Your privacy rights matter to Us, and We can prove it

4 Your privacy is extremely important to Us. So much so, We freely ‘opted-in’ to some privacy laws that didn’t apply to Us.

  • The main laws which protect Australian citizen’s information privacy are:
    • the Privacy Act; and
    • the National Privacy Principles.
  • However, given artFido’s size and business, the National Privacy Principles didn’t cover us.
  • But that wasn’t good enough for Us. To show how committed We are to protecting Your privacy rights, We successfully applied to ‘opt-in’ to the National Privacy Principles scheme. We didn’t have to, but We wanted to, because Your privacy is just as important to Us as it is to You.
    • You can access the Assistant Privacy Commissioner’s acceptance letter addressed to artFido here.
  • The ‘opt-in’ register includes a list of all the businesses like Us who have willingly chosen to be covered by the National Privacy Principles.
5 artFido caters to all art lovers worldwide, but especially focusses on the Australian and New Zealand art markets. However, We put together this artFido Privacy Policy with the Australian privacy laws in mind.

  • Why did We do this? It’s not because We don’t love the Kiwis. Rather, We did this because Australian privacy law is generally tougher than New Zealand privacy law, and as We are committed to protecting Your privacy rights, We wanted to follow the tougher rules.
    • However, You can rest assured that the artFido Privacy Policy is nonetheless generally consistent with the thrust of the New Zealand laws.

About this artFido Privacy Policy

6 In Australia, privacy laws regulate how many private sector organisations must manage personal information.

  • These laws deal with how organisations must collect, use and share personal information, and how they should manage it. The laws allow individuals to access that information, and correct the information if it is wrong.
  • These laws also say that an organisation must have a clearly expressed policy on how it manages personal information, and make the policy available to anyone who asks for it.
    • This document is that policy.
7 As You use the artFido WebsiteWe want You to be clear on:

  • how We’re collecting, using and passing on Your information, including Your Personal Information; and
  • the ways in which You can protect Your own privacy.
8 So, this artFido Privacy Policy explains how We protect Your privacy when You use the artFido Website, or the artFido Services. It covers some important stuff, like:

  • when We collect Personal Information from You, what information We collect, and the reasons why We collect it;
  • how We use Your Personal Information;
  • when We may share Your Personal Information, and how We might share it; and
  • how You can access and correct Your Personal Information.
9 If You use the artFido WebsiteYou confirm to Us that You have read and understood this artFido Privacy Policy.

  • If You find anything contained in this artFido Privacy Policy unclear, You should contact Us by sending an email to [email protected].
    • If You are still unclear on something after contacting UsYou might consider getting some legal advice.
10 This is the current artFido Privacy Policy. It might change from time to time.

  • Any amended artFido Privacy Policy takes effect once published on the artFido Website. It replaces the previous document.
  • In most cases, We don’t need to notify You of any changes. So, You should check the artFido Website regularly for any updated artFido Privacy Policy.
    • However, if We change the artFido Privacy Policy in a Material way, then We will notify You of that by email as soon as possible after publishing the new policy on the artFido Website.
11 This version of the artFido Privacy Policy was published on 17 April 2012.

When We collect Your Personal Information, and why We do it

12 Australian privacy laws outline what an organisation must:

  • do when collecting personal information; and
  • tell individuals about their collection of personal information.
13 When You use the artFido WebsiteWe collect different types of Personal Information about You. The type of Personal Information We may collect depends on how You use the artFido Website.
14 We won’t collect Your Personal Information unless it’s necessary for one or more of Our functions or activities.
15 In each case, We are the organisation collecting Your Personal Information.

