KA Privacy Policy

Who are we?

The NSW Kashrut Authority Inc (ABN 40 334 602 651) trading as The Kashrut Authority (“The Kashrut Authority”, “KA”, “we”, “our”, “us”) is committed to the highest levels of customer and user service as well as protecting your privacy. We are registered and regulated by the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission. All our data and information collection and retention is bound by the Privacy Act which regulates the protection of your personal information.

By visiting our website and App, you acknowledge our Terms and Conditions and End User Licence Agreement, and you consent to our online privacy policy.

What information do we collect?

We collect information from you during the subscription process when you enter your email address. When registering a new subscription, you may be asked to enter your email-address, with your operating-system version recorded as well. These are the only two attributes from you we collect, and it's completely optional, and does not hinder the application in any way.

What do we use your information for?

Any of the information we collect from you may be used in one of the following ways:

· To personalise your experience
(your information helps us to better respond to your individual needs)

 

· To improve our application and re-design future applications
(we continually strive to improve our website offerings based on the information and feedback we receive from you)

 

· To improve the User service
(your information helps us to more effectively respond to your (The User’s) service requests and support needs)

 

· To send periodic emails

The email address you provide is used for application news and any urgent alerts.

Note: If at any time you would like to unsubscribe from receiving future emails, we include detailed unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of each email. You will continue to receive our emails, our partners’ emails and relevant material, including promotional material, unless you follow the unsubscribe instructions and link at the bottom of each email.

You may delete the application at any time.

Please note that unless you have specifically given us your personal information, we only collect device information to identify your device, as opposed to you individually. You will therefore need to opt out each device you use if you wish that device to be opted out of our service.


Do we disclose any information to outside parties?

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. We may release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our app policies, or protect our or others rights, property, or safety.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

If we decide to change our privacy policy, we will send an email notifying you of any changes.
