Some of the information you provide us as part of your dealings with us may be “Personal Information” under the Act.

If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, please do not use, register or subscribe to use, upload any data or obtain any information, products or services via any Sepixo Service or provide any Personal Information to us.
If you would like to know more about data protection generally, there is information available from the Australian Information Commissioner at the following website – www.oaic.gov.au
What types of Personal Information do we collect?
We will only collect information that is reasonably necessary for us to perform our functions and activities and provide you with the Sepixo Service you wish to use. Personal Information we collect from you may depend on how you use our Sepixo Service, whether you are registered or have subscribed to use any Sepixo Service and how you otherwise choose to communicate with us.
If you are a visitor to or user of the Sepixo Website, Personal Information we collect from you may include your computer’s IP address and any other Personal Information that you choose to disclose to us through your use of the Sepixo Website (including by posting information to or uploading information via the Sepixo Website).

How do we use your Personal Information?
We will use Personal Information for the purpose disclosed at the time of collection, or otherwise as set out in this Privacy Policy and our Sepixo Website Terms of Use (Terms of Use). Except as specifically set out in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, we will not sell or disclose Personal Information to any person located in Australia or overseas or use Personal Information for any other purpose without your prior consent, unless authorised or required by or under Australian law or a court/tribunal/government order.
Generally, we may use and disclose Personal Information for the following purposes only:
- to facilitate interactions between you and third parties by providing links to third party websites via the Sepixo Website;

