Your Privacy Matters to Us

1. Hi there, we’re Wowy Pty Ltd (ABN 11 119 159 741) of Level 1, 121 King Street Melbourne, 3000, Australia (“捷报比分”) 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 Wowy user or visitor to our Sites. It applies across Wowy Elements, Wowy Market, Wowy Twenty20, Wowy Studio, Wowy Sites, Wowy Tuts+ and Placeit (the “About Your Data”).
2. When we say 'we,' 'us,' or '捷报比分,' we mean our company that owns and operates this site.
3. The term 'Policy' refers to this Privacy Policy. 'User Terms' means the rules for using each website. Rules vary by product and are presented separately, requiring separate consent, not consent to this Policy.

What Data We Gather

4. We collect certain personal information from visitors and users.
5. 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 Your Info

6. This includes data you provide directly, information automatically collected as you browse, or data gathered by others when using our services.
7. We gather your personal details when you register, purchase or offer goods/services, subscribe to newsletters, join mailing lists, submit feedback, enter contests, complete surveys, or communicate with us.
8. 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 Wowy and customers the ability to enforce contracts for authors who break the rules. Wowy also has certain legal obligations that require us to know who our authors are in certain circumstances. In light of this, if you are an author we will verify your identity, in particular, your name, full address and date of birth by asking you to show us a Photo ID document. The verification procedure is called Wowy Verify. Wowy Verify will be carried out by our service provider Jumio Corporation located at 395 Page Mill Road, Suite 150, Palo Alto, California, USA. As part of Wowy Verify, you will be asked to take a selfie which will then be compared against your Photo ID document using facial recognition technology. We will use your Photo ID document solely to carry out Wowy Verify and delete it after the completion of this process.

   3. other third party sources/and or partners from Australia, US or UK, whereby we receive additional information about you (to the extent permitted by applicable law), such as demographic data or fraud detection information, and combine it with information we have about you.

We also receive information about you and your activities on and off the Wowy platform through partnerships, or about your experiences and interactions from our partner ad networks.
