Privacy & Cookies
The Decorative Collective respects the privacy of anyone using this website. Our privacy policy has been written in plain English as we’re keen to be transparent about how we handle your personal information.
The Decorative Collective provides its service to you subject to this privacy policy and we will continue to review it. We also reserve the right to amend it.
Collected Information and How We Use It
We collect, receive or process your information in several ways and each of these are intended to improve your experience. Often, you can choose the type of information you provide, like whether to include a phone number on a contact form, but sometimes certain information is required in order to make the service work.
Contact Page, Item Enquiries, Stock Requests, Client Accounts and Delivery Quotes
We receive and store your information through various HTML forms, including those on our contact page, item enquiries, and delivery quotes. When you send us your information via these forms, we will only ever use it for the purpose that contact was made. We do not, and will not, use any of your data for any other reason.
Sharing Information With Dealers
When you send an item enquiry or delivery quote request, we need to share the information you’ve provided with the dealer who currently holds the item. We will only provide them with the details you’ve given us in the HTML form you submitted. This is necessary to ensure the smooth running of the service.
For stock requests, we send the information you’ve provided in your enquiry to all our registered members.
Mailing List
The website also includes a 'Join mailing list' option and users who voluntarily add their details to this will receive either weekly, fortnightly, or monthly mailshots and occasional newsletters. Users can unsubscribe at any time via a link in each mailshot or by contacting us here. We will not share our mailing list with any third parties.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to collect information about how visitors use our website. It provides us with anonymous but useful information, such as the number of visitors to the website, the browsers used, the pages viewed and for what length of time. We make no attempts to use this data in any way to identify specific users or to discover any personally identifiable information.

Third Party Sites
The Decorative Collective website contains links to others and we’re not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of these, or other third party websites.

Customers and visitors who access a linked site may be disclosing their private information. It’s your responsibility to keep such information private and confidential.
Security
We follow industry standard best practice to protect the information we store, both during its transmission and after it’s been received. For example, we encrypt certain information using secure socket layer technology (SSL) and also work with a team of security specialists. However, no method of transmission online or electronic storage is 100% secure. So even though we endeavour to do all we can, we can’t guarantee your complete protection.
