Such technologies help us to keep track of your interactions with our Website, the pages you view, the links you click, and other actions you take, within our advertising, email or newsletter content, to provide you with a better user experience. If you do not wish to have cookies placed on your computer, you should set your browser to refuse cookies before using our Website, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

How We Use Personal Information

We collect and use your personal information as described in the chart in Annex 1 below.

Third Party Advertising And Analytics Disclaimer

We and/or third parties including service providers on our behalf, may use cookies, web beacons and other similar technology, to collect information from you such as your activities on the Website for the purposes described in this Policy including analytics, monitoring performance, and improvement of our Site (traffic, errors, page load time, popular pages, etc.)

Examples of our third-party service providers to help deliver our services or to connect to our services include:

Google Analytics and Google Ads: We use Google Analytics to understand how our website, services, advertisements and products perform and how you use them. Though we have already entered into a service provider addendum with Google you may take additional precautions to opt out of Google Analytics and Ads by installing this add-on https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or by opting out of interest-based Google ads through https://adssettings.google.com/u/0/authenticated.

This Policy does not apply to, and we are not responsible for, third-party cookies, web beacons, or other tracking technologies, which are covered by such third parties’ privacy policies. For more information, we encourage you to check the privacy policies of these third parties to learn about their privacy practices.

Intended Audience of Websites; COPPA Compliance

We are in compliance with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA") and other applicable privacy laws. Our Website is not directed to children under the age of 13. As a result, our Website does not request or knowingly collect personal Information from individuals under the age of 13. If you are not 13 or older, you should not visit or use our Website. If we learn that personally identifiable information of persons under 13 years of age has been collected on the Website without verified parental consent, then we will take appropriate steps to delete the information.

Security

We take appropriate steps to protect personal Information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction, whether in transmission or storage. Please keep in mind, however, that there is no such thing as perfect security, and no Internet transmission is ever completely secure or error-free. Moreover, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any user name and password you use.

International Data Transfer

Information we collect is processed in Australia. By providing your information to us in connection with our website or services, you consent to the transfer, processing and storage of Your Personal Information in Australia. We take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that Your Personal Information is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

We may make available third party applications through our Website, blog and social media applications for your use. Links to such applications, any other websites included in this Website or links on our social media accounts operate with privacy policies beyond our control. Unless otherwise indicated, once you have left our Website or our social media account, all use of information you provide is governed by the privacy policy of the other website’s or social media account’s operators. We are not responsible for any transactions that occur between you and a third-party website or social media account.

Contact Preferences; Opt-In and Opt-Out

We would like to keep in touch with you in ways that you find to be beneficial. You can ask us to stop sending you marketing or job notification messages at any time by following the opt-out links on any marketing message sent to you. Keep in mind that these particular preferences do not mean that we might not contact you for other reasons, such as those related to a matter you initiated on your account, a legally required notice and so on.

Right to Close Account; Retention of Personal Information

We do keep your Information after you close your account. We generally delete closed account information within 365 days of account closure, except as noted below.

We retain your personal information even after you have closed your account if reasonably necessary to comply with our legal obligations (including law enforcement requests), meet regulatory requirements, resolve disputes, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, or fulfill your request to “unsubscribe” from further messages from us. Additionally, we may anonymize your personal data for research or statistical purposes, in which case we may use this information without prior notice.

Do Not Track Notice

Because there are not yet common, industry accepted “do not track” standards and systems, our website does not respond to Do Not Track signals. In addition, we may allow third parties to collect personal Information from your activity on our website, as described in the “Information Collection and Use” section above.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time for any reason. If this Privacy Policy changes, the revised policy will include a new effective date and we will notify you of such changes by posting the revised policy on this page.
