How do we use the information we collect?

LiveTribe's use of information

We use the information you provide us to publish and deliver insights and relevant activities to you through LiveTribe. This can include:

  • Sending you emails or notifications to alert you of activities for which you may qualify (if you have opted in to receiving such notifications);
  • Sending you emails or notifications for marketing purposes such as promotions, competitions and upcoming events;
  • Using responses from an activity, which has been provided to a business in a de-identified way, for further analysis or use, including publication of the de-identified results;
  • Using responses from a video/audio based activity, which has been provided to a business, for further analysis or use, including publication of the identified results. The video will be securely stored and may be viewed by our researchers to understand reactions better. By participating, you consent to the collection, storage, analysis, and potential publication of your identifiable video responses as part of this study;
  • Help detect and prevent fraudulent activity;
  • Maintain the data quality of activity responses;
  • Improve and personalise your LiveTribe experience;
  • Maintain, operate and improve LiveTribe; and
  • Promote our services on affiliated third party websites using banner ads or other materials

Businesses’ use of information

There are times when businesses may require access to profile information such as:

  • Profile information to help determine the target audience for an activity; or
  • The responses you submit during an activity

All information provided to businesses will be presented in an aggregated and de-identified format, unless you grant us express permission to do otherwise.

Businesses are also allowed to ask you to provide your name, email address and other contact information during an activity. You should know that:

  • you are providing this information directly to the business and not LiveTribe;
  • your information will be dealt with in accordance with the relevant business’
  • Privacy Policy and not LiveTribe's Privacy Policy; and
  • you are always free to decline providing contact details to a business

Targeted advertising

We may use the information we collect (for example, email address and LiveTribe cookies) to send you targeted advertising on third party sites. The purpose of this retargeted advertising could be to provide you with a relevant experience through a third party site or to encourage you to login to your account.

Accessing and controlling your information

If you:

  • want to obtain access to any personal information that we hold about you;
  • object to profiling, including profiling for marketing purposes;
  • believe any of your personal information that we hold is inaccurate, incomplete or it is not necessary to hold it; or

We will provide you with our reasons if we refuse your request and, if you disagree, you are entitled to ask us to make a note of the request with your information.

You may also request that your personal information be restricted from processing where one of the following applies:

  • we are verifying the accuracy of personal information, which you believe to be inaccurate;
  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of personal information;
  • we no longer require the personal information but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; and
  • you have objected to processing and we are verifying whether there are legitimate grounds to refuse the objection

Disclosure to third parties

We will not sell, trade, give or rent any information to a third party unless:

  • you have expressly consented;
  • such disclosure is permitted by the Terms of Service or this Privacy Policy; or
  • required to do so by law

When we provide information to third parties, profile information and activity responses are only disclosed to businesses in an aggregate and de-identified format, with the exception of recorded video responses which include your image and/or voice, for which we will specifically seek your prior written consent before providing to a third party. We never provide any personally identifiable Information about you to a business, unless you expressly grant us permission to do so. This permission will (unless otherwise indicated) generally be required on a case-by-case basis.

Banking details

We only disclose your banking details to our bank for the purpose of actioning your reward requests. This disclosure occurs in an extremely secure and protected online facility.

Overseas staff handling your data

The response data for some activities may be stored and/or analysed and aggregated by staff residing in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Greece, The Philippines and India. Our staff, including contractors, are required to maintain the same privacy and data protection standards as required under the General Data Protection Regulation.

Overseas third parties

Some activities may originate from businesses based outside of your country of residence and accordingly, you agree to allow your activity response data to be provided to these businesses. When this happens, we may need to use third party hosting facilities located outside of your country of residence to ensure your information is constantly accessible and backed up in secure data storage facilities. We will ensure all third party hosting providers used are not permitted access to your information.

Data matching

We may share your information with third parties to determine if these parties already hold information about you. We do this for the following purposes:

  • to seek your consent to add the information held by third parties to your LiveTribe account; and
  • to determine if you qualify for an activity (for example for businesses who want to deploy a survey to individuals already on their database)

If the third party does not hold information about you, we ensure that the information we shared with them is destroyed.

Linking to other websites

If you associate your account with another website or online account through a LiveTribe product, we may save any data retrieved via this association into our system. In this case, the nature of the data being transferred will be outlined to you and require your express consent. Read the terms of any application carefully before accepting and using an application.

As required by law: We may be required to disclose your personal information by law, for example, to comply with a court order or legal investigation. In these cases we will do the following:

  • Review the legality of the request
  • Challenge the request if it is considered unlawful
  • Disclose the minimum amount of information necessary
  • Document these requests, including our response to the requests and the legal reasoning and actors involved.

Information security

We are committed to providing a secure online environment to use LiveTribe and have invested considerable resources to protect your information from loss, misuse, corruption and unauthorised access. More precisely, we have invested in:

  • A secure server software (SSL) technology to encrypt the transfer of all personally identifiable information
  • Firewalls that protect against unauthorised access of all of the data we collect and store

Due to the nature of the internet, it’s possible that information stored on our servers and data transmitted online can sometimes be accessed by unauthorised third parties. While we make significant investments to ensure that this risk is minimised, we cannot guarantee the information you provided us will never be compromised. By accepting this Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and accept these risks.

You’re always able to dissociate your account from any application or website you’ve previously linked to your personal account. Upon dissociating your account, we’ll provide you the option of having all associated data deleted from our records.
