1. Who we are

compaigns.com.au is operated by MyNext Pty Ltd (ABN 42 127 024 953), an Australian competition aggregator. We help Australians find and enter competitions.

2. What we collect

When you register, we collect:

  • Your name and email address — to create your account and send you competition updates
  • Your postcode, age group, gender and income bracket (optional) — to show you competitions relevant to your area and demographic
  • IP address and browser info — standard web logs used to keep the site secure
  • Competitions you click on — so you can track what you've entered in your dashboard

We do not collect payment or credit card details.

3. How we use your information

  • Send you our daily competition emails
  • Show you relevant competitions based on your location or preferences
  • Let you track your competition entries in your dashboard
  • Improve the site based on how people use it (via analytics tools like Google Analytics)
  • Contact you if you win a competition we run directly

We will never use your email to send you unrelated spam or sell your address to advertisers.

4. Who we share it with

We use a small number of trusted services to run the site:

  • SendGrid — delivers our emails
  • Google Analytics — anonymous traffic analysis
  • Google reCAPTCHA — prevents bot sign-ups
  • Facebook — if you choose to log in via Facebook
  • Cloudflare — protects and accelerates the site

These providers have their own privacy policies. We only share the minimum information needed for them to do their job. We do not sell your data to advertisers or data brokers.

5. Cookies

We use cookies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences (like sort order), and understand how the site is used. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features (like staying logged in) won't work without them.

6. Your rights

  • Access — ask us what data we hold about you
  • Correction — update your details anytime in your dashboard
  • Deletion — email us and we'll delete your account and data within 7 days
  • Unsubscribe — click the unsubscribe link in any email, or visit your dashboard

These rights are supported under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles.

7. Data security

Your password is stored as a hashed value — we can't see it. We use HTTPS (SSL) on all pages to encrypt data in transit. We take reasonable steps to secure our systems, but no internet service can guarantee 100% security.

8. Changes to this policy

If we make significant changes to this policy, we'll update this page and note the date at the top. Continuing to use the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.

1 INFORMATION WE COLLECT

The types of personal information that we collect about you will depend on our relationship with you, the circumstances of collection and the type of service you request from us. The personal information may include:

  • Your name, gender, date of birth, contact details, income and assets overview, home ownership status and location
  • If you use our website or mobile applications, your geo-location, IP address, mobile telephone number or ID and details of any third party sites that you may have accessed that are our partners

1.1 In the course of business it is necessary for us to collect Personal Information. This information allows us to identify who an individual is for the purposes of our business, share Personal Information when asked of us, contact the individual in the ordinary course of business and transact with the individual. Without limitation, the type of information we may collect is:

(a) Personal Information. We may collect personal details such as an individual’s name, location, date of birth, nationality, family details and other information defined as “Personal Information” in the Privacy Act that allows us to identify who the individual is;

(b) Contact Information. We may collect information such as an individual’s email address, telephone & fax number, third-party usernames, residential, business and postal address and other information that allows us to contact the individual;

(c) Financial Information. We may collect financial information related to an individual such as any bank or credit card details used to transact with us and other information that allows us to transact with the individual and/or provide them with our services;

(e) Information an individual sends us. We may collect any personal correspondence that an individual sends us, or that is sent to us by others about the individual’s activities.

2 HOW WE COLLECT INFORMATION

We may collect personal information about you when you use our products and services, register to receive our newsletters or other communications, register to be part of one of our programs, tell us about your preferences of content, rewards and communication, register to enter prize draws, competitions and collect reward offers, participate in online surveys or question polls or purchase goods through our partners. As well as collecting information directly from you, there may be occasions when we collect information about you from a third party. These third parties may include:

2.1 Most information will be collected in association with an individual’s use of Compaigns, an enquiry about Compaigns or generally dealing with us. However we may also receive Personal Information from sources such as advertising, an individual’s own promotions, public records, mailing lists, contractors, staff, recruitment agencies and our business partners. In particular, information is likely to be collected as follows:

(a) Registrations/Subscriptions. When an individual registers or subscribes for a service, list, account, connection or other process whereby they enter Personal Information details in order to receive or access something, including a transaction;

(b) Accounts/Memberships. When an individual submits their details to open an account and/or become a member with us;
(c) Supply. When an individual supplies us with goods or services;

(d) Contact. When an individual contacts us in any way;

(e) Access. When an individual accesses us physically we may require them to provide us with details for us to permit them such access. When an individual accesses us through the internet we may collect information using cookies (if relevant – an individual can adjust their browser’s setting to accept or reject cookies) or analytical services; and/or

(f) Pixel Tags. Pixel tags enable us to send email messages in a format customers can read and they tell us whether mail has been opened.

2.2 As there are many circumstances in which we may collect information both electronically and physically, we will endeavour to ensure that an individual is always aware of when their Personal Information is being collected.

2.3 Where we obtain Personal Information without an individual’s knowledge (such as by accidental acquisition from a client) we will either delete/destroy the information, or inform the individual that we hold such information,

 

3 WHEN PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USED AND DISCLOSED

3.1 In general, the primary principle is that we will not use any Personal Information other than for the purpose for which it was collected other than with the individual’s permission. The purpose of collection is determined by the circumstances in which the information was collected and/or submitted.

3.2 We will retain Personal Information for the period necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

3.3 It may be necessary for us to disclose an individual’s Personal Information to third parties in a manner compliant with the Australian Privacy Principles in the course of our business.

3.4 We will not disclose or sell an individual’s Personal Information to unrelated third parties under any circumstances.

3.6 There are some circumstances in which we must disclose an individual’s information:

(c) In order to sell our business (in that we may need to transfer Personal Information to a new owner).

3.7 We will not disclose an individual’s Personal Information to any entity outside of Australia that is in a jurisdiction that does not have a similar regime to the Australian Privacy Principles or an implemented and enforceable privacy policy similar to this Privacy Policy. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any disclosure to an entity outside of Australia will not be made until that entity has agreed in writing with us to safeguard Personal Information as we do.

3.8 We may utilise third-pay service providers (such as Gmail from Google, Inc., and MailChimp from The Rocket Science Group LLC) to communicate with an individual and to store contact details about an individual. These service providers are located in the United States of America.

3.9 We may also disclose your personal information to our suppliers and third parties that perform other services for us in connection with the sale and provision of all our goods and services, including third parties who:

  1. Provide customer service

We may combine personal information we receive about you with other information we hold about you. This includes information received from our partners or third parties.

4.3 The security of online transactions and the security of communications sent by electronic means or by post cannot be guaranteed.