  • You can contact Us by sending an email to [email protected]. For further information regarding contacting Us, see Section M.
  • You can get access to Your Personal Information at any time. For further information on accessing Your information, see Section L.
16 The following examples illustrate:

  • particular situations when We may collect Personal Information from You;
  • what types of Personal Information We may collect;
  • the main reason(s) why We collect it (that is, for which of Our functions or activities the Personal Information is necessary);
  • the types of organisations with which We usually share Personal Information of the particular kind;
  • any law that requires Us to collect the particular Personal Information; and
  • the main consequence(s), if any, for You if You don’t provide all or part of the relevant Personal Information.
17 Example 1 – when You casually visit the artFido Website:

  • We may collect Personal Information from You if You visit the artFido Website to read, browse or download information.
  • In this circumstance, Our computer system may automatically collect and record particular information in relation to Your visit to the artFido Website. This information might include:
    • Your broad geo-location;
    • Your IP Address, ISP and domain type;
    • Your browser type;
    • the date and time of Your visit;
    • the total time You spent on the artFido Website;
    • the artFido Website pages You accessed, the time You spent on each page and Your navigation paths;
    • information contained in Cookies; and
    • the details of any information You downloaded.
  • The main reasons why We collect this Personal Information is to help Us in:
    • Running the artFido WebsiteIncluding:
      • improving the website display, content and navigation; and
      • monitoring how the artFido Website is being used; and
    • increasing user security; and
    • diagnosing service or system problems (for example, the problems might be associated with IP Addresses which a specific ISP controls).
  • The types of organisations with which We usually share information of this kind are Trusted Third Parties.
  • Whether any law requires Us to collect this particular information will depend on the types of information which make up the specific bundle of information Wecollect in a particular user visit.
  • The main consequence for You if You don’t provide all or part of the relevant Personal Information is You may not be able to access the artFido Website’s full functionality, and its exciting potential.
18 Example 2 – when You register as a Member:

  • We may collect Personal Information from You if You register as a Member.
  • When You register, We may require You to give Us Personal Information such as Your:
    • contact details (for example, Your name, street address, telephone number and email address); and
    • demographic information (for example, Your gender).
  • The main reasons why We may collect this Personal Information is to enable Us to:
    • efficiently process Your membership application;
    • provide the artFido Services to You;
    • contact You to provide You with Administrative Services Information.
  • The types of organisations with which We usually share Your Personal Information are:
    • if You are buyer – the seller of the Work You bought: or
    • if You are seller – the buyer of Your Work.
  • No law requires Us to collect this particular information, but good common sense does – how else will the other party to Your transaction contact You to finalise it?
  • The main consequence for You if You don’t provide all or part of the relevant Personal Information is that You won’t be able to become a Member, or access the artFido Website’s full functionality. That’d be a real shame.
19 Example 3 – when You enter competitions or take part in promotions:

  • artFido may offer competitions or promotions from time to time. We may collect Personal Information from You if You enter a competition, or take part in a promotion.
  • When You enter a competition, or take part in a promotion, We may require You to provide Us with Personal Information.
    • For example, when You enter a competition, We may require You to provide Us with Your contact details.
  • The main reason why We collect this Personal Information is to enable Us to conduct the competition or carry out the promotion, Including contacting You if Youare a winner or a participant.
  • The types of organisations with which We usually share information of this kind are any contractors which run, or assist Us in running, the competition or promotion.
  • No law requires Us to collect this particular information, but good common sense does – how else will We contact You if You win a competition?
  • The main consequence for You if You don’t provide all or part of the relevant Personal Information is that We won’t:
    • enter You in the competition; or
    • let You take advantage of the promotion.
20 Example 4 – when You contact Us:

  • We may collect Personal Information from You if You contact Us.
  • When You contact Us directly, You may give Us Personal Information in that communication.
    • For example, if You send Us an email or letter, You may provide Us with details about Yourself and Your particular situation. We will collect that information in a file set aside just for You.
  • The main reason why We collect this Personal Information is to create a record which will help Us to resolve the issue You are facing which prompted You to contact Us.
  • The types of organisations with which We usually share information of this kind will depend on the nature of Your issue.
    • For example, if You email Us directly with Your concerns that someone has used, or might use, Your membership to act unlawfully, We may share Your Personal Information with the relevant persons or authority.
  • Whether any law requires Us to collect this information also depends on the nature of Your issue.
  • The main consequence for You if You don’t provide all or part of the relevant Personal Information is that We can’t help You to resolve Your issue.
E

How We use Your Personal Information

21 Australian privacy laws outline how organisations may use an individuals’ personal information.
22 How We use the Personal Information We collect from You usually depends on the main reason(s) why We collected it in the first place.

