Your privacy is critically important to us. We have a few fundamental principles:
Safe Vision Parental Software operates mobile app 'Safe Vision' and website safe.vision. It is our policy to respect your privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our app and website.
1.1 Safe Vision Parental Software Pty Ltd ACN 615 940 899 (we, us or our) has adopted this Privacy Policy to ensure that we have standards in place to protect the Personal Information that we collect about individuals that is necessary and incidental to:
(a) Providing the system and services that we offer; and
(b) The normal day-to-day operations of our business.
1.2 This Privacy Policy follows the standards of:
(a) The Australian Privacy Principles set by the Australian Government for the handling of Personal Information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act);
(b) The regulations and principles set by the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) with respect to the handling of Personal Data of individuals in the European Union; and
(c) The requirements set by the United States’ Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) with respect to the handling of Personal Information of children under the age of 13 in the United States.
1.3 By publishing this Privacy Policy, we aim to make it easy for our customers and the public to understand what Personal Information we collect and store, why we do so, how we receive, obtain, store and/or use that information, and the rights of control an individual has with respect to their Personal Information in our possession.
2.1 Our Privacy Policy deals with how we handle “personal information” and “personal data” as it is defined in the Privacy Act, COPPA and the GDPR ( Personal Information).
2.2 We handle Personal Information in our own right and also for and on behalf of our customers and users.
2.3 Our Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect about businesses or companies, however it does apply to information about the people in those businesses or companies which we store.
2.4 The Privacy Policy applies to all forms of information, physical and digital, whether collected or stored electronically or in hardcopy.
2.5 If, at any time, an individual provides Personal Information or other information about someone other than himself or herself, the individual warrants that they have that person’s consent to provide such information for the purpose specified.
2.6 For clarity, this Privacy Policy does not apply to non-Personal Information that we may collect and disclose to third parties (such as analytics information generated from the use of Safe Vision).
3.1 We consider the protection of privacy of children very important. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16 without obtaining parental consent. If we learn that Personal Information has been collected on the service from persons under 16 years of age without verifiable parental consent, then we will take the appropriate steps to delete such information.
3.2 Parents have significant rights of control over the processing of their child’s Personal Information, and may at any time:
(a) Review their child’s Personal Information upon reasonable notice, and by no later than 28 days of receiving the written request;
(b) Direct us to delete their child’s Personal Information, and refuse to allow any further collection or use of the child’s Personal Information;
(c) Agree to only the processing of their child’s Personal Information, and not allow disclosure of such Personal Information to third parties;
3.3 We will not require a child to disclose more Personal Information than is reasonably necessary to operate Safe Vision.
4.1 In the course of business, it is necessary for us to collect Personal Information. This information allows us to identify who an individual is for the purposes of our business, share Personal Information when asked of us, contact the individual in the ordinary course of business and transact with the individual. Without limitation, the type of information we may collect is:
(a) Personal Information. We may collect personal details such as an individual’s name, location, date of birth, nationality, family details and other information defined as “Personal Information” in the Privacy Act that allows us to identify who the individual is;
(b) Contact Information. We may collect information such as an individual’s email address, telephone number, third-party usernames, residential, business and postal address and other information that allows us to contact the individual;
(c) Financial Information. We may collect financial information related to an individual such as any bank or credit card details used to transact with us and other information that allows us to transact with the individual and/or provide them with our services;
(d) Statistical Information. We may collect information about an individual’s online and offline preferences, habits, movements, trends, decisions, associations, memberships, finances, purchases and other information for statistical purposes; and
(e) Information an individual sends us. We may collect any personal correspondence that an individual sends us, or that is sent to us by others about the individual’s activities.
4.2 We may collect other Personal Information about an individual, which we will maintain in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
4.3 We may also collect non-Personal Information about an individual such as information regarding their computer, network and browser. This may include their IP address. Where non-Personal Information is collected the Australian Privacy Principles, COPPA and the GDPR do not apply.
5.1 Most information will be collected in association with an individual’s use of our Safe Vision software (Safe Vision), an enquiry about Safe Vision or generally dealing with us. However, we may also receive Personal Information from sources such as advertising, an individual’s own promotions, public records, mailing lists, contractors, staff, recruitment agencies and our business partners. In particular, information is likely to be collected as follows:
(a) Registrations/Subscriptions. When an individual registers or subscribes for a service, account, connection or other process whereby they enter Personal Information details in order to receive or access something, including a transaction;
(b) Supply. When an individual supplies us with goods or services;
(c) Contact. When an individual contacts us in any way;
(d) Access. When an individual accesses us physically we may require them to provide us with details for us to permit them such access. When an individual accesses us through the internet we may collect information using cookies (if relevant – an individual can adjust their browser’s setting to accept or reject cookies) or analytical services; and/or
(e) Pixel Tags. Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read and they tell us whether mail has been opened.
5.2 As there are many circumstances in which we may collect information both electronically and physically, we will endeavour to ensure that an individual is always aware of when their Personal Information is being collected.
5.3 Where we obtain Personal Information without an individual’s knowledge (such as by accidental acquisition from a customer) we will either delete or destroy the information, or inform the individual that we hold such information, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles, COPPA and the GDPR.
6.1 In general, the primary principle is that we will not use any Personal Information other than for the purpose for which it was collected other than with the individual’s permission. The purpose of collection is determined by the circumstances in which the information was collected and/or submitted.
6.2 We will only process Personal Information when we can identify a lawful basis to do so. It is always our responsibility to ensure that we can demonstrate which lawful basis applies to the particular processing purpose.
