Personal Information
Personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an
individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion is true or not
(“Personal Information”). In essence, it is any information that can be used to personally
identify you.
If the information does not disclose your identity or enable your identity to be ascertained, it
will in most cases not be classified as Personal Information and will not be subject to this
Privacy Policy.
Application of Policy
This Privacy Policy is designed to cover:
– what information we might collect about you;
– how we might use that information;
– where we store that information;
– who we might share that information with; and
– your rights in connection with that information.
Information we collect
We will collect Personal Information that is reasonably necessary to operate our business
and provide Services to you through our Website and Software or any other mode of
interaction with us. We may also collect information to fulfil administrative functions
associated with the Services, for example, billing and managing client relationships. The
type of information that we collect will depend on the Services we provide to you and the
nature of your interactions with us.
The Personal Information that we typically collect and hold about you may include:
– your full name, postal and residential address, phone number, email address and any
other contact details;
– identification information such as driver’s licence, gender, age, date, and place of
birth;

– financial information such as payment information;
– your login and account details (e.g., username and password or any images
uploaded as part of your account) provided when you create a user account to
receive the Services;
– property and location information; and
– details of your use of the Services such as the date and time of your visit, your IP
address, your social media handles, and information that you share with us
concerning the Services.
How we collect
We may collect your Personal Information directly from you during the course of our
relationship with you, including via the Services. We may collect Personal Information from
you whenever you input such information into our Website and Software for the purpose of
inquiring or receiving the Services. We may also collect cookies from your computer when
you use our Website and Software as reasonably necessary to customise your experience of
our Website and Software.
Additionally, we may collect your Personal Information when:
– responding to requests concerning the Services, information, and other general
inquiries;
– you contact us by any means including email, social media, or our Website and
Software; and
– we are otherwise required or authorised by law.
Where reasonable and practicable we will only collect Personal Information directly from
you. However, sometimes we may receive information about you from third parties, such as
through Hosting Platforms, and in cases like this we will take steps to make you aware of the
information that was provided by a third party. Personal Information that we receive from
third parties will be treated in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We will only collect Personal Information from third parties if it is unreasonable or
impracticable to collect this information directly from you or if we are otherwise permitted to
do so.
Purpose of collection
We collect Personal Information to provide you with the best Services experience possible.
We collect, hold, use, and disclose your Personal Information in order to:
– operate, protect, improve, and optimise our business and your Services experience;
– provide the Services you or the organisation you work for may have requested;
– obtain the services of third-party service providers or engage with third parties in
relation to the Services, such as through Hosting Platforms, as part of providing the
Services to you or the organisation you work for;
– send information on news, publications, blogs, and other content to you that we think
may be of interest to you by post, email, or other means;
– perform accounting, billing, and other administrative and operational functions;
– enable you to access and use our Services; and
– comply with our legal obligations.
We otherwise collect, hold, use, and disclose your Personal Information where we are
required or authorised to do so by law or for any other purpose for which you give your
consent.
Disclosure
We may disclose Personal Information for the above purposes to:
– third parties involved in the provisions of Services to you;
– third-party service providers to whom we outsource services including agents and
contractors such as imaging firms, marketing companies, IT support and couriers;
– regulatory authorities, government agencies, and law enforcement agencies or as
otherwise required or authorised by law; and
– others where you have expressly provided your consent for us to do so.
We do not routinely disclose Personal Information overseas. However, we may disclose
Personal Information overseas when it is appropriate to do so, including to third-party service
providers. For example, we may disclose Personal Information to our service providers who
assist us in operating our Website and Software.
If we disclose your Personal Information outside Australia, we will take all reasonable steps
to ensure that the overseas recipient will deal with the Personal Information for the purpose
intended and in a way that is consistent with the Privacy Act. When we share such Personal
Information, we take reasonable steps to ensure that third-party recipients have policies and
controls in place that are at least as stringent as our own.
In defined circumstances, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation
(“GDPR”) provides additional protection to individuals located in the European Union. The
fact that you may be located in the European Union does not on its own entitle you to
protection under the GDPR. Nonetheless, if we collect Personal Information from you by
your use of the Services, there may be certain additional rights and remedies available to
you under the GDPR if your Personal Information is handled in a manner inconsistent with
the law. If you have any questions or concerns on this, please contact us as set out below.
Storage and Security
We store most Personal Information in computer systems and databases operated by us or
our external service providers. We take all commercially reasonable steps consistent with
industry practice to protect your Personal Information by using established security
standards and procedures.
To prevent the loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction of
your Personal Information, we have established physical, electronic, and managerial security
procedures appropriate to the risks represented and the nature of the Personal Information
to be protected.
It is your responsibility to protect the security of your login information by using a strong
password.
We will store your Personal Information for as long as needed to continue to provide the
Services to you or for as long as a subscription to our mailing list is active. We take
reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify all Personal Information where it is no
longer necessary to retain the information for the purposes for which it was requested or as
required by law.
Access and Correction
You may access Personal Information we hold about you in certain circumstances and
correct inaccurate Personal Information subject to certain exceptions. If you would like to
obtain such access, please contact us as set out below.
For certain requests, we must first verify your identity before processing your request. We
may request information about you to confirm your identity and we may require additional
information to process the request. Once we receive the required information, we will review
and determine whether we are able to fulfill the request.
Marketing
By accessing, using, and browsing our Website and Software, you consent to the receipt of
direct marketing material in relation to our business and Services. We will only use your
Personal Information for this purpose if we have collected such information directly from you,
and if it were material of a type that you would reasonably expect to receive from us.
If you do not wish to receive promotional or marketing communications from us, you can opt-
out by using the unsubscribe facility on the messages that we send you, or by contacting us
