we take your privacy seriously

phudl.r connects hosts and their guests!

a phudl is an event, whatever you want it to be, and of course, people are involved!  phudl.r allows hosts and their guests (phudl.rs) to experience the journey to the phudl together, providing the host with the information they need to make sure everything is prepared and ready to go, pending the arrivals.

phudl.r is committed to providing quality services and this policy outlines our ongoing obligations to you in respect of how we manage your Personal Information.


we have adopted the australian privacy principles (APPs) contained in the privacy act 1988 (Cth) (the privacy act). The APPs govern the way in which we collect, use, disclose, store, secure and dispose of your personal information.

a copy of the australian privacy principles may be obtained from the website of the office of the australian information commissioner at https://www.oaic.gov.au/.

what is personal information and why do we collect it?

personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual.  examples of personal information we collect include:

mobile phone number

used for out-of-app communication and account verification.

email address

used for out-of-app communication and account verification.

nickname

the person (or people) who have been invited by the host to attend the phudl.

avatar

phudl.rs are able to choose (or upload) an image to act as their "in-app" visage.  this can be removed or changed as desired.

location

phudl.r tracks the location of hosts and their guests.  this tracking is for a limited time immediately prior to the phudl commencing and may extend for a short period after the phudl has begun.  only the most recent location update is held by phudl.r.  historical locations are not recorded.  All phudl.rs may opt out of having their location watched.  once a phudl is complete, all tracking details relating to that phudl are removed.  when permitted by the user, phudl.r collects the location while the app is running as well as when the app is closed or not in use.  this enables ideal interaction between hosts and guests.

phudl.r details

information relating to a guest at a specific phudl, e.g. dietary requirements, will be kept against the phudl until that event is complete.  a guest can choose to share these with a host on a semi-permanent basis.  a guest can at any time remove these details.


personal information is obtained at the time of registering to use the mobile phudl.r app, in the app "create account" screen.  

we collect your personal information for the primary purpose of providing our services to you, including internal marketing campaigns.  we may also use your personal information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure.  you may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists from within the profile settings of the phudl.r app.


third parties


where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your Personal Information only from you.  we do not solicit or gather Personal Information from third parties.

disclosure of personal information

your Personal Information may be disclosed in a number of circumstances including the following:

•     third parties where you consent to the use or disclosure; and

•     where required or authorised by law.

security of personal information

your personal information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.  

when your personal information is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal information.  however, most of the personal information is or will be stored in client files which will be kept by us for the life of your account with us.

access to your personal information

you may access the personal information we hold about you and update and/or correct it, as needed, from within the profile settings of the phudl.r app.

maintaining the quality of your personal information

it is important to us that your personal information is up to date.  we will take reasonable steps to make sure that your personal information is accurate and complete.  if you find that the information we have is not up to date or is inaccurate, you are able to correct or update it from within the profile settings of the phudl.r app.