We may send you electronic messages updating you about products, services, events, offers and special offers. We will only send you such electronic messages if you have consented to receive them or it can be inferred from your existing business or other relationship with us, that there is a reasonable expectation of receiving those electronic messages. All electronic marketing and promotional messages will identify us, and you can opt-out by unsubscribing to any of the emails we send.
Any additional purpose for the collection (not included in this policy or our Terms of Use) will be identified when we collect the Personal Information, or as soon as practicable afterwards.
How do we use information that is not Personal Information?
From time to time we may sell or disclose information you provide us that is not Personal Information or does not disclose your identity to any person for any purpose at our sole discretion, including to people or companies located outside of Australia. For example, we may sell, disclose or use information you provide us that is not Personal Information to determine what advertising, promotional materials, products or services are likely to be of most interest to you or other Sepixo Website visitors and to assist third parties to monitor general consumer trends in various areas. We may also modify Personal Information (through encryption, aggregation or other de-identifying techniques) so that it is in a form from which you or others cannot be identified and sell or disclose such modified information to any person for any purpose, including to people or companies located outside of Australia.
How do we collect your Personal Information?
We collect Personal Information from information you provide directly to us when you access and use any Sepixo Services, set up a subscription account for any Sepixo Services, pay for a product or service we provide via any Sepixo Services, contact us, request us to provide additional services, participate in surveys or questionnaires and from data and other information you upload via Sepixo Services.
Cookies
“Cookies” are small data files sent by a website and stored on your computer’s hard drive when you visit a website. A cookie can contain certain information that the website uses to track the pages you have visited. Sepixo Services use cookies to assist with managing any accounts you may hold with us, optimising your usage of Sepixo Services and to identify you on return visits to the Sepixo Website or other Sepixo Services (as applicable). Most internet browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually change your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie or to reject cookies. However, while most of the content of Sepixo Services can be viewed without accepting cookies, full functionality requires the use of cookies.
What happens if you don’t provide us with the information we require?
If you don’t provide us with certain information, we may be unable to provide you the information, products or services you wish to receive.
If you wish to remain anonymous or to use a pseudonym when dealing with us, we may be able to provide you with limited information or services. However, in some cases it may not be possible for us to assist you with your specific needs if you wish to remain anonymous or use a pseudonym.
Personal Information security
We will take commercially reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure Personal Information is protected from risks such as loss, interference, unauthorised access or use, destruction, modification or disclosure. Aside from the disclosure or transfer of Personal Information to our Hosting Service Provider and other third party service providers, we only permit our authorised personnel to access Personal Information.
Sepixo will comply with the notification and other requirements of the Act where Personal Information held by Sepixo has been inadvertently lost or disclosed or improperly accessed and that loss, disclosure or access may result in serious harm to you or any person.
The Internet is not a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, we cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us or we send to our Hosting Service Provider over the Internet or for any unauthorised access, use or modification of that information.
The Sepixo Website does, and other Sepixo Services may, provide links or references to other 3rd party websites, products, services or resources (3rd Party Services). These 3rd Party Services are not subject to this Privacy Policy. You should review the privacy policy of each 3rd Party Service accessed via links from the Sepixo Website and any other Sepixo Services, and assess whether the policy of each 3rd Party Service is satisfactory to you before you use the 3rd Party Service. You acknowledge and agree that we are not responsible for any Personal Information you choose to disclose to a 3rd party through any 3rd Party Service referred to by or linked to the Sepixo Website or any Sepixo Services and that such 3rd parties may store your Personal Information in any location in accordance with their own security standards.
Payment card information
For subscribers to Sepixo Services, we use a secure third party service to process payments for products or services offered through Sepixo Services from time to time. We do not keep a record of your credit or debit card number used to pay for products or services via the secured third party payment service providers used by Sepixo Services from time to time.
Using 3rd parties to process your information or provide services
We may use third party companies (third party service providers) to manage information that you provide from time to time. When we use third party service providers, we seek to keep the amount of Personal Information they hold to a minimum and obviously use reasonable efforts to make sure they are as careful with your information as we are. We may disclose or transfer Personal Information to third party service providers and our Hosting Service Provider to be stored overseas (see “Where your information is stored” below).
Where your information is stored
We engage a third party Hosting Service Provider to provide data storage services and to store Personal Information, data and information submitted by you through your use of Sepixo Services. Our Hosting Service Provider and other third party service providers may transmit, maintain and store all or parts of Personal Information, data and information on multiple servers across various jurisdictions in addition to servers in Australia. Servers in which your information (including Personal Information) may be stored by our Hosting Service Provider and other third party service providers are likely to be located in Australia or Singapore, although additional or other locations may be used by our Hosting Service Provider or other third party service providers in the future.
The Act requires us to ensure that our Hosting Service Provider and any other third party service provider we may use from time to time, comply with applicable Australian privacy laws unless you agree otherwise. Acknowledging all of the above, by providing us with information (including Personal Information), using Sepixo Services or registering or subscribing to use any Sepixo Services, you: (a) consent to us disclosing and transferring Personal Information, data and information (including the categories of Personal Information listed in this Privacy Policy) to our Hosting Service Provider and any other third party provider for the purpose of allowing our Hosting Service Provider and third party service providers to host all data necessary to support the Sepixo Services you use and for us to provide, and facilitate payment for, the information and services accessible via Sepixo Services; (b) consent to us, our Hosting Service Provider and any other third party service provider transmitting, maintaining and storing Personal Information, data and information (including the categories of Personal Information listed in this Privacy Policy) between and on servers located outside of Australia, including in the regions referred to above; and (c) agree that the requirement under the Act for us to ensure that our Hosting Service Provider and any other third party service provider we may engage from time to time comply with applicable Australian privacy laws in respect of Personal Information, data and information you provide (including the categories of Personal Information listed in this Privacy Policy) does not apply. We may engage other data storage providers or store your information on servers in other locations in the future and will update this Privacy Policy if that is the case.
Your rights of access and correction
You have the right to access Personal Information which we have collected from you within the requirements of the Act. We will respond to any access request within a reasonable period.
If you wish to access your Personal Information, or believe that any of the Personal Information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete, irrelevant, out-of-date or misleading, please contact us at hello@sepixo.com If reasonable and practicable to do so, we will provide access in the form requested by you. We will take reasonable steps to correct any inaccurate, incomplete, out-of-date, irrelevant or misleading Personal Information if you request us to do so, where required by law. If we decline to make the requested amendment for reasons permitted by the Act, if you ask us to do so, we will include a note with that Personal Information in your file that you have requested it to be amended.
We may withhold or refuse you access to Personal Information if we are legally authorised to do so or where its disclosure to you is restricted by law, is the subject of legal action, or may compromise the privacy of another person. We will give you reasons explaining why we have refused access, or refused access in the form you have requested, unless it would be unreasonable to do so, having regard to the reasons for our refusal.
We may charge you a reasonable fee to access your information as permitted by applicable law.
How can you stop receiving marketing information?
Where marketing information is forwarded to you via electronic messages, there will be a functional ‘unsubscribe’ mechanism contained in the message.
If you no longer wish to be contacted by us or receive such marketing information, you can advise us:
- by emailing us at hello@sepixo.com; or
- by clicking the ‘unsubscribe function’ (where marketing information is sent electronically).
We will keep a record of your request to ensure you do not receive that information in the future.
You cannot refuse to receive information which we are required to provide to you by law.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update or change this policy from time to time. When we do so, we will publish the current policy on our website located at www.sepixo.com. The amended policy will apply between us whether or not we have given you specific notice of any change. We suggest that you visit our website regularly to keep up to date with any changes.
