Public Information
Any information posted by you on review forums or communicated in chat areas becomes public information and we therefore cannot guarantee the security of this information. We are not responsible for personal information (or other information) you chose to submit in such forums.

Using other sites

In general, the third-party providers we use will only collect, use and disclose your information to the extent necessary to allow them to perform the services they provide to us.

However, certain third-party service providers, such as payment gateways and other payment transaction processors, have their own privacy policies in respect to the information we are required to provide to them for any purchase-related transactions.

For these providers, we recommend that you read their privacy policies so you can understand the manner in which your personal information will be handled by these providers.

In particular, remember that certain providers may be located in or have facilities that are located in a different jurisdiction than either you or us. So if you elect to proceed with a transaction that involves the services of a third-party service provider, then your information may become subject to the laws of the jurisdiction(s) in which that service provider or its facilities are located. 

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites and encourage you to read their privacy statements. We recommend that you read the privacy policy of any website, platform, or application that asks you to provide Your Information.

How do we store and protect your personal information?

The security of your personal information is important to us and we take reasonable precautions and follow industry best practices to keep your Personal Information secure and protect it against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale or change in control, we will use our reasonable endeavours to continue to ensure the confidentiality of any personal information and provide affected users’ notice before personal information is transferred or becomes subject to a different privacy policy. We reserve the right to transfer or assign the information we have collected as part of such merger, acquisition, sale or other change in control and you consent to the transfer of your personal information in such circumstances.

How long will we keep your personal information?

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. 

If you tell us that you do not wish to receive marketing communications, we will keep this information about you until you tell us otherwise.  This is to ensure that we do not send you any further marketing communications in error.

We will give you access to or correct your personal information unless there is a lawful reason for refusing your request. If we deny access, we will provide you with the reason for such denial. We may reject requests that are unreasonably repetitive, require disproportionate technical effort, risk the security of our products or services or the privacy of others, or are otherwise impracticable.

In most cases, we can provide you with a summary of your personal information free of charge. However, in some circumstances, we may recover from you our reasonable costs of supplying you with access to your personal information, subject to the Privacy Act and any other relevant laws.
