Privacy Policy

Spinbound.com is committed to providing quality services to you. This policy outlines ongoing obligations to you in terms of how your personal information is managed.

This site has adopted the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act). The APPs govern the way in which personal information is collected, used, disclosed, stored and secured as well as the manner in which it is disposed.

A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.aoic.gov.au.

What is personal information and why is it collected?

Personal information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of personal information collected may include names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers.

This personal information is obtained in many ways including interviews, correspondence, via telephone or email, through this website (www.spinbound.com), from your website, from media and publications, from other publicly available sources, from cookies and from third parties. 

Personal information is gathered for the primary purpose of providing services to you, providing information to clients and marketing. Personal information may be used for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose in circumstances where one would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. You may unsubscribe from any mailing and/or marketing lists provided by spinbound.com at any time by contacting this site in writing. Contact details are provided at the bottom of this page.

When personal information is collected, the reason(s) and purpose(s) for doing so where appropriate and where possible will be explained to you.

Sensitive Information

Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about such things as an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or health information.

Sensitive information will be used only:

•           For the primary purpose for which it was obtained

•           For a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose

•           With your consent; or where required or authorised by law.

Third Parties

Where reasonable and practical to do so, personal information will be collected only from you. However, in some circumstances this site may be provided with information by third parties. In such a case, reasonable steps will be taken to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided by the third party.

Cookies

A cookie is a small file placed in your web browser that collects information about your web browsing behaviour. Use of cookies allows a website to tailor its configuration to your needs and preferences. Cookies do not access information stored on your computer or any personal information, for example your name, address, email address or telephone number. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose to reject cookies by changing your browser settings. This may, however, prevent you from taking full advantage of this website.

This website uses cookies to analyse website traffic and help provide a better website visitor experience. In addition, cookies may be used to serve relevant ads to website visitors through third-party services such as Google Adwords. These ads may appear on this website or other websites you visit.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

Disclosure of Personal Information

Spinbound.com may from time to time need to disclose certain information, which may include your personal information, to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request. Also, this site may use your personal information to protect the rights, property or safety of spinbound.com, customers or third parties.

If there is a change of control in the business or part thereof (whether by merger, sale, transfer of assets or otherwise) customer information, which may include your personal information, could be disclosed to a potential purchaser under a confidentiality agreement. Disclosure of your information would be only in good faith and where required by any of the above circumstances.

Security of Personal Information

Personal information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

When personal information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, this site will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify such personal information. However, most of the personal information is or will be stored in client files which will be kept for a minimum of seven years.
