We also collect solicited personal information indirectly, through publicly available sources, or through social media sites, like Facebook, Google, Instagram and others, who disclose to their users that the users’ personal information is provided to businesses like Skinnymixers. We do this where:

  • the customer has consented to such collection or would reasonably expect us to collect their personal information in this way, or
  • if it is necessary for a specific purpose such as the investigation of a privacy complaint

We usually only retain unsolicited information about our customers when dealing with a customer enquiry or complaint.

We use personal information to better understand our customers’ interests and needs, to complete purchase transactions and to offer an expanding range of products. We use personal information in the following ways:

  • Provide, deliver, source, administer, improve and personalise our products and services;
