This Privacy Policy explains when and why we collect personal information, how we use it, the conditions under which we may disclose it to others and how we keep it secure.

Curious Minds Media is a digital marketing agency assisting our clients with digital campaigns. Our company’s headquarters is located in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, and our subsidiary companies are based in the United Kingdom, the United States of America and Singapore.

When you are providing personal data in our campaigns.
We collect and use personal data mainly to provide information about our campaigns, gather support in relation to our campaigns, donor support for our campaigns, direct marketing and customer service. We also collect data about suppliers, partners and persons seeking a job or working in our company.
We may use your information for the following purposes:
The collection of personal data based on consent from the data subject will be done by using “Consent Forms” that will store documentation related to the consent given by the individual. Individual consents will always be stored and documented in our systems. We may send digital marketing to persons which have consented, such as marketing per email, sms or phone.
We use personal information for fulfilling our obligations related to contracts and agreements with customers, partners and suppliers.
We may use personal data if it is considered to be of legitimate interest, and if the privacy interests of the data subjects do not override this interest. Normally, to establish the legal basis for data collection, an assessment has been made during which a mutual interest between Curious Minds Media and the individual person has been identified. This legal basis is primarily related to our marketing purposes, and we may send information on products and services to our customers based on legitimate interest. We will always inform individuals about their privacy rights and the purpose for collecting personal data.
We collect names, phone numbers, postcodes and email addresses. We may also collect feedback, comments and questions received from you in service-related communication and activities, such as phone calls and emails. From our website we may collect IP-address and actions taken on the site.
Curious Minds Media does not collect or process any special categories of personal data, such as public unique identifiers or sensitive personal data.
We store personal data for as long as we find it necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the personal data was collected, while also considering our need to answer your queries or resolve possible problems, to comply with legal requirements under applicable laws, to attend to any legal claims/complaints, and for safeguarding purposes.
This means that we may retain your personal data for a reasonable period of time after your last interaction with us. When the personal data that we have collected is no longer required, we will delete it in a secure manner. We may process data for statistical purposes, but in such cases, data will be anonymized.
You have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
Any query about your Privacy Rights should be sent to support@wearecuriousminds.com
Our products are built with strong security features that continuously protect your information. And if we do detect something risky that we think you should know about, we’ll notify you and help guide you through steps to stay better protected.
We work hard to protect you from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of information we hold, including:
Definitions: Data breaches include both confirmed and suspected incidents.
An incident includes but is not restricted to, the following:
Containment and Recovery: We will firstly determine if the breach is still occurring. If so, the appropriate steps will be taken immediately to minimise the effect of the breach.
The DPO will establish who may need to be notified as part of the initial containment and will inform the police, where appropriate.
Investigation and Risk Assessment: An investigation will be undertaken by us as soon as reasonably possible when the breach is discovered / reported.
The investigation will need to take into account the following:
Notification: Every incident will be assessed on a case by case basis; however, the following will need to be considered:
Not every incident warrants notification.
Individuals whose personal data has been affected by the incident, and where it has been considered likely to result in a high risk of adversely affecting that individual’s rights and freedoms, will be informed without undue delay. Notification will include a description of how and when the breach occurred and the data involved. Specific and clear advice will be given on what they can do to protect themselves, and include what action has already been taken to mitigate the risks.

Website Navigational Information includes standard information from your web browser, such as browser type and browser language; your Internet Protocol (“IP”) address; and the actions you take on the company’s websites, such as the web pages viewed and the links clicked.
This information is used to make websites work more efficiently, as well as to provide business and marketing information to the owners of the site, and to gather such personal data as browser type and operating system, referring page, path through site, domain of ISP, etc. for the purposes of understanding how visitors use a website. Cookies and similar technologies help us tailor our website to your personal needs, as well as to detect and prevent security threats and abuse. If used alone, cookies do not personally identify you.

Tracking: To offer a better customer experience to the people visiting our website, Curious Minds Media uses a number of marketing tools. They allow us to analyze aggregated data, such as visitors’ scrolling patterns or clicks, in order to determine which pages result in the best actions. However, Curious Minds Media does not use your personally identifiable information by employing any of these marketing tools. We use Google Analytics as the third-party service provider: Privacy Policy.
Remarketing: Curious Minds Media uses remarketing tracking cookies and conversion pixels from Facebook in order to present you with information about campaigns you have opted into. This may result in you seeing an ad to support one of our campaigns after you have visited our website. Moreover, Curious Minds Media also creates custom audiences based on emails of subscribers to present information about our campaigns via social media. However, Curious Minds Media does not use your personally identifiable information by employing any of the remarketing services, other than to present you special offers from us. When using remarketing, some personal data to identify the user, such as name, email and/or phone number, may be transferred to the provider of the advertising or a social media network (such as Facebook). Curious Minds Media uses retargeting to both exclude individual persons from retargeting (such as existing supporters of our charity partners) and to include individual persons (such as potential new supporters of Curious Minds Media or our charity partners).
We use the following third-party service providers for remarketing (see more below under “Use of sub-contractors”):

However, we will do what we can to ensure that your privacy rights continue to be protected.
We may use sub-contractors to process personal data on our behalf, and are responsible for making sure they commit themselves to adhere to this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection legislation by signing a Data Processing Agreement.
If the sub-contractor processes Personal Data outside the UK area, such processing must be in accordance with the UK GDPR , EU Standard Contractual Clauses for transfer to third countries, or another specifically stated lawful basis for the transfer of personal data to a third country.
