This is a generic term that means all information and data (such as text, images, photos, graphics, videos, audio, links, and documents) in any format that is uploaded to, downloaded from, or appears on our Services. 

Headings used in this Agreement are for reference and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

2. General

This Policy governs Your use of Our Services.

Our services are offered subject to Your acceptance without modification of the Policies contained herein and all other operating rules and policies (collectively, the “Agreement”). 

It is Our policy to respect Your privacy regarding any information We may collect while operating Our Services.

3. What type of information do We collect?

Like most website operators, We collect non-personally-identifying information that web browsers and servers typically make available, such as the browser type, language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each visitor request.

Our purpose in collecting non-personally-identifying information is to better understand how Socially Worth It visitors use Our Services.

From time to time, We may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate, e.g. by publishing a report on trends in the usage of Our services.

We also collect potentially personally-identifying information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for those logged-in on Our Services. We only disclose logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the same circumstances that We use and disclose personally-identifying information as described below, except that commenter IP addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the administrators of the site where the comment was left.

Certain visitors choose to interact with Us in ways that require Us to gather personally-identifying information. The amount and type of information that We gather depend on the nature of the interaction.

For example, We ask visitors who sign up with Socially Worth It to provide a username (which doesn’t have to relate to your real name) and email address. Those who engage in transactions with Us are asked to provide additional information, including as necessary the personal and financial information required to process those transactions.

We may also collect statistics about the behaviour of visitors that use Our Services. We may display this information publicly or provide it to others. However, We will not disclose personally-identifying information other than as described below.

4. Who might We share information with?

We may disclose Your information to Our employees, contractors, and affiliated organisations that:

(a) need to know that information in order to process it on Our behalf or to provide services available at Socially Worth It Services;

(b) have agreed not to disclose it to others. Some of those employees, contractors, and affiliated organisations may be located outside of Australia.

We may also share information with regulatory bodies, government agencies, law enforcement agencies, and courts. As well as any other organisation that may be able to assist Us to identify, prevent, or investigate fraud, unlawful activity or misconduct.

By using Our service, You consent to the transfer of such information to them.

We will not rent or sell potentially personally-identifying or non-personally-identifying information to anyone.

5. Your email address

When you register as a user of Our Services You need to supply Your email address, We may occasionally send You an email to tell You about new features, solicit Your feedback, or just keep You up to date with what’s going on with Socially Worth It and Our Services.

We take all measures reasonably necessary to protect against the unauthorised access, use, alteration, or destruction of potentially personally-identifying and non-personally-identifying information.

6. Cookies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to a website each time a visitor returns.

We use cookies to help identify and track visitors, their usage, and their website access preferences.

Visitors who do not wish to have cookies placed on their computers should set their browsers to refuse cookies before using Our Services, with the drawback that certain features may not function properly without the aid of cookies.

Advertisements appearing on Our website may also be delivered to You by advertising partners, who may set cookies.

This information allows them to, among other things, deliver targeted advertisements that they believe will be of most interest to You. This Privacy Policy covers the use of cookies by Us and does not cover the use of cookies by any advertisers.

7. Additional provisions

If Socially Worth It, or substantially all of its assets, were acquired, user information would be one of the assets that would be transferred, or acquired by a third-party.

You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and that any acquirer of Socially Worth It may continue to use your personal information as set forth in this policy.

8. How We protect your information

The security of Your information is important to Us. Socially Worth It has implemented safeguards to help protect information about You from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. For example, We use Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) while information is being transmitted. We also enforce technical and administrative access controls to limit which of our employees have access to non-public personal information.

However, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. We urge You to take steps to keep Your personal information safe, such as choosing a strong password and keeping it private, as well as logging out of Your user account, and closing Your web browser when finished using the Platform on a shared or unsecured device.

9. Payments

We may provide paid products and/or services within the Services. In that case, We use third-party services for payment processing (e.g. payment processors).

We will not store or collect your payment card details. That information is provided directly to Our third-party payment processors whose use of Your personal information is governed by their Privacy Policy.

The payment processor We work with is:

  • Stripe
