Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EU or EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right to Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to receive information about how we process it.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data and complete any incomplete personal data.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the 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, and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, including processing for direct marketing purposes.
Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you. We do not currently engage in automated decision-making.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided above. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. If your request is complex or you have made numerous requests, we may extend this period by a further two months, in which case we will inform you of the extension.
We may request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity and ensure your right to access your personal data (or to exercise any of your other rights).
International Data Transfers
As we are based in Australia, your personal data may be transferred to, stored, and processed in Australia. Australia is not considered to have an adequacy decision from the European Commission. However, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure your personal data remains protected in accordance with GDPR requirements.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable laws. 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.
Complaints
If you believe that we have not complied with your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If you are located in the EU or EEA, you can contact your local data protection authority. A list of EU data protection authorities is available on the European Commission website.
