Playground XYZ Privacy Policy                                

In this Privacy Policy, 'us' 'we' or 'our' means PLAYGROUND XYZ HOLDINGS PTY LTD (ABN 76 607 526 027) and our related bodies PLAYGROUND XYZ AUSTRALIA PTY LTD (ABN 42 607 532 365), PLAYGROUND XYZ IP PTY LTD (ABN 66 607 532 025), PLAYGROUND XYZ EMEA LTD (UK Company No. 10802474), PLAYGROUND XYZ ASIA PTE. LTD. (SG Registration No. 201809380E) and PLAYGROUND XYZ NORTH AMERICA CORP (EIN 36-4922580). We are committed to respecting your privacy.

In Australia, we are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act). For individuals located within the European Economic Area (EEA), we also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (EEA) 2016/679 (GDPR). Our representative within the EEA is Playground XYZ EMEA Ltd (UK Company No 10802474) of 2nd Floor Waverley House, 7-12 Noel Street, London, United Kingdom, W1F 8GQ.  In the United States, we are subject to the California Consumer Privacy Act which comes into force on January 1, 2020 and applies only to California residents. See CA Civil Code 1798.1000, et seq.

Our Privacy Policy sets out how we collect, use, process, store and disclose your personal information. Personal information includes information or an opinion about an identified individual or an individual that is reasonably identifiable. For example, this may include your name, age, gender, postcode and contact details. Our Privacy Policy also uses the term 'personal information' to cover any information or data about identified or identifiable natural persons that is 'personal data' for the purposes of the GDPR and "personal information" or a "consumer's personal information" for the CCPA.

We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing changes to it on our website. We encourage you to check our website periodically to ensure that you are aware of our current Privacy Policy. The most current date of our Privacy Policy will appear above and at the end.

What personal information do we collect?

Depending on the activity or services involved, we may collect the following types of personal information:

We may collect these types of personal information either directly from you, or from third parties. We may collect this information when you:

Personal information relating to employees, applicants and contractors

In addition, when you apply for a job or position with us, we may collect certain personal information from you (including your name, contact details, working history and relevant records checks) as part of the application process. We may also collect these types of information about you from any recruitment consultant, your previous employers and others who may be able to provide information to us to assist in our decision on whether or not to make you an offer of employment or to engage you under a contract.

If you are or have previously been employed by us in Australia, this Privacy Policy does not apply to our acts and practices in relation to employee records of our current and former employees in Australia, which are exempt from the Privacy Act. If you are an employee of ours in the European Economic Area (EEA) or if you are an individual contractor engaged by us, this Privacy Policy will still apply to you and our handling of personal information about you.

We will collect, hold, use, process and disclose your personal information for the purposes set out in the table below.

To whom do we disclose your personal information?

We may disclose personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy to:

Disclosure of Australian personal information outside Australia

We may hold and disclose personal information outside of your country of residence to cloud providers and software providers located outside of Australia, including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Singapore and the United States of America. When you provide your personal information to us, you consent to the disclosure of your information inside or outside of Australia and acknowledge that we are not required to ensure that overseas recipients handle that personal information in compliance with the Privacy Act. We will, however, take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipient will deal with such personal information in a way that is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles, in case of the United Kingdom will deal with such personal information in accordance with the GDPR, and in the case of the United States will deal with such personal information in accordance with the CCPA.

Transfers of personal information of European individuals outside of the EEA

We may hold and disclose personal information about individuals located outside of the EEA. In particular, our Australian companies may receive personal information that was originally collected by or disclosed to our UK company. Personal information transferred by our UK company to our Australian companies will be undertaken in accordance with an intra-group data transfer agreement that implements standard data protection clauses as permitted under Article 46.2 of the GDPR. Otherwise, our data transfers conform to industry best practices and local law, if any.

In addition, we may disclose personal information to cloud providers (including Google and Amazon Web Services), software providers (Xero and DocuSign), our accountants (Hall Chadwick), and our research partners (Kantar) that are located outside of, or may store personal information outside of, the EEA, including in Singapore, Australia and the United States. When we disclose personal information to these third parties, we do so:

Websites and cookies

We may collect personal information about you when you use and access our website or a publisher's website that we (or a third party acting on our behalf) is placing advertising on.

While we do not use browsing information to identify you personally, we may record certain information about your use of these websites, such as which pages you visit, the time and date of your visit and the internet protocol (IP) address assigned to your computer or other device. We record your IP address in order to assist us to protect our systems from malicious activities, including denial of service attacks, brute force attempts to access our systems and fraud detection and prevention. We store IP addresses for this purpose for 30 days in order to detect and analyse previous attacks on our systems.

