We may from time to time collect and hold personal information about how you use our Services, such as the frequency and duration of your activities, so that we can fine tune our Services better to meet your apparent needs.

 

  1. USE OF COLLECTION INFORMATION

References to ‘use’ of personal information throughout this Privacy Policy may mean ‘hold’, ‘use’ and ‘disclosure’ as those terms are defined under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Below are specific purposes for which we use the information we collect about you.

  • To provide the Services and personalize your experience: We use information about you to provide the Services to you and your users, including to process transactions with you, authenticate you when you log in, provide customer support, and operate, maintain, and improve the Services.
  • To communicate with you about the Services: We use your or your clients contact information to send transactional communications via email and within the Services, including confirming your purchases, reminding you of subscription expirations, responding to your comments, questions and requests, providing customer support, and sending you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and administrative messages. We send you email notifications when you or others interact with you on the Services.
  • Customer support: We use your information to resolve technical issues you encounter, to respond to your requests for assistance, to analyse information, and to update, repair and improve the Services.  While this will mostly occur in-house, there may be support needed where third parties are utilised in the Services.

The legal bases depend on the Services you use and how you use them. This means we collect and use your information only where:
    • We need it to provide you the Services, including to operate the Services, provide customer support and personalised features and to protect the safety and security of the Services;
    • It satisfies a legitimate interest (which is not overridden by your data protection interests), such as for research and development, to market and promote the Services and to protect our legal rights and interests;
    • You give us consent to do so for a specific purpose; or
    • We need to process your data to comply with a legal obligation.

If you are under 16 years old, you need the consent of your parent or guardian to agree for us to collect and process your data.

You also have the right to access your data, request your data be erased, request your data be restricted, and

If you have consented to our use of information about you for a specific purpose, you have the right to change your mind at any time, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place. Where we are using your information because we or a third party (e.g. your employer) have a legitimate interest to do so, you have the right to object to that use though, in some cases, this may mean no longer using the Services.

 

  • Managed accounts and administrators: If you register or access the Services using an email address with a domain that is owned by your employer or organisation or associate that email address with your existing account, and such organisation wishes to establish an account or site, certain information about you including your name, profile picture, contact info, content and past use of your account may become accessible to that organisation’s administrator and other Service users sharing the same domain. If you are an administrator for a particular site or group of users within the Services, we may share your contact information with current or past Service users, for the purpose of facilitating Service-related requests

 

You can be anonymous or use a pseudonym when dealing with us, unless:

  • the use of your true identity is a legal requirement; or
  • it is impracticable for us to deal with you on such basis.

  • to overseas recipients for any of the reasons outlined above;
  • to our professional advisers including auditors, insurers or legal advisers for the purpose of obtaining professional services;
