Third party providers
Data is collected, processed and stored using third party analytics software that is to the best
of our knowledge secure and confidential. Analytical data is used to gain an understanding of
user behaviour, perform system critical operations, and in extraordinary circumstances, for
legal reasons. Anonymous user data is shared between third party services in order to gain
insight as to aggregate user behaviour.
Analytic data insights are also used to target users through remarketing, demographics,
interests and website behaviour. Third party vendors, including but not limited to Google and
Facebook may show our ads on sites across the internet. We and third party vendors, including
but not limited to Google, make use of third party cookies together in order to inform,
optimise and serve ads based on past visits to a website. We make use of demographic data

aggregate behaviour.
Combining/linking Personal Information
Other than as referred to elsewhere in this policy, we will not facilitate the merging of
personally identifiable information with non-personally identifiable information without prior
user consent to that merger to optimise our Website and Website marketing. For example,
we may collate Personal Information data and aggregate data for the purpose of comparing
marketing costs with revenue on a transactional basis.
Passive collection of information – Direct Marketing and Behavioural Advertising
As you navigate through our Websites and access our Applications, certain information can be
passively collected (that is, gathered without your actively providing the information) using
various technologies, such as cookies, Internet tags or web beacons, and navigational data
collection (log files, server logs, and clickstream data).
For example, we may collect information about matters including but not limited to the date,
time and duration of visits and which pages of a Website or Application are most commonly
accessed. This information is generally not linked to the identity of visitors, except where a
Website or Application is accessed via links in an email or another electronic message we have
sent or where we are able to uniquely identify the device or user accessing a Website or
Application, such as when you are logged into an account.
We may share hashed portions of your information with certain strategic partners to make
our business more responsive to your interests and/or those of like-minded consumers. For
example, we may aggregate your email address together with the email addresses of others
who place Enquiries on our Site, locally hash such data, and transmit the resulting hashed data
to third parties including but not limited to Facebook/LinkedIn/Google for the purpose of
creating “Custom Audiences” (where targeted ads are sent to people on Facebook who have
already been on our Site), and “Lookalike Audiences” (where targeted ads are sent to people
on Facebook/LinkedIn/Google who have similar characteristics to people on our Custom
Audience list).
Where we use Personal Information for promotional or direct marketing purposes, a person
may at any time request Little Plastic Fellas to not use their Personal Information for sending
direct marketing material to that person including if you wish to opt-out of the use of certain
hashed portions of your Personal Information. Such a request can be made by contacting
Little Plastic Fellas either in writing, by email or by telephone at the contact details below.
There is no fee for making such a request.
Direct marketing can include for example: Displaying an advertisement on a social media site
that an individual is logged into, using Personal Information, including data collected by
cookies relating to websites the individual has viewed. 1
