How we use
cookies
When you access

may place small data files called "cookies" on your computer.
We send a
"session cookie" to your computer when you log in to your account. This
type of cookie helps us to recognize you if you visit multiple pages on

How we protect
and store personal information
Throughout this
policy, we use the term "personal information" to describe information
that can be associated with a specific person and can be used to identify
that person. We do not consider personal information to include
information that has been anonymized so that it does not identify a
specific user.
We store and
process your personal information on our computers in Australia, and we
protect it by maintaining physical, electronic and procedural safeguards
in compliance with applicable Australian federal and state regulations. We
use computer safeguards such as firewalls and data encryption, we enforce
physical access controls to our buildings and files, and we authorize
access to personal information only for those employees who require it to
fulfill their job responsibilities.
How we use the
personal information we collect
Our primary
purpose in collecting personal information is to provide you with a safe,
smooth, efficient, and customized experience. We may use your personal
information to:

services and customer support you request;
- process
transactions and send notices about your transactions
- resolve
disputes, collect fees, and troubleshoot problems;
- prevent
potentially prohibited or illegal activities, and enforce our User
Agreement;
- customize,
measure, and improve our services and the content and layout of our
website;
- send you
targeted marketing, service update notices, and promotional offers based
on your communication preferences;

How we share
personal information with other parties
We may share your
personal information with:
- Members of our
corporate family (these are companies owned by our parent companies) to
help detect and prevent potentially illegal acts, provide joint services
and for other business purposes. However, these corporate affiliates
will not use this information to market their services to you unless you
have approved it.
- Service
providers under contract who help with parts of our business operations;
(fraud prevention, bill collection, marketing, technology services). Our
contracts dictate that these service providers only use your information
in connection with the services they perform for us and not for their
own benefit.
- Credit bureaus
to report outstanding negative balance accounts, as allowed by law.
- Companies that
we plan to merge with or be acquired by. (Should such a combination
occur, we will require that the new combined entity follow this privacy
policy with respect to your personal information. If your personal
information could be used contrary to this policy, you will receive
prior notice.)

enforcement, government officials, or other third parties when
- we are
compelled to do so by a subpoena, court order or similar legal
procedure

so to comply with law

good faith that the disclosure of personal information is necessary to
prevent physical harm or financial loss, to report suspected illegal
activity, or to investigate violations of our User Agreement.
- Other third
parties with your consent or direction to do so.
School Market
Place will not sell or rent any of your personal information to third
parties in the normal course of doing business and only shares your
personal information with third parties as described in this policy.
How you can
restrict School Market Place from sharing your personal information

laws allow you to restrict the sharing of your personal information in
