Due to the way the Internet operates, we cannot control the collection of information by other people. Most Internet browsers are initially set up to accept cookies.

If have subscribed to a mailing list or online newsletter, you may unsubscribe by clicking on the “unsubscribe” link at the bottom of any message you receive.

Disclosure of Information

Vivid Inspiration Studios will not give, sell, trade or otherwise disclose any personal information about you to a third party unless:

• we need to share your information in order to provide the product or service you have requested;
• where a third party acquires or wishes to acquire, or makes inquiries in relation to acquiring, an interest in Vivid Inspiration Studios
• you have provided us with your consent; or
• where such use or disclosure is required under or authorised by law.

We may also share personal information with other service providers including organisations that assist us by providing archival, auditing, consulting, mailhouse, delivery, technology and security services.

Security

We use a number of mechanisms to protect the security and integrity of your personal information. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. So while we strive to protect such information, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of any information you transmit to us and you do so at your own risk.

Once any personal information comes into our possession, we will take reasonable steps to protect that information from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.  Information stored within our computer systems can only be accessed by those entrusted with authority and computer network password sanctions.

Some sections of the Websites protect your personal information by requiring you to use a password. For your own protection, we require you to keep this confidential and to change your password regularly.

Personal information is de-identified or destroyed securely when no longer required by us.

If we are ever sold to another organisation, the new owners must also comply with this privacy policy.

Access to Information

If you wish to request access to any personal information which we hold about you as a result of our information collection practices outlined in this Website Privacy Notice, please contact us using the 'Contact details' set out below. Please provide as much detail as you can about the particular information you seek, in order to help us retrieve it.

Vivid Inspiration Studios reserves the right to charge a fee for searching for and providing access to your information.

Changes to this Policy

Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will not reduce your rights under this Policy without your explicit consent, and we expect most such changes will be minor. Regardless, we will post any Policy changes on this page and, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Policy changes). Each version of this Policy will be identified at the top of the page by its effective date, and we will also keep prior versions of this Privacy Policy in an archive for your review.
