Introduction

Hello and welcome! This Privacy Policy explains how we, Bilby, collect, use, and protect your information when you use our services. We’re committed to being transparent and easy to understand, so we’ve updated our policy to be as clear as possible.

When we mention “you” or “user,” we’re talking about you, the individual accessing our service through your club, organization, or association. We refer to these clubs as our “Partners.”

Personal Data is any information that can be used to identify you, like your name, email address, or phone number. Usage Data is information automatically collected when you use our website, such as how long you visit a page.

By using our service, you agree to the collection and use of this information in line with this Privacy Policy. We use your data to provide and improve the service we offer, and your privacy is our top priority.

Data collection

When you use our service, we collect a few different types of information to help us provide and improve what we do. This includes personal data, usage data, and tracking data.

Personal data

To give you access to our service, we may ask you for certain personal information. This can include your email address, name, phone number, address, and year of birth.

Our Partners—the clubs, organizations, and associations you belong to—can also customize their own fields to collect data relevant to their operations. This means they may ask for additional information from you.

Usage data

We also automatically collect Usage Data to understand how you interact with our service. This data helps us improve our website and apps.

This includes information like your IP address, browser type and version, the pages you visit, and the time and date of your visits. If you access our service from a mobile device, we may also collect information about the type of device you’re using, its unique ID, and your mobile operating system. This helps us ensure the service runs smoothly on all your devices.

Tracking technologies and cookies

To make our service better for you, we use cookies and similar tracking technologies. These tools help us understand how you use our website, remember your preferences, and generally improve your experience.

If you’d like to learn more about the specific cookies we use and how you can manage your preferences, please visit our Cookie Policy page.

Use of data

We use the personal data we collect for a number of important purposes to ensure our service runs smoothly and to provide you with the best possible experience.

Providing Our Service

We use your data to provide and maintain our service and to manage your account. This includes giving you access to all the features available to you as a registered user. Your information is also used to fulfil any contracts for services you purchase through us.

Communicating With You

We’ll use your contact details to get in touch with you about your account. This can be through email, phone, SMS, or app notifications. We’ll send you important updates and security information about our service. With your consent, we may also send you news, special offers, and information about other products and services we think you might be interested in.

Improving and Analysing Our Service

Your data helps us improve what we do. We use it for data analysis to identify usage trends, evaluate our promotional campaigns, and enhance our service and products.

When We Share Your Personal Data

We may share your information with certain third parties under specific circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may share your data with trusted partners who help us monitor and analyse our service.
  • With Other Users: If you share information in public areas of the service, other users may be able to see and use that information.
  • With Your Consent: We will only share your personal information for any other purpose with your explicit consent.

Retention of data

We will only keep your Personal Data for as long as we need it to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. This means we’ll hold on to your data to meet our legal obligations, resolve any disputes, and enforce our agreements.

We also keep Usage Data for internal analysis. This data is usually kept for a shorter time, unless we need it to improve the security or functionality of our service, or if the law requires us to keep it for longer.

Transferring of data

Since we operate in different locations, your information, including your Personal Data, may be processed on computers outside of your own country or jurisdiction (Australia, New Zealand). The data protection laws in these places might be different from yours.

By agreeing to this Privacy Policy and submitting your information, you are consenting to this transfer. We promise to take all reasonable steps to ensure your data is handled securely and in line with this policy, and we will never transfer your data to a country or organisation without making sure there are adequate security measures in place.

Disclosing of data

Law enforcement

We may be required to share your personal data if the law requires it, or in response to a valid request from a public authority. This may be necessary to:

  • Comply with a legal obligation
  • Protect and defend the rights and property of Bilby
  • Prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing related to the service
  • Protect the personal safety of our users or the public
  • Protect against legal liability

Email Marketing

With your consent, we may use your personal data to send you newsletters, marketing materials, and other information we believe you’ll find interesting. You can choose to stop receiving these communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send you or by contacting us directly.

Payments

When a Bilby Partner offers paid products or services, we use secure third-party services to process payments. We do not store or collect your payment card details ourselves. This information is given directly to the payment processor, and their use of your data is governed by their own privacy policy. These processors follow the strict security standards set by the PCI Security Standards Council to ensure your payment information is handled safely.
