4.1 How we share your information

In order to deliver to you the services requested and for us to meet our obligations we may from time to time share your information with others as describe below.

Related companies: As a global company we have a number of corporate entities. We may need to share your information among these related companies. We will do so only to support your use of our products.

Service partners: You may request products that require us to direct you to third party providers such as cyber safety experts and providers of technology and equipment. If so, we will need to share relevant information with them. We try to only work with reputable organisations and when we partner with them, we require them to have privacy policies reasonably in line with ours. We cannot however be responsible for their information handling practices.

Operational service providers: We work with third-party service providers to provide website and application development, hosting, maintenance, backup, storage, virtual infrastructure, payment processing, analysis customer, technical and sales support services. If a service provider needs to access information about you to perform services on our behalf, they do so under instruction from us, including abiding by policies and procedures designed to protect your information.

Resellers: We provide our products through third party resellers such as telecommunications companies and technology vendors. If you have purchased our products through a reseller then we will exchange information with them for the purpose of setting up your account, billing you and other operational purposes.

App stores: Where you acquire or download our products from app stores (e.g. Google Play, Google Web Store or Apple App Store) we will exchange limited information with them to support the app, extension or application’s installation, update, support and operation. You will be required to agree terms including privacy terms with the relevant store or marketplace owner. The information you share with them is governed by their privacy policies, not ours.

Schools & parents: Where both a parent (account holder) and a school (account holder) opt-in then we will share limited information between them with respect to relevant students. What information and how we share it is set out below in SCHOOLS.

Hot-spots: When end-users connect to our networking products (e.g., access points, network gateways) an authentication process will be triggered. Device and/or authorization tokens/certificates or a sign-in will allow our products to identify an end-user (where possible). This is fundamental for the operation of our products. Once registered, devices can be recognized by participating network gateways. We may share your end-users masked names (first name and first initial of last name) and device identification information where they connect to participating networks.

Shared end-users: Should you request to share cyber safety control of an end-user with another account holder then we will disclose your name to that other party. This is required to assist them to judge whether your request should be granted.

Specific consent: We share information about you with third parties when you give us specific consent to do so. For example, testimonials.

Forums: If you choose to participate in a forum or comment in a blog or wiki provided by us, then the membership of the relevant resource will have access to your submissions. If the resource is public then your submissions will be public.

satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request;

detect, prevent, or otherwise address illegal or suspected illegal activities, security or technical issues; or
protect against harm to the rights, property or safety of us, our users or the public as required or permitted by law.

You will be notified via email and/or a prominent notice if such an event takes place, as well as any choices you may have regarding your information.

5.1 Information Storage

We use reputable data hosting service providers to host the information we collect, and we use technical measures to secure your data.

While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is absolutely safe from intrusion by others. We will respond to requests about this within a reasonable timeframe.

5.2 International Privacy

We are a global provider. We seek to store data in the country associated with it. We call this “regionalization”. Where possible we will regionalize the data we collect in relation to you or your End-users however this will not always be possible.

Accordingly, we may transfer, process and store some of your information outside of your country of residence. We will only do so for the purpose of providing you products. Whenever we transfer your information, we will take steps to protect it and we will capture, store and deal with it in accordance with this policy.

Some of the third parties described in this policy, which provide services to us under contract, are based in countries other than yours. These other countries may not have equivalent privacy and data protection laws to the country in which you reside. Where international third parties are in possession of your information, we will take reasonable steps to ensure they use and manage it in a manner consistent with this policy.

5.3 Our Security Procedures

We take information security seriously and have implemented a security program including administrative, technical, physical and managerial measures that is reasonably designed to protect the information we collect from loss, misuse and unauthorized access or disclosure. For example:

We utilize Secure Sockets Layering to encrypt communication between us.
We do not store your payment information. Instead we use a third PCI-DSS compliant party payment provider.
We require you to provide a unique username and set a password and other security measures from time to time such as PINs.
We hold passwords encrypted and cannot re-issue these (instead you must enter a new one).
Where reasonable we pseudonymize your information, and in particular End-user records.

5.4 Your Security Procedures

We urge you to be diligent in securing your computing networks, devices, usernames and passwords. Should other parties obtain access to these or guess them (because they are too simple) then your information may be compromised.

For convenience we make certain technologies available to you to make it easier to log in to your account or be authenticated to access the network or internet. For example, cookies, remember-me and single-sign-on type technologies. If you use these technologies, then we urge you to use device PINs and to log off your device when you’re not using it.

If you intend to sell or return a device which you have used with us you should remove our application/s, log-out and clear the cache, all browsing information and cookies before doing so.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account access information and for restricting access to your computer or device through which an account is accessed.

5.5 How Long We Keep Information

We retain information to provide you with the services and features you have requested and to support the ongoing improvement of our products. We take steps to secure and obfuscate your identity and once it is no longer needed, to de-identify your information or delete it.

How long we keep information depends on the type of information collected.

