Collection and Use of Information
When we need information that personally identifies you or allows us to contact you, we will ask you for it. For example, we may ask you for your name, address, telephone number business name and email address.
The information collected by us will be used by us and any of our subsidiaries and affiliates to provide the services or carry out the transactions you have requested or authorized, to request additional information or feedback from you and to provide notifications to you, regarding those services or transactions, to improve the services or transactions, or to tell you about new products or services.
To offer you a more consistent and personalised experience with us, information collected in relation to some services or transactions may be combined with information related to other services or transactions. We may also supplement the information we collect with information we collect from other sources. For example, we may use services derived from other companies to derive your geographic area based on your IP address.
Information collected may be stored and processed in Australia or any other country or region in which you or Konnect Digital Pty Ltd or its subsidiaries or affiliates operate.
Konnect Digital abides by the safe harbour framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use and retention of data from the European Union and complies with the Privacy Act, 1988 (Commonwealth of Australia).
Konnect Digital may hire other companies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as reporting, researching, development, processing transactions or performing statistical analysis of our services and internet-based content. We will only provide those companies with the information they need to deliver the service. Konnect Digital requires them to maintain the confidentiality of that information and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Konnect Digital may access and/or disclose information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) comply with the law or respond to any lawful request or legal process (b) protect the rights or property of Konnect Digital, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies governing your use of the services or transactions supplied by Konnect Digital; or (c) act in good faith that such access or disclosure is necessary to protect the personal safety of Konnect Digital employees, users of its services, or members of the public.
Collection and Use of Information about your Computer for Internet-Based Features and Services
Konnect Digital has opportunities it can offer you to create enhanced Internet-based profiles and content for you. The information that Konnect Digital sends across the Internet depends on those profiles and content. If we use Internet-enabled features, information about your computer (“standard PC information”) may sent to the provider of those Internet-based features. Konnect Digital may use standard PC information to provide you with such Internet-enabled features, for the purposes of services and transactions authorised by you, to help improve our services, and for statistical analysis of profiles and content. Standard PC information includes without limitation your IP address, operating system version, browser version and regional and language settings and hardware ID (which indicates the device manufacturer, device name and version). If necessary for a particular service or transaction, Konnect Digital may send your standard PC information across the Internet-enabled features.

Konnect Digital collects stores and processes information about you to effectively operate systems for your Internet-based profiles and content.
