might appear at the bottom of a page. When you have correspondence with us that you
initiate through the contact us function, we will take this as an indication that you are
interested in what we are about, and we will add your contact details to our newsletter
list. We will notify you when we do this and you are always given the option to
unsubscribe if these newsletters are not to your taste. We may use your information to

How we collect and hold data
When you visit, we may also collect information about how you use the Site including
the content you look at, but this is not personally identifiable as you. This information is
aggregated and we may use this information to identify patterns which we can use in
our marketing to help us improve our services. We take reasonable steps to protect the
data provided via our services. We maintain administrative, technical and physical
safeguards designed to protect the Personal Data you provide. However, no internet or
email transmission is ever fully secure or error free. Therefore, you should take special
care in deciding what information you send to us via email. Please keep this in mind
when disclosing any Personal Data to us via the internet. We store Personal Data only
for as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose for which the Personal
Data was collected, unless otherwise required or authorised by applicable law. We take
measures to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information if required by law
or if the Personal Data is no longer required for the purpose for which we collected it.
Who has access to the information?
The staff at The Nature Trail and certain other relevant suppliers (eg Google Analytics
Data Analyst) have access to the information, including personal information that we
have collected from you. If our business enters into a joint venture with or is sold to or
merged with another business entity, your information may be disclosed to our new
business partners or owners. We will not otherwise disclose, sell or distribute your
information to any third party without your permission unless we are required to do so
by law.
Access to, changing or removing the information we hold
If you want to update your information, change your mind or no longer wish to be a part
of our community, please email thenaturetrailshops@gmail.com and let us know. You
may ask us to make changes and we will action these within one business day.

browser’s help screen or manual will tell you how to do this), but please note that this
may reduce the functionality of this Site and other websites. Like all websites, our
servers automatically record ‘log files’ containing information about the volume and
characteristics of our website traffic e.g. IP address, numbers of pages viewed, length of
time spent on site. We use log files to build pictures of how our site is used that help us
to monitor and improve the service. We cannot identify you from your log files.
Anti-spam policy
This Anti-Spam Policy Notice governs the use of the web page at and its associated
services, web pages, domains and sub-domains, which are owned and operated by The
Nature Trail. The Site should not be used as a database for direct marketing by phone
or SMS messaging. The contact details contained on this site are for the sole purpose
of those considering social media with The Nature Trail and should not be used for any
other purpose. It is an offence to send unsolicited direct marketing messages or make
unsolicited marketing phone calls. We consider spamming to be any activity whereby
you directly or indirectly transmit email messages to any email address that has not
solicited such email and does not consent to such transmission. We also consider
spamming to constitute posting messages on our social media channels (eg. Facebook
Group, Facebook Page, etc.) that are off topic. We reserve the right to remove your
messages and or block your access to our Pages if we deem you to be in violation of
these anti-spamming policies. If you are “spammed” by any other product or service
provider on our channels, please let us know and we will take the necessary actions.

may be necessary for us to make changes to this Privacy Policy. We reserve the right to
update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time and from time to time without prior
notice. Please review this policy periodically, and especially before you provide any
Personal Data. This Privacy Policy was last updated on the date indicated above. Your

have previously submitted via our services. Upon your request, we will take reasonable
efforts to delete all of your Personal Data and non-identifiable information that you have