We will keep information relating to you and your end-users for as long as it remains necessary for its identified purpose or as required by law, which may extend beyond the termination of our relationship with you. We retain de-identified information for as long as we consider necessary for our business purposes.
On cancellation of your account we will not automatically delete or de-identify the information we hold relating to you or your end-users. We need to retain some of your account information to comply with our legal obligations such as ensuring we’re capable of resolving disputes, enforcing our agreements and collecting outstanding payments.
There is some information we hold on you which for legal and legitimate business reasons, we will not be able to delete, even if you request us to do so. For example, under taxation laws we need to maintain a record of your account and the financial transactions we’ve completed. We have obligations to retain information to ensure we’re capable of resolving disputes, enforcing our agreements and collecting outstanding payments.
When we delete information, it may continue to be stored in backup archives. We will securely store such information and isolate it from any further use until deletion or de-identification is possible.
If an End-user associated with your account is also an End-user in another account (e.g. a shared parenting arrangement or school student account) then deletion in your account will not automatically delete them in the other account.
Our standard policy is to store Cyber Safety Data for 30 days on personal accounts and 12 months for school & business accounts. After that time related records are aggregated and anonymized. We may offer you the option to extend this storage period.
For the purpose of quality assurance, or due to technical limitations we may capture temporal Cyber Safety Data even when end-users have set by you to be “not tracked”. We will however purge such data as soon as practical.
If you acquired our services through a reseller, cancellation of your account with us and requests for us to remove records of you will not automatically remove records of you in the reseller’s platforms. This is because you were a customer of theirs.
If you have elected to receive marketing emails from us, we retain information about your marketing preferences unless you specifically ask us to delete such information. We retain information derived from cookies and other tracking technologies for a reasonable period of time, from the date such information was created.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Personally Identifiable Information stored by us, relating to End-users under the age of 18 will be deleted in all cases (to the extent that it is reasonably and commercially possible to do so) when it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected.

You have a range of options available to you when it comes to your information. Below is a summary of those choices. Where you request action from us, we will respond within a reasonable timeframe.

Account information: You can access and modify the information in your account.
Delete End-users: You can delete End-users from your account. Please note if the End-user is also in another account (e.g. a shared parenting arrangement or school student account) then deletion will automatically delete them in both accounts.
Delete Avatars: You can delete end-user avatars from the product you loaded it into.
Request that we stop using your information: In some cases, you may ask us to stop accessing, storing, using and otherwise processing your information where you believe we don't have the appropriate rights to do so. For example, if you believe an account was created for you without your permission or you are no longer an active user, you can request that we delete your account as provided in this policy. Where you gave us consent to use your information for a limited purpose, you can contact us to withdraw that consent, but this will not affect any processing that has already taken place at the time. When you make such requests, we may need time to investigate and facilitate your request. If there is a delay or dispute as to whether we have the right to continue using your information, we will restrict any further use of your information until the request is honored or the dispute is resolved.
Opt out of communications: You may opt out of receiving third party promotional communications from us in your account.

Turn off Cookie Controls: Relevant browser-based cookie controls are described in our Cookies & Tracking Notice.
Send "Do Not Track" Signals: Some browsers have incorporated "Do Not Track" (DNT) features that can send a signal to the websites you visit indicating you do not wish to be tracked. Because there is not yet a common understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, our Services do not currently respond to browser DNT signals. You can use the range of other tools we provide to control data collection and use, including the ability to opt out of receiving marketing from us as described above.
Set End-users to “Do Not Track”: We offer you the ability to disable tracking of some Cyber Safety Data in your account.
Data portability: Data portability is the ability to obtain some of your information in a format you can move from one service provider to another (for instance, when you transfer your mobile phone number to another carrier).

Requesting a copy of your information: You may request a copy of information we hold on you. We will provide you with basic account level information without charge, Additional information may incur a reasonable charge. It may not be practical or proper to provide you some information (for example if fulfilling a request would reveal information about or owned by another party).
Requesting deletion of your information: You may request a deletion of information we hold on you. We will delete information where is proper and practical to do so.

We are committed to transparency with respect to serious data breaches.

The following information is provided for law enforcement entities seeking information about our account holders and End-users.

All law enforcement requests for information should:

Be directed to us at legal@family zone.com;
Be written in English;

Include all relevant identifiers to permit us to search our records;
State specifically what information is being requested, why it’s being requested and how it pertains to the investigation; and
State the applicable act, law or ruling under which the law enforcement agency is requesting the data.

In the event of an emergency involving the danger of death or serious physical injury to a person please ensure the subject is: Emergency Disclosure Request.

We will respond to valid, properly served legal processes to the extent required by law.

It is our policy to use commercially reasonable efforts to notify affected account holders when we receive legal process requests for user data. Generally, except where a court order (and not just the request for information itself) requires delayed notification or no notification, or except where notification is otherwise prohibited by law or where we, in our sole discretion, believe that providing notice would be futile, ineffective or would create a risk of injury or bodily harm to an individual or group, or to our property, we will endeavour to provide reasonable prior notice to the relevant user of the request for user data in the event the user wishes to seek appropriate protective relief.

