We
respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our
compliance with this privacy policy ("Policy"). This Policy describes
the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide
("Personal Information") on the rewardia.ca
website ("Website" or "Service") and any of its related products and
services (collectively, "Services"), and our practices for collecting,
using, maintaining, protecting, and disclosing that Personal
Information. It also describes the choices available to you regarding
our use of your Personal Information and how you can access and update
it.
This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you
("User", "you" or "your") and Myshopping Australia Pty Ltd (doing
business as "Rewardia", "we", "us" or "our"). If you are entering into
this agreement on behalf of a business or other legal entity, you
represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to this
agreement, in which case the terms "User", "you" or "your" shall refer
to such entity. If you do not have such authority, or if you do not
agree with the terms of this agreement, you must not accept this
agreement and may not access and use the Website and Services. By
accessing and using the Website and Services, you acknowledge that you
have read, understood, and agree to be bound by the terms of this
Policy. This Policy does not apply to the practices of companies that we
do not own or control, or to individuals that we do not employ or
manage.
Automatic collection of information
When
you open the Website, our servers automatically record information that
your browser sends. This data may include information such as your
device’s IP address, browser type, and version, operating system type
and version, language preferences or the webpage you were visiting
before you came to the Website and Services, pages of the Website and
Services that you visit, the time spent on those pages, information you
search for on the Website, access times and dates, and other statistics.
Information
collected automatically is used only to identify potential cases of
abuse and establish statistical information regarding the usage and
traffic of the Website and Services. This statistical information is not
otherwise aggregated in such a way that would identify any particular
User of the system.
Collection of personal information
You
can access and use the Website and Services without telling us who you
are or revealing any information by which someone could identify you as a
specific, identifiable individual. If, however, you wish to use some of
the features offered on the Website, you may be asked to provide
certain Personal Information (for example, your name and e-mail
address).
We receive and store any information you knowingly
provide to us when you create an account, publish content, or fill any
forms on the Website. When required, this information may include the
following:
- Account details (such as user name, unique user ID, password, etc)
- Contact information (such as email address, phone number, etc)
- Basic personal information (such as name, country of residence, etc)
- Sensitive personal information (such as ethnicity, religious beliefs, mental health, etc)
- Geolocation data of your device (such as latitude and longitude)
- Any other materials you willingly submit to us (such as articles, images, feedback, etc)
You
can choose not to provide us with your Personal Information, but then
you may not be able to take advantage of some of the features on the
Website. Users who are uncertain about what information is mandatory are
welcome to contact us.
Privacy of children
We
do not knowingly collect any Personal Information from children under
the age of 18. If you are under the age of 18, please do not submit any
Personal Information through the Website and Services. If you have
reason to believe that a child under the age of 18 has provided Personal
Information to us through the Website and Services, please contact us
to request that we delete that child’s Personal Information from our
Services.
We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor
their children’s Internet usage and to help enforce this Policy by
instructing their children never to provide Personal Information through
the Website and Services without their permission. We also ask that all
parents and legal guardians overseeing the care of children take the
necessary precautions to ensure that their children are instructed to
never give out Personal Information when online without their
permission.
Use and processing of collected information
We
act as a data controller and a data processor when handling Personal
Information, unless we have entered into a data processing agreement
with you in which case you would be the data controller and we would be
the data processor.
Our role may also differ depending on the
specific situation involving Personal Information. We act in the
capacity of a data controller when we ask you to submit your Personal
Information that is necessary to ensure your access and use of the
Website and Services. In such instances, we are a data controller
because we determine the purposes and means of the processing of
Personal Information.
We act in the capacity of a data processor
in situations when you submit Personal Information through the Website
and Services. We do not own, control, or make decisions about the
submitted Personal Information, and such Personal Information is
processed only in accordance with your instructions. In such instances,
the User providing Personal Information acts as a data controller.
In
order to make the Website and Services available to you, or to meet a
legal obligation, we may need to collect and use certain Personal
Information. If you do not provide the information that we request, we
may not be able to provide you with the requested products or services.
