PRIVACY POLICY

This web page describes Govern Images' privacy policy guidelines regarding the collection and use of personal or corporate information that you provide to us.

OUR OBLIGATIONS

We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (subject to exemptions that apply to us under that Act). However, due to the nature of some of our business activities, from time to time, we will handle personal information by relying on the media exemption in the Act where appropriate.

We may, from time to time, review and update this policy, including taking into account new or amended laws, new technology and/or changes to our operations. All personal information held by us will be governed by the most recently updated policy.

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION

When used in this policy, the term "personal information" has the meaning given to it in the Act. In general terms, it is any information that can be used to personally identify you.

This may include (but is not limited to) your name, age, gender, postcode and contact details (including phone numbers and email addresses) and possibly financial information, including your credit card, direct debit or PayPal account information.

If the information we collect personally identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information.

TYPES OF INFORMATION WE GATHER AND HOW WE USE IT

Govern Images may collect information from users of its website, potential customers, prospective employees, and alliance relationships to name a few, including the information you provide to us by submitting information to us through the use of the site.

Govern Images may keep track of this information and the information that you provide to us when you visit the site for our internal review, business development, research, and marketing, and we store this information for the minimal amount of time necessary.

We may also use this information to solicit e-mail for business development, research, marketing or promotional purposes or press enquiries.

It is our practice to provide you with an opportunity to opt-in for e-mail communications and remove yourself from this distribution list by sending us an e-mail to remove.

We store this information in our database and do not plan to share it with third parties, except as described in this policy.

If we ever need to share this information with other third parties, we will notify you.

You can review and update your information by contacting us at ben@governimages.com.au.

We may use the information provided by cookies to analyse trends, administer the site, or for research and marketing purposes to help us better serve our clients.

No information which personally identifies you will be collected through the cookies.

No personally identifying or sensitive information from you will be collected as part of these cookies.

LINKS

The Govern Images website may contain links to partners, clients, and other sites of interest to our users.

Govern Images does not control the privacy practices of these other sites.

You should make sure that you know when you have left our website and, if the website you visit collects personal information, that you have read that site’s privacy policy.

SECURITY

Govern Images protects your personal information with several security measures. In addition to normal precautions such as physical security and firewalls, we have strict internal security policies.

INFORMATION SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

Govern Images does not provide information about you, except as set forth herein:

We may provide the information collected as stated herein to our business partners, which are under non-disclosure agreements with us not to disclose the information to anyone else, to assist us in growing our business concerning similar products and services.

If you do not want your information shared in this manner you will have a chance to opt-out prior to collection.

We will provide the information collected in the event we are required to provide such information by a court, administrative or governmental order or subpoena or another legal process.

If we believe it is necessary to share your information to investigate, prevent or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, violations of Govern Images terms of use or as otherwise required by law we will provide the information collected.

In the event of a corporate reorganization, either by an operation of law, merger or purchase of assets, your information may be subject to a different privacy policy which we will make available on our website.
