Wisenet Legal Information

  

We've put together the essential legalities and documents for your reference. Here's the black-and-white under the hood:

Privacy Statement & Website Terms of Use

 

Your privacy is important to Wisenet. This statement discloses the information practices for the Wisenet Website, including what type of information is gathered and tracked, how the information is used, and with whom the information is shared. Your use of this Website is governed by these Terms of Use.

 

Personal Information


In general, you can visit Wisenet on the Web without telling us who you are and without revealing any information about yourself. There are times, however, when we may need information from you.

You may choose to give us personal information, such as your name and address or e-mail that may be needed, for example, to correspond with you, to process an order or to provide you with a subscription or support services. If you tell us that you do not want us to use this information as a basis for further contact with you, we will respect your wishes.

Wisenet collects user information to make it easier and more rewarding for you to use our site. We collect non-personally identifying information about you in a number of ways, including tracking your activities through your IP address or most-recently-visited URL or through "cookies". (For more information on IP addresses or Cookies, please see the appropriate sections below). We use such information to tailor the content, services and advertising on our websites to your current and future needs. Non-personally identifying information might include the type of browser you use, the type of computer, the operating system, the Internet service provider and other similar information. We use such information in the aggregate to understand how our users as a group use the services and resources provided on our site. This way we know which areas of our site are the most popular, which areas need improvement, and what technologies are being used so that we may continually improve our site.

We do not collect any personally identifying information about you unless you voluntarily submit such information to us. We request such information when you register for mailing lists/contests/promotions, download our trial software, register your software or submit a request for technical support. You will be asked to provide the personal information that we deem necessary to complete or participate in your selected activity. An Wisenet sales representative may call you to determine if you are interested in other Wisenet products. Such representative may ask you if you would like to receive additional information on our products and services. If you are not interested, please advise the Wisenet sales representative accordingly. From time to time, we may notify you about new products and services we are offering. If you do not want to receive such mailings, simply tell us when you give us your personal information.

 

Legal basis for processing Personal Information (EEA visitors only)


Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, we will normally collect personal information from you only where we have your consent to do so, where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you, or where the processing is in our legitimate interests and not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you.

 

Wisenet can aggregate Your non-personally identifiable data


By using the Service, You agree that Wisenet can access, aggregate and use non-personally identifiable data Wisenet has collected from You. This data will in no way identify You or any other individual.

Wisenet may use this aggregated non-personally identifiable data to:

  • Assist us to better understand how our customers are using the Service,

  • Provide our customers with further information regarding the uses and benefits of the Service,

  • Enhance small business productivity, including by creating useful business insights from that aggregated data and allowing You to benchmark Your business’ performance against that aggregated data, and

  • Otherwise to improve the Service.

 

Disclosure of Information in Special Circumstances


Wisenet will not otherwise disclose Your personal information to a third party unless You have provided Your express consent. However, Wisenet reserves the right to disclose information in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be violating Wisenet's Terms of Use or may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) Wisenet's rights or property, other Wisenet users, or anyone else that could be harmed by such activities. Wisenet may disclose or access account information when we believe in good faith that the law requires it and for administrative and other purposes that we deem necessary to maintain, service and improve our products and services.

The third parties who host our servers do not control, and are not permitted to access or use Your personal information except for the limited purpose of storing the information. This means that, for the purposes of Australian privacy legislation and Australian users of the Service, Wisenet does not currently “disclose” personal information to third parties located overseas.

 

Retention


The length of time we keep your personal data depends on what it is and whether we have an ongoing business need to retain it (for example, to provide you with a service you’ve requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

We’ll retain your personal data for as long as we have a relationship with you and for a period of time afterwards where we have an ongoing business need to retain it, in accordance with our data retention policies and practices. Following that period, we’ll make sure it’s deleted or anonymized.

 

Minors


Wisenet's site is not designed for minors and therefore does not collect or want any personally identifying information from children.

 

Passwords


Your Wisenet account information is password-protected so that only you are authorised to access this personal information. We strongly recommend that you do not divulge your password to anyone. Wisenet will not ask for your password in an unsolicited phone call or in an unsolicited email.

It is Your responsibility to keep Your password to the Service safe. You should notify us as soon as possible if You become aware of any misuse of Your password, and immediately change your password within the Service or via the “Forgotten Password” process.

 

Information Security and Quality


We intend to protect the quality and integrity of your personally identifiable information. We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to help us keep your information secure, accurate, current, and complete. Your personal information is stored on secure servers that have SSL Certificates issued by Comodo, and all Data transferred between You and the Service is encrypted. Please refer to our Security Statement for more about our security arrangements and our data protection measures.

However, the Internet is not in itself a secure environment and we cannot give an absolute assurance that Your information will be secure at all times. Transmission of personal information over the Internet is at Your own risk and You should only enter, or instruct the entering of, personal information to the Service within a secure environment.

We will advise You at the first reasonable opportunity upon discovering or being advised of a security breach where Your personal information is lost, stolen, accessed, used, disclosed, copied, modified, or disposed of by any unauthorised persons or in any unauthorised manner.

We will make a sincere effort to respond in a timely manner to your requests to correct inaccuracies in your personal information. To correct inaccuracies in your personal information please return the message containing the inaccuracies to the sender with details of the correction requested.

You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to any area, product, system or network from or related to the Site or to the Wisenet server by "hacking", password "mining" or any other illegitimate means.

 

International Transfer of Information


Your information may be processed outside of the country where you live. For individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA), this means that your data may be transferred outside of the EEA. Regardless of where we use, process, or store your data, we will comply with the protections set out in this Privacy Policy. Where we disclose personal data to a third party in another country, we put safeguards in place to ensure your personal data remains protected.

A cookie is an element of data that a Web site can send to your browser, which may then be stored on your system. Some Wisenet pages use cookies to better serve you when you return to the site. You can set your browser to notify you before you receive a cookie, giving you the chance to decide whether to accept it. You can also set your browser to turn off cookies. If you do so, however, some areas of some sites may not function properly.