Any of the information we collect from you may be used for the following
purposes:
- Create and manage user accounts
- Improve products and services
- Send administrative information
- Send marketing and promotional communications
- Respond to inquiries and offer support
- Request user feedback
- Improve user experience
- Post customer testimonials
- Deliver targeted advertising
- Administer prize draws and competitions
- Enforce terms and conditions and policies
- Protect from abuse and malicious users
- Respond to legal requests and prevent harm
- Run and operate the Website and Services
Processing
your Personal Information depends on how you interact with the Website
and Services, where you are located in the world and if one of the
following applies: (i) you have given your consent for one or more
specific purposes; (ii) provision of information is necessary for the
performance of an agreement with you and/or for any pre-contractual
obligations thereof; (iii) processing is necessary for compliance with a
legal obligation to which you are subject; (iv) processing is related
to a task that is carried out in the public interest or in the exercise
of official authority vested in us; (v) processing is necessary for the
purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party.
We may also combine or aggregate some of your Personal Information in
order to better serve you and to improve and update our Website and
Services.
Note that under some legislations we may be allowed to
process information until you object to such processing by opting out,
without having to rely on consent or any other of the legal bases. In
any case, we will be happy to clarify the specific legal basis that
applies to the processing, and in particular whether the provision of
Personal Information is a statutory or contractual requirement, or a
requirement necessary to enter into a contract.
Managing information
You
are able to delete certain Personal Information we have about you. The
Personal Information you can delete may change as the Website and
Services change. When you delete Personal Information, however, we may
maintain a copy of the unrevised Personal Information in our records for
the duration necessary to comply with our obligations to our affiliates
and partners, and for the purposes described below. If you would like
to delete your Personal Information or permanently delete your account,
you can do so on the settings page of your account on the Website.
Disclosure of information
Depending on the requested Services or as necessary to complete any
transaction or provide any Service you have requested, we may share your
information with our trusted subsidiaries and joint venture partners,
affiliates, contracted companies, and service providers (collectively,
"Service Providers") we rely upon to assist in the operation of the
Website and Services available to you and whose privacy policies are
consistent with ours or who agree to abide by our policies with respect
to Personal Information. We will not share any personally identifiable
information with third parties and will not share any information with
unaffiliated third parties.
Service Providers are not authorized
to use or disclose your information except as necessary to perform
services on our behalf or comply with legal requirements. Service
Providers are given the information they need only in order to perform
their designated functions, and we do not authorize them to use or
disclose any of the provided information for their own marketing or
other purposes.
We may also disclose any Personal Information we
collect, use or receive if required or permitted by law, such as to
comply with a subpoena or similar legal process, and when we believe in
good faith that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect
your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to a
government request.
In the event we go through a business
transition, such as a merger or acquisition by another company, or sale
of all or a portion of its assets, your user account, and your Personal
Information will likely be among the assets transferred.
Retention of information
We
will retain and use your Personal Information for the period necessary
to comply with our legal obligations, as long as your user account
remains active, to enforce our agreements, resolve disputes, and unless a
longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
We may
use any aggregated data derived from or incorporating your Personal
Information after you update or delete it, but not in a manner that
would identify you personally. Once the retention period expires,
Personal Information shall be deleted. Therefore, the right to access,
the right to erasure, the right to rectification, and the right to data
portability cannot be enforced after the expiration of the retention
period.
Cookies
Our Website and Services use
"cookies" to help personalize your online experience. A cookie is a text
file that is placed on your hard disk by a web page server. Cookies
cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer.
Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web
server in the domain that issued the cookie to you. If you choose to
decline cookies, you will not be able to use and experience the features
of the Website and Services.
We may use cookies to collect,
store, and track information for security and personalization, to
operate the Website and Services, and for statistical purposes. Please
note that you have the ability to accept or decline cookies. Most web
browsers automatically accept cookies by default, but you can modify
your browser settings to decline cookies if you prefer.
Data analytics
Our
Website and Services may use third-party analytics tools that use
cookies, web beacons, or other similar information-gathering
technologies to collect standard internet activity and usage
information. The information gathered is used to compile statistical
reports on User activity such as how often Users visit our Website and
Services, what pages they visit and for how long, etc. We use the
information obtained from these analytics tools to monitor the
performance and improve our Website and Services. We do not use
third-party analytics tools to track or to collect any personally
identifiable information of our Users and we will not associate any
information gathered from the statistical reports with any individual
User.
Do Not Track signals
Some
browsers incorporate a Do Not Track feature that signals to websites you
visit that you do not want to have your online activity tracked.
