Personal information we collect

The personal information we may collect includes names, telephone numbers, mobile numbers, email addresses, IP addresses, employee ID, performance data, team information, job title and any other personal information that a person voluntarily discloses to us.

In addition, we log access to our Platform and, in certain circumstances, track the IP address used, the date and time of the visit, the pages viewed, and the type of browser used so we can establish a broad understanding of site traffic patterns, assist in diagnosing server problems, and perform site administration.

We use "cookies" to gather information as users navigate through our Platforms. Cookies are pieces of information that a website transfers to a computer's hard disk for record-keeping purposes. This helps us tailor and improve the information we present to you, promoting higher customer satisfaction when you visit our site. The use of cookies is common in the Internet industry, and many major websites use them to provide useful features to their customers. The cookie itself does not contain any personally identifying information other than the username, but it may be used to tell when your computer has contacted our Platform.

We do not use cookies to retrieve information from your computer that was not originally sent in the cookie, and we do not use information transferred through cookies for any promotional or marketing purposes, nor is that information shared with any third party whatsoever. We use the information for editorial purposes and for other general, non-identifying purposes, such as delivering features and advertisements. This way, we can customise the delivery of information specific to your interests without compromising privacy. For example, cookies may be used to personalise your experience with us.

We may use clear GIFs in HTML-based marketing emails sent to our users to track which emails are opened and which links are clicked by recipients. This information allows for more accurate reporting for marketing purposes.

When you access the Platform by or through a mobile device (including but not limited to smartphones or tablets), we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store one or more “device identifiers,” such as a universally unique identifier (“UUID”). Device identifiers are small data files or similar data structures stored on or associated with your mobile device, uniquely identifying your mobile device. A device identifier may be data stored in connection with the device hardware, data stored in connection with the device’s operating system or other software, or data sent to the device by us. A device identifier may convey information about how you browse and use the Platform to us. A device identifier may remain persistently on your device to help you log in faster and enhance your navigation through the Platform. Some features of the Platform may not function properly if the use or availability of device identifiers is impaired or disabled.

When you access the Platform by or through a mobile device, we may access, collect, monitor and/or remotely store “location data,” which may include GPS coordinates (e.g. latitude and/or longitude) or similar information regarding the location of your mobile device. Location data may convey to us information about how you browse and use the Platform. Some features of the Platform, particularly location-based services, may not function properly if the use or availability of location data is impaired or disabled.

What we do with personal information

We use reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. For example, data is encrypted in transit and at rest using industry-standard protocols (TLS/SSL for data in transit and AES256 for data at rest). We also maintain other electronic (e-security) measures to secure personal information, such as passwords, firewalls, and antivirus software. As part of our commitment to cyber security, we adhere to the SOC 2 Type 2 information security framework.

We may use or disclose personal information that we collect for all or any of the following purposes:

  • Conducting publicity campaigns;

In addition to the above situations, we may also need to disclose personal information to enforcement bodies for any of the following reasons:

  • The prevention, detection, investigation, prosecution or punishment of criminal offences, breaches of a law imposing a penalty or sanction or breaches of a prescribed law;
  • The enforcement of laws relating to the confiscation of the proceeds of crime;
  • The protection of the public revenue;
  • The prevention, detection, investigation or remedying of seriously improper conduct or prescribed conduct;
  • The preparation for, or conduct of, proceedings before any court or tribunal, or implementation of the orders of the court or tribunal.

We do not send "junk" or unsolicited e-mail in contravention of the Spam Act 2003 (Cth). We will, however, use e-mail from time to time to respond to inquiries, confirm purchases, or contact users of our Platform regarding their experiences with our Platform. Anytime a customer or visitor receives e-mail it does not want from us they can request that we not send further e-mail by contacting us via email at: hello@yarno.com.au.

Personal information is stored on the following third-party platforms: AWS, Postmark, Box and Helpscout.

We will not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to any third party unless authorised by you or this privacy policy or such information is disclosed in connection with our sale, merger, reorganization or consolidation of our assets or capital stock or such disclosure is required to protect the safety of employees, customers or property.

We value opinions and comments from our Platform users, so from time to time, we may conduct online surveys and questionnaires. These surveys and questionnaires are entirely optional for all customers. Typically, the information is aggregated and used to improve our Platform and develop attractive service features and promotions. Survey and questionnaire participants are anonymous unless otherwise stated in the survey.

If You are a registered user of the Platform, We will use your Registered User Data on the Platform as required by Us to provide the services that we supply through the Platform.
