BizNet Shoalhaven Inc. ("us", "we", or "our") operates the https://app.biznet.asn.au website and the BizNet Shoalhaven mobile application (together, the "Service").
This page informs you of our policies regarding the collection, use, and disclosure of personal data when you use our Service and the choices you have associated with that data.
We use your data to provide and improve the Service. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.
We collect several different types of information for various purposes to provide and improve our Service to you.
The Service is a members-only platform. When you apply for membership and use the Service, we may ask you to provide:
The core purpose of the Service is to record networking activity between members. As part of normal use, we store:
This information is visible to BizNet Shoalhaven administrators and, where relevant, to the other member involved in the interaction (for example, the recipient of a referral can see who sent it).
We may also collect information on how the Service is accessed and used ("Usage Data"). This Usage Data may include information such as your device's Internet Protocol address (IP address), browser type, browser version, the pages of our Service that you visit, the time and date of your visit, the time spent on those pages, unique device identifiers and other diagnostic data.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our Service and hold certain information. Cookies are files with a small amount of data which may include an anonymous unique identifier.
Examples of cookies we use:
The mobile application uses a secure access token stored on your device in place of cookies; the token is created when you log in and is removed when you log out or delete your account.
BizNet Shoalhaven uses the collected data for the following purposes:
BizNet Shoalhaven will retain your Personal Data only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your Personal Data to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements and policies.
If you delete your account, your profile information is removed. Referrals, B2B meetings and closed-business records that you were involved in remain in the system in anonymised form so that the statistics and records of the other member involved are not affected.
You may request deletion of your account at any time by:
Account deletion requests are actioned within 30 days. Some information may be retained for legal, accounting or audit reasons as described above.
Your information, including Personal Data, may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country or other governmental jurisdiction where data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.
If you are located outside Australia and choose to provide information to us, please note that we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to Australia (and to our service providers' infrastructure) and process it there.
BizNet Shoalhaven will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
By design, the Service shares limited information about you with other approved BizNet Shoalhaven members — for example, your name, business name and category appear in member directories, and your name appears on any referral, meeting or closed-business record you participate in.
If BizNet Shoalhaven is involved in a merger, restructure or asset transfer, your Personal Data may be transferred. We will provide notice before your Personal Data is transferred and becomes subject to a different Privacy Policy.
BizNet Shoalhaven may disclose your Personal Data in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:
The security of your data is important to us. We use industry-standard measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls to protect your Personal Data. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We employ a small number of third-party companies to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"). These third parties have access to your Personal Data only to perform tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.
We do not use third-party advertising or behavioural tracking networks, and we do not sell your Personal Data.
BizNet Shoalhaven aims to take reasonable steps to allow you to correct, amend, delete, or limit the use of your Personal Data. You have the following rights:
We may ask you to verify your identity before responding to such requests.
Our Service may contain links to other sites that are not operated by us. If you click on a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Our Service does not address anyone under the age of 18 ("Children"). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from anyone under the age of 18. If you are a parent or guardian and you are aware that your child has provided us with Personal Data, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected Personal Data from children without verification of parental consent, we take steps to remove that information from our servers.
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Effective date" at the top. For material changes we will also notify you by email and/or a prominent notice on the Service prior to the change becoming effective.
