Privacy Policy

Chairman of the Breadboard Pty Ltd (Chairman of the Breadboard) as the publisher and manager of this website (“Website”), is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy, and takes any obligations imposed on it under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) very seriously.  As a result, Chairman of the Breadboard has implemented practices, procedures and systems to:

  • maintain the confidentiality and security of personal information it collects and holds; and
  • manage its systems, practices and procedures in an open and transparent way.
  • By “personal information”, we mean information or an opinion about an identified individual, or about an individual who is reasonably identifiable from the information. Those individuals include visitors to the Website and our customers.

This Policy sets out how we handle the personal information we collect and hold, and should be read in conjunction with any other agreements we may have with you, as those agreements may set out further assurances in relation to privacy and security.

  1. What personal information does Chairman of the Breadboard collect and hold?

We do not keep files containing all of the above information on all people who contact us, or with whom we deal. In many cases, we may have only one or two pieces of data relating to any particular person.

  1. Why does Chairman of the Breadboard collect and hold personal information?

We collect and hold personal information for a variety of purposes – and different kinds of personal information are used for different purposes. In each case, however, the personal information we collect and hold is reasonably necessary for our functions and activities including, in order to provide you with services you would expect from us. These purposes are:

  • to provide you with news and information, products or services that you request from us or which we believe may interest you;
  • for purposes necessary or incidental to providing you with goods and services that you have ordered or requested from us;
  • to personalise and customise your experience when using our site (including to ensure that our site is presented in the most effective manner for you and for your computer/device);
  • to communicate with you (including by email, mail or telephone, and including in relation to changes to our products and services);
  • to manage and enhance our products and services;
  • for system administration (including the provision of support services to customers);
  • for network analysis and security;
  • to allow you to participate in interactive features of our site that may be available;
  • to investigate any complaints about or made by you, or if we have reason to suspect that you are in breach of any of our terms and conditions or that you are, have been or may be  engaged in any unlawful activity; and
  • as required or permitted by any law (including privacy legislation).
  • From time to time, when collecting information from you, we may also ask you to “opt-in” to consent to us using or disclosing your personal information other than in accordance with this Privacy Policy or any applicable law. As part of our commitment to protecting your privacy, however, you will also be given the opportunity to “opt out” from receiving communications from us or from third parties that send communications to you in accordance with this Policy or in accordance with any additional consent you give, and we will comply with your decision. (You will be able to “opt out”, for example, by clicking on an “unsubscribe” link at the end of an email, or by contacting our Privacy Officer.)
  1. How does Chairman of the Breadboard get the personal information it collects and holds?

Chairman of the Breadboard only collects personal information by fair and lawful means, including when visitors to our website:

We prefer to obtain any personal information we collect directly from you. In some cases, however, it may be unreasonable or impractical to obtain personal information directly, and we may obtain that information from someone else. If you are concerned about what personal information we may hold about you, please see below for instruction on how you can access and (if necessary) correct that information.

  1. Can I interact with Chairman of the Breadboard anonymously or under a pseudonym?

In many cases, you will need to provide your real name when interacting with us. You may however – wherever lawful and practicable – use a pseudonym (or simply not identify yourself) when dealing with us. For example, if you have a complaint or concern about our site, or a general question about any of our products or services, you are welcome to contact us without identifying yourself. In some cases, however, if you do not provide us with information, we may not be able to provide you with our products or services, or respond adequately to you.

For clarification on when you must identify yourself, please contact our Privacy Officer – info@thebreadboard.com.au or telephone +61 (0)412 577 323. (You may use a pseudonym – or simply not identify yourself – when making such an enquiry.)

  1. Who has access to my personal information?

Generally, only our staff will access your personal information, and then only on a “need to know” basis. We may, however, also disclose your personal information:

  • to people who work for us or for one of our suppliers, who may be engaged in, among other things, filling orders, processing payments and mail-outs, marketing, research and providing support services;
  • to enforce or apply our terms of use or where you have otherwise been engaged in (or threatened) any unlawful activity, and we reasonably believe that disclosure is necessary to the police, any relevant authority or enforcement body, your internet service provider, your employer or supervisor or network administrator;
  • to protect the rights, property, health or safety of Chairman of the Breadboard or its staff, customers or others (including exchanging information with other companies and organisations to protect against fraud and to reduce credit risk);
  • to our agents, business affiliates, joint venture entities and other partners (including any holding company or subsidiary, our ultimate holding company, and its holding companies and subsidiaries, as defined in section 50 of the Corporations Act 2001(Cth);

  • as otherwise required or permitted by law (including under privacy legislation).

However, please note that Chairman of the Breadboard’s obligations of confidentiality to subscribers to its Murmur software will generally mean that personal information you provide through answering a survey question via Murmur will be more stringently protected than as set out above.

While we try to link only to websites that share our high standards and respect for privacy, we are not responsible for the privacy policy of any other web site to which you provide personal information.

  1. What steps does Chairman of the Breadboard take to secure personal information?

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is treated securely and in accordance with this Policy and is not subject to misuse, interference or loss, or unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. For example, apart from using secure servers, we implement firewalls and password access and, where relevant, impose limits on who can access personal information.

While we use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption software for security, please also note that the transmission of information (including over the Internet) is never completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information – particularly while it is being transmitted to us – so any transmission is at your own risk and we cannot accept responsibility for misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, your personal information where the security of information is not within our control.

If you suspect any misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, your personal information, please let us know immediately.

If we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access our services or parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

  • Does Chairman of the Breadboard disclose personal information to people or organisations outside Australia?

Chairman of the Breadboard holds personal information securely on servers located in Australia. We will not, however, otherwise transfer your personal information overseas to a country that is not subject to a comparable privacy scheme or to an organisation that does not implement privacy obligations at least comparable to the obligations that apply in Australia.

  • Does Chairman of the Breadboard ever change its Privacy Policy?

We will review our Privacy Policy from time to time, to ensure it is in line with best practice and up-to-date with any legislative changes.  Any changes to our privacy policy will be incorporated into a new version and made available online.
