Legal & Policies

This Privacy Policy explains how Unibuz Pty Ltd (ACN 605 773 555, ABN 57 605 773 555) ("Unibuz", "we", "us", "our") collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information in connection with the Platform. It is intended to comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Unibuz Pty Ltd, trading as Unibuz, is an Australian proprietary limited company. Registered office: PO BOX 822, South Yarra VIC 3141, Australia. Contact for privacy matters: privacy@unibuz.com.au.

We do not collect: raw card numbers, CVVs or full card numbers; your real-time device location; your contacts or address book; or microphone or camera streams.

• Directly from you (account creation, profile, posts, messages, listings, events, payments, support contact)
• From your university, via AAF SSO
• Automatically (IP, approximate location, device/app info, push tokens) as part of operating and securing the Platform
• Age verification, via a third party verification provider

• Create and administer your Account, verify eligibility/student status
• Provide Platform features (messaging, communities, marketplace, events, ticketing)
• Process payments and payouts
• Detect, investigate and prevent fraud, abuse, security incidents, breaches of these Terms
• Moderate public content for safety and Community Guidelines compliance
• Send service communications, security alerts and (opt-out) other notifications
• Respond to support requests, reports and complaints
• Comply with legal obligations

Public content (posts, comments, listings, events, profile text/images) is reviewed by Google Gemini, which assigns moderation status/reason/score and sentiment/language. This informs approval, flagging, or removal. We also generate profile-similarity embeddings via OpenAI from your profile text. User content submitted to these third-party AI providers is not used to train their general or external AI models.

Before submission, we make a good-faith, pattern-based effort to screen content for common personal information and prompt removal - not a guarantee, and it does not extract/screen text embedded in images.

6A. Automated Decision-Making - Advance Disclosure

We use a computer program (Google Gemini) to help make, or substantially assist in making, decisions about your Content and Account - including whether a post, comment, listing or event is approved, flagged for human review, or removed, and whether your Account is warned, restricted, suspended or banned. These decisions use the content you submit, your account and moderation history, and automatically generated moderation/sentiment scores.

These decisions can significantly affect your ability to use the Platform. Human review remains part of our process, particularly for safety-critical matters, and you may request a review of a moderation or enforcement decision - see Part H (AI and Moderation Notice).

We do not sell personal information, and do not share it with third parties for their own marketing.

Several third parties above are overseas (principally US-based: OpenAI, Sentry, Google Gemini/Translate). We take reasonable steps to ensure APP-consistent handling, including relying on each provider's contractual commitments where applicable.

Service-related communications are not optional. Other communications will have a clear opt-out, and sensitive information will never be used for direct marketing.

Unibuz uses cookies and similar technologies to: maintain sessions and authentication; enhance security and prevent fraud; analyse engagement and performance; and support marketing cookies if enabled. By using Unibuz, you consent to the use of cookies. You may disable cookies via browser settings, but some functionality may be impaired. Unibuz’s up to date Cookie Policy can be found here: Cookie Policy · Unibuz

Reasonable steps are taken to keep personal information accurate and secure. Database/auth/storage hosted in Sydney, Australia. Significant account and security events are logged in a form that cannot be altered, and the log is kept after content or profile deletion, for security and accountability. Server, security and access logs are deleted 12 months after they are recorded.

You can access and correct most profile information in-app. You may request access, correction, deletion, or Account closure via in-app settings, Part J (Data Deletion and Account Closure Policy), Part K (Account Deletion Request), or privacy@unibuz.com.au.

We do not currently collect health information or other sensitive information. If this changes - including if the wellbeing feature described in Part I is activated - we will update this Policy and seek consent first, per APP 3.

No wellbeing data is currently generated or shared with any institution. We will obtain your consent before before any sharing with a university counselling service.

Eligibility, including the minimum age, is set out in Part A, clause 3. Where you sign in through AAF, that process is also a signal of verified university enrolment.

If we become aware of a data breach likely to result in serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the OAIC in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

Contact privacy@unibuz.com.au first. If unsatisfied, you may complain to the OAIC at oaic.gov.au.

The Platform is designed for students enrolled at Australian Approved Institutions and is designed to be used and accessed in Australia. Information is primarily handled in Australia even if accessed from overseas.

We may update this Policy from time to time; material changes will be notified via the Platform, website or email where practicable.
