7. Third-Party Service Providers

We use third-party service providers to operate our business and deliver our products and services.

Depending on how you interact with us, these providers may include:

Systeme.io

We use Systeme.io for functions including website and landing-page hosting, forms, contact management and email marketing.

UpWebinar

We use UpWebinar to provide webinar registration, delivery and/or replay functionality.

Information relating to your registration and interaction with our webinar may be processed through this service.

If you participate in a Zoom meeting, Zoom may process information necessary to provide its services. Depending on the meeting settings and your interaction with Zoom, this may include your name, email address, device information, meeting information and other technical information.

Payment providers

We currently use third-party payment providers, including WarriorPlus and its applicable payment processing partners, and may use Stripe and PayPal depending on the transaction and payment method.

Payment providers process payment information directly in accordance with their own privacy policies and terms.

We do not intend to store your full payment card number or security code on our own systems.

If we introduce additional payment providers in the future, including JVZoo, this Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect that change.

Meta

We may use Meta advertising and measurement services, including the Meta Pixel, as described above.

Third-party providers may have their own privacy policies governing their collection and use of information. We encourage you to review those policies where appropriate.

8. Sharing and Disclosure of Personal Information

We do not sell or rent your personal information as a standalone product.

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to operate our business, provide our services, or for purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients may include:

• Email marketing providers

• Webinar providers

• Appointment scheduling providers

• Video conferencing providers

• Advertising and analytics providers

• Payment processors

• Professional advisers, such as accountants, insurers, lawyers and consultants

• Contractors or service providers who assist us in operating the business

• Government agencies, regulators or law enforcement where required or authorised by law

• Courts or tribunals where required

• Parties involved in a business sale, restructuring, merger or acquisition, subject to applicable law

• Other parties where you have requested or authorised the disclosure

We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to protect our legal rights, prevent fraud or unlawful activity, or protect the safety and security of our business, users or systems.

9. Overseas Disclosure and International Data Transfers

Because we use international technology and service providers and operate an international business, your personal information may be disclosed to, stored by, or processed by recipients located outside Australia.

Depending on the services used, overseas recipients may be located in countries including the United States and other countries in which our service providers or their subcontractors operate.

For example, some of the technology providers used in our business operate or process information internationally. OnceHub states that personal information may be transferred to the United States and other countries, while Zoom operates a global infrastructure and uses entities and service providers in multiple jurisdictions.

Where the Australian Privacy Principles apply, we will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances in relation to overseas disclosures, as required by applicable law.

International data transfers may also be subject to the privacy laws and legal requirements of the relevant country.

10. How We Store and Protect Personal Information

We take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Depending on the information and system involved, security measures may include:

• Access controls

• Password protection and authentication

• Secure third-party platforms

• Encryption and secure transmission technologies where provided by our service providers

• Limiting access to information to people who reasonably need it

• Monitoring and maintaining our systems

• Using reputable third-party service providers

However, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

If we become aware of a data breach involving personal information, we will respond in accordance with applicable legal requirements, including any applicable obligations under Australia's Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

11. How Long We Keep Personal Information

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to:

• Provide our products and services

• Maintain business and customer records

• Manage ongoing communications

• Resolve disputes

• Enforce agreements

• Comply with legal, tax, accounting and regulatory requirements

• Protect our legitimate business interests

The exact retention period depends on the type of information and why we hold it.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required and we are not required to retain it by law, we will take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify it.

Third-party providers may retain information in accordance with their own retention policies.

12. Access to Personal Information

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information we hold about you.

To make an access request, contact:

ourmarketingalliance@gmail.com

We may need to verify your identity before providing access.

There may be circumstances in which access can be refused or limited under applicable law. If this occurs, we will explain the reason where we are legally permitted to do so.

13. Correction of Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information we hold is accurate, complete and up to date for the purposes for which it is used.

If you believe information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please contact:

ourmarketingalliance@gmail.com

We will consider your request and, where appropriate, correct the information.
