Spacetalk Privacy Policy
Spacetalk Privacy Policy
Last Updated: 6th August
We are Spacetalk Ltd (ACN 091 351 530), Spacetalk Holdings Pty Ltd (ACN 606 733 804), Spacetalk USA Pty Ltd (ACN 45 606 734 598) its UK subsidiary, SPACETALKWATCH UK Ltd (Company Number 11843344) and any of our group companies (together “Spacetalk”). References to "we," "us," or "our" in this document also refer collectively to Spacetalk.
This Privacy Policy sets out our commitment to protecting the privacy of your personal information provided to us, or otherwise collected, used, stored or disclosed by us when providing our products and services (“Services”) or when otherwise interacting with you in accordance with applicable law and the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). As a supplier of telecommunication services, we may also have obligations under other laws, regulations and industry codes. We make this Privacy Policy readily available and accessible to all customers, clients and service providers.
We may also choose or be required by law to provide different or additional disclosures relating to the processing of personal information about residents of certain countries, regions, or U.S. states. Please refer to the Region-Specific Disclosures section below for additional disclosures that may be applicable to you.
By using our website and Services, or in providing any personal information to us, you agree to our collection, use and disclosure of your personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and any other arrangements that apply between us. We may change our Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing changes to it on our website. We encourage you to check our website periodically to ensure that you are aware of our current Privacy Policy.
“Personal information” includes information or an opinion about an individual that is reasonably identifiable. For example, this may include your name, age, gender, postcode and contact details. It may also include financial information, including your credit card information, which will be collected and held via our third-party payment providers.
Our Role in Processing Personal Information
Data protection laws sometimes differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A “controller” determines the purposes and means (the why and how) of processing personal information. A “processor” processes personal information on behalf of a controller subject to the controller’s instructions. In some jurisdictions, the term “service provider” is used instead of “processor.”
This Privacy Policy describes our privacy practices where we are acting as the controller of personal information. However, this Privacy Policy does not cover or address how we process personal data as a processor.
In particular, this Privacy Policy does not describe how our enterprise customers, such as Aged Care providers, may process personal information when they use our Services, or how we may process personal information on their behalf in accordance with their instructions where we are acting as their processor. As a result, we recommend referring to the Privacy Policy of the enterprise customer with which you have a relationship for information on how they engage processors, like us, to process personal information on their behalf. In addition, we are generally not permitted to respond to individual requests relating to personal information we process on behalf of our enterprise customers, so we recommend directing any requests to the relevant enterprise customer.
If you access our Services or otherwise interact with us from the European Economic Area (“EEA”), United Kingdom (“UK”), or Switzerland, please see the Controller Details section of our Additional EEA, UK, and Switzerland Privacy Disclosures for more information about our legal entities operating as the controllers of your personal information.

If you are purchasing or signing up to our Services for a minor or a person who you have legal responsibility for, as the parent or legal guardian, you must consider the privacy of the user over whom you have responsibility. You may also be responsible for providing any necessary consents on behalf of those individuals.
Sensitive Information Spacetalk collects
Under the Privacy Act and other applicable law, “sensitive information” includes but is not limited to information or an opinion about an individual’s race or ethnic origin, religious belief, or criminal record and also includes health information about an individual.

If you are in the UK, EEA or Switzerland, please refer to the Purposes and Legal Bases of Processing section of our Additional EEA, UK, and Switzerland Privacy Disclosures for further information regarding the lawful basis we rely on to process your personal information.

Where we collect your location data through our Services, we will comply with the relevant Apple App Store and Google Play Store requirements. If you do not want us to use your location data for the purposes above, you should turn off the location services in your account settings in the Spacetalk app or in your mobile phone settings. If you do not provide location data to us, we may not be able to provide our Services to you.
Do we use your personal information for direct marketing?
By agreeing to the terms of this Privacy Policy, you agree that we and/or our carefully selected business partners may send you direct marketing communications and information about our Service. This may take the form of emails, SMS, mail or other forms of communication, in accordance with the Spam Act, the Privacy Act and other applicable law. You may opt-out of receiving marketing materials from us by contacting us using the details set out below or by using the opt-out facilities provided (e.g. an unsubscribe link).

