Why we collect, use and disclose personal information

We only collect personal information we reasonably require to undertake and facilitate the Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge campaign, which includes using personal information to:

  • market the Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge campaign
  • market the Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge campaign’s partners and sponsors
  • market the charity partner
  • to enhance our websites, apps and services (including through data analytics)

We may also use or disclose personal information for reasonably related secondary purposes or as otherwise permitted by the Australian Privacy Act.

 

Direct marketing

We, our related bodies corporate, or our partners and sponsors of the Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge campaign may send you electronic direct mail (EDM) marketing communications via email, SMS, print or social media platforms in connection with the Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge campaign. You will only receive these marketing communications if you have expressly opted-in to receive them or we can reasonably infer your consent in accordance with the Australian Privacy Act and Spam Act. You can opt-out of receiving these marketing communications by using an opt-out facility (eg an unsubscribe link if we communicate by email) or by contacting us.

 

Who we disclose personal information to

We may disclose your personal information to:

  • our employees, professional advisers and our related bodies corporate (including Bursty Company Pty Ltd) on a need-to-know basis 
  • our sponsors and partners in connection with Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge (for example, where you are an existing customer of one of our sponsors or partners and they wish to contact you in connection with Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge) 
  • We Are Mobilise Limited, which is a charity raising funds to help people experiencing homelessness in Australia, in the event you donate (or express an interest in donating) funds to We Are Mobilise Limited in connection with Nedd’s Uncomfortable Challenge
  • our third party service providers (eg reputable payments processing platforms, security providers and data storage providers)

Otherwise, we will only disclose personal information to third parties as authorised by you, to entities acquiring our business, or as required or permitted by law.

 

Offshore disclosure

We do not ordinarily transfer personal information outside Australia. However, if we do transfer your personal information overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that your information is only processed for the purposes it was collected (or reasonably related secondary purposes) and is adequately protected using appropriate technical, organisational, contractual or other lawful means.

Storage

We hold your personal information in secure servers hosted in Australia using reputable service providers. We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference or loss as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We only allow individuals access to their personal information if they satisfy our identification requirements. If we no longer require personal information, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it.

Although we take reasonable steps to secure your personal information, we exclude all liability (including in negligence) in connection with any unauthorised access to your personal information, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded due to the operation of statutory law.
