Privacy Policy
Welcome to Advanza's Privacy Policy
- Hi there, we're Advanza Pty Ltd (ABN 11 119 159 741) of Level 1, 121 King Street Melbourne, 3000, Australia ("Advanza") and welcome to our privacy policy which also applies to our Affiliate Companies. This policy sets out how we handle your personal information if you're an Advanza user or visitor to our Sites. It applies across Advanza Elements, Advanza Market, Advanza Twenty20, Advanza Studio, Advanza Sites, Advanza Tuts+ and Placeit (the "Sites").
- When we say 'we', 'us' or 'Advanza' it's because that's who we are and we own and run the Sites.
- If we say 'policy' we're talking about this privacy policy. If we say 'user terms' we're talking about the rules for using each of the Sites. The rules vary by product and each product makes them separately available and seeks consent to them separately to this policy.
The type of personal information we collect
- We collect certain personal information about visitors and users of our Sites.
- The most common types of information we collect include things like: user-names, member names, email addresses, IP addresses, other contact details, survey responses, blogs, photos, payment information such as payment agent details, transactional details, tax information, support queries, forum comments (if applicable), content you direct us to make available on our Sites (such as item descriptions), your actions on our Sites (including any selections or inputs into items) and web and email analytics data. We will also collect personal information from job applications (such as, your CV, the application form itself, cover letter and interview notes).
How we collect personal information

- As the operator of digital content marketplaces, we have a legitimate interest in verifying the identity of our authors. We believe that knowing who our authors are will strengthen the integrity of our marketplaces by reducing fraud, making authors more accountable for their content and giving Advanza and customers the ability to enforce contracts for authors who break the rules.
