Commitment to Protect your Privacy
Upside.Digital Pty Ltd respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it.
This Privacy Policy explains how and why we collect personal information, what we use it for, and to whom and when we disclose it. It is an important document so please take the time to read it.
We will treat your personal information in accordance with our obligations under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and related Australia laws. We refer to these collectively as “the Privacy Law”.
“Personal information” has a specific meaning set out in the Privacy Law, but includes any information we hold which is about you or is reasonably identifiable as being about you.
By providing us with personal information, visiting our websites or by using our services, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
What Type of Personal Information Do We Collect?
We only collect personal information where necessary and relevant so that we can provide you with access to information or other services. This may include, for example, when you request to receive further information from an advertiser.
The extent and type of personal information collected will vary depending on how you interact with us, but will usually include:
data about you, your interests, and products/services you select to receive communications about; 
contact details such as your name, address, phone number and email address; 
other information such as your year of birth, gender, family size including children and pets, your type of mobile phone, personal income, employment situation, online shopping habits and personal interests. 
Some personal information may be collected for activities not specifically outlined in this Privacy Policy, and where reasonable, we will make clear why we are collecting it when we do so.
How Do We Collect Your Personal Information?
We collect personal information from you in a variety of ways, including when you interact with us electronically or in person, when you access our websites and when we provide our services to you. We may receive personal information from third parties. If we do, we will protect it in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
How Do We Use Your Personal Information?
We use and disclose personal information to fulfil the purpose for which it is collected or else for related purposes. This includes, for example, providing you with information, updates and services.
We may make you aware of new and additional products, services and opportunities available to you. We may also use your personal information to improve our products and services and better understand your needs.
We may contact you by a variety of measures including, but not limited to telephone, email, SMS (text message) or mail.
We may disclose your personal information to any of our employees, officers, insurers, professional advisers, agents, suppliers or subcontractors insofar as reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. Personal information is only supplied to a third party when it is required for the delivery of our services.
We may from time to time need to disclose personal information to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request.
We may also use your personal information to protect the copyright, trademarks, legal rights, property or safety of Upside.digital Pty Ltd, https://prd.billyexplores.com.au and http://UpsideDigital.com.au, our customers or third parties.
If there is a change of control in our business or a sale or transfer of business assets, we reserve the right to transfer to the extent permissible at law our user databases, together with any personal information and non-personal information contained in those databases. This information may be disclosed to a potential purchaser under an agreement to maintain confidentiality. We would seek to only disclose information in good faith and where required by any of the above circumstances.
If we need to disclose your personal information to an overseas recipient such as an advertiser or data warehouse who is not in Australia, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient adheres to the Privacy Law in relation to your personal information.
We may also provide your information directly to third-party service providers for the purposes of servicing your requests or enquiries. These providers have their own obligations under the Privacy Law and will have their own privacy policies. Your interactions with those providers will be governed by those separate policies, and by using our Services you are consenting to the disclosure of your personal information on that basis.
How Do We Hold and Disclose Your Personal Information?
We hold your personal information on secure servers located in Australia and the United States.
We disclose personal information to our advertisers, customers, third party agents, directors, employees and contractors only for a purpose that is consistent with the way we have informed you that we will use the information in this Privacy Policy.
How Do We Keep Information Secure?
We are committed to ensuring the security of the information we hold about you. We will always try to ensure that we take all reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
If we no longer need any information, we will take reasonable steps to destroy and/or de-identify the information, unless this is required to be retained to comply with any of our legal requirements.
We have no control over information that may be transmitted over the internet, so therefore cannot guarantee its safety whilst in transit.
What Happens if There is a Data Breach?
If a suspected data breach occurs, we will determine the extent of the breach. A data breach may occur if your personal information is lost or subjected to unauthorised access or disclosure.
If we believe that the suspected data breach is likely to result in serious harm to you, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as soon as practicable and as required by the Privacy Law. This notification will set out a description of the data breach, the kinds of information concerned, and recommendations about the steps you should take in response to the data breach.

<h2>What’s New With Electricity Bills in Victoria?</h2>
The <a href="https://www.esc.vic.gov.au/">Essential Services Commission</a> (ESC) in Victoria is making changes to electricity bills in Victoria from July 2019.
The new disclosure guidelines will be introduced in a bid to provide more clarity and fairness to energy customers in Victoria. Along with the removal of ‘standing offers’, this is another step to improve energy market.
<ul>
<li style="list-style-type: none;">
<ul>
<li>Best Offer information: Retailers must now tell customers if they are on the best plan for their usage. Electricity bills must now display advice on whether there is a better offer for customers. The advice must appear quarterly for electricity bills in Victoria and every 4 months for electricity bills.</li>
<li>Warning of bill changes: Retailers must now notify customers at least 5 days before any pricing or benefit changes that affect them. Likewise, the notice must also include ‘best offer’ information if there is a cheaper deal available.</li>
<li>GST Inclusive Pricing: Pricing will now be shown inclusive of GST.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<h2>Why are Electricity Bills in Victoria Changing?</h2>
The <a href="https://engage.vic.gov.au/review-electricity-and-gas-retail-markets-victoria">Independent Bipartisan Review of Electricity and Gas Retail Markets</a> is driving these changes. The Government responded with several recommendations in the areas of electricity bills in Victoria and marketing, competitiveness and fair contracts.
The benefits promised by the industry deregulation have not been realised, according to the review. It suggested the range of different contracts causes confusion for customers. In general, there is a lack of clarity around contracts, offers and bills.
The removal of ‘standing offers’ and implementation of the Victorian Default Offer will also come into effect on 1 July 2019. This aims to make energy cheaper for 167,000 customers currently on ‘standing offers’ rather than ‘market offers’.
<h2>How Else Can You Get Cheap Energy Deals in Victoria?</h2>
If anybody knows how confusing energy contracts can be, it’s Billy Explores. That&#8217;s why we offer a comparison service for better deals from our panel of providers so that you don’t have to. The Government’s changes to electricity bills in Victoria are a great help, but Billy can do even more. If you want to see if you potentially can save even more money, through <a href="https://billyexplores.com.au/compare-electricity-gas/">Billy you may find an even better deal</a>!
