Privacy Policy

Pluckit Pty Ltd provides users with:

(a) the www.pluckit.com.au website (Site);

(b) any applications we make available for use on any device or technology  platform (Applications); and

(c) any of our services made available on the Site or via the Applications  (Services). The Site, Applications and Services are all facilities (Facilities)  developed by us and designed to assist the user’s experience.

The central goal driving the design of the Facilities is to optimize user experience while using them. To make that work effectively, we need to collect personal information from each user,  and process that personal information. We use common technologies such as cookies and Web beacons to keep track of users’ interactions with the Site, Application and Services and to improve the quality of its service. We may also collect your Internet Protocol (IP) address to track and aggregate non-personally identifiable information, your referring website addresses, browser type, domain name, and access times.

Unless connected directly to a user account, the information we process in connection with each IP address is largely statistical and is not stored to or referred to by us in a way that permits us to piece together any particular user’s browsing behaviour.

The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to inform you about how our technology (Technology)  processes information about you. This Privacy Policy applies to all of the Facilities operated by us or our subsidiaries or affiliated companies. From time to time we may also post product or service-specific privacy notices or documentation to explain in more detail how our products handle information related to privacy. Participants in the technology industry have developed some practical guidelines to help you guard against Internet fraud, secure your computer and protect your personal information.  We support your use and implementation of these guidelines.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please feel free to contact us info@pluckit.com.au.

We do not exercise control over the sites displayed as search results, sites that include our applications, products or services, or links from within our various  Facilities. These other sites may place their own cookies or other files on your computer, collect data or solicit personal information from you.

In addition to the above, we may use the information we collect to:


(a) Provide, maintain, protect, and improve the Facilities, our services (including  advertising services) and develop new services; and

(b) Protect the rights or property of us or our users.

If we use this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected,  then we will ask for your consent prior to such use.

We process personal information on our servers and you consent to your personal information being processed and in that location.

Information sharing and onward transfer


We only share personal information with other companies or individuals, not including Users, in the following limited circumstances:

(a) When we have your consent. We will usually require opt-in consent for the sharing of any sensitive personal information.

(b) When we provide such information to our subsidiaries, affiliated companies or other trusted businesses or persons for the purpose of processing personal information on our behalf. We require that these parties agree to process such information based on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures.

(c) When we have a good faith belief that access, use, preservation or  disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to:

(i) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or enforceable  governmental request;

(ii) enforce our Terms of Service, including investigation of potential  violations of those Terms;

(iii) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical  issues; or

(iv) protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of us, our users, or the public as required or permitted by law.

If we become involved in a merger, acquisition, or any form of sale of some or all of our assets, we will use our best endeavours to:

(a) ensure the confidentiality of any personal information involved in such  transactions; and

(b) provide notice before your personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

Information security


We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of our data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, including appropriate encryption and physical security measures to guard against unauthorised access to systems where we store personal data.

We restrict access to personal information to our employees, contractors and agents who need to know that information in order to process it on our behalf. These individuals are bound by confidentiality obligations and may be subject to discipline, including termination and criminal prosecution, if they fail to meet these obligations.

Accessing and updating personal information


When you use the Facilities, we make good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.  

We ask individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and we may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate technical effort, jeopardize the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required. Because of the way we maintain certain services in connection with the Facilities, after you delete your information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from our active servers and may remain in our backup systems.

Complaints


When we receive formal written complaints, it is our policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. We will cooperate with the appropriate regulatory authorities, including local data protection authorities, to resolve any complaints regarding the transfer of personal data that cannot be resolved between us and an individual.

Changes to this Privacy Policy


Please note that this Privacy Policy may change from time to time. We will post any Privacy  Policy changes on the Site, if the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (including, for certain services, email notification of Privacy Policy changes).
