Privacy Policy

PRIVACY POLICY AND NOTICE

This is the privacy notice of Top Property. In this document, ““we”, “our”, “us” refers to Top Property Media Pty Ltd (ACN: 648 216 442) registered in Australia and “Our Website” refers to the www.Top Property.TV website.

This is a notice to inform you of our policy about all information that we record about you. It covers both information that could and could not identify you.

We are extremely concerned about protecting your privacy and confidentiality. We understand that all users of our website are quite rightly concerned to know that their data will not be used for any purpose unintended by them, and will not accidentally fall into the hands of a third party. Our policy is both specific and strict. It complies with Australian law and with the laws of all jurisdictions of which we are aware. If you think our policy falls short of your expectations or that we are failing to abide by our policy, please do tell us.

Except as set out below, we do not share, or sell, or disclose to a third party, any personally identifiable information collected at this site.

Here is a list of the information we collect from you, either through our website or because you give it to us in some other way, and why it is necessary to collect it:

1.

BUSINESS AND PERSONAL INFORMATION

This includes basic identification and contact information, such as your name and contact details and also includes all information given to us in the course of your business and ours, such as information you give us in your capacity as our client. We undertake to preserve the confidentiality of the information and of the terms of our relationship. It is not used for any other purpose.

This information is used:

1.1.

to provide you with the good and services which you request;

1.2.

for verifying your identity for security purposes;

1.3.

for marketing our services, and products;

1.4.

information which does not identify any individual may be used in a general way by us or third parties, to provide class information, for example relating to demographics or usage of a particular page or service.

We keep information, which forms part of our business record for a minimum of six years. That is because we may need it in some way to support a claim or defence in court. That is also the period within which our tax collecting authorities may demand to know it.

2.

YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS

Where you supply your email address to us, we shall not under any circumstances divulge that e-mail address to any person who is outside of our business, other than by that of the business(s) whom you’ve chosen to contact through our website. Your email address information is used:

2.1.

to correspond with you or deal with you as you expect;

2.2.

in a collective way not referable to any particular individual, for the purpose of quality control and improvement of our site;

2.3.

to send you news about the goods/services to which you have signed up;

2.4.

to tell you about other of our good/services or services of sister websites.

3.

INFORMATION YOU POST ON OUR WEBSITE

Information you send to us by posting to a page, forum, blog or alike on our website, is stored on our servers. We do not specifically use that information except to allow it to be read, but you will see in our terms and conditions that we reserve a right to use it at our discretion.

4.

WEBSITE USAGE INFORMATION

We may use software embedded in our website (such as JavaScript) to collect information about pages you view and how you have reached them, what you do when you visit a page, the length of time you remain on the page, and how we perform in providing content to you. This software is provided by Google Analytics which uses cookies to track visitor usage, and as such Google's privacy policy can be accessed here for further information [http://www.google.com/privacy.html ].

We do not associate such information with an identifiable person, hence no personally identifiable information is ever collected, saved or stored about you which ensures this data and your identity is kept 100% anonymous.

5.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO YOUR CREDIT CARDS

This information is never taken by us either through our website or otherwise. At the point of payment, you are transferred to a secure page on the website of PayPal or a related reputable payment service provider. That page may be dressed in our “livery” or identifiable brand marks and design, but we deliberately do not control the payment information of the credit card details that you enter. As such, our staff and contractors never have access to your personal credit card information.

This policy ensures the highest standards of Payment Card Information (PCI) compliance and Data Security Standards (DSS) are always maintained. This measure has been taken to ensure the strongest security protocol to protect your financial information, and is inline with the international standards of online best practice.

6.

CREDIT REFERENCE

To assist in combating fraud, we share information with credit reference agencies, so far as it relates to clients or customers who instruct their credit card issuer to cancel payment to us without having first provided an acceptable reason to us and given us the opportunity to refund their money.

7.

THIRD PARTY CONTENT

Our web site is a publishing medium in that anyone may register and then publish information about himself or some other person. We do not moderate or control what is posted. If you complain about any of the content on our web site, we shall investigate your complaint. If we feel, it may be justified, we shall remove it while we investigate. Free speech is a fundamental right, so we have to make a judgment as to whose right will be obstructed: yours, or that of the person who posted the content which offends you. If we think, your complaint is vexatious or without any basis, we may decide not to further correspond with you about it.

8.

INFORMATION WE OBTAIN FROM THIRD PARTIES

Although we do not disclose your personal information to any third party (except as set out in this notice), we do receive data that is indirectly made up from your information, from software services such as Google Analytics and others. No data we receive or store is ever personally identifiable, so we do not know who you are, and as such this data always remains completely 100% anonymous. Some of this anonymised data we collect is shared with businesses who advertise with us.

9.

CONTENT YOU PROVIDE TO US WITH A VIEW TO BE USED BY THIRD PARTY

If you provide information to us with a view to it being read, copied, downloaded, or used by other people, we accept no responsibility for what that third party may do with it. It is up to you to satisfy yourself about the privacy level of every person who might see your information. If it is available to all the World, neither we nor you have no control whatever as to how it is used.

10.

13.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that this website and its owners participate on are custom to the terms and conditions as well as the privacy policies held with each social media platform respectively.

Users are advised to use social media platforms wisely and communicate / engage upon them with due care and caution in regard to their own privacy and personal details. This website nor its owners will ever ask for personal or sensitive information through social media platforms and encourage users wishing to discuss sensitive details to contact them through primary communication channels using your Top Property Marketplace account login, by telephone or email.

This website may use social sharing buttons which help share web content directly from web pages to the social media platform in question. Users are advised before using such social sharing buttons that they do so at their own discretion and note that the social media platform may track and save your request to share a web page respectively through your social media platform account.

14.

This website and its owners through their social media platform accounts may share web links to relevant web pages. By default some social media platforms shorten lengthy urls web addresses (eg: http://tinyurl.com/jkywz67).

Users are advised to take caution and good judgement before clicking any shortened urls published on social media platforms by this website and its owners. Despite the best efforts to ensure only genuine urls are published, many social media platforms are prone to spam and hacking and therefore this website and its owners cannot be held liable for any damages or implications caused by visiting any shortened links.

15.

RE-MARKETING

We may use re-marketing from time to time. This involves Google or some other supplier placing a tag or marker on your website in order to be able to serve to you an advert for our products / services when you visit some other website.