Tracking is not the same as using or collecting information in
connection with a website. For these purposes, tracking refers to
collecting personally identifiable information from consumers who use or
visit a website or online service as they move across different
websites over time. How browsers communicate the Do Not Track signal is
not yet uniform. As a result, the Website and Services are not yet set
up to interpret or respond to Do Not Track signals communicated by your
browser. Even so, as described in more detail throughout this Policy, we
limit our use and collection of your Personal Information.
Advertisements
We
may display online advertisements and we may share aggregated and
non-identifying information about our customers that we or our
advertisers collect through your use of the Website and Services. We do
not share personally identifiable information about individual customers
with advertisers. In some instances, we may use this aggregated and
non-identifying information to deliver tailored advertisements to the
intended audience.
Email marketing
We
offer electronic newsletters to which you may voluntarily subscribe at
any time. We are committed to keeping your e-mail address confidential
and will not disclose your email address to any third parties except as
allowed in the information use and processing section. We will maintain
the information sent via e-mail in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations.
In compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act, all e-mails sent
from us will clearly state who the e-mail is from and provide clear
information on how to contact the sender. You may choose to stop
receiving our newsletter or marketing emails by following the
unsubscribe instructions included in these emails or by contacting us.
However, you will continue to receive essential transactional emails.
Push notifications
We
offer push notifications to which you may also voluntarily subscribe at
any time. To make sure push notifications reach the correct devices, we
use a third-party push notifications provider who relies on a device
token unique to your device which is issued by the operating system of
your device. While it is possible to access a list of device tokens,
they will not reveal your identity, your unique device ID, or your
contact information to us or our third-party push notifications
provider. We will maintain the information sent via e-mail in accordance
with applicable laws and regulations. If, at any time, you wish to stop
receiving push notifications, simply adjust your device settings
accordingly.
Affiliate links
We may
engage in affiliate marketing and have affiliate links present on the
Website and Services for the purpose of being able to offer you related
or additional products and services. If you click on an affiliate link, a
cookie will be placed on your browser to track any sales for purposes
of commissions.
Links to other resources
The
Website and Services contain links to other resources that are not
owned or controlled by us. Please be aware that we are not responsible
for the privacy practices of such other resources or third parties. We
encourage you to be aware when you leave the Website and Services and to
read the privacy statements of each and every resource that may collect
Personal Information.
Information security
We
secure information you provide on computer servers in a controlled,
secure environment, protected from unauthorized access, use, or
disclosure. We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and
physical safeguards in an effort to protect against unauthorized access,
use, modification, and disclosure of Personal Information in our
control and custody. However, no data transmission over the Internet or
wireless network can be guaranteed.
Therefore, while we strive to
protect your Personal Information, you acknowledge that (i) there are
security and privacy limitations of the Internet which are beyond our
control; (ii) the security, integrity, and privacy of any and all
information and data exchanged between you and the Website and Services
cannot be guaranteed; and (iii) any such information and data may be
viewed or tampered with in transit by a third party, despite best
efforts.
As the security of Personal Information depends in part
on the security of the device you use to communicate with us and the
security you use to protect your credentials, please take appropriate
measures to protect this information.
Data breach
In
the event we become aware that the security of the Website and Services
has been compromised or Users’ Personal Information has been disclosed
to unrelated third parties as a result of external activity, including,
but not limited to, security attacks or fraud, we reserve the right to
take reasonably appropriate measures, including, but not limited to,
investigation and reporting, as well as notification to and cooperation
with law enforcement authorities. In the event of a data breach, we will
make reasonable efforts to notify affected individuals if we believe
that there is a reasonable risk of harm to the User as a result of the
breach or if notice is otherwise required by law. When we do, we will
post a notice on the Website, send you an email.
Changes and amendments
We
reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms related to the
Website and Services at any time at our discretion. When we do, we will
revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. We may also provide
notice to you in other ways at our discretion, such as through the
contact information you have provided.
An updated version of this
Policy will be effective immediately upon the posting of the revised
Policy unless otherwise specified. Your continued use of the Website and
Services after the effective date of the revised Policy (or such other
act specified at that time) will constitute your consent to those
changes. However, we will not, without your consent, use your Personal
Information in a manner materially different than what was stated at the
time your Personal Information was collected.

acknowledge that you have read this Policy and agree to all its terms
and conditions. By accessing and using the Website and Services and
submitting your information you agree to be bound by this Policy. If you
do not agree to abide by the terms of this Policy, you are not
authorized to access or use the Website and Services.
