Use of Your Personal Information
Why we use your personal information: The main reason we use your personal information is to help us curate wise crowds and provide wise answers to the questions that users ask. Your personal information helps us do this and benefits other users of our Services.
We use your personal information generally to provide the Services and for purposes which are connected to providing the Services. Such purposes include:
doing business with you so that you can access and purchase the Services;
effectively communicating with you;
operating and improving the Services;
providing customer service;
performing research and analysis aimed at improving our Services;
displaying content that is customised to your interests and preferences; and
obtaining the services of analytics and search engine providers
.
Interactions with other users: Our collection and use of your personal information will, depending on your subscription level, allow you to interact with other users of the Services, share your expertise, answer questions asked by other users and examine the depth and details of the decisions you have made.
Targeted marketing: We may use your personal information and other information we have obtained about you and your interaction with other users, to provide you with the information about other products or services that might interest you. If you are a paid subscriber of our Services, you will be able to turn off targeted marketing.
Aggregated information: You consent to us aggregating your information with the information of other users of the Services to share with users to assist them to make decisions or purchase goods or services that are best suited to them.
Sharing of Your Personal Information
No dealing with information: We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information to or with any third parties.
Service providers: You consent to us sharing your personal information with external service providers who provide services on us. For example, we may hire other businesses to handle the processing of payments, provide data storage, host websites, fulfil orders, assist in direct marketing, conduct audits, etc. We only give those businesses the personal information they need to provide the service. We will take all reasonable steps to make sure they comply with the same privacy principles that govern our collection and use of your personal information.
Required disclosure : We may disclose your personal information if required to do so by law, or in the good-faith belief that such action is reasonably necessary to comply with legal process, respond to claims, or protect the rights, property or safety of our company, employees, customers, or the public.
Security and storage of your personal information
Storage of your personal information: We will store all of your personal information on servers hosted in Australia. Some of our external service providers may be overseas. While we will do our best to make sure that overseas service providers to whom we give your personal information will comply with the same privacy principles as us, we cannot guarantee it. By giving us your personal information, you consent to the disclosure of personal information to overseas service providers who may not comply.
If the EU or UK GDPR applies: We and some of our external service providers may not be in the country where you submitted your personal information. As a result, your personal information may be transferred to countries that have different levels of data protection laws to where you are. Where local data regulations require it, we have done our best to (a) put in place security measures for the export of personal information from its country of origin; and (b) made arrangements with those receiving your personal information, that they will put security measures in place and that your personal information is processed in accordance with EU and UK data protection laws.
Security of your personal information: We follow accepted industry standards to help protect your personal information. 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 cannot guarantee its absolute security and any transmission of personal information is at your own risk.
If a password is used to protect your account and personal information, it is your responsibility to keep your password confidential and to change it if you think it has been compromised.
Your rights in relation to your personal information
Right to access: You have, subject to certain exceptions allowed for by law, the right to ask us to provide you with all of the personal information we store on you. If you would like to get access to, review or correct any of your personal information email us at info(at)wizer.life. If we have disclosed your personal information to a third party, in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we will take reasonable steps to notify the third party of the updated information.
Obtaining a copy: We can provide you with a copy of personal information held on our current records at no charge. However, we will not be obliged to provide you with a copy or give you access to your personal information if by doing so we would reveal personal information about another person.
Retention of your personal information: We will only keep your personal information for as long as is necessary for the purposes for which you provided it to us. However, we may keep your personal information for a longer period in order to comply with legal obligations.

rectification of incorrect personal information and completion of incomplete personal information;
erasure of your personal information, including the “right to be forgotten”;

your personal information being portable and accessible upon request;

We treat all complaints about a breach of the privacy laws applicable to you seriously. We will investigate your complaint and respond to you within a reasonable time. If you are not satisfied with the response, you have the right, depending on the jurisdiction, to make a complaint to the applicable regulator.

Marketing and External Linking
Opting in: We will not send you any type of marketing materials unless you have opted in to receive them.
Direct marketing: Once you have opted in to receive marketing materials, we may send you surveys or marketing communications to inform you of new products or services or other information that may be of interest. Third parties with whom we have shared your personal information may send you direct marketing communications.
Opting out: If you want to stop receiving direct marketing communications from either us or a third party, it is easy to opt out. You can send us an email request at info(at)wizer.life or press the “unsubscribe” button on the communication that is sent to you.

Links: We may link to websites, including those of third-party content providers and social media sites. These websites may contain social media features such as Facebook, LinkedIn or Instagram buttons. These features may collect information about your device’s IP address, set cookies or link you to a social media website where you may post personal information. The websites of third party providers and social media sites may have different privacy policies and practices from those disclosed here. We assume no responsibility for the policies or practices of such websites and encourage you to become acquainted with them prior to use.
Interactive Services
The Services are designed to allow users of the Services to interact with one another so that users can obtain the benefit of advice provided by a wise crowd. Additionally, in the creation of your wise crowd, we may ask for access to your contacts list in order to allow you to select any of your friends to invite to your crowd. Should you choose to invite these people, they will be contacted by us in relation to that request - which will be in the form of an unsolicited message. As mentioned above, we recommend you ensure the person you invite is aware of this and has your permission to invite them. .
If you take part in a discussion, post a question or answer another user’s question, you need to be aware that anything you post is open to the public and any personal information you post or provide may be viewable by others. We are not responsible for personal information you submit in this context, nor are we responsible for how others might use that information, including sending you unsolicited messages. Your postings may be retained indefinitely. If at any time you would like to remove a posting, please email us at insert email info(At)wizer.life. Keep in mind that removal of a posting from the Wizer app or our website does not mean that the content will be deleted from our systems.
