We may utilise “cookies” which enable us to monitor traffic patterns and to serve you more efficiently if you revisit the Website.

You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie, and this will provide you with an opportunity to either accept or reject it in each instance. Rejecting cookies may have the effect of limiting your access to parts of the Website.
We may collect information about your computer or device, including where available, your IP address, operating system, and browser type, for system administration and to report aggregated information to our advertisers. This is statistical data about our users’ browsing actions and patterns and does not identify any individual.

Except where otherwise stated by us in this privacy policy or the terms and conditions of our App, we will not, without your consent, sell or otherwise provide your personal information to a third party, or make any other use of your personal information, for any purpose which is not incidental to your use of the Website or the App.

We may disclose personal information, and you consent to us doing so, to our related entities for the purpose for which it was collected or otherwise advised under this policy.

We may disclose or make available personal information, and you consent to us doing so, to third parties who are engaged by us to perform functions or provide products and/or services on our behalf, such as third party hosting service providers and other providers of software products and related services (for the purpose of facilitating the operation of features of the Website and App and to collect and track certain data and information regarding the characteristics and activities of our users). In turn, those providers may utilise the services of other third parties to assist in these functions, on the condition that they do not use or disclose any personal information for extraneous purposes. In addition, we may disclose or make available some personal information to financial services providers processing credit cards and our agents, business partners, joint venture entities or contractors, for the purpose of distributing materials that you have consented to receive. We may also need to disclose personal information if required to conduct any investigation into you or your activities, if for example there is reason to believe that you have committed a breach of our Website or App terms and conditions. We may also disclose such information as required or permitted by any law.
We may make some of your details or personal information available to third parties for advertising purposes. We may use and/or disclose limited information such as age, gender, and location details to provide targeted advertising to users. This may involve passing limited information to ad-servers, such as details of age, gender and sports played.

If you request us not to use personal information in a particular manner at all, we will adopt reasonable measures to observe your request, but you acknowledge that use of the Website or App may involve some use of your personal information and that following your request, we may still use or disclose that information if:
• you do not provide us with adequate time to address your request.
• we subsequently notify you of the intended use or disclosure and you do not object to that use or disclosure.
• we believe that the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary to assist a law enforcement agency or an agency responsible for government or public security in the performance of their functions.
• you continue to use the App or Website.
• you do not uninstall our App.
• we are required by law to disclose the information.

Unless in using the Website or App you expressly or impliedly agree to make certain information available and able to be used and/or disclosed by use, all personal information which we collect is kept confidential to the best of our ability, subject to the terms of the App you use and this privacy policy. You will appreciate, however, that we cannot guarantee the security of transmission as there are always risks associated with transmitting information across the Internet.

In addition, our employees, contractors and other product/service providers who provide services related to our Website and App are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us.

Personal information which we collect may be aggregated for analysis but, except in circumstances where you expressly or impliedly indicate that you wish to make the information available to others and to identify you, we will use best endeavours to ensure that individuals remain unidentified.
