Privacy Policy

 

This Get Fishing privacy policy (the “Privacy Policy”) is intended to inform you of our policies and practices regarding the collection, use and disclosure of any information you submit to Terasoft  Pty Ltd t/a Get Fishing [ACN: 089665743, ABN: 26089665743] through the Get Fishing website.

 

User Consent:

By accessing or otherwise using Get Fishing, you agree to the terms and conditions of this Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into and forms a part of the Get Fishing terms of service (set forth on our disclaimer). You expressly consent to the processing of your Personal Information and Anonymous Information according to this Privacy Policy.

 

Your Personal Information may be processed and stored in other countries (including the United States) where laws regarding processing of Personal Information may be less stringent than the laws in your country. Your Personal Information will not, however, be used or disclosed for purposes for which you have not given consent or which are not permitted under applicable law.

 

Regarding Children:

Children under the age of 13 must have parent supervision when using Get Fishing and when competing in our tournaments. We do not intentionally collect or maintain Personal Information from those who are under 13 years old. Protecting the privacy of children is very important to us. Thus, if we obtain actual knowledge that a user is under 13, we will take steps to remove that user’s Personal Information permanently from our databases. Children between the ages of 13 and 18 must obtain their parent’s permission before submitting information over the internet. To purchase tournament membership you must be over 18 years old. By using Get Fishing, you are representing that you are at least 18 years old, or that you have a parent’s or guardian’s supervision to use Get Fishing.

 

Collection of Information:


Personal Information that You Provide

In general, we collect Personal Information that you submit to us voluntarily through Get Fishing. We also collect information that you submit in the process of creating or editing your account and user profile on Get Fishing. For example, our registration and login process requires you to provide us with your name, valid email address and password of your choice. When you personalize your profile and use the features of Get Fishing, we will collect any information you voluntarily provide, and we may also request optional information to support your use of Get Fishing, such as your year of birth, gender and other demographic information. We collect information in the form of the content that you submit during your use of Get Fishing, such as photos, reviews, ratings and other information you choose to submit. We may also collect information about you and your friends who use Get Fishing, from any social network you may have connected from, in order to provide you with a more personalized experience. For instance, we may collect your user ID or profile information that you have permitted to be displayed through Get Fishing in order to display you as a friend or in association with your profile and collections. When you make a purchase, you will need to submit your credit card or other payment information so that our service providers can process your payment for the Deal. We do not see any of this information as it is all handled by our bank. When you sign up for, or win, any contests, sweepstakes, or other activities that we make available on Get Fishing, we will collect the information designated along with such activity, which may include your contact information such as your address, email address and phone number. If you choose to sign up to receive information about products or services that may be of interest to you, we will collect your email address and other related information. Additionally, we collect any information that you voluntarily enter, including Personal Information, into any postings, comments, or forums within the Get Fishing community.

 

Personal Information from Other Sources

We may receive Personal Information about you from other sources with which you have registered, companies who we have partnered with (collectively, “Partners”) or other third parties. We may associate this information with the other Personal Information we have collected about you.

 

E-mail and E-mail Addresses

If you send an e-mail to us, or fill out our “Feedback” form through Get Fishing, we will collect your e-mail address and the full content of your e-mail, including attached files, and other information you provide. We may use and display your full name and email address when you send an email notification to a friend through Get Fishing or the social network from which you have connected to Get Fishing (such as in an invitation, or when sharing your content). Additionally, we use your email address to contact you on behalf of your friends (such as when someone sends you a personal message) or notifications from a social network or other website with whom you have registered to receive such notifications. We may use this e-mail address to contact you, for things such as notifications of limited edition shop sales and other related information. You may indicate your preference to stop receiving further promotional communications as further detailed below.

 

Information Collected Via Technology

As you use Get Fishing, certain information may also be passively collected and stored on our or our service providers’ server logs, including your Internet protocol address, browser type, and operating system. We also use Cookies and navigational data like Uniform Resource Locators (URL) to gather information regarding the date and time of your visit and the solutions and information for which you searched and viewed, or on which of the advertisements displayed on Get Fishing you clicked. This type of information is collected to make Get Fishing and solutions more useful to you and to tailor the experience with Get Fishing to meet your special interests and needs.

