• Analytics data
  • We also collect information about platform Users known as analytics data such as User location, information about devices accessing our Platform, the amount of time a User spends on our Platform and in which parts of it, and the path navigated through it. However, all such information is de-identified data and not collected in a form that could reasonably be expected to identify an individual. In any event, we only use analytics data for the following purposes:
    • to help us review, enhance and improve our Platform (for statistical or research purposes); and
    • to develop case studies and marketing material without identifying any Users.
  • We use Google Analytics in our Platform. To understand how Google uses data click here.
• How we hold and secure personal information
  • We hold and store personal information that we collect in our offices, computer systems, and third party owned and operated hosting facilities. In particular:
    • we collocate systems in hosting facilities operated by reputable hosting providers;
    • personal information that is provided to us via email is held on our servers or those of our cloud-based email providers;
    • we use third party owned cloud-based User relationship management and marketing platform providers to hold personal information about current and prospective Users;
    • personal information is held on computers and other electronic devices in our offices and at the premises of our personnel;
    • we hold personal information that is provided to us in hard copy in files on our business premises.
  • We take reasonable steps to protect personal information that we hold using such security safeguards as are reasonable in the circumstances to take against loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure and other misuse and to implement technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk of accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, personal information transmitted, stored or otherwise processed by us.
  • For example, we:
    • only use reputable hosting providers to host User personal information;
    • implement passwords and access control procedures into our computer systems;
    • maintain physical security measures in our buildings and offices such as door and window locks and visitor access management, cabinet locks, surveillance systems and alarms to ensure the security of information systems (electronic or otherwise); and
    • have data backup, archiving and disaster recovery processes in place.
• Disclosure of personal information
  • We only disclose User personal information that we collect to third parties as follows:
    • where required under a contract with a User, we will transmit User personal information to third parties on behalf of the User;
    • in order to host databases that are integrated into our Platform, we engage reputable hosting providers who host those databases on our behalf;
    • when performing contracts we may outsource certain obligations to third party contractors in accordance with our contractual rights (such as hosting, software development and other professional services). Professional services carried out by them may require access to User personal information. We ensure that all MuzikBoxx employees, contractors and their employees have entered into agreements which require them to comply with privacy and confidentiality obligations that apply to personal information that we provide to them;
    • when providing information to our legal, accounting or financial advisors/representatives or insurers, or to our debt collectors for debt collection purposes or when we need to obtain their advice, or where we require their representation in relation to a legal dispute;
    • where a person provides written consent to the disclosure of their personal information;
    • where it is brought to our attention that specific personal information needs to be disclosed to protect the safety or vital interests of any person;
    • to avoid prejudice to the maintenance of the law by any public sector agency, including the prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution, and punishment of offences;
    • for the enforcement of a law imposing a pecuniary penalty;
    • for the protection of public revenue;
    • for the conduct of proceedings before any court or tribunal (being proceedings that have been commenced or are reasonably in contemplation); or
    • where required by law.
• Third party websites
  • Our platform may include links to third party websites. Our linking to those websites does not mean that we endorse or recommend them. We do not warrant or represent that any third party website operator complies with applicable data protection laws. Users should consider the privacy policies of any relevant third-party website prior to sending personal information to them.
• Interacting with us without disclosing personal information
  • If a person does not provide us with their personal information, they can only have limited interaction with us. For example, a person can browse our public facing website pages without providing us with personal information, such as the pages that generally describe the services that we make available. However, when a person submits a form on our websites or a person registers a User account on our Platform, we need to collect personal information for identification purposes, so that we can provide our services, and for the other purposes described in this Privacy Policy.
  • Any person has the option of not identifying themselves or using a pseudonym when contacting us to enquire about our services.
  • For security purposes, only Users who identify themselves accurately and truthfully when opening any account on any of our Platform, may login to and access the functionality provided by our Platform.
• Offshore disclosure
  • We may disclose personal information to our offshore service providers and personnel who assist us with providing our services and to assist us with the operation of our businesses generally. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that such overseas recipients do not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to personal information.
  • At present, we only disclose personal information offshore when we upload it to our hosting providers and third-party cloud-based platforms located at [insert].
  • Except as set out in clause 2, all personal information that we collect is held in Australia.
• How to access and correct personal information held by us
  • Users who have accounts on our Platform can amend personal information contained in their platform accounts, or delete their accounts, at any time, by logging into their accounts. Once an account is deleted, we may still be required to retain the data in accordance with our contract with the User or by law.
