Privacy policy

This policy explains the privacy practices of Plunko Bounce (“Plunko Bounce“, together “we“, “us“, and “our“) with respect to https://plunkobounce.fun (“Website”) and other goods and services provided by Plunko Bounce (“Services”). This policy does not apply to the practices of third parties or any of our users who may collect or receive data in connection with their use of the Services.

This policy demonstrates our commitment to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”) and the Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs”) as well as the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”) to the extent we offer Services or monitor the activity of individuals in the European Union and California in the USA.

We process your personal information to run our business and provide the Services. By accepting our Terms of Service and in some jurisdictions, by acknowledging this policy, you agree that you have read and understand this policy, including how and why we use your information. If you do not want us to collect or process your personal information in the ways described in this policy, you should not use the Services.

By using the Services, you acknowledge that Plunko Bounce will use your information in the United States, Australia and any other country where Plunko Bounce operates. Please be aware that the privacy laws and standards in certain countries, including the rights of authorities to access your personal information, may differ from those that apply in the country in which you reside. We will transfer personal information only to those countries to which we are permitted by law to transfer personal information as more fully described below.

  1. How we collect personal information.

In the course of providing Services to you, we collect or receive your personal information directly from you, for example, during request; indirectly from you based on your activity and interaction with our Services, or from the device or browser you use to access the Services; from our vendors and suppliers that help provide services you may interact with and from our third party advertising and marketing partners. Often, you choose what information to provide, but sometimes we require certain information to provide you the with Services. Plunko Bounce uses the personal information it receives and collects in accordance with the purposes described in this policy.

To use our Services, you will need to enter a valid email address. You need to provide this information to enable us to provide you with the Services. Additional information, such as billing and payment information (including billing contact Plunko Bounce, address, telephone number, credit card information), a telephone number, and/or a physical postal address, may be necessary in order for us to provide a particular service. As an Plunko Bounce seller, we may require your full Plunko Bounce, identification ID or tax ID, date of birth, bank account information, photograph, credit card information, and/or other proof of identification in order to verify your identity, provide this service to you, and comply with applicable law.

For both buyers and sellers, Plunko Bounce requires this information from you in order to provide you with the Services (including, to verify ownership of an account, to mitigate fraud and abuse, to comply with regulatory obligations, or to facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers). We may store credit card information for both billing and payment purposes. If you are an Plunko Bounce buyer, you may be asked to pre-authenticate your payment method prior to placing a bid.

Plunko Bounce automatically receives and records information from your browser or your mobile device when you visit the Website, or use certain features of the Services, such as your IP address or unique device identifier, cookies, and data about which pages you visit and how you interact with those pages in order to allow us to operate and provide the Services. This information is stored in log files and is collected automatically. We may combine this information from your browser or your mobile device with other information that we or our advertising or marketing partners collect about you, including across devices. This information is used to prevent fraud and to keep the Services secure, to analyse and understand how the Services work for registered users and visitors, and to provide advertising, including across your devices, and a more personalised experience for registered users and visitors.

  1. How we use, share and disclose information

Plunko Bounce will not disclose your Plunko Bounce, email address or other personal information to third parties without your consent, except as specified in this policy. We or our sellers may advertise our Services or our sellers’ listings through a variety of different mediums and rely on your consent to do so off-site.

Legal bases

When you access or use the Services, we collect, use, share, and otherwise process your personal information for the purposes described in this policy. We rely on a number of legal bases to use your information in these ways. These legal bases include where:
necessary to perform the contractual obligations in our Terms of Service and in order to provide the Services to you;
you have consented to the processing, which you can revoke at any time;
necessary to comply with a legal or regulatory obligation, a court order, or to exercise or defend any impending or asserted legal claims;
necessary for the purposes of our or a third party’s legitimate interests, such as those of visitors, registered users, or partners (described in more detail below);
you have expressly made the information public;
necessary in the public interest, such as to prevent crime; and
occasionally necessary to protect your vital interests or those of others (in rare cases where we may need to share information to prevent loss of life or personal injury).

Our legitimate interests

We principally rely on consent (which can be withdrawn at anytime) (i) to send messages, (ii) for third-party data sharing related to advertising, and, to the extent applicable, (iii) for the use of location data for advertising purposes.

Where we process your information on the basis of legitimate interests, we do so as follows:

To provide and improve our Services

We use your information for the legitimate purpose of improving and customising our Services for users, including sharing your information for such purposes. This is also necessary to enable us to pursue our legitimate interests in understanding how our Services are being used, and to explore ways to develop and grow our business. It is also necessary to allow us to pursue our legitimate interests in improving our Services, efficiency and gaining insights into usage patterns of our Services. We have a legitimate interest in customising your on-site experience to help you search for and discover relevant assets and recommended assets, including using this information to help sellers find the best ways to market and sell their assets on Plunko Bounce.

For safety and security of Services

We use your information for safety and security purposes, which can include sharing your information for such purposes, and we do so because it is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests or those of a third party in ensuring the security of our Services, preventing harm to individuals or property, or crime, enforcing or defending legal rights, or preventing damage to Plunko Bounce’s systems, or those of our users or our partners. This includes enhancing protection of our community against spam, harassment, intellectual property infringement, crime, and security risks of all kinds. We use your information to provide and improve the Services, for billing and payments, for identification and authentication, and for general research and aggregate reporting. For example, we may use information you provide to resolve disputes with Plunko Bounce or other users.

To facilitate the sales process

As part of the buying and selling process, Plunko Bounce will facilitate the sharing of information between the two users involved in the transaction. This can also involve us sharing your information with some of our third-party partners to enable us to provide the Services to you. Such partners will process your personal information in accordance with their own privacy policies. In some instances, while they are subject to Plunko Bounce’s privacy and security requirements, these partners, not Plunko Bounce, are responsible for the protection of personal information under their control. By making a sale or a purchase on Plunko Bounce, you are directing us to share your information in this way. Since this is an important part of the Services we provide, we need to do this in order to perform our obligations under our Terms of Service. We expect you to respect the privacy of the user whose information you have received. As described in our Terms of Service you have a limited license to use that information only for Plunko Bounce-related communications or for Plunko Bounce-facilitated transactions. Plunko Bounce has not granted a license to you to use the information for unauthorised transactions or sending unsolicited commercial messages in violation of any applicable laws, including any consent requirements of the jurisdiction of the recipient.

For legal and security reasons

Plunko Bounce may also retain, preserve, or release your personal information to a third party in the following limited circumstances: in response to lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet legitimate national security or law enforcement requirements; to protect, establish, or exercise our legal rights or defend against impending or asserted legal claims, including to collect a debt, or a material violation of our policies; to comply with a subpoena, court order, legal process, regulation, or other legal requirement; or when we believe in good faith that such disclosure is reasonably necessary to comply with the law, prevent imminent physical harm or financial loss, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, threats to our rights or property, or violations of our Terms of Service.

If Plunko Bounce receives a lawful, verified request for a user’s records or information in one of the limited circumstances described in the previous paragraph, Plunko Bounce may disclose personal information, which may include, but may not be limited to, a users’ Plunko Bounce, address, phone number, email address, company/trading Plunko Bounce and, where appropriate, bank account and transaction details.

For our service providers

Plunko Bounce also needs to engage third-party companies and individuals (such as research companies, and analytics and security providers) to help us operate, provide, and market the Services. These third parties have only limited access to your information, may use your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf, and are obligated to Plunko Bounce not to disclose or use your information for other purposes. Our engagement of service providers is often necessary for us to provide the Services to you, particularly where such companies play important roles like helping us keep our Service operating and secure. In some other cases, these service providers aren’t strictly necessary for us to provide the Services, but help us make it better, like by helping us conduct research into how we could better serve our users. In these latter cases, we have a legitimate interest in working with service providers to make our Services better.