We (or a third party acting on our behalf) may also use 'cookies' or other similar tracking technologies on these website that help us track your website usage and remember your preferences. Cookies are small files that store information on your computer, TV, mobile phone or other device. Cookies are small pieces of instruction stored on your hard drive or device, not on Our Site.  Right now, there are two basic types of cookies. One is a session cookie which terminates when the user’s session ends. The second is a persistent cookie, which is a text file that stays stored on your device for a period of time. Cookies enable the entity that put the cookie on your device to recognise you across different websites, services, devices and/or browsing sessions. We (or a third party acting on our behalf) may use cookies to determine which advertisements to display to you on our website or a publisher's website that we (or a third party acting on our behalf) is placing advertising on. You can disable cookies through your internet browser but our websites may not work as intended for you if you do so.

We may also use cookies to enable us to collect data that may include personal information. For example, where a cookie is linked to your account, it will be considered personal information under the Privacy Act,  the GDPR and the CCPA. We will handle any personal information collected by cookies in the same way that we handle all other personal information as described in this Privacy Policy.

Storage of personal data

We will store your personal data for up to 5 years after we have completed providing our services to you (or to the business that employs or engages you as a contractor, if applicable). After this time:

  1. we will continue to store your personal data only to the extent required by any law applicable to our business or for compliance and risk management purposes; and
  2. we will delete or de-identify your personal data when it is no longer necessary or required to be kept.

If you are located in the EEA or the United States, we do not store images or videos of your face for any period of time; this information is processed locally on your own device and is not retained by us.

Security

We may hold your personal information in either electronic or hard copy form. We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and/or loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure and we use a number of physical, administrative, personnel and technical measures to protect your personal information.  However, if you become aware of a security breach, please notify us immediately at privacy@playgroundxyz.com.

Links

Our website may contain links to websites operated by third parties. Those links are provided for convenience and may not remain current or be maintained. Unless expressly stated otherwise, we are not responsible for the privacy practices of, or any content on, those linked websites, and have no control over or rights in those linked websites. The privacy policies that apply to those other websites may differ substantially from our Privacy Policy, so we encourage individuals to read them before using those websites.

Accessing or correcting your personal information

You can access the personal information we hold about you by contacting us using the contact information provided through the website or using the contact details set out below. Sometimes, we may not be able to provide you with access to all of your personal information and, where this is the case, we will tell you why. We may also need to verify your identity when you request your personal information.

If you think that any personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, please contact us using the details set out below and we will take reasonable steps to ensure that it is corrected.

Playground XYZ partners with Xandr to deliver advertising content to website end users and may use cookies in conjunction with Xandr for the purpose of targeted advertising. The Xandr Consumer Privacy Center website (https://monetize.xandr.com/privacy-center/) will show website end users the segments that Playground XYZ and third party providers using the Xandr platform have associated to your cookie or your mobile advertising ID and allow website end users to opt out of any segments.

Additional rights under GDPR for individuals within the EEA

If you are located within the European Economic Area (EEA), then you also have the following additional rights under the GDPR. We will comply with all of our obligations under the GDPR in respect of these rights.

Where we process any personal information about you on the basis of any consent given by you, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by giving notice to us (which you can do using our contact details set out below). We will give effect to your withdrawal of consent promptly and will cease any processing that you no longer consent to, unless we have another lawful basis for that processing. The withdrawal of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing that occurred prior to the date that you notified us that you were withdrawing your consent.

You have a right to information portability, which is the right in certain circumstances to request a copy of your personal information in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit this information to another data controller. You may also request that we erase any personal information that we hold about you which is no longer necessary for any of the purposes that we collected it for, which you have withdrawn your consent in respect of processing, which you are allowed under the GDPR to object to. We will comply with such requests unless we are permitted or required by law to retain that information.  

You also have the right to object to our processing of personal information in certain circumstances, including where we process personal information based on our legitimate interests. You can also request that we restrict our processing activities in some circumstances. If you make such a request then we will continue to store your personal information but will not otherwise process your personal information without your consent or as otherwise permitted by law.

Making a complaint

If you think we have breached the Privacy Act (if you are located in Australia) or the GDPR (if you are located within the EEA) or the CCPA (if you are in the United States), or you wish to make a complaint about the way we have handled your personal information, you can contact us at privacy@playgroundxyz.com. Please include your name, email address and/or telephone number and clearly describe your complaint. We will acknowledge your complaint and respond to you regarding your complaint within the time required by law (if applicable) or otherwise within a reasonable period of time, typically within 30 days. If you think that we have failed to resolve the complaint satisfactorily, we will provide you with information about the further steps you can take.
