Once you choose to provide us personally identifiable information (any information by which you can be identified), you can be assured that it will only be used to support your customer relationship with TECH 2U Internet Services Pty Limited.

Once you choose to complete the corporate information on the Marketplace any personal information you provide is considered publicly available over the Internet.

This statement is not applicable to any web sites linked to from TECH 2U Internet Services Pty Limited, which must maintain their own Privacy Statements.

This statement regarding the privacy of the personally identifiable information you provide online covers the five foundation principles of fair information: Awareness, Choice, Accuracy & Access, Security, and Oversight.

In order to tailor our subsequent communications to you and continuously improve our products and services (including registration), we may also ask you to provide us with information regarding your personal or professional interests, demographics, experience with our products, and more detailed contact preferences.

We will not collect any personal information from you revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, association membership, or details of health, disability or sexual activity or orientation. Exceptions to this include:

• where you have given express consent to TECH 2U Pty Limited to do so;
• where there are reasonable grounds to believe that disclosure is necessary to prevent a threat to life or health;
• the use is authorised by law or reasonably necessary to enforce the law; or
• when the information is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of a legal claim.

From time to time, we may also use your information to contact you to provide you with technical or special offer information we think would be of particular interest. At a minimum, we will always give you the opportunity to opt out of receiving such direct marketing or technical updates. We will also follow local requirements, such as allowing you to opt in before receiving unsolicited contact, where applicable.

Data collected online may also be combined with information you provide when making other contact with TECH 2U Internet Services Pty Limited.

If we wish to use any of this personal information, information or data for any purpose other than those specified above, we will not do so unless we have your express consent to do so.

Exceptions to this include:

• where there are reasonable grounds to believe that disclosure is necessary to prevent a threat to life or health;
• where TECH 2U Internet Services Pty Limited suspects that unlawful activity is or has been engaged in and uses the personal information, information or data to investigate the suspected unlawful activity; or
• the use is authorised by law or reasonably necessary to enforce the law. These uses may include where TECH 2U Internet Services Pty Limited is required to provide information in response to subpoenas or warrants or other legal processes including requests from the Australian Stock Exchange.

Your permission is always secured first, should we ever share your information with third parties that are not acting on our behalf and governed by our privacy policy.

If you choose to visit an advertiser you need to be aware that these advertisers are outside of the TECH 2U network and hence our control and in no way are we able to guarantee or control how they may use your personal information.

We ask that children under the age of 18 have a parent or guardian verify their membership application with TECH 2U Internet Services Pty Limited. Whilst TECH 2U Internet Services Pty Limited will make every reasonable effort to ensure that children's privacy and other rights are not compromised, it is ultimately the responsibility of parents to monitor their children's Internet usage.