  • If You provide Your Personal Information to Us for a specific purpose(s), We may use that information for that purpose(s).
    • For example, if You provide Us with Personal Information to allow You to register as a Member or to enter a competition, We will use Your Personal Information to make the thing happen.
    • By way of another example, if You provide Us with Your credit card details when You register as a MemberWe will pass on Your details to Our Payment Provider to let them process and collect any Fees You owe Us.
  • We may also use Your Personal Information for a purpose which is related to the main reason(s) why We collected the information in the first place, provided Youwould reasonably expect Us to use the information for that related purpose.
    • For example, if You provide Us with Personal Information to enable Us to provide the artFido Services to You, then We might use Your Personal Information to assist Us to:
      • respond to how You use the artFido Services;
      • to improve, enhance and customise those services over time;
      • to develop new services; and
      • Run the artFido System.
    • By way of a second example, if You provide Us with Personal Information to enable Us to provide the artFido Services to You as an art collector or art enthusiast, then We might use Your Personal Information to provide You with Services Information.
    • By way of a third example, if You provide Us with Personal Information to enable Us to conduct a competition or carry out a promotion, then We might use Your Personal Information to provide You with information about related or similar competitions or promotions You might be interested in.
23 If You expressly or impliedly consent to Us using Your Personal Information in a particular way, We may use Your information in that way.

  • For example, if You are a Casual User or a MemberYou expressly consented to Us using Your Personal Information to provide You with Services InformationYou did so when You agreed to clause 15 of the artFido Terms.
    • However, You have a right to ‘opt-out’ of receiving Promotional Services Information emails.
      • We send You Promotional Services Information emails on an ‘opt-out’ basis. So, if at any time You don’t want to receive them, just click on the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of these emails and follow Your nose. We won’t sniff around about this again, unless You ask Us to.
  • We won’t give Your contact details to external market research companies unless You expressly consent.
F

When We may share Your Personal Information, and how We might share it

24 Australian privacy laws outline when organisations may share an individual’s personal information.

  • If certain conditions are met, an organisation doesn’t always need to get an individual’s consent to share personal information.
25 We will only share Your Personal Information with others in limited circumstances, and then only to the extent necessary. For example, where:

  • You provide Your Personal Information to Us for a specific purpose(s) which We can’t achieve without sharing the information, and then only to the extent needed to fulfil that purpose(s).
  • Both:
    • Our purpose in sharing Your Personal Information is one which is related to the main reason(s) why We collected the information in the first place; and
    • You would reasonably expect Us to share the information for that related purpose, and then only to the extent needed to fulfil that related purpose.
      • For example, if You provide Us with Personal Information to enable Us to offer to You the artFido Services and all related aspects of artFido’s business, then We might share Your Personal Information with a Third Party Acquirer, but then:
        • only to allow them to investigate artFido’s economic position, Including to conduct due diligence;
        • subject to appropriate confidentiality and data security obligations; and
        • We will notify You before a different privacy policy starts to apply to Your Personal Information.
      • By way of a second example, if You provide Us with Personal Information to enable Us to provide to You the artFido Website and artFido Services, then We might share Your Personal Information with Trusted Third Parties if We reasonably believe it is necessary to allow artFido to acquire from them services related to the artFido System, but then only for purposes concerning acquiring those services.
      • By way of a third example, if You provide Us with Personal Information to enable Us to provide You with an artFido Website and artFido Services of the highest quality, then We might share Your Personal Information with independent, third party service providers (Including consultants, accountants and auditors) where We reasonably believe this is necessary for Us to undertake:
        • planning, research (Including internal and market research), service development or testing; or
        • risk management; and
          • in any case, only for purposes related to the particular aim.
  • You have expressly or impliedly consented to Us sharing Your Personal Information, and then only to the extent You have consented.
  • We have reason to suspect that someone has, is, or might in the future act unlawfully, and We must share Your Personal Information:
    • when We investigate the matter, and then only to the extent necessary to aid our investigation; or
    • in reporting Our concerns to the relevant persons or authorities, and then only for the reporting purposes.
  • The law requires or permits Us to share Your Personal Information, and then only to the extent legally required or permitted.
    • For example, We might be legally required or permitted to share Personal Information to allow a party to prepare for, or conduct, legal proceedings, Includingto allow Us to enforce the artFido Terms.