Submissions via an End-user

The following relates to situations where an End-user discloses to us information through a contact or feedback form and which indicates an incident or an intention to cause harm to themselves or others (a “Disclosure of Harm”).

For the purpose of clarity:

We do not provide mental health, crisis, counselling, or support services. Where we receive a Disclosure of Harm, we will take reasonable steps as lay persons only; and
Where a Disclosure of Harm is indicative of serious threat to life, health or safety of an individual then we reserve our rights to disclose such information to relevant authorities, schools and parents/guardians, subject to our obligations under relevant privacy legislation.

Disclosures of imminent and serious threat to life, health or safety

Where an End-user discloses to us an Imminent and serious threat to life, health or safety then we will:

Seek to provide the End-user with details of relevant support services;
Make reasonable steps to identify the End-user, their School and their Parents (or guardians);
Make reasonable steps to contact the End-user’s School and Parents (or guardians); and
Contact the local police and request a welfare check.

In this context Imminent means a Disclosure of Harm indicative of a Foreseeable risk which requires immediate action, as inaction is likely to result in harmful activities and Foreseeable means a future risk which can be reasonably predicted based upon a result of inferred actions, occurring as a result from a disclosure which indicates a method of harm, or a specified time, date, time-frame or location of harmful act.

Other disclosures of threats to life, health or safety

Where an End-user otherwise discloses to us a serious threat to life, health or safety then we will:

Seek to provide the End-user with details of relevant support services;
Make reasonable steps to identify the End-user, their School and their Parents (or guardians); and
Make reasonable steps to contact the End-user’s School and Parents (or guardians).

Indications based on End-user activity

We may offer you features of our products which monitor End-user activity for the purpose of identifying risky behaviour (“Behavioural Insights”). Such features may identify behaviour indicative of self-harm.

We do not promise that these Behavioural Insights are complete or accurate. We do not promise to monitor them or escalate issues to you or relevant authorities.

This notice is directed at End-users of our Products.

End-users are registered to account holders. You may have a primary account holder e.g. your parent or employer.

Customer Detail & Security

We use HTTPS for all incoming/outgoing data transfer
Our User Interface only provides access to this data to Zone (ie network) Owners and CSRs/Admins.
Our cloud servers are hosted by Amazon and we engage leading provider Conexim to manage the services and security.
We apply all industry security standards. All servers are firewalled and require security certificates and strong passwords. There is no direct or password only access to production servers.

We use HTTPS for all incoming/outgoing data transfer
User's names are masked when displayed in Zones other than their parent's.
We hold no personal or contact information on users (excluding parents). So we don’t know kid's emails, phone numbers or the like.
Addresses are captured and stored by us only when customers order Boxes. We plan to purge this data periodically.
Our cloud servers are hosted by Amazon and we engage leading provider Conexim to manage the services and security.
We apply all industry security standards. All servers are firewalled and require security certificates and strong passwords. There is no direct or password only access to production servers.

No. The only data the App needs is device identifiers eg MAC, IMEI, UID and App IDs (ie the codes of the apps installed on the device).
We absolutely do not access photos, contacts, messages etc.
Further, the App and its functions are disclosed to the user. It is not spyware.

All communication between the App and our MDM server is ssl encrypted. MDM services are firewalled and access to them requires a unique certificate plus a strong password.

All staff and contractors are required to sign confidentiality agreements.
Typical controls around password and systems access are used.
Non-production environment data is anonymised and are copies encrypted.
Production and non-production environments are on different networks.

We believe we are. The key issues for regulators appear to be around ensuring consent is obtained from parents/guardians before personal/identifiable information on minors is collected/processed.
We absolutely obtain consent from parents before we sign up users. Further, where we can't identify a device's owner (ie guest devices) we anonymize the guest record ie it does not persist across the family zone.
Also, we do not collect contact or personal information on any user (except parents). We don't know kid's emails, mobile numbers and we don't access personal data stored on mobile devices (eg pictures, messages, emails etc).
And we specifically do not capture or store credit card info or "sensitive" information.

With respect to highly publicized hacks the circumstances of each are different. However hacks and leaks are often the result of “inside jobs” or end user failures (such as weak passwords) and less often due to inadequately secured access to databases or systems.

Having said that, we take matters of security and privacy extremely seriously. Our approach to managing these risks include:

We do not store personal information with respect to users (ie kids). We do not access or store their contact details, or on-device data such as messages, pictures etc;
We obfuscate and encrypt personal information where appropriate to protect privacy;
Our end user technologies do not access personal information and operate with industry standard security technologies;
We take preventative steps to ensure our data and IT services are protected as per industry standards and best practices;
We utilize the services of reputable organizations and ensure all parties with access to our data are subject to strong confidentiality agreements and we monitor and routinely test our practices.
