We may update the Privacy Policy from time to time at our sole discretion. Any variations become effective on posting the updated privacy policy and we shall have no obligation to provide you with individual notice of such changes. Your continued use of the ZRF Website and the Services following the publication of any amended privacy policy shall signify your acceptance of that amended privacy policy, except where we are otherwise obliged by law to seek your direct consent.

ACCESSING, REVIEWING AND CHANGING YOUR INFORMATION
We cannot modify your Personal Information without your instruction. You can update your details with us at any time by emailing us at support@zenroyaltyfree.com. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to maintain the truth, accuracy, and completeness of your information at all times and your failure to do so may inhibit our ability to provide the Services. We shall have no liability to you or any third party arising from your failure to keep your information up to date.
DIRECT MARKETING
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Direct Marketing” is the promotion of goods and services directly to you including through emails, phone calls, SMS, push notifications and/or the post.
How we use your Personal Data for Direct Marketing is tightly controlled by the Privacy Act. We will follow those laws to ensure you only receive Direct Marketing in circumstances where you are expecting to. Under the Privacy Act we may use your Personal Data for the purposes of Direct Marketing if:
- we collected the information directly from you; and
- you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose your Personal Data for the purpose of Direct Marketing.
As set out above, we may use your Personal Data to provide you with information regarding our Services and your Usage Information to provide you with customised recommendations regarding use of our ZRF Website (either by email, SMS, or through the ZRF Website).
Unless it would be impracticable or unreasonable, we need your consent when:
- collecting your Personal Data from a third party for the purpose of Direct Marketing; or
- you would not reasonably expect to receive the Direct Marketing.
If at any time you want to know who provided us with your Personal Data, then please send a request to us at support@zenroyaltyfree.com. We will provide the details of that third party within a reasonable time and without charge.
We recognise your right under the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and the GDPR to opt out from Direct Marketing, and as such these consents can be modified at any time by emailing us at support@zenroyaltyfree.com or clicking unsubscribe on any Direct Marketing communications. We will always provide a simple means for you to “opt-out” from receiving Direct Marketing, which typically involves an “opt-out” or “unsubscribe” link on emails, a check box on the collection notice or through a pop-up on your screen when you provide personal information on our ZRF Website.
We will not use or disclose your Personal Data for the purposes of Direct Marketing material if you have previously told us not to.
If at any time in the future you do not want us (or one of our service providers) to send you Direct Marketing material or you wish to cancel a previous consent, please inform us by contacting us at support@zenroyaltyfree.com. We will affect the change in a reasonable time and without charge.
SECURITY
We protect your Personal Data through technical security measures i.e. firewalls, encryption that limit the risk of loss, disclosure, or unauthorised access. No security measures are, however, 100% secure so we cannot guarantee the security of your information or data at any time. To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any breach of security, or direct hacking of our security measures, or any unintentional disclosure, loss or misuse of any information or data or for the actions of any third parties that may obtain any information or data.
Notwithstanding the above, we acknowledge our obligation to report any data breach that is likely to risk the rights and freedoms of natural persons to the Australian Information Commissioner and, where our data breach involves the information of EU citizens, report to the European Data Protection Supervisor. We will also inform you, where possible, if your data has been breached in circumstances where it poses a risk of serious harm or your rights and freedoms.
We also train all staff or contractors who may have access to your Personal Data about this Privacy Policy and our obligations under the Privacy Act, Privacy Principles and GDPR. For more information on our internal policies, email us at support@zenroyaltyfree.com.
THIRD PARTY LINKS
Please note that this Privacy Policy does not cover the information practices of third party websites which may be linked to our ZRF Website. Notwithstanding our encouragement for third parties to adopt similar privacy policies as ours, we are not responsible for their collection and use of your Personal Data. Please refer to the privacy policies and statements of the relevant third party website to obtain information regarding their information collection, use and disclosure policies.
OVERSEAS DISCLOSURE
We may, in the course of providing the Services to you, transfer your Personal Data to overseas countries that are deemed by the EU Commission as having an ‘adequate’ level of Personal Data protection. Where we transfer data to a third party in a country where no adequacy decision has been made, we warrant that any person or entity handling your data in those countries are bound under contract to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act, Privacy Principles and GDPR.
For the avoidance of doubt, we may transfer any data to an overseas third party with your express or implied consent, and the above condition only applies in the case of a data transfer or transmission to our related business entities in other countries.
