PRIVACY

POLICY

The Breakdown: Every Number Tells a Story (ABN 87 130 391 710) and its related companies (together we, us, our and other similar expressions) are committed to protecting your personal privacy.  This Privacy Policy tells you how we collect, store, use and disclose your personal information.  Information is your ‘personal information’ if it is about you as an identified or identifiable individual.  We encourage you to read this policy carefully so that you understand how we deal with that information.

Information we collect

In order to provide you with our services, we may collect and use personal information about you.  If we are not provided with all the personal information we request, we may not be able to supply our services to you, and you or your organisation may not be able to participate in future offers of services which we supply.

The type of information we collect includes names, addresses, email addresses, credit card details, bank account details (if you buy services from us) and other contact details.

 How we collect personal information

Generally, we collect your personal information from you online through our website or through written forms.  For example, we may collect information from you when you complete our registration form when becoming a registered user of our online sports data analytics service, or when you provide us with information, whether in person, by telephone, online or in writing.

How we store personal information
  • We take all reasonable steps to keep secure any personal information which we hold about you and to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or unauthorised alteration. Access to personal information is limited to our employees who specifically need it to carry out their business responsibilities. We also maintain physical security procedures to manage and protect the use and storage of records containing personal information.
  • To help us protect your privacy, you should maintain the secrecy of the user name and password you use to access and use our website. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account.
  • We are not responsible or liable for the security of data sent via the internet.

Except as indicated above, we will not disclose your personal information to a third party unless:
