This Privacy Policy includes important information about how Codestax Pty Ltd handles Personal Data and we encourage you to read it carefully.
Last updated: September 1, 2024
CodeStax and its related bodies corporate (CodeStax, we, our, us) recognize the importance of protecting the privacy and the rights of individuals in relation to their personal information. This document is our privacy policy and it tells you how we collect, manage, and disclose your personal information.
When used in this privacy policy, the term “personal information” has the meaning given to it in Australia’s Privacy Act 1988 (the Privacy Act) and Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR). In general terms, it is any information that can be used to personally identify you. This may include your name, address, telephone number, email address, and profession or occupation. If the information we collect personally identifies you, or you are reasonably identifiable from it, the information will be considered personal information.
To the extent legally permissible in your jurisdiction, we may collect the following types of personal information:
We do not ordinarily collect sensitive information as defined in the Privacy Act or the GDPR. We may also collect some information that is not personal information because it does not identify you or anyone else. For example, we may collect anonymous answers to surveys or aggregated information about how users use our website.
To the extent legally permissible in your jurisdiction, CodeStax collects personal information in a number of ways, including:
To the extent legally permissible in your jurisdiction, we collect, hold, use, and disclose your personal information for purposes including to:
To the extent legally permissible in your jurisdiction, we also collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information to promote and market to you other services that we consider may be of interest to you, including through direct marketing and targeted online advertising. To the extent this is legally permissible in your jurisdiction, you consent to receive such marketing communications by using our products, services, or website, or by providing us with your personal information. We will provide you with an opportunity to unsubscribe from any future promotional or marketing material (such as promotional email offers) and educational material via an opt-out mechanism. You may also notify us at any time that you do not wish to receive marketing or promotional material by advising the Codestax Privacy Officer at the contact details set out below under “Your rights.”
Cookies are small files which are stored on a user’s computer. They are designed to hold a modest amount of data specific to a particular client and website, and can be accessed either by the web server or the client computer.
We use cookies to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future. We may contract third-party service providers to assist us in better understanding our site visitors. These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.
We also use re-marketing tools such as Google Adwords and Analytics to display content-specific advertisements to visitors who have previously visited our site when those visitors go to other websites that have implemented the Google Display Network.
Codestax and other third-party vendors, including Google, use first-party cookies (such as the Google Analytics cookie) and third-party cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) together to inform, optimize, and serve ads based on visitors’ past visits to our website.
To opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s consumer opt-out page.
All About Cookies has instructions for how to manage your cookie settings.
For the purposes set out above (under “How do we use your personal information”) we may disclose your personal information to organizations or persons outside Codestax, to the extent this is legally permissible in your jurisdiction. If we need to disclose your personal information for any other purpose, we will only do so with your consent or—if this is legally permissible in your jurisdiction—where you may otherwise reasonably expect us to do so.
Where appropriate, these disclosures are subject to privacy and confidentiality protections and—as the case may be—other requirements under the GDPR. The organizations and persons to which we usually disclose information include:
Some of these organizations or persons may be located in other countries. The countries in which these organizations or persons are located will vary, but, in the course of our ordinary operations, we generally disclose personal information to organizations or persons located in Australia, the United States of America and the United Kingdom.
We keep your personal information secure by implementing physical and electronic security systems, limiting who can access your personal information, and training our staff to keep your information safe and secure. We also have online and network security systems in place so that the information you provide us with is protected and secure.
Under the Privacy Act and subject to its terms, you are entitled to:
Under the Privacy Act and subject to its terms, you are entitled to:

If you do make a complaint or allege a breach, Codestax will investigate your complaint and use reasonable endeavours to respond to you in writing within 28 days of receiving the written complaint. If we fail to respond to your complaint within 28 days of receiving it in writing, or if you are dissatisfied with the response that you receive from us, you have the right, depending on the jurisdiction, to make a complaint to the applicable regulator. In the case of the Privacy Act, the applicable regulator is the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner. In the case of the GDPR, the applicable regulator will be the local regulator in your jurisdiction in Europe.
We operate in a dynamic business and technological environment. Over time, aspects of our business or technology may change as we respond to changing market and technological conditions. This may require our policies to be reviewed and revised. We reserve the right to change this privacy policy at any time and to notify you by posting an updated version of the policy on our website. If at any point we decide to use personal information in a manner materially different from that stated at the time it was collected, we will notify users by email or via a prominent notice on our website and, where necessary, we will seek the prior consent of our users.
On the 25th of May 2018 The European Union (EU) will implement a new set of laws designed to strengthen the privacy rights of EU citizens called the General Data Protection Regulation. These new laws affect how EU citizen’s personal data is collected, processed and used, no matter where a business or organization is located. They have been created in response to the increasing globalization of business, international flows of personal data, and the rapid advancements of the technologies that make these flows possible.
