This Privacy Policy applies to any information supplied to us whilst using our services, whether that be in person, by phone, over email or through our website located at https://mindhive.org (Website) (we will refer to these collectively as the Services). 

We are committed to protecting the privacy of all our users. The Privacy Act (1988) (Cth) (Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (Privacy Principles) set out in Schedule 1 of the Privacy Act, govern the collection, storage, use, and disclosure of information by which individuals may be identified. Further, we comply with EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR). 

We may update the privacy policy from time to time at our sole discretion. Any variations become effective on posting the updated privacy policy and we shall have no obligation to provide you with individual notice of such changes. Your continued use of the Services following the publication of any amended privacy policy shall signify your acceptance of that amended privacy policy, except where we are otherwise obliged by law to seek your direct consent. 

Please read this privacy policy carefully before using our Services.

If you do not agree with any part of this privacy policy, please do not use our Services. 

What information do we collect

This privacy policy covers all information collected via your use of the Services. The information we collect can be broken down into the following types: 

‘Personal Information’ means information that can be used to personally identify you such as your name, email address, contact number, profile pictures, and payment details. We do not collect or process the Personal Information of anyone under the age of 18 without the express consent of their parent or guardian. 

‘Usage Information’ means anonymous aggregate data that is automatically collected through your use of our Websites. This includes information that identifies your device, your operating system, your IP address and dates and times that you access and use the Website. This information is used for statistical analysis to help us to improve the Services to the benefit of all users. 

The GDPR recognises that Usage Information, whilst for the most part anonymous, can be cumulatively used to directly or indirectly identify you. Usage Information that can be used to identify you in any way, together with your Personal Information, shall collectively be referred to in this privacy policy as ‘Personal Data’. 

How do we collect your information 

Personal Information is collected directly from you when you: 

  • sign up

    Any information you provide on sign up where you are personally identifiable will be considered Personal Data.

  • contact us

    We may collect information from you when you contact us via our website, email, telephone or otherwise. 

  • access, browse, or use YeahNah

    We may otherwise collect information from you when you access, browse, use, or otherwise interact with our app. 

It is your choice to provide Personal Information to us. Wherever it is lawful and practicable, you have the option not to identify yourself when interacting with us. Please be aware that it may be necessary for us to collect your Personal Information to enable us to provide the Services to you. As such, if you do not wish to provide your Personal Information, we may not be able to provide the Services to you in a fully operational form.

How do we use your information

Legitimate purposes that you agree we may use your Personal Data for include but are not limited to the following: 

  • to confirm your identity;

  • to provide the Services to you;

  • to respond to requests submitted by you;

  • to improve the functionality of the app;

  • to prevent, detect and investigate potential illegal activities, security breaches and fraud; 

  • to contact you via email to provide you with periodical promotional emails about new products or other information which we think you may find interesting, only where you have opted in to receiving such communication and until you ‘opt out’ 

For the avoidance of doubt, we will only use your Personal Data for purposes that you would reasonably expect us to use your Personal Data for in connection with providing the Services to you, or where we are required by law to collect your Personal Data. We will not sell, rent, or licence your email address or any of your Personal Data.

  • employees, contractors, and officers of Mindhive and its related entities; 

  • authorities, including police, regulators or as otherwise required by law; 

  • third party Mindhive Partnership Organisations, provided that you are a member of a Mindhive Partnership Organisation that has approved public visibility of their members; or you are an individual Thought Leader. 

For the avoidance of doubt, all employees, consultants, contractors and agents of ours are bound by Australian privacy laws. 

You can withdraw your consent for us to share your Personal Data with third parties at any time by emailing us at privacy@mindhive.org, but please note that withdrawal of such consents may affect your ability to access and use the Services.

  • have their data erased that is no longer being used for a legitimate purpose; 

  • request a copy of all Personal Data held about you by us in a readable format; and 

  • request restricted processing of your Personal Data whilst any complaints or concerns are being resolved.

Accessing, reviewing and changing your information

We cannot modify your Personal Information without your instruction.

You can update your details with us at any time by emailing us at support@mindhive.org or through your account settings. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to maintain the truth, accuracy, and completeness of your information at all times and your failure to do so may inhibit our ability to provide the Services.

We shall have no liability to you or any third party arising from your failure to keep your information up to date. 

Security

We protect your Personal Data through technical security measures i.e. firewalls, encryption that limit the risk of loss, disclosure, or unauthorised access. No security measures are, however, 100% secure so we cannot guarantee the security of your information or data at any time. To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any breach of security, or direct hacking of our security measures, or any unintentional disclosure, loss or misuse of any information or data or for the actions of any third parties that may obtain any information or data. 

Notwithstanding the above, we acknowledge our obligation to report any data breach that is likely to risk the rights and freedoms of natural persons to the Australian Information Commissioner and, where our data breach involves the information of EU citizens, report to the European Data Protection Supervisor. We will also inform you, where possible, if your data has been breached in the circumstance where it poses a risk of serious harm or your rights and freedoms. 

We also train all staff who may have access to your Personal Data about this privacy policy and our obligations under the Privacy Act, Privacy Principles, and GDPR. For more information on our internal policies, email us at privacy@mindhive.org.

Please note that this privacy policy does not cover the information practices of third party websites which may be linked to our Website. Notwithstanding our encouragement for third parties to adopt similar privacy policies as ours, we are not responsible for their collection and use of your Personal Data.

Overseas disclosure

We may, in the course of providing the Services to you, transfer your Personal Data to overseas countries that are deemed by the EU Commission as having an ‘adequate’ level of Personal Data protection. Where we transfer data to a third party in a country where no adequacy decision has been made, we warrant that any person or entity handling your data in those countries are bound under contract to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act, Privacy Principles and GDPR. 

For the avoidance of doubt, all user data is stored in servers in Sydney, Australia, however, we may transfer any data to an overseas third party with your express or implied consent, and the above condition only applies in the case of a data transfer or transmission to our related business entities in other countries.
