Security of Personal Information
The Wish takes all reasonable steps to ensure the security of our system. The Wish allows you to access your information at any time to keep it accurate and up to date. Any information which we hold for you is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities.
In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by The Wish. However, The Wish will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access of your personal information.
You can also play an important role in keeping your personal information secure, by maintaining the confidentiality of any password and accounts used on the The WishSite. Please notify us immediately if there is any unauthorised use of your account by any other Internet user or any other breach of security.
Access to Your Information
As indicated above, unless you become a registered user or you elect to provide your details for delivery of a product purchase, The Wish does not collect or hold onto collect information that identifies you personally.

The Wish Partners & Advertisers
The Wish provides links to third party Sites. We do not provide your personal information to those third party sites. Your use of any information on these third party Sites is not within the control of The Wish and we cannot accept responsibility for the conduct of these companies or your use of the third party sites.
Advertisers who place ads on The Wish are asked to comply with Australian federal privacy policy with regard to their own information handling practices.
Transborder data flows
Sometimes, we transfer information to persons outside Australia (e.g. a contractor located in the USA who provides us with services). By giving us your personal information, you consent to such disclosures. In addition, we believe that the recipients of such information are subject to a law, binding scheme or contract which effectively upholds principles for fair handling of the information that are substantially similar to the Australian National Privacy Principles.
