Legal Basis for Processing
We process personal information from EEA individuals based on the following legal grounds:
- Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal information for a specific purpose
- Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you
- Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation
- Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, and your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests
Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right of Access
You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and, if so, to obtain a copy of that data along with information about how we process it.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete personal data.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose or when you withdraw consent.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
Right to Withdraw Consent
Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
International Data Transfers
As an Australian company, personal data collected from EEA individuals may be transferred to and stored in Australia. Australia does not currently have an adequacy decision from the European Commission.
When we transfer personal data outside the EEA, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure your data receives an adequate level of protection. These safeguards may include:
- Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
- Binding corporate rules where applicable
- Other legally recognised transfer mechanisms
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including to satisfy legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. When determining retention periods, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure, and applicable legal requirements.
Automated Decision Making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects EEA individuals.
Supervisory Authority
If you are located in the EEA, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority if you believe that our processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection laws.
