We may use cookies to track non-personally identifiable information such as usage and volume statistics, and for research purposes in order to further develop our Website.


Information about other people

If you provide us with, or authorise us to collect, personal information about another person, you confirm that they have authorised you to provide us, or authorise us to collect, their personal information in accordance with this Privacy Policy and that you have informed them of their rights to access and request correction of their personal information, as set out below.

Use of personal information


Turtle Beach may use your personal information for the following purposes:

 

  • for the general operation of Turtle Beach and our relationship with you – including delivering you with products or services that you have purchased;

  • to respond to requests for support or otherwise provide customer service;

  • to inform you of other products or services available from Turtle Beach and its affiliates or that we think may be of interest to you;

Disclosure of personal information


Turtle Beach may share your personal information with the following parties:

 

  • our related companies and organisations, partners, contractors and service providers (including IT services providers), to assist us with the operation of Turtle Beach;

  • our co-branding partners (as described below); and

  • any other party authorised by you or to whom we are required or authorised to disclose personal information in accordance with applicable law.

We require any third parties to adhere to our confidentiality requirements and to the requirements of the Privacy Act.

Co-Branding

Turtle Beach may enter into a “co-branding” relationship with another company or organisation. At times, we may communicate with you on behalf of that company and you may be directed to a partner website to purchase a specific item or learn about their services. In these cases, both Turtle Beach and the partner company may receive personal information you provide and you should refer to the privacy policy of the “co-branding” partner to learn about how they handle your personal information.


Our email marketing communications

Your personal information is processed in connection with our email marketing communications by Klaviyo, an email service provider, with its corporate address 125 Summer Street, Floor 6, Boston, MA, 02110. Klaviyo (www.klaviyo.com) acts on our behalf and processes your personal information on our instructions.


Overseas disclosure

If we send personal information overseas either directly or via a third party, we will ensure that any such transfer of personal information will only be undertaken in compliance with applicable laws, including the Privacy Act.

Storage of personal information


Storage

Personal Information that we collect is either held by us at our head office (refer to the Contact Us section below) or on our behalf. For example, some information we hold will be stored in “the cloud” in secure databases on our behalf by third parties based overseas. The use of these services, and the transfer of information overseas (if applicable) will not relieve us of our obligations under the Privacy Act and this Privacy Policy.


Security

Security of your information is very important to us. We use encryption and authentication tools to protect the security of the information that you share with us. Once we receive your personal information via the Website, we do our best to protect its security on our systems. For example, we protect personal information we gather on a secured server that is located behind a firewall. However, due to the inherent nature of the internet, we are not able to guarantee the security of any information that we hold or that you transmit to us.

 

Please keep in mind that if you disclose personal information through public forums and bulletin boards on the Website this information may be collected and used by others. You are responsible for the personal information that you choose to share on the Site’s public forums and bulletin boards.
