Privacy Policy

1. Background

We recognise the importance of protecting your privacy and safeguarding your personal information.

This Privacy Policy outlines the commitment of Body of Evidence Pty Ltd (ACN 690 968 113) (“we”, “us” or “our”) to protect the privacy of our subscriber’s personal information and other personal information we receive in the conduct of our business.

We aim to comply with all relevant privacy laws, including the requirements applicable to us under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) and relevant Australian State laws and various jurisdiction-specific privacy laws that apply to us.

2. Our Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy sets out how we look after personal information. It explains the kinds of personal information we collect and why we collect it. It also describes how we hold, use, and disclose personal information.

This Privacy Policy applies to everyone who interacts with our business regardless of where you are located.

By accessing or using our websites, or by providing personal information to us, you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy at that time. When you agree to the terms of our Privacy Policy, you consent to the collection, use, storage and disclosure of that information as described in our Privacy Policy. You have a right to withdraw your consent at any time and may do so by contacting us via the details provided below.

We may need to know certain information about our users for specific reasons. Wherever possible, we maintain the anonymity of our users.

3. Third party websites

This Privacy Policy applies to our websites. This Privacy Policy does not apply to websites that we do not operate, such as linked third party websites and YouTube. Those website owners are responsible for the privacy of the information they collect and should be contacted directly for details of their privacy policies. If we link to or refer you to a third-party website, we are not making any representations to you regarding the privacy or security of your personal information when collected or held by the other website. The privacy practices applicable to other websites may differ substantially from ours. You should read the privacy policy of any other websites you visit before using them. We do not accept responsibility for the content or practices of websites operated by third parties that are linked from our websites.

4. Things we don’t do with personal information

We do not sell or share personal information about you with anyone outside of our business, unless we are required by law or if we sell our business or sell part of our business.

5. What personal information do we collect?

We may collect information about you when you access and use our websites and in the provision of our products and services.

We also collect information where we are required to do so by law.

The types of personal information we collect depends on the circumstances in which the information is collected.

If you are a visitor to our websites, we may collect the following information about you:

  • Your name, if you provide it to us

  • Other contact details for you, such as your email address, if you provide this to us

  • Information that you include in any online profile you create on our website, which may include your location, gender or image

  • Information regarding your use of our products or services (such as content)

  • Information regarding your use of our websites including searches you undertake on our websites and information that you provide to us via our websites

  • Information about your use of our social media content

  • Records of communications and dealings with you, such as emails, SMS, telephone, live chat and in-person communications, including information that you provide to us in those communications

  • Location information

  • Information we may collect as part of a survey, customer feedback request or a competition

We collect information about people who are our suppliers, business customers and business partners, or who are employed by our suppliers, business customers and business partners. The information we collect is that which we need to do business with that party.

6. Sensitive Information

We do not seek to collect sensitive information. Sensitive information includes information about your health, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs and criminal record. (Sensitive information or sensitive personal information is defined in section 6 of the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and in Article 9 of the GDPR.) If we do have to collect sensitive information, we will do so in accordance with all relevant laws — for example, we will only collect sensitive information about you with your consent and where it is reasonably necessary for us to do so, or if we are otherwise allowed or required by law to collect that information.

If you provide us with sensitive information, we will consider that you have consented to us collecting it.

7. Additional information regarding collection when using our websites or communications

When using our websites, we and our technology partners may collect information about how you use our websites. Where possible, we do not associate this information with an identifiable person. We may collect information such as:

  • your use of the website, such as pages visited, links clicked, text entered, and mouse or cursor movements, and when you visit each page

  • device information, such as the model and ID of the device you use, operating system, MAC address, device time zone, telephone number and mobile phone network

  • server log information, such as details of how you used the service, IP address, hardware settings, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your use and referral URL

  • information that may uniquely identify your browser or your account, and other online identifiers

  • your user name and password, if you create an account with us or use a service that requires login information

  • location information.

We also collect some statistical information about visitors to our websites (for example, the number of visitors, pages viewed, types of transactions conducted, time online and documents downloaded), but this is not personal information because we may not know who the visitor is or because we may aggregate this information so that no person can be identified from the statistical information.