 

An “Internet protocol address” or “IP Address” is a number that is automatically assigned to your computer when you use the Internet. In some cases your IP Address stays the same from browser session to browser session; but if you use a consumer internet access provider, your IP Address probably varies from session to session. For example, we, or our service providers, may track your IP Address when you access Get Fishing to assist with ad targeting.

 

“Cookies” are small pieces of information that a website sends to your computer’s hard drive while you are viewing a website. We may use both session Cookies (which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies (which stay on your computer until you delete them) to provide you with a more personal and interactive experience with Get Fishing. Persistent Cookies can be removed by following your Internet browser help file directions. In order to use our services offered through Get Fishing, your web browser must accept Cookies. If you choose to disable Cookies, some aspects of Get Fishing may not work properly, and you may not be able to receive our services.

 

We may also enable advertisers and ad servers to promote third-party products and/or services by placing advertisements on Get Fishing. These advertisers and ad servers may use Cookies and/or “Web Beacons” (which are usually small, transparent graphic images) in order to monitor information related to served advertisements. Clicking on such advertisements will direct you to the website of a third-party and the advertiser. This Privacy Policy does not cover the privacy practices of any advertisers or ad servers.

 

Use and Disclosure of Information:

We may disclose Personal Information and you consent to us disclosing Personal Information to third parties: a) engaged by us to perform functions or provide products or services on our behalf such as mailouts, marketing or advertising; b) that sponsor or promote any competition; c) authorised by you to receive information held by us; or d) as required or permitted by any law. You will generally be given the opportunity to “unsubscribe” from receiving communications from us in accordance with this policy. You may “unsubscribe” by clicking a link on the email communications sent to you or by writing to us at Get Fishing, PO Box 9359 Port Macquarie, NSW 2444.

 

In general, Personal Information you submit to us is used by us to provide you access to Get Fishing, to improve Get Fishing, to better tailor the features, performance, and support of Get Fishing and to offer you additional information, opportunities, promotions and functionality from us, our partners or our advertisers at your request. Additionally, we do share your content preferences and other information with the social network with which you have connected to Get Fishing, along with those companies and persons you have asked us to share your information with.

 

We may provide your Personal Information to third-party service providers who work on behalf of or with us to provide some of the services and features of Get Fishing and to help us communicate with you. Examples of such services include sending email, analyzing data, providing marketing assistance, processing payments (including credit card payments), and providing customer service. We require our third-party service providers to promise not to use such information except as necessary to provide the relevant services to us. We may share some or all of your Personal Information (other than credit card information) with website sponsors for their commercial purposes. If you do not want us to use or disclose Personal Information collected about you in the manner identified in this Privacy Policy, you may not use Get Fishing.

 

Additionally, we may create Anonymous Information records from Personal Information by excluding information (such as your name) that would otherwise make the Anonymous Information personally identifiable to you. Generally, we aggregate this information and use it in statistical analysis to help us analyze patterns in the use of Get Fishing. This Privacy Policy does not limit our use or disclosure of any Anonymous Information in any way, and we reserve the right to use and disclose Anonymous Information to our partners, advertisers and other third parties in our discretion.

 

We may share some or all of your Personal Information with Get Fishing affiliated and group companies that are under a common control, so that they may send e-mails to you, in which case we will require them to honor this Privacy Policy.

 

In the event we go through a business transition such as a merger, acquisition by another company, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Information may be among the assets transferred. You acknowledge that such transfers may occur and are permitted by this Privacy Policy, and that any acquirer of ours or that acquirer’s assets may continue to process your Personal Information as set forth in this Privacy Policy.

 

We may disclose your Personal Information if we believe in good faith that such disclosure is necessary to (a) comply with relevant laws or to respond to subpoenas or warrants served on us; or (b) to protect and defend our rights or property, you, or third parties. You hereby consent to us sharing your Personal Information under the circumstances described herein.
