Privacy Policy
Effective Date: 1 Dec 2020
Realweb Technologies (hereinafter referred to as “we”, “us”, or “Realweb”) is committed to protecting the privacy of individuals who visit our website (the “Site”) and use our services. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and manage personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the “Privacy Act”).
Who we are
We are Realweb and our official website address is: https://realweb.com.au.
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Collection of Personal Information
We may collect personal information from you when you visit our Site, interact with us online, or use our services. The types of personal information we collect may include:
Name; Email address; Phone number; IP address;
Use of Personal Information
We may use the personal information we collect for the following purposes:
To provide and personalize our services
To communicate with you, respond to your inquiries, and provide customer support
To send you marketing and promotional materials, with your consent
To improve our products, services, and customer experience
Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, modification, or disclosure.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or industry standards. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the updated Privacy Policy on our Site. Your continued use of our Site or services after the effective date of the revised Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the changes.
Contact Us
If you have any questions or concerns about our Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, or if you would like to exercise your rights regarding your personal information, please contact us at hello@realweb.com.au. By using our Site or providing us with your personal information, you consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.