We may use publicly available sources to approximate your geographic region and Internet Service Provider based on your IP address. We use various technologies to collect and store information, including cookies, pixel tags, tracking tags, and local storage such as browser web storage or application data caches, databases, and server logs. These technologies help us track your usage and remember your preferences.

Analytics cookies and tracking tags may also be used to collect information about your use of our website (visitation data) that allow our third-party website analytics services (e.g. Google Analytics) to help us analyse trends and understand our website users’ behaviour patterns in the aggregate.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However if you do, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our websites.

10. Direct Marketing and Opt Out

If you have provided us with your email address, created an account with us, or subscribed to any of our content, we may send you information from time to time that we think is relevant to you. Should you not wish to receive communications of this nature from us, you may unsubscribe or opt-out:

  • by following the link or instructions in the communication

  • by changing the communication preference settings for your account on our websites

  • by changing settings on your device, such privacy settings or push notification settings.

If you unsubscribe from marketing communications, this will not stop you receiving service-related communications from us if we are otherwise legally entitled to send them to you.

11. Disclosure of Personal Information

We only disclose personal information for a purpose for which it was collected, or for a secondary purpose in circumstances permitted by law. This includes where you consent to us disclosing your personal information. You can give us your consent expressly or your consent may be implied.

We may disclose your personal information:

  • to any organisation where you request us to do so

  • to insurance companies

  • to a court or tribunal

  • to anyone who acquires or is considering acquiring our assets or business (or part of it)

  • to a person who serves us with a subpoena or other legal document requiring us by law to disclose information or documents about you to them

  • to our consultants, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, service providers and professional advisors, who assist us in operating our business

  • to government agencies, regulators and law enforcement bodies

  • to other organisations where necessary or reasonable to do so in relation to the operation of our business.

We may disclose your personal information to organisations outside of Australia, including to contractors, and cloud service providers. The personal information we collect may be transferred out of Australia, to countries including but not limited to the EU, the UK and the United States.

The service providers we engage may use international data centres and disaster recovery sites.

The Australian Privacy Principles require that we take reasonable steps, dependent on the circumstances, to ensure that the overseas service provider to whom personal information is disclosed does not breach Australian privacy laws (the “Requirement”). When you provide us with your personal information you consent to the disclosure of your information to an overseas provider. Your consent to this disclosure means that the Requirement does not apply and we will not be held accountable under the Australian Privacy Act for any breaches of the Australian Privacy Act by the overseas provider.

12. Security and Storage of Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information that we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We provide a robust level of security when you use our websites, products and services. We have electronic and procedural safeguards to protect personal information which is held by us.

We take measures to enhance the security of our websites, products and services. If you are a subscriber who has an account with us, it is important for you to protect against unauthorised access to your password and to your computer. You should have a unique and complex password and make sure to regularly update your operating system. You must not disclose your password to others.

We cannot guarantee the total security of any data transmission over the Internet.

Although due care is taken, we cannot guarantee the security of information provided to us via electronic means or stored electronically. No security measures are perfect, and we cannot promise to be able to withstand security threats in all circumstances.

Personal information is only retained for as long as is necessary or as required by law.

We use secure methods to destroy or de-identify any personal information, provided the information is no longer needed by us for any purpose and doing so is not prohibited by law.

You may make a request to us in writing to remove or delete your personal information and, where permitted, we will do so in accordance with all relevant laws.

13. Amendment of this policy

We may amend this policy from time to time. If we do, we will update the Privacy Policy on our websites. The changes will come into effect immediately upon notification on our websites. You should check our websites from time to time to understand how the current version of our Privacy Policy applies to you.

14. Access to your information

You can request access at any time to personal information we hold about you by using the contact details below for the Privacy Officer.

We will process your request within a reasonable time, usually 21 days for a straightforward request. There is no fee for requesting access to your personal information; however, we may charge you the reasonable cost of processing your request. If a fee applies, we will advise you before we provide access. Sometimes we are not required to provide you with access – for example, if the law says we can deny access.

You may ask us at any time to correct personal information held by us about you, which you believe is incorrect or out of date. We will deal with your request within a reasonable time.

If you would like to make an update or correction to any personal information we hold about you, please let us know by sending an email to the contact details below.
