We collect information by electronic collection methods, such as cookies and tags. A “cookie” is a text file that our site sends to your device to uniquely identify you or to store information or settings. A “tag” links web pages to web servers and their cookies and may be used to transmit information collected to us. Your browser may notify you of these electronic collection methods and allow you to restrict or disable them. However, without them you may not be able to fully experience all our site’s features. You have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.

We may send you information and communications about our products and services that we consider may be of interest to you. We may send this in various forms, including mail, SMS, fax and email, in accordance with applicable laws, such as the Spam Act 2003. If you indicate a preference for a method of communication, we will endeavour to use that method whenever practical to do so.
In addition, at any time you may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us by contacting us by email or by using opt-out facilities provided in the marketing communications. Please understand that if you opt out of receiving promotional correspondence from us, we may still contact you in connection with your relationship, activities, transactions and communications with us.
We may create anonymous data records from your personal information by completely excluding information (such as your name) that makes the data personally identifiable to you. Typically, we use this anonymous data to analyse request and usage patterns so that we may enhance the content of our services and improve functionality. We may use anonymous data for any purpose and disclose anonymous data to third parties at our sole discretion.
We adopt all relevant exemptions permitted under Australian law in relation to employee records.
We will not disclose sensitive information unless it is necessary for us to conduct our business with you. However, if you elect to provide us with unsolicited sensitive information, it may be retained.
We do not sell, rent or lease our customer lists to third parties. However, from time to time, we may contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (name, address, email, telephone number) is not disclosed to the third party.
You agree that in addition to the uses of your personal and sensitive information described above, we may disclose such information otherwise as required by law.
If you created an account with us through the website of a reseller of our services, your personal information may be collected, retained and used by the reseller in order to send you information and communications (which may include marketing material) from time to time. The collection, retention and use of your personal information by a reseller will be governed by the particular reseller’s privacy policy. It is your responsibility to review the privacy policy of any such reseller.

However, we cannot guarantee that all information will be free from unauthorized access by third parties and your use of the site acknowledges your assumption of this risk.
We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including for satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements or to comply with our data retention practices, after which it is deleted or deidentified.
We do not collect your credit card information. Instead, we use a third party payment gateway provided by Stripe (www.stripe.com). You will need to review Stripe’s website to view a copy of their privacy policy and terms and conditions.
