The date of this Privacy Policy is set out above. We may change this Privacy Policy at our discretion.

1.2 Why we collect Personal Information

Generally we collect your PI to provide you with services and to administer our relationship with you.

We may also collect anonymous information through the use of cookies on our website. Cookies are pieces of information that are stored on your computer’s hard disk.

If we conduct trade promotions (which include activities such as contests, promotions, competitions, sweepstakes, lotteries and raffles), we may collect PI for administrative purposes, and possibly to fulfil the prize for the trade promotion. We may also store the PI that you provide to us for the trade promotion on our customer information database for use for promotional, marketing and product development purposes in relation to any of our products or services, including direct marketing via any medium (including SMS and email).

On some occasions we may conduct a trade promotion that has its own specific privacy terms. In this case, notice of those terms will be provided at the time that PI is sought and those terms will apply to the PI collected as part of that trade promotion.

If we conduct a trade promotion on a social media platform (such as Facebook) we generally do not require you to share PI with us (although you may choose to do so).

We acknowledge that where we conduct a trade promotion on a social media platform:

(a) The trade promotion is not administered by the social media platform unless we expressly state that it is.

(b) Any PI provided by the you in connection with the trade promotion or activity, is provided to us and not to the social media platform.

2.2 Disclosure

We may disclose PI across the Head Space Entertainment group of companies and our related bodies corporate in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may also provide PI to third parties:

(a) engaged by us to provide functions on our behalf such as storing and managing databases, processing credit card information, mailouts, debt collection, marketing research and advertising;

(b) authorised by you to receive PI held by us;

(c) where that disclosure is reasonably required to obtain advice, prepare or conduct legal proceedings, investigate suspected improper conduct or wrongdoing or assist a lawful authority in the discharge of its duties; and

(d) where permitted or required by law.

Where we hold trade promotions in conjunction with other companies, we will offer you the opportunity to be contacted by our promotions partner(s) or sponsor(s). We will not provide your PI to the promotions partner(s) unless you have expressly consented (“opted in”).

To protect your privacy, wherever practical we impose contractual requirements of security and confidentiality on third parties as to how they handle any PI that we disclose to them. However, except to the extent that liability cannot be excluded due to the operation of statute, we exclude all liability (including in negligence) for the consequences of any misuse or unauthorised disclosure of your PI by these third parties.

When we share information with third parties as set out above, we do so in accordance with this Policy. To the extent that these third parties gain access to PI, their use is governed by their own privacy policies, the Act, GDPR and any other relevant law.

3. GOOGLE ANALYTICS

We have implemented a feature of Google Analytics referred to as Demographics and Interest Reporting on our websites.

The Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting feature allows us to collect data relating to the demographics (age and gender) and interests of visitors to our websites. We collect such data to analyse how visitors engage with our websites. We do not collect or store personally identifiable information about visitors via this feature.

The data collected via the Google Analytics Demographics and Interest Reporting feature is stored on Google’s servers and is accessible by Google. By using this website, you consent to the processing of the data by Google as set out in Google’s Privacy Policy.

You can opt out of this feature by visiting the following link:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/

You may opt out of Google’s use of cookies by visiting the Ads Preferences Manager. Also, you can opt out of other third-party vendor’s use of cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp).

5. DATA SECURITY

Your PI is stored in secure Netregistry servers located at the Global Switch Sydney data centre and paper based files, and in other records. We may also engage third party service providers to assist in storing and processing certain types of personal information for us.

We have taken reasonable precautions to ensure that your PI is protected from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

However, except to the extent that liability cannot be excluded due to the operation of statute, we exclude all liability (including in negligence) for the consequences of any unauthorised access to your PI. Please notify us immediately if you become aware of any breach of security.

If we have reasonable grounds to believe that your PI that we hold may be subject to unauthorised access or disclosure (eligible data breach), we will investigate and assess the suspected eligible data breach to determine whether the eligible data breach is likely to result in serious harm to you (Notifiable Data Breach). If a Notifiable Data Breach occurs, then we will notify you and the Australian Information Commissioner as soon as practicable after we become aware of the Notifiable Data Breach in accordance with our obligations under the Act. We will comply in every way with our obligations under Part IIIC – “notification of eligible data breaches” of the Act. 

6. Retention and Disposal of Personal Information

We will retain PI for as long as is required for us to fulfil the purposes for which the PI was collected, including to comply with legal requirements. 

If we no longer require PI for any purpose, including legal purposes, or you request that we delete your PI collected by us, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or permanently de-identify the PI. 

7. OPENNESS

If you have any questions in relation to our handling of your PI, or the kind of PI we hold about you, please contact us on the details below and we will endeavour to assist you with your request.

8. ACCESS AND CORRECTION

You have rights under the Act to access and correct the PI that we hold about you. If you wish to access, correct or update any personal information we may hold about you, please contact us as set out below.

The APPs set out some circumstances in which we are not required to provide you with such access. If you ask for your PI and any of these circumstances apply, we may, if reasonable, give you access to the PI in a way that meets our needs and yours (for example by giving you access through a mutually agreed intermediary).

We may charge a fee for giving access to PI, in which case we will inform you of the fee (which will not be excessive) in advance of providing the information.

8. ANONYMITY

Where practical, you may deal with us on an anonymous basis or by using a pseudonym. In some instances, because of the services we provide, if you do not provide us with your PI we may not be able to provide you with the requested product or service (for example, if we require your details in connection with a competition we are running, we cannot provide you with a prize should you be a prize winner and we cannot contact you).

9. OVERSEAS TRANSFERS OF INFORMATION

We do not generally disclose PI to overseas recipients in the ordinary course of our business. Where we disclose PI to recipients located outside of Australia we will do so in accordance with the requirements of the Act and in accordance with the terms of this policy.

10. SENSITIVE INFORMATION

Sensitive information includes information about your race or ethnic origins, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, or details of health, disability or sexual activity or orientation. We generally do not ask for sensitive information, but may do so where it is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities and it is permitted by law. Generally we will only collect sensitive information where:

(a) you have consented to providing sensitive information (if you voluntarily submit such information to us you will be deemed to consent to us collecting that information); or

(b) the collection of the sensitive information is specifically authorised or required by law.

11. COMPLAINTS

If you have a complaint in relation to the collection and handling of your personal information, or if you believe that we have not complied with this Privacy Policy or the Act, please contact our Privacy Officer via the details provided below. We will review all complaints received and the Privacy Officer will respond to the complainant. We will take any privacy complaint seriously, and we aim to resolve all complaints in a timely and efficient manner. We request that you cooperate with us during this process and provide us with relevant information we may require.

We expect our procedures will deal fairly and promptly with your complaint. However, if you remain dissatisfied, you can also make a formal complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (which is the regulator responsible for privacy in Australia).
