Magical Privacy Statement
Privacy Policy
Magical Connect Pty. Ltd. (Magical) operates the website www.magical.com. Your
privacy is important to us. It is Magical's policy to respect your
privacy regarding any information we may collect while operating our
website.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to communicate to you how we
manage, collect, deal with, protect and allow access to personal
information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the
Privacy Act) and the Australian Privacy Principles (the APPs).
This Privacy Policy is available at our website or upon request.
Principles
At Magical we have a few fundamental principles:
- We don't ask you for personal information unless we truly need it. (We can't
stand services that ask you for things like your gender or income
level for no apparent reason.)
- We don't share your personal information with anyone except to comply with
the law, develop our products, or protect our rights.
- We don't store personal information on our servers unless required for the
on-going operation of one of our services.
- In our products, we aim to make it as simple as possible for you to control
what's visible to the public, seen by search engines, kept private, and permanently deleted.
Our Privacy Policy incorporates these goals. Note, this Privacy Policy is
based on the work generously donated by Automattic, creators of
Wordpress, under a Creative Commons Sharealike license.
This means you're more than welcome to steal it and repurpose it
for your own use, just make sure to replace references to us
with ones to you, and we're sure they'd appreciate a link to
wordpress.com somewhere on your site.)
Website Visitors
Like most website operators, Magical collects
non-personally-identifying information of the sort that web browsers
and servers typically make available, such as the browser type,
language preference, referring site, and the date and time of each
visitor request. Magical's purpose in collecting
non-personally identifying information is to better understand how
Magical's visitors use its website. From time to time, Magical
may release non-personally-identifying information in the aggregate,
e.g., by publishing a report on trends in the usage of
its website.Magical also collects potential personal
information like Internet Protocol (IP) addresses for logged in users
and for users leaving comments on Magical profiles. Magical only
discloses logged in user and commenter IP addresses under the
same circumstances that it uses and discloses personal
information as described below, except that blog commenter IP
addresses and email addresses are visible and disclosed to the
administrators of the blog where the comment was left.Collection
of Personal InformationVisitors to Magical's website may
choose to interact with Magical in ways that require Magical to
gather personal information. The amount and type of information
that Magical gathers depends on the nature of the interaction. For
example, we ask visitors who sign up for an account
at www.magcl.com to provide a
username and email address. Those who engage in transactions with
Magical may be asked to provide additional information,
including as necessary the personal information required to
process those transactions.
In each case, Magical collects such information only insofar as is
necessary or appropriate to fulfil the purpose of the visitor's
interaction with Magical and in order for Magical to carry out its
business activities and functions. If you feel that the information
we are requesting, either on our forms or on our website, is not
information that you wish to provide, please feel free to raise this
with us.
If Magical receives unsolicited personal information about you that we
could not have collected in accordance with this Privacy Policy and
the Privacy Act, we will within a reasonable period, destroy or
de-identify such information received.
You may access any of Magical's services or the website on an anonymous
basis or by using a pseudonym. However, we will require you to
identify yourself if:
- we are required by law to do so; or
- it is impracticable for us to deal with you if you do not identify
yourself or elect to use a pseudonym.
Please be aware that your choice to be anonymous or to use a pseudonym may
affect our ability to provide you with the requested services or
certain website-related activities.
Aggregated Statistics
Magical may collect statistics about the behaviour
of visitors to its websites. For instance, Magical may monitor the
most popular profiles on the www.magical.com
site. Magical may display this information publicly or provide
it to others. However, Magical does not disclose personal information
other than as described in this Privacy Policy.Use and
disclosure of Personal InformationMagical may disclose
personal information to its employees, contractors and affiliated
organizations that:
(i)
need to know that information in order to process it on Magical's
behalf or to provide services available at www.magical.com;
and
(ii)
have agreed not to disclose it to others.
Magical will otherwise only use and disclose your personal information:
(i) if we get your consent;
(ii) for purposes which are related to the purposes for which the

overseas. It is not practicable for us to specify the countries in
which overseas recipients of personal information are located. By
using Magical's website, you consent to the transfer of such
information to them.
Direct marketing
Magical will not rent or sell your personal information to anyone.
If you are a registered user of an Magical website and have
supplied your email address, Magical may occasionally send you an
email to tell you about new features, solicit your feedback, or
just keep you up to date with what's going on with Magical and our
products. We primarily use our various product blogs to
communicate this type of information, so we expect to keep this type
of email to a minimum.
If you send us a request (for example via a support email or via
one of our feedback mechanisms), we reserve the right to publish it
in order to help us clarify or respond to your request or to
help us support other users.
Magical will otherwise only use or disclose your personal information for the
purposes of direct marketing if:
- we collected the information from you;
- it is reasonable in the circumstances to expect that we would use or
disclose the information for direct marketing purposes; and
- we provide you with a simply means to ‘opt-out' of direct marketing
communications from us.
Access to and correction of Personal Information
You have a right to access your personal information by Magical, except if:
- we reasonably believe that giving access would pose a serious threat to the life,
health or safety of any individual, or to public health or public
safety;
- giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other
individuals;
- the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
- the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between you and
us and would not ordinarily be accessible by the discovery process
in such proceedings;
- giving access would reveal our intentions in relation to negotiations with you in
a way that would prejudice those negotiations;
- giving access would be unlawful;
- denying access is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a
court/tribunal order;
- we have reason to suspect that unlawful activity, or misconduct of a serious nature
relating to our functions or activities has been, is being or may be
engaged in and giving access would be likely to prejudice the taking
of appropriate action in relation to the matter;
- giving access would be likely to prejudice one or more enforcement related
activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body; or
- giving access would reveal internal evaluative information in connection with a
commercially sensitive decision-making process.
Magical will also take reasonable steps to correct personal information to
ensure that, having regard to the purpose for which it is held, it is
accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading if:
- we are satisfied the information is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete,
irrelevant or misleading, having regard to a purpose for which it is
held; or
- you request us to correct the information.
If you make a request for access to or correction of personal
information, Magical will:
- respond to your request within a reasonable period; and
- if reasonable and practicable, give access to or correct the information in the
manner requested.
If Magical refuses to give access to the personal information because of
an exception or in the manner requested by you, we will give you a
written notice that sets out at a minimum:
- our reasons for the refusal (to the extent it is reasonable to do so); and
- the mechanisms available to complain about the refusal.
If Magical refuses a request to correct personal information, we will:
- give you a written notice setting out the reasons for the refusal and how you
may make a complaint; and
- take reasonable steps to associate a statement with personal information it refuses
to correct;
Magical reserves the right to charge you reasonable expenses for providing
access or making a correction to personal information, for example, a
fee for photocopying any information requested by you.
Integrity of your Personal Information
Magical will take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information
that we collect, hold, use or disclose is accurate, up to date and
complete.
Magical takes all measures reasonably necessary to protect personal
information against the unauthorized access, use, interference,
alteration or destruction.
Magical will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal
information that we hold if we no longer need the information for the
primary purpose for which the information was collected and we are
not otherwise required by law to retain the information.
