We consider your privacy to be important and we take our responsibility to protect it seriously. We understand that you are concerned about your privacy, along with the confidentiality and security of any personal information that you provide to us.
This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process, and disclose (“process”) your personal data (which includes any information you provide that may be able to identify you personally) in conjunction with your access to and use of all of the products, services, websites and apps that we offer (referred to collectively as our “services”).
How we process your personal data will depend upon how you use our services.
You may be an Admin Account Holder – You hold an Admin account for an Airtime Surveys Community and you either directly create surveys or you are monitoring surveys, feedback, memberships or results within your Admin Account. That means you’re both a “data subject” for your own data that you provide to us and a “data controller” for participants’ data that we process on your instruction.
You may be a Member Account Holder – You have received an invitation to and are a member of an Airtime Surveys Community or multiple communities and you respond to surveys, forms or applications received through your account. You are a “data subject” as you are providing your personal data to us for processing.
You may be a visitor to our website – You don’t have a Member Account or Admin Account, however you have landed on our website.
We act as both a “data controller” (when we collect your personal data ourselves, for example when you register a Member Account with us) and as a “data processor” (when we collect information on behalf of an Admin Account Holder, for example subject to a survey on the Airtime Surveys platform). Where you are completing surveys, forms or applications received through your account, the Admin Account Holder that has created the relevant survey, form or application will be the data controller.
We collect information about Admin Account Holders, Member Account Holders and visitors for different reasons.
Where you are a visitor to our website, we will only collect personal data about you where you have either consented to our collection of your personal data, or it is in our legitimate interests to do so.
If you are an Admin Account Holder or a Member Account Holder we will collect personal data about you where you have provided your express consent, to fulfil our contractual responsibility to deliver our services to you or to pursue our legitimate interests.
By accessing and using our services you are explicitly consenting to the collection and use of your personal data in accordance with the terms of this policy. By registering as an Admin Account Holder or Member Account Holder, you are consenting to the collection and use of your personal data in accordance with this policy.

Please note that at no time will we ever sell to a third party (being a party other than the Admin Account Holder) survey response data.
To store your personal data, provide customer support, perform back office functions, fraud prevention tasks or provide services to you we may need to allow our staff, suppliers and service partners (who may be located or whose resources may be located in a country other than your country of residence) to access de-identified personal data that you have supplied. The parties to which we may allow access to such information include:
These parties may change in the future and we will update this Privacy Policy when such changes take place.
We have implemented security measures to protect the security of your personal data. However, as with any transfer of data, there are still risks of data breaches. There may be instances where your personal data is transferred to third party countries and international organizations, which have not been the subject of an adequacy decision by the General Data Protection Regulation Commission. Such transfers are necessary in order for us to perform our contractual obligations and also to deliver the services.
By providing your personal data you are explicitly consenting to the international transfer and processing of such data in accordance with this policy, in full and informed knowledge of the risks associated with such transfers and processing.
You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the contact information contained in this policy or by unsubscribing. However, this may affect or limit your ability to use our services.
In all other circumstances we will only disclose personal data to a third party country recipient or international organization if the disclosure of the information is required or authorized by or under a law of the EU, an Australian law, other applicable law or a court/tribunal order.
Many of our services let you share information with others. We strongly recommend never sharing your password or access with any other person. Where you are an Admin Account Holder, remember, you hold the keys to a number of your data subjects’ personal data. Therefore, you also have a responsibility to them.
Our services provide you with different options on sharing and deleting your content but we cannot delete data that you have shared outside our services.
We consider data security incredibly important no matter which country you are located in. We have a comprehensive security system in place to protect your information. We use administrative, technical and physical safe guards to ensure your data is stored and used securely.
All our staff are trained in appropriate administrative steps to reduce risk of loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure and alteration of your data.
We use secure server software to encrypt Personal Information. We use third party companies to store behavioral information, but these are anonymized and aggregated and we only partner with third parties that meet and commit to our security standards.
Our onsite premises are secured to ensure no loss of hardware which stores personal data.
Our Data Protection Officer (who is identified in the contact information below) regularly reviews security and privacy practices to ensure our systems are up to scratch. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of data will not occur, we use reasonable efforts to prevent this.
It is also important for you to guard against unauthorized access to your personal data by maintaining strong passwords and protecting against the unauthorized use of your own computer or device.
We are sometimes required to engage third parties in order to provide you with the full scope of our services. We utilise third parties to:
All third parties that are engaged are required to comply with the same data security and privacy standards that we impose, and that are otherwise imposed by law.
We keep a record of your data for as long as necessary to provide our services to you.
If you are an Admin Account Holder, at the end of our contract with you, we remove your access to Airtime Surveys within 5 business days, but we keep your details on record for a minimum of 30 days, or as required by local laws.
If you are a Member Account Holder, we will retain any non-personally identifiable data provided by you in response to a survey for as long as directed by an Admin Account Holder. You should enquire from your Admin Account Holder as to how long they will be directing us to retain your data. If no direction has been set by the Admin Account Holder, we will retain your personal data for one year after completion of the fieldwork and any non-personally identifiable data will be retained for at least three years.
We also provide functionality within your account allowing you to amend, update or delete certain personal data.

We do not offer our services to any persons who are minors, being persons under the age of 16, or the age designated for minors as determined by the laws of the specific jurisdiction in which our services are being accessed, without the specific consent of the minor’s legal parent or guardian.
If we become aware that we have collected personal data relating to a person who is a minor without the informed legal consent of the minor ’s legal parent or guardian, we will delete that information without notice.
In the event that we are required to make changes to this policy we will identify the changes that have been made on our website.