Please refer to the Additional EEA, UK and Switzerland Privacy Disclosures for further information about our use of your personal information for direct marketing and how to withdraw consent.
Automatic Data Collection Preferences
Certain of our Services may provide you the ability to adjust your preferences regarding our use of automatic data collection technologies. For example, there is a “Cookie Preferences” manager linked in the footer of our websites that allows you to adjust your preferences regarding certain automatic data collection technologies on the specific website you are visiting for the specific device and browser you are using at that time (which means you will need to change your preferences on each device and browser you use to interact with the specific website you are visiting).
Where a Spacetalk-specific preference manager or privacy setting is not available, you may be able to utilize third-party tools and features to further restrict our use of automatic data collection technologies. For example, (i) most browsers allow you to change browser settings to limit automatic data collection technologies on websites, (ii) most email providers allow you to prevent the automatic downloading of images in emails that may contain automatic data collection technologies, and (iii) many devices allow you to change your device settings to limit automatic data collection technologies for device applications. Please note that blocking automatic data collection technologies through third-party tools and features may negatively impact your experience using our Services, as some features and offerings may not work properly or at all. Depending on the third-party tool or feature you use, you may not be able to block all automatic data collection technologies, or you may need to update your preferences on multiple devices or browsers. We do not have any control over these third-party tools and features and are not responsible if they do not function as intended.
Who we may disclose your Personal Information to
We work with other companies that help us provide our systems and Services to our customers. We may provide personal information to these companies for the purpose of providing the Services to you and to facilitate our interests as stated above. Those service providers will only be provided with access to your personal information as is reasonably necessary for the purpose that we have engaged the service provider, and we will require that such third parties comply with our standards and all applicable laws.
We may disclose personal information to:

Once retention of the personal information is no longer reasonably necessary for the purposes outlined above, we will either delete or deidentify the personal information or, if that is not possible (for example, because personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store the personal information and isolate it from further active processing until deletion or deidentification is possible.

ADDITIONAL UNITED STATES PRIVACY DISCLOSURES
These disclosures supplement the information contained in our Privacy Policy by providing additional information about children’s privacy under the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) and about our personal information processing practices relating to individual residents of certain states in the United States. For a detailed description of how we collect, use, disclose, and otherwise process personal information, please read our Privacy Policy.
Children’s Privacy (COPPA)
For US users, we will obtain consent from the parent or legal guardian of a child who is under the age of 13 before knowingly processing the child’s personal information.
Personal Information We Collect From Children Under 13
When a child under the age of 13 uses our Services, we will collect the personal information described in our Privacy Policy, such as:
- Name and nickname
- Phone number
- Email address
- Mailing or street address
- Age or date of birth
- Gender
- Photos and other content uploaded to the Services

- Account and profile settings (such as call settings, do not disturb, safe zone, and school mode settings)
- Activity and health data (such as weight, height, step data, movement/physical ability, heart rate, fall detection, and statements of mood)
Personal information collected from children under 13 is accessible to the child’s parent or legal guardian and to users identified as family members through our Services. However, we do not provide public forums, chat rooms, or social networking features where children under 13 can post information publicly.
We do not require children under 13 to provide any more information than is reasonably necessary to use our Services.
How We Use the Personal Information of Children Under 13
We use personal information of children under 13 years old for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy, such as:
- Enabling core features of our Services such as communication, location tracking, and emergency SOS alerts
- Allowing parents or guardians to monitor and manage the child’s use of the device and app
- Supporting family safety and wellbeing (such as activity tracking and health monitoring)
- Ensuring the security and proper functioning of our Services
We do not use the children’s personal information for targeted advertising.
How We Disclose the Personal Information of Children Under 13
We do not sell personal information of children under 13. We may disclose the children’s personal information for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy, such as in the following circumstances:
- To the child’s parent or legal guardian, and to users identified as your family members, as part of the core features of our Services
- To trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Services (such as IT, hosting, or customer support providers), and only as necessary for them to perform their services
- To comply with legal obligations, such as responding to lawful requests from law enforcement or regulatory authorities
- In connection with a business transfer, such as a merger or sale, with notice to parents and legal guardians as required by law
Our current list of service providers is available here. As required by applicable data protection laws, we impose contractual limits on how these service providers can use the Personal Information they receive.
We may also share aggregate or de-identified information in a manner that cannot be reasonably used to identify an individual user.
How to Access and Delete the Personal Information of Children Under 13
The parent or legal guardian of a child under the age of 13 has the right to access the personal information we have collected from the child, withdraw consent for further collection and request deletion of the child’s personal information.
Unless we receive a deletion request, we will retain the personal information collected from the child for as long as necessary to provide our Services and comply with our legal obligations, which could include retaining information as needed for recordkeeping and billing obligations. We will delete and/or de-identify the child’s personal information when it is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected.
If you have any questions about our practices regarding children’s personal information, or if you wish to review or delete your child’s information, please contact us at privacy@spacetalk.co. Additional contact details for Spacetalk can be found in the Enquiries, Requests, Complaints, Breaches section of this policy.
