AKA Promotions (Australia) Pty Ltd (“AKA”, “we”, “us”) is committed to protecting the privacy of visitors (“you”, “user/s”) to our website (the “Site”). We believe that all user information received by us should be securely protected and treated with respect. Before using the Site, you should read through this Privacy Policy (the “Policy”) so that you understand and are comfortable with exactly how we collect and use any information you share with us. By using the Site and/or providing information to us, you acknowledge that you understand this Policy and agree to us collecting, storing and using your information in accordance with this Policy.
This Policy applies to the Site only and not to other websites, which may be co-branded with us, framed by us or featured by us and to which we may provide direct links. Please be aware that we are not responsible for the privacy practices of other such websites. You are advised to read the privacy policies of such other websites if you access or use them.
We collect personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) as well as non-personally identifiable information. Personal Information, as used in this Policy, includes things such as your first and last name, mailing address, email address, billing information, IP addresses, demographics, passwords, telephone number and other online contact information.
We collect information provided to us by you in optional, voluntary submissions, including but not limited to information provided in registration forms if you register with the Site, purchase processes, user profiles, promotional signups, email or phone requests, software and mobile application downloads and curriculum vitae submissions.
In addition, like most other sites, when you visit the Site, we may automatically record information about you and how you use the Site and interact with communications received from us. We use cookies and other similar technology to collect information such as the nature, frequency and duration of your visit to the Site.
Cookies are small pieces of information that a website automatically transfers and stores on a user’s hard drive for record-keeping purposes. They are standard technology for most websites. Cookies help remember your information when you log on to and use the Site. They also allow us to monitor Site traffic and personalise content for you as relevant. Visitors always have the option of disabling cookies via their browser preferences, although that may result in experiencing technical problems with some part of the Site. Some cookies may be associated with visitors’ Personal Information and some may not. The information from cookies and other similar technologies is generally collected, used and stored to deliver relevant content, provide tailored services and enhance your experience when using the Site.
We may also obtain information (sometimes including Personal Information) from third party sources or by using analytics tools from third party technologies. This may include soliciting third parties to collect information on our behalf and/or to analyse non-personally identifiable information collected from the Site with information they have independently collected. Many of these companies collect and use information under their own privacy policies.
Generally, we employ user information to establish and enhance our relationship with users, to provide you with access to all parts of the Site, to enable you to download information and materials from the Site and to confirm order details or process payments for orders. The data we collect may be used to provide you with the most relevant products and services, and may also be used to analyse issues or areas of improvement so as to administer, support, improve and develop the Site.
By using the Site, you give us permission to collect information about your visit as an anonymous user for the purpose of calculating aggregate site statistics. If you register with the Site, sign up or subscribe to receive our newsletter or interact with the Site or the communications we send to you, you authorise us to use your Personal Information in order to personalise the content we deliver to you and to calculate aggregate customer data.
By using the Site you consent to our third party service providers, subsidiary websites, partners, licensees or suppliers (“Third Parties”) having access to your information, including Third Parties outside Australia. The locations of overseas Third Parties may include the European Union, the United States and others as are necessary for our purposes from time to time.
Your Personal Information may be provided to Third Parties for their use in performing internal business functions, processing orders or collecting or analysing information on our behalf.
We do not collect Sensitive Information for the purposes of targeted marketing. Sensitive Information (for example, information about a person’s racial or ethnic origin, religious affiliations, philosophical beliefs, health or genetic information, sexual preference or professional, trade or union associations) may only be collected if volunteered by users with their consent, and will only be used for the purposes of collecting it.
Whenever possible, we require Third Parties to collect and exploit user information in accordance with this Policy and for no purpose other than providing us with our requested services. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas Third Parties do not breach the Australian Privacy Principles when dealing with information or that there are laws or schemes in place in those locations, including enforcement mechanisms, that are substantially similar to those required by the Australian Privacy Principles.
However, you understand and accept that we cannot guarantee the safe handling of your information by Third Parties and are not responsible for the conduct of Third Parties in collecting, storing or using your information.
We may disclose your information if we are legally bound to do so or if, in our reasonable opinion, such disclosure is necessary to prevent harm to other users, any Third Parties or ourselves. We will notify you of such disclosure in such instances.
In the event that there is a change of control such that we transfer part or all of our assets to a third party, then that third party will obtain access to any information we have collected either automatically or directly from you. We will make reasonable efforts to notify you by posting a notice on the Site and sending you an email (if we have that information).
You can unsubscribe from receiving our communications at any time by clicking the “unsubscribe” button in communications you receive from us. We may still send you relevant administrative notices from time to time.
If you do not wish to have your browsing activity tracked for the purposes of delivering you targeted advertisements or content, you may opt out of the services we currently use, by the unsubscribe button.

We will destroy or de-identify any user information if we no longer require the information to provide you with access to the Site or related Services and if the information is not required to be stored under Australian law or other Commonwealth record.