6.3 The most common lawful bases relied upon are:
(a) Consent : we will only rely upon express, clear and informed consent. Any consent provided may specify and/or restrict the purpose, and can be withdrawn at any time without penalty. We will keep a record of when and how we got consent from an individual.
(b) Legitimate interests : we will only rely upon an identifiable legitimate interest where we can demonstrate that the processing of Personal Information is necessary to achieve it by balancing it against the individual’s interests, rights and freedoms. We will keep a record of our legitimate interests assessments.
6.4 We will retain Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
6.5 If it is necessary for us to disclose an individual’s Personal Information to third parties in a manner compliant with the Australian Privacy Principles, COPPA and the GDPR in the course of our business, we will inform you that we intend to do so, including the type of businesses we disclose to and how they use the Personal Information.
6.6 We will not disclose or sell an individual’s Personal Information to unrelated third parties under any circumstances, unless the prior written consent of the individual is obtained.
6.7 Information is used to enable us to operate our business, especially as it relates to an individual. This may include:
(a) The provision of goods and services between an individual and us;
(b) Verifying an individual’s identity;
(c) Communicating with an individual about:
i Their relationship with us;
ii Our goods and services;
iii Our own marketing and promotions to customers and prospects;
iv Competitions, surveys and questionnaires;
(d) Investigating any complaints about or made by an individual, or if we have reason to suspect that an individual is in breach of any of our terms and conditions or that an individual is or has been otherwise engaged in any unlawful activity; and/or
(e) As required or permitted by any law (including the Privacy Act).
6.8 The individual shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of their Personal Information for direct marketing purposes, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If we receive such a request, we will stop the processing of Personal Information for direct marketing purposes immediately without charge or penalty.
6.9 There are some circumstances in which we must disclose an individual’s information:
(a) Where we reasonably believe that an individual may be engaged in fraudulent, deceptive or unlawful activity that a governmental authority should be made aware of;
(b) As required by any law (including the Privacy Act); and/or
(c) In order to sell our business (in that we may need to transfer Personal Information to a new owner).
6.10 We will not disclose an individual’s Personal Information to any entity outside of Australia that is in a jurisdiction that does not have a similar regime to the Australian Privacy Principles or an implemented and enforceable privacy policy similar to this Privacy Policy. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any disclosure to an entity outside of Australia will not be made until that entity has agreed in writing with us to safeguard Personal Information as we do.
6.11 We may utilise third-party service providers to communicate with an individual and to store contact details about an individual. These service providers may be located outside of Australia.
6.12 An individual who uses Safe Vision from outside of Australia will be sending information (including Personal Information) to Australia where our servers are located. That information may then be transferred within Australia or back out of Australia to other countries outside of the individual’s country of residence, depending on the type of information and how it is stored by us. These countries may not necessarily have data protection laws as comprehensive or protective as those in your country of residence, however our collection, storage and use of Personal Information will at all times continue to be governed by this Privacy Policy.
7.1 Safe Vision uses the YouTube API services to display videos and video metadata. Please review Google Privacy Policy at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
8.1 An individual may opt to not have us collect and/or process their Personal Information. This may prevent us from offering them some or all of our services and may terminate their access to some or all of the services they access with or through us. They will be aware of this when:
(a) Opt In. Where relevant, the individual will have the right to choose to have information collected and/or receive information from us (for clarity, consent must involve an unambiguous positive action to opt in); or
(b) Opt Out. Where relevant, the individual will have the right to choose to exclude himself or herself from some or all collection of information and/or receiving information from us.
8.2 If an individual believes that they have received information from us that they did not opt in or out to receive, they should contact us using the details as set out in section 11 below.
9.1 We may appoint a Data Protection Officer to oversee the management of this Privacy Policy and compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles, the Privacy Act, COPPA and the GDPR. This officer may have other duties within our business and also be assisted by internal and external professionals and advisors.
9.2 We will take all reasonable precautions to protect an individual’s Personal Information from unauthorised access. This includes appropriately securing our physical facilities and electronic networks.
9.3 We use SSL encryption to store and transfer Personal Information. Despite this, the security of online transactions and the security of communications sent by electronic means or by post cannot be guaranteed. Each individual that provides information to us via the internet or by post does so at their own risk. We cannot accept responsibility for misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, Personal Information where the security of information is not within our control.
9.4 We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of any third party (including third parties that we are permitted to disclose an individual’s Personal Information to in accordance with this policy or any applicable laws), unless otherwise required by the Privacy Act, COPPA and the GDPR. The collection and use of an individual’s information by such third parties may be subject to separate privacy and security policies.
9.5 If an individual suspects any misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, their Personal Information, they should let us know immediately.
9.6 We are not liable for any loss, damage or claim arising out of another person’s use of the Personal Information where we were authorised to provide that person with the Personal Information.
9.7 Where there is a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure of, or access to, Personal Information, then:
(a) We will immediately establish the likelihood and severity of the resulting risk to wider rights and freedoms of natural persons;
(b) If we determine there is a risk from the security breach, then we will immediately notify the relevant supervisory authority and provide all relevant information on the particular breach, and by no later than 72 hours after having first become aware of the breach;
(c) If we determine there is a high risk from the security breach (a higher threshold than set for notifying supervisory authorities), we will immediately notify the affected individuals and provide all relevant information on the particular breach without undue delay.
9.8 We will document the facts relating to any security breach, its effects and the remedial action taken, and investigate the cause of the breach and how to prevent similar situations in the future.
