We handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
By using the services available from our website www.messagexchange.com (“the Website”), or which we otherwise provide to you under the name “MessageXchange”, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy, the Terms of Use, and any other arrangements that apply between us.
We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing changes to it on the Website. We encourage you to check our Website periodically to ensure that you are aware of our current Privacy Policy.
What personal information do we collect?
Personal information includes information or an opinion about an individual that is reasonably identifiable. The information that we collect will depend on the specific Services that we are providing to you.
In general, though, we collect the following types of personal information:
- your name;
- information we need to contact you, such as your telephone number, mailing address, or email address;
- the name of your company and your position;
- your device ID, device-type, computer and connection information, statistics on page views, traffic to and from our site, ad data, IP address and standard web log information;

How do we collect personal information?
We may collect personal information when you:
- register to use the Services;

- interact with or use the Services (for instance, when you upload content to the Services).
We will only ask for your personal information from you directly. If you provide personal information to us about another person (for instance, personal information contained in content that you upload to the Website using the Services), you must ensure that:
- the person to whom the personal information relates has authorised you to provide that personal information to us; and
- you have informed that person about the contents of this Privacy Policy.
You can choose to deal with us anonymously or using a pseudonym, but it may mean that we are unable to provide the Services.
Why do we collect, use and disclose personal information?
We may collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:
- to enable you to access and use the Services;
- to respond to your queries (for instance, to verify your identity when you contact us for support);
- to send you support and administrative messages, reminders, technical notices, updates, security alerts, and other information that you request;
- to send you marketing and promotional information or other information that may be of interest to you, such as information about an event, special offer or services offered by our business partners;
- to understand your preferences, such as your language preferences;
- to update and maintain the quality of the personal information that we have collected; and
- to comply with our legal obligations, resolve any disputes that we may have with any of our users, and enforce our agreements with third parties.
We only keep your personal information for as long as it is required for the purposes above. Under some circumstances, we may be required to keep some of your personal information for a specified period of time as required by law, including legal obligations relating to corporations, money laundering, and financial reporting legislation.
To whom do we disclose your personal information?
We may disclose personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy to:

- anyone to whom our assets or businesses (or any part of them) are transferred;
- specific third parties authorised by you to receive information held by us; and/or
- other persons, including government agencies, regulatory bodies and law enforcement agencies, or as required, authorised or permitted by law.
Security of your personal information
We hold your personal information in electronic and/ or hard copy form. We engage a third party cloud provider to store your information securely.
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We use a number of physical, administrative, personnel and technical measures to protect your personal information. However, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information. In particular, any electronic communications over the internet (including email, information that you provide to us using the Website, or content that you upload to the Services) are vulnerable to interception by third parties.

In addition, certain cookies and other tracking mechanisms on our Website are used by third parties for targeted online marketing and other purposes. These technologies allow a third party to recognize your computer or mobile device each time you visit the Website, but do not allow access to personal information from your MessageXchange’s Account. We do not have access or control over these third-party technologies, and they are not covered by our Privacy Policy.
