Privacy Policy
The effective date of this Privacy Policy is January 1, 2008.
The following information is to help users and visitors (collectively "Users"
or "You") understand how we collect, use, disseminate and safeguard
the information You provide to us while accessing and using our Sportbets.com.au
software, services, the website at www.sportbets.com.au (the "Website"),
and any other websites and services as may be added from time to time (collectively,
"Service").
This Privacy Policy is incorporated into the Sportbets.com.au End User License
Agreement ("License Agreement"). Your use of the Service and any personal
information You provide on or through the Service remain subject to the terms
of this Privacy Policy and our License Agreement, available at www.sportbets.com.au/privacy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following information:
a. User Provided Information. You may provide certain personally
identifiable information to Sportbets.com.au directly, such as your first and
last name, telephone number, address, and email address (collectively, "Personally
Identifiable Information") when choosing to register, or using the Service,
participating in promotions or surveys, or subscribing to any newsletters or
other distribution lists.
Any graphics, text, files, or any other content submitted, transmitted, or
uploaded to the public areas of the Website or through the Website by Users
("User Submissions"), or other material that You make accessible to
others directly, becomes published and public information that is not protected
as "Personally Identifiable Information." Be aware that if your User
Submissions includes personal information, such as your name and email address,
other Users will have access to it and it will not be protected Personally Identifiable
Information.
When You surf our Website and use our Service, we may collect and store that
information, including the following:
b. Cookies. When You visit the Website, we may send one or
more cookies - a small text file containing a string of alphanumeric characters
- to your computer that identifies your web browser. You can set your web browser
to refuse cookies; however, this may limit the functionality our Website can
provide to You.
c. Log Files. Log file information is automatically reported
by your web browser each time You view a web page. When You register with or
use the Service, our servers automatically record certain information that your
web browser sends whenever You visit a website. These server logs may include
information such as your IP address, browser type and language, number of clicks,
domain names of websites visited, pages viewed, and the order of those pages,
the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time.
d. Clear Gifs. When You use the Service, we may use clear
gifs (a.k.a. web beacons) to collect information. Information collected through
clear gifs and cookies, and log file information is largely non-personally identifiable
information because such information is not collected or used in such a way
that an individual User can be identified, for example, by name or email address
(collectively, "Non-Personally Identifiable Information"). Collected
information may be Personally Identifiable Information or Non-Personally Identifiable
Information.
2. Use of Information
Collected information is used to operate, maintain, and provide to
You the features and functionality of the Service. Any information or User Submissions
that You submit to the Website (including on discussion boards or forums, in
blogs, messages and chat areas, etc.) becomes publicly available and can be
collected and used by other Users, who may forward this information or User
Submissions to other websites or people, making it available to the general
public and, therefore, it will not be protected Personally Identifiable Information.
We may use your Personally Identifiable Information for billing, administrative
purposes, such as notifying You of major changes in Service, news, and for other
customer service purposes. You hereby consent to our use of your email address
to send you such information.
We may use collected information to: (a) remember information so that You will
not have to re-enter it during your current or subsequent visits to the Website;
(b) provide custom, personalized content and information; (c) monitor the effectiveness
of our marketing campaigns; (d) monitor aggregate metrics such as total number
of visitors and traffic; (e) track User Submissions, and status in any promotions,
sweepstakes, and contests; (f) diagnose or fix technology problems; (g) access
your information after You sign in; (h) market our Service to advertisers and
other third parties; and (i) to improve the quality and design of the Service
and to create new features by storing, tracking, and analyzing your preferences
and trends.
3. When We Disclose Information
We may provide Non-Personally Identifiable Information to our subsidiaries,
affiliated companies, or others, including to service providers for the purposes
identified in the preceding Section 2. If we provide Non-Personally Identifiable
Information to such third party, their use of that Non-Personally Identifiable
Information shall be governed by their privacy policy, not Sportbets.com.au's
Privacy Policy.
In order to describe our Service to prospective partners, advertisers and other
third parties we may disclose aggregate user information. We share Non-Personally
Identifiable Information (such as anonymous use data) with third parties to
assist them in understanding our Service, including Users' use of our Service
and the success of promotions.
We may release collected information if required to do so by law, or if we
believe that such action is appropriate to comply with state and federal laws
or respond to a court order, law enforcement request or demand, subpoena, or
search warrant. We may share collected information in order to investigate,
prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities, including
but not limited to, fraud, potential threats to public safety or the physical
safety of any person, violations of our License Agreement or Privacy Policy,
or as otherwise permitted by law.
We also reserve the right to disclose collected information that Sportbets.com.aubelieves
is appropriate or necessary to enforce our License Agreement or Privacy Policy,
take precautions against liability, to investigate and defend itself against
any third-party claims or allegations, to assist government enforcement agencies,
to protect the security or integrity of our Service, and to exercise or protect
the rights, property, or personal safety of Sportbets.com.au, our Users or others.
4. Service Providers
Service may be used in conjunction with services provided through a
variety of third parties, such as Google; and Sportbets.com.au may allow other
third parties to serve advertisements through the Website or Service. The use
of User Submissions and other information provided by You to such third parties
is governed by their privacy policies, not our Privacy Policy. Sportbets.com.au
is not responsible for third party privacy policies or their compliance with
such policies.
5. Choices
You may update or correct your Personally Identifiable Information
at any time using the Software or by sending us an email at info@Sportbets.com.au
. If You or Sportbets.com.au intend to delete any User Submissions provided
by You, we cannot guarantee that your User Submissions will be completely removed
from all User devices or from their web pages, nor that other Users will not
misuse any content that You supply. In addition the other Users may have already
copies and forwarded your User Submissions to others, making recovery impossible.
6. Data Security
We have put in place procedures to provide data security of our servers.
We take precautions to protect your Personally Identifiable Information and
other data from loss, misuse or alteration and to safeguard and secure the data
You provide. While we strive to protect such information after it arrives at
our servers, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that is being
transmitted over the Internet. As a result, You provide such information at
your own risk.
7. Children's Privacy
Protecting the privacy of children is especially important. For that
reason, we do not knowingly collect Personally Identifiable Information submitted
by persons under 18 years of age. If You are under 18 years of age, then please
do not submit any information to the Website at any time or in any manner.

your continued use of the Service, which is governed by Australia law, this
Privacy Policy and our License Agreement, You are transferring your personal
information to Australia and You hereby consent to that transfer.
9. Merger or Bankruptcy
In the event that we acquire, are acquired by, or merge with a third
party entity, we reserve the right to transfer or assign all collected information
as part of such merger, acquisition, sale, or other change of control. In the
unlikely event of our bankruptcy or similar situation, we may not be able to
control how your information is treated, transferred, or used.
