Privacy Policy

Hitnet Innovations Pty Ltd (Hitnet) is committed to protecting the safety and security of our registered users (Registrants) and is sensitive to our Registrant’s concerns about the safety of the personal information provided to us. Please read this Privacy Policy carefully in order to understand how any personal information collected by us is used.

Registrants must agree to their personal information being used by Hitnet in accordance with this Privacy Policy before they may register.

This Privacy Statement has been developed in accordance with The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Personal information we collect

Users registering to access the Hitnet app (Product) must give their consent at the time of registration to provide us with their own name and their email address.

Registrants who do not give this consent cannot provide us with their personal information and cannot login to the Product.

We require this information in order to correctly identify each Registrant as a Product user, manage their account and for granting access to restricted content.

What we will do with your information

The information collected from Registrants is used for the following purposes:

• to send confirmation emails to users who register to use the Product;

• to respond to any questions, concerns or problems raised by the Registrant;

• to contact the Registrant about any problems with their associated account or conduct therein;

What we will not do with your personal information

Hitnet will keep your personal information confidential and not sell or knowingly divulge your information to advertisers or any external third parties, unless:

• you have consented to such disclosure;

We are required to share your information with a third party in order to comply with law or to comply with a court order or subpoena;

• to enforce our Product, website or event rules; or

• to protect the safety and security of our Registrants and our Product.

Processing your information

We ask for Registrants’ consent to the use of any personal information we collect from them in accordance with our Privacy Policy at the time of registration. If a Registrant does not wish to provide us with their consent, they cannot agree to the Product Terms and Conditions and must not use the Product.

Our use of the personal information we collect is necessary in order for us to maintain the Product and facilitate Registrants’ use of the Product. We do not collect any unnecessary personal data from Registrants (for instance, their race or religious beliefs).

How long we hold your information

We will keep any personal information we collect from Registrants for as long as they are registered users of the Product. If a Registrant cancels their registration or it otherwise lapses after 3 years of not using the Product, we will only keep their personal information for the purposes of sending the Registrant information regarding Hitnet or other products and services if they agree to receive this information. Personal information is otherwise deleted or destroyed.

Keeping your personal information secure

Hitnet is committed to information security. We will use all reasonable endeavours to keep Registrants’ personal information in a secure environment. For instance, each Registrant’s personal information is encrypted whilst being sent to our server at the time of registration. However, security cannot be guaranteed due to the nature of the internet.

Hitnet's security measures are designed to assist in Registrants’ personal information not being accessed by unauthorised personnel, lost or misused. If you reasonably believe that there has been an unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, please let us know by contacting our Privacy and Data Protection Officer at [insert contact e-mail or other method of contact].

Anonymous information

In addition to personal information and results data, Hitnet also collects anonymous information about Registrants and the activities of Registrants on the Product. Anonymous information is information that is not linked to the name of a user or a specific user account. This information is used to assist us in enhancing the learning resources and the information remains anonymous at all times.

When agreeing to the Product Terms and Conditions, Registrants grant Hitnet the right to use this anonymous information for its own purposes, such as the preparation of statistical reports, provided Hitnet otherwise complies with its obligations in respect of the use of personal information.

Revision of Privacy Policy

Hitnet reserves the right to change, modify, or revise this Privacy Policy in order to comply with any applicable laws or for any other reason at any time. Therefore, our Registrants are required to check the Privacy Policy periodically to read about any changes, modifications, or revisions. Registrants may wish to check it each time they submit personal information. You will be deemed to have consented to such variation by your continued use of the Product following any changes being made.

Transfer of your data

Registrants’ personal information is uploaded to and kept on servers that we maintain or that are maintained by third parties that comply with strict contractual privacy obligations. It is not otherwise transferred internationally except where a copy is sent to the Registrant themselves at their request. Registrants must consent for their personal information to be transferred and stored in this manner at the time of registration.
