Privacy Statement

Property Club is committed to protecting your privacy and developing technology that gives you the most powerful and safe online experience. This Statement of Privacy applies to the Property Club website and governs data collection and usage. By using the Property Club website, you consent to the data practices described in this statement.

Collection of your Personal Information

Property Club collects personally identifiable information, such as your e-mail address, name, home or work address or telephone number. Property Club also collects anonymous demographic information, which is not unique to you, such as your postcode, age, gender, preferences and interests.

There is also information about your computer hardware and software that is automatically collected by the Property Club. This information can include your IP address, browser type, domain names, access times and referring website addresses.

This information is used by Property Club for the operation of the service, to maintain the quality of the service, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the Property Club website.

Please keep in mind that if you directly disclose personally identifiable information or personally sensitive data through Property Club public message boards, this information may be collected and used by others. Note: Property Club does not read any of your private online communications.

Property Club encourages you to review the privacy statements of websites you choose to link to from Property Club so that you can understand how those websites collect, use and share your information. Property Club is not responsible for the privacy statements or other content on websites outside of the Property Club and Property Club family of websites.

Use of your Personal Information

Property Club collects and uses your personal information to operate the Property Club website and deliver the services you have requested. Property Club also uses your personally identifiable information to inform you of other products or services available from Property Club and its affiliates. Property Club may also contact you via surveys to conduct research about your opinion of current services or of potential new services that may be offered.

Property Club does not sell, rent or lease its customer lists to third parties. Property Club may, from time to time, contact you on behalf of external business partners about a particular offering that may be of interest to you. In those cases, your unique personally identifiable information (e-mail, name, address, telephone number) is not transferred to the third party. In addition, Property Club may share data with trusted partners to help us perform statistical analysis, send you emails or postal mail, provide customer support, or arrange for deliveries. All such third parties are prohibited from using your personal information except to provide these services to Property Club, and they are required to maintain the confidentiality of your information.

Property Club does not use or disclose sensitive personal information, such as race, religion, or political affiliations, without your explicit consent. Property Club keeps track of the websites and pages our customers visit within Property Club, to determine what Property Club services are the most popular. This data is used to deliver customised content and advertising within Property Club to customers whose behaviour indicates that they are interested in a particular subject area.

Property Club websites will disclose your personal information, without notice, only if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with the legal process served on Property Club or the site; (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Property Club; and, (c) act under exigent circumstances to protect the personal safety of users of Property Club, or the public.

Use of Cookies

The Property Club website uses “cookies” to help you personalise your online experience. A cookie is a text file that is placed on your hard disk by a Web page server. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. Cookies are uniquely assigned to you, and can only be read by a web server in the domain that issued the cookie to you.

One of the primary purposes of cookies is to provide a convenience feature to save you time. The purpose of a cookie is to tell the Web server that you have returned to a specific page. For example, if you personalise the Property Club pages, or register with the Property Club site or services, a cookie helps Property Club to recall your specific information on subsequent visits. This simplifies the process of recording your personal information, such as billing addresses, shipping addresses, and so on. When you return to the same Property Club website, the information you previously provided can be retrieved, so you can easily use the Property Club features that you customised.

You can accept or decline cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to decline cookies if you prefer. If you choose to decline cookies, you may not be able to fully experience the interactive features of the Property Club services or websites you visit.

Security of your Personal Information

Property Club secures your personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. Property Club secures the personally identifiable information you provide on computer servers in a controlled, secure environment, protected from unauthorised access, use or disclosure. When personal information (such as a credit card number) is transmitted to other websites, it is protected through the use of encryption, such as the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol.

Changes to this Statement

Property Club will occasionally update this Statement of Privacy to reflect company and customer feedback. Property Club encourages you to periodically review this Statement to be informed of how Property Club is protecting your information.