When and why We collect information that isn’t Personal Information, and when We might share it

26 When You use the artFido WebsiteWe or a third party may collect different types of Generic Information from You.

  • The privacy laws don’t apply to Generic Information. However, We are committed to openness. So, We thought You might like to know a little about:
    • other information that We or third parties might collect;
    • how it might be used; and
    • with who it might be shared.
27 The following examples illustrate:

  • particular situations when We or a third party on Our behalf may collect Generic Information from You;
  • what types of Generic Information We or a third party may collect;
  • the main reason(s) why We or a third party collect it; and
  • the types of organisations with which We or the third party usually share Generic Information of the particular kind.
28 Example 1 – when You use the artFido Website:

  • We may personally, or through a third party, collect Generic Information from You when You use the artFido Website.

        • the date, time and duration of Your visit; and
        • the webpages You accessed.
  • The main reasons why We collect this Generic Information is to enable Us to Run the artFido Website, and prepare and analyse other data.
    • After monitoring how the artFido Website is used, the third party will provide artFido with a report. This report will contain only Aggregated Information.
    • Similarly, the first step in artFido using the information contained in Cookies is to process it into Aggregated Information.
    • artFido may use this Aggregated Information to:
      • Run the artFido Website; and
      • prepare and analyse statistics regarding things like:
        • the artFido System’s performance; and
        • users’ behaviours.
  • The types of organisations to which We usually share Generic Information of this particular kind is Our business partners and contractors.
    • For example, We might share this information to enable Us to show them trends about the general use of the artFido Website and the artFido Services.
    • We may occasionally share this Generic Information with advertisers.
29 Example 2 – when You use the artFido Services:

  • We may collect Generic Information from You if You are a Member, and You use the artFido Services.
  • When You use the artFido Services:
    • We may require You to give Us Generic Information.
      • For example, when You create a listing for the sale of a WorkWe may:
        • require You to complete certain fields and select certain options; and
        • collect information regarding the specific fields and options You completed or selected respectively.
    • We may automatically acquire Your Generic Information.
      • For example, We may collect information about the particular services that You use, and how You use them. So, when You submit an online bid for a Workbeing auctioned, We might collect information such as:
        • the amount of the bid You made;
        • the time You placed the bid; and
        • which particular Work You were bidding on.
  • The main reason why We collect this Generic Information is to enable Us to do internal research on Our users’ needs, interests, behaviours, demographics, and user protection, to better understand and serve You, and the art loving community.
  • The types of organisations to which We usually share Generic Information of this particular kind are Our business partners and contractors.

    • The FAQs describe how You can leave feedback. You can get the FAQs here shop.artfido.com/faq.
  • Once Members provide feedback, We collect that information.
    • The feedback’s content depends on whether a Member leaves feedback for Us, or another Member.
  • The main reason why We collect this Generic Information is to enable Us to do internal research on Our users’ needs, interests, behaviours, demographics, and user protection, to better understand and serve You, and the art loving community.
  • The types of organisations to which We usually share Generic Information of this particular kind depends on the type of information You give Us, but may include Our business partners and contractors.

Making sure Your Personal Information is Correct

42 Under Australian privacy law an organisation must ensure the personal information it holds is accurate, complete and current.
43 We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the data We hold about You is of a high quality.

  • So, artFido takes all reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information it collects, uses or shares is Correct.
    • We take these steps at the time We collect, use or share Your Personal Information.
    • However, if We use or share Your Personal Information soon after we have collected it from YouWe are less likely to check it again. We think that’s only fair.

