Personal and Non-Personally Identifiable Information
We collect “Personal Information”, as well as non-personally identifiable information on FoxyOwl Site and/or Services.
“Personal Information,” as used in this Policy, is personally identifiable information, such as Your first and last name, mailing address, email address, billing information, IP addresses, demographics, passwords, telephone number and/or other online contact information.
Sensitive Information
FoxyOwl does not collect sensitive information from users for marketing purposes. Sensitive information includes information about a person’s racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, health or genetic information, sexual preference or information about whether an individual is a member of a professional or trade association or union.
Sensitive information might be collected during the course of surveys or competitions administered by FoxyOwl or its affiliated third parties, but only if volunteered by Users with their consent.
You can choose not to actively volunteer information to FoxyOwl. However if You do provide information to FoxyOwl when asked or prompted, including sensitive information, You are also providing consent for FoxyOwl to collect, store and use that information as necessary for the purpose of collecting it.
We collect information in three ways.
(1) Voluntarily
(2) Automatically
(3) Via Third Party Sources
Voluntarily
We collect information You provide to Us in optional, voluntary submissions, including but not limited to registration forms, user profiles, promotional signups, email or phone requests for customer service, software and mobile application downloads and submissions.
Automatically
Like virtually all other sites, We will create and record information automatically when You visit Our Site. We use cookies (or files sent directly to Your computer or device) and other similar technology to collect information such as Your IP address, the site You visited immediately prior to Our Site and the frequency and duration of Your visit to Our Site.
We may track activity relating to Your interaction with Our email communications and with links contained within Our email communications and Our Site. This information is generally non-personally identifiable.
We may also collect, use, and share, with FoxyOwl partners, service providers and licensees, precise location data, including the real-time location of Your mobile or fixed location device.
Some cookies may be associated with Personal Information about You and some may not. This information is generally collected, used and stored to deliver relevant messaging and enhance Your experience when visiting Our Site.
Via Third Party Sources
We may also obtain information, including Personal Information, from third party sources. This may include soliciting third parties to collect Personal Information on Our behalf. In such cases We instruct those third parties to comply with this Policy.
We may use analytics tools and other third party technologies, to collect non-personally identifiable information in the form of various usage and user metrics when You use Our Sites and/or Services. These third party analytics companies may combine the information collected for Us with other information they have independently collected across their network of websites, products and services. Many of these companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies.
We take reasonable measures, including the implementation and maintenance of physical, electronic, and managerial procedures, in an effort to assure the security, integrity, and accuracy of all Personal Information that We collect. If We learn of a security systems breach, We may attempt to notify You electronically so that You can take appropriate protective steps.
We will destroy or de-identify Your information if We no longer require the information to provide You with access to Our Site/s or Services and if the information is not required to be saved under Australian law or other Commonwealth record.
We store Your information on networks in Australia and the US and take reasonable steps to protect Your Personal Information from misuse, loss or unauthorized access. These reasonable steps include password access, firewalls, and encryption of credit card details and secure servers.
Generally, We use Personal Information to establish and enhance Our relationship with Our Users through four main categories:
(1) Communication
(2) Optimization
(3) Marketing & Advertising; and
(4) Sharing Features.
Below, We provide some specific examples of how We use the information We collect.
Communication and Responding to Requests
To provide You with customer support, process transactions, respond to users’ requests, send newsletters and updates, send special offers and advertisements, seek Your opinions and feedback, and connect users to FoxyOwl Site and/or Services and to products and services of Our partners and licensees.
Optimisation
To provide, improve, and maintain Our Sites and Services, to develop new products and services, to prevent abuse and fraud, to personalise and display advertisements and other content for You, and for other administrative and internal business purposes.
Marketing & Advertising
To personalise and display advertisements and other content for You.
We may share your anonymised email address with one or more of our third party business partners, so that You will receive more relevant online ads from us and other parties. This works by dropping a cookie on your browser linked to data that is known about you so that third party advertisers can show you more relevant ads.
We may also use various measurement services and companies to analyse collected data about Your engagement with Our Sites and Services. The information that is collected is not personally identifiable, and is pseudonymous or agrgregarde data that does not identify any individual user.
The third party analytics companies that We use may share the User information they collect from Our Sites with other measurement companies, who gather data from various sources, analyse and report on it for their clients. The reported information will cover various elements, for example it may summarise how many people have viewed a certain webpage within a certain age bracket.
