DISCLAIMER
RateThePlate.com.au does not in any way guarantee the information displayed on this web site as accurate. The information displayed on this web site is supplied by the users of the web site, not by RateThePlate.com.au's owners or any central body.
This web site is a public forum used by members of the public to record traffic incidents and report/record their views on them. The comments, views and opinions expressed on this website are NOT the opinions of the website administrators and are simply related to a particular driver; of a particular vehicle; at a particular time. Opinions and comments expressed and are NOT intended to be linked with the owner or official registrant of the motor vehicle.
This web site employs sophisticated checks on all data that is submitted to the web site to ensure that it is as accurate as possible. E.g. One of our more basic checks is as simple as ensuring that a single internet user is unable to repeatedly tarnish the Ratings History of a single, targeted Registration Number. Registration Numbers that show a lengthy Ratings History have received this because many different users have submitted separate Ratings, therefore dramatically increasing the integrity of the lengthy Ratings History.

All personal information supplied is treated as confidential and will not be shared, broadcast, or otherwise transmitted to any other commercial, public or private organisation.
Your RatethePLATE username is displayed with any comments you leave, however members of the public or other RatethePLATE users have no way of knowing your true name.
Rate the Pty Ltd is strongly committed to protecting your privacy while interacting with our content, products and services. We want to provide a safe and secure environment for our users and customers.
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to tell you what kind of information we may gather about you when you visit our site, how we may use that information, whether we disclose it to anyone, and the choices you have regarding our use of, and your ability to correct this information. Our policy allows you to choose what kind and how much information you provide to us and to control how we use whatever information you give us. Our goal is to provide you with a satisfying experience while allowing you to control your privacy and to give you a means to voice any questions or concerns you may have.

Collection of information
Information is collected from you primarily to make it easier and more rewarding for you to use our services. Depending on the service you are accessing, you could be asked to provide information such as your name, email address or information about what you like and do not like. It is entirely your choice whether to respond to these questions or not.
Rate the Pty Ltd collects two types of information. The first type is anonymous information. For instance, we may collect information to tell us that five thousand people visit a particular page, but we do not know their names, where they live or their date of birth - they are 'anonymous' to us.
The second type of information that Rate the Pty Ltd collects is personal information. Rate the Pty Ltd will collect personal information that lets us know the specifics of who you are such as your name, email address, or postal address, when you provide it to us. With this information, Rate the Pty Ltd can provide a variety of personalised and enhanced services that are not available to anonymous users. We hope that you will find it beneficial to provide individually identifiable information about yourself to us because it will make our services more valuable to you.
Sometimes, we may specifically ask for personal information about you when you sign up to use a service or product. Certain information may be required, such as your name, age, internet address or username, billing address, type of computer, credit card number, in order to provide that service or product to you. This information may also be used to inform you of additional products and services which may interest you. You can choose not to receive such information when you are undertaking product or service registration on our website. We may also ask about your interests, but it is your choice whether to respond.
How much of your personal information that you choose to disclose to Rate the Pty Ltd is completely up to you. The only way we know something about you personally is if you provide it to us, for example when you take part in a discussion forum.
Use of anonymous information

This collective data helps us determine how much our audiences use parts of the site, so we can improve Rate the Pty Ltd to assure that it is as appealing as we can make it for as many users as possible. Rate the Pty Ltd may publish or provide this aggregate data to other people.
Use of personal information
Rate the Pty Ltd will only use the personal information you have chosen to provide us for the purpose for which you provided it. Rate the Pty Ltd e will not use it for any other purpose without your consent.
No sale of personal information
Under no circumstances will Rate the Pty Ltd sell or receive payment for licensing or disclosing your personal information.

This information can be collected and used by others. In short, if you post personal information online that is accessible to the public, you may receive unsolicited messages from other parties in return. Therefore, we recommend that you refrain from posting any information that you do not want seen in these public areas.
Ultimately, you are solely responsible for maintaining the secrecy of your passwords and/or any personal information. Be responsible whenever you are online.