Accessing and correcting Your Personal Information

44 Under Australian privacy law individuals have a right to:

  • access their personal information; and
  • have that information corrected if it is Incorrect.
45 Where artFido collects a Member’s Personal Information, that Member has a right to access that information.

  • Once You become a MemberYou may at any time access and change Your Personal Information by accessing Your Membership Profile.
    • For example, You can access and update Your:
      • email address; or
      • credit card details.
    • We will store previous email addresses against Your Membership Profile to make sure that each Member keeps only one account with Us, as clause 13 of the artFido Terms requires.
  • You may want to know the details of some Personal Information about You which We collect and hold that isn’t contained in Your Membership Profile.
  • Subject to clause 45(d), if We hold Personal Information about YouWe will provide You with access to that information if You ask for it.
    • Before We let You access Your Personal InformationWe may ask You to verify Your identity.
    • We might give You access by:
      • providing You with information over the phone;
      • allowing You to inspect records;
      • allowing You to take notes;
      • sending You an email with an attachment; or
      • giving You a photocopy or printout of a record.
    • We will try to give You access within:
      • 14 days of Your request – if giving access is straightforward;
      • 28 days of Your request – if giving access is tricky; or
      • 2 months of Your request – if giving access is really complicated.
  • Unfortunately, in some situations We won’t be able to give You access to Your Personal Information. For example, where:
    • giving access would have an unreasonable impact upon someone else’s privacy;
    • the request for access:
      • doesn’t have any serious purpose or value;
      • is trivial and made for amusement’s sake;
      • is mainly made to annoy or worry;
      • is made as a means of You or someone else pursuing some unrelated gripe against Us, another Member or Casual User; or
      • is one which has been made repeatedly, in each case the request relating to the same Personal Information;
    • the information relates to present or likely legal proceedings, Including a dispute between You and Us, or You and another Member or Casual User, and Youwouldn’t get access to the information through the usual legal procedures;
    • the law requires or permits Us to deny access; or
    • giving access would likely prejudice an investigation of possible unlawful activity (for example, fraud or theft).
  • However, if We can’t provide You with access to Your Personal Information for any reason, We will:
    • give You Our reasons for denying access.
      • Where possible, We will tell You which legal exception We are relying on to refuse access.
    • where reasonable, consider whether We can allow access to a mutually-agreed intermediary on Your behalf.
      • We will only allow intermediary access if doing so would meet both parties’ needs.
  • Also, if We can’t provide You with total access for any reason, where possible We will give You access to any part(s) of the record that aren’t off limits.
    • For example, in some cases We can’t provide You with access to a document containing Personal Information about someone else because it would unreasonably impact on that third party’s privacy.
      • However, if We can satisfactorily and permanently delete the third party’s Personal Information from the document before releasing it to YouWe will give You access to the document as amended.
46 Where artFido collects a Member’s Personal Information, that Member has a right to more details about how We handle that Member’s information.

  • We are committed to openness. So, if You ask, We will take all reasonable steps to give You more details about the way We manage Your Personal Information.
    • For example, We will take all reasonable steps to let You know, generally:
      • what types of Personal Information about You We hold;
      • for what purposes We hold that information;
      • when We collect or how We use the information; and
      • with whom We might share that information.
47 Where artFido collects a Member’s Personal Information, that Member has a right to correct that information.

  • You can correct Your Personal Information at any time by accessing Your Membership Profile.
  • If You establish that Your Personal Information that We hold is Incorrect, then We will take all reasonable steps to correct that information.
  • However, if You can’t establish that Your Personal Information that We hold is Incorrect, then We will:
    • not change the information in Our records;
    • provide You with Our reasons for not changing the information; and
    • if You ask Us to, take all reasonable steps to attach to the information a statement that You claim the information is Incorrect.
  • You may want to discuss with Us any issue about correcting Your Personal Information.
48 Subject to clause 48(a), We won’t charge You for Our giving You access to Your Personal Information, or for Our correcting it.

  • But artFido may charge You for giving access if Your request is really complicated or onerous, but then only an amount proportionate to the nature and extent of Your request.
