At Joii Limited ACN 621 826 051 we appreciate your use and contributions to the Joii Platform and other related websites. Joii respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.

By using the Joii Platform, subscribing to our services or entering into an agreement with us in relation to the websites, you are taken to have read and agreed to the collection, use, disclosure and handling of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time. You should review this Privacy Policy periodically so that you are updated on any changes.

2. Relevant Legislation

We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act“) (subject to exemptions that apply under that Act). We do not collect sensitive information as defined under the Act such as racial or ethnicity information, political opinions or associations, criminal records or health information.

3. What is Personal Information, why we collect personal information and how we use it

Personal Information is information or an opinion that identifies an individual. Examples of Personal Information we collect include: names, addresses, email addresses, phone and facsimile numbers.

Joii generally collects your personal information as part of providing you its products and services, informing you about them, complying with its contractual and other legal obligations, running promotions and other marketing activities or administering Joii’s relationship with you by responding to your enquiries and providing you with information about Joii events, products and services that may be of interest to you.

Joii needs your personal information to carry out these aims. Joii may use your personal information for those purposes, any other purpose listed on a collection statement at the point of collection or in any other way made clear at the time of collecting the personal information.

4. Sensitive Information

Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act to include information or opinion about such things as an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or health information.

Sensitive information will be used by us only:

• For the primary purpose for which it was obtained
• For a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose
• With your consent; or where required or authorised by law.

5. Information Sourced

5.1 Information you provide

When interacting with Joii, you may provide information about yourself, such as your name, address, phone number, email and details pertaining to a potential transaction. This may occur, for example, when we collect your information via a website, at a display home, a face to face sale discussion, an online promotion, interactive advertisement or a telephone call to us.   You may also provide information about a third party through the Joii Platform, for example, if you share a real estate listing with a recipient via email. We may combine this information with other information we collect in person by sales and customer service staff, via its websites, social media pages, smart phone applications, phone calls and at display sites and other installations on paper forms or electronic devices (Collection Channels).

Our Collection Channels may include other related parties, partners or companies or brands related to, or partnered with Joii.

5.2 Third Parties

Joii may also obtain customer or potential customer information from partners, such as Real Estate Agents, real estate brokers, finance brokers, service providers to Joii and other marketing channel partners.

In such a case we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided to us by the third party. When required, we will obtain your consent before this information is passed onto a third party.

Information collected from any source may be used for verification of identity purposes, or to populate a request, or to form a financial profile, or for other purposes that are necessary. As an example, such as when an application is made for a loan from Joii Financial Services and your information you have provided to Joii in pre-qualification for such loan is passed on to Joii Financial Services by Joii.

In addition, when you order products or services through the Joii Platform, Joii may collect your credit/debit card information. This information is secured using industry-standard encryption technology. Joii will use this information solely to complete your order and will not share this information with outside parties, except to the extent necessary to complete the order or comply with applicable law.

Your privacy is important and we are committed to protecting information that identifies you personally, where you have chosen to keep it private (“Personal Information”). We will only share Personal Information that you provide outside the public areas of the Services in the following circumstances:

1.

7. Advertising

When we deliver advertising based on data about your use of the Services, we keep your identity anonymous. We will not identify you personally to third parties, except in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Of course, if you choose to respond to an advertised offer with your name and contact information, you will no longer be anonymous to the advertiser. Further, while we do not share your Personal Information with third parties unless permitted above, Joii may share aggregate anonymous information with third parties. This information does not personally identify individuals, but rather provides a helpful understanding of the groups of people who prefer certain types of information and services.

If you do not wish to receive marketing or other communications from us, please submit a request not to receive direct marketing communications or use the unsubscribe facility provided in the most recent communication from us or contact us on the details provided.

Please note that even if you unsubscribe from certain email correspondences, we may still need to email you with important transactional or administrative information.

9. Behavioural Advertising

We may participate in behavioural advertising. This means that, for example, when you use the Services, we or third-party service providers or advertisers may use cookies (that they collect or that we provide to them) or other similar technologies to collect information about your use of the Services (including mobile applications) or your online activities over time and across different websites. Collected information may include the content you view, the date and time that you view this content, and the website that referred you to the Services, and this information may be associated with your unique browser, device identifier, or Internet Protocol address. These practices help tailor advertisements that are relevant and useful to you. These tailored advertisements may appear on the Services or on other websites, applications or properties.

In addition, if you have provided your email address to us, we may use a scrambled, unreadable form (a hash) of your email address to deliver tailored advertisements to you on the Services or on other websites, including via Facebook’s Custom Audience Feature or other similar Facebook tools. We will not share your email address with Facebook.

You may opt-out of cookie tracking and analysis as described in the section below entitled ‘Opting out of Collection of Information’. The Services do not otherwise respond to ‘do not track’ signals.

Joii can provide you with helpful information based on where a Property is located or where you would like to purchase a Property. If you share your location with Joii (e.g., by allowing your mobile device to send Joii your location), the Joii Platform may use that information to provide you with location-based information and advertising.