In the event of a restructure

In some cases, Plunko Bounce may choose to buy or sell assets. Such transactions may be necessary and in our legitimate interests, particularly our interest in making decisions that enable our business to develop over the long term. In these types of transactions (such as a sale, merger, liquidation, receivership, or transfer of all or substantially all of Plunko Bounce’s assets), user information is typically one of the business assets that is transferred. If Plunko Bounce intends to transfer information about you, Plunko Bounce will notify you by email or by putting a prominent notice on the Website, and you will be afforded an opportunity to opt out before information about you becomes subject to a different privacy policy.

  1. How we transfer personal information

The United States, European Economic Area (“EEA”) Member States, and other countries all have different laws. When your information is moved from your home country to another country, the laws and rules that protect your personal information in the country to which your information is transferred may be different from those in the country in which you live. For example, the circumstances in which law enforcement can access personal information may vary from country to country. To the extent that Plunko Bounce is deemed to transfer personal information outside of the EEA, this is necessary to allow us to deliver our Services to you as we provide a global service. As we operate in countries worldwide and use technical infrastructure in Australia, we need to transfer your personal information to Australia to other jurisdictions as necessary to provide the Services. The European Commission has adopted standard contractual clauses (also known as Model Clauses), which provide safeguards for personal information that is transferred outside of Europe. We often use these Model Clauses when transferring personal information outside of Europe. Plunko Bounce does not participate in Privacy Shield at this time.

  1. Security of personal information

We follow generally accepted industry standards to protect the personal information submitted to us, both during transmission and after it is received, for example encryption is used for certain information (such as credit card numbers) using TLS (transport layer security). Unfortunately, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to protect your personal information, we can’t guarantee its absolute security. Your account information is protected by a password. It is important that you protect against unauthorised access to your account and information by choosing your password carefully and by keeping your password and computer secure, such as by signing out after using the Services. If you have any questions about the security of your personal information, you can contact us at MAIL.

  1. Your rights

Certain privacy laws around the world, including the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), provide users with rights related to their personal information. If you need further assistance, you can contact Plunko Bounce through one of the channels listed below under “Contact.” We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe.

Additional Disclosures for California Residents

In addition to the Rights & Choices described above, the CCPA requires disclosure of the categories of personal information collected over the past 12 months. While this information is provided in greater detail in the sections above, the categories of personal information that we have collected – as described by the CCPA – are:

Identifiers, including Plunko Bounce, email address, shop Plunko Bounce, IP address, and an ID or number assigned to your account.
Other individual records such as phone number, billing address, or credit or debit card information. This category includes personal information protected under pre-existing California law (Cal. Civ. Code 1798.80(e)), and overlaps with other categories listed here.
Commercial information, including purchases and engagement with the Services.
Internet activity, including your interactions with our Services and what led you to our Services.
Sensory visual data, such as pictures posted on our Website.
Geolocation data provided through location enabled services such as WiFi and GPS.
Inferences, including information about your interests, preferences and favourites.
We collect and use these categories of personal information for our business and commercial purposes described in the above sections, including providing and improving the Services, maintaining the safety and security of the Services, processing purchase and sale transactions, and for advertising and marketing services.

Plunko Bounce does not sell personal information to third parties for monetary value. However, the term “sale” is defined broadly under the California Consumer Privacy Act. To the extent that “sale” under the CCPA is interpreted to include interest based advertising or other data uses described in the sections above, we will comply with applicable law as to those activities.

If you have a disability and would like to access this policy in an alternative format, please contact us using one of the channels listed in the “Contact” section.

We may amend or update this policy from time to time. If we believe that the changes are material, we’ll let you know by doing one (or more) of the following: (i) posting the changes on or through the Services or sending you an email or message about the changes. We encourage you to check back regularly and review any updates.
