Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on one or more of the following legal grounds:

• Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
• Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract
• Legal Obligation: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject
• Legitimate Interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights

Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request that we correct any personal data that is inaccurate or incomplete. We will respond to rectification requests within one month.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, including:

• The data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected
• You withdraw consent and there is no other legal basis for processing
• You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
• The data has been unlawfully processed

Right to Restrict 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 or object to processing.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that we transmit this data directly to another controller where technically feasible.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you. We do not currently engage in automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects.

How to Exercise Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights, please contact us at [email protected] with your request. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

We will respond to your request within one month. If your request is complex or we receive a high volume of requests, we may extend this period by up to two additional months, in which case we will inform you of the extension and the reasons for it.

International Data Transfers

As we are based in Australia, any data you provide may be transferred to and processed in Australia. When transferring data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, which may include:

• Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
• Transfers to countries deemed to provide adequate protection
• Other lawful transfer mechanisms under GDPR

Data Retention

We retain your 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. Our specific retention periods are outlined in our Privacy Policy.

Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

• Encryption of data in transit and at rest where appropriate
• Access controls to limit who can access personal data
• Regular security assessments and testing
• Staff training on data protection

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will also notify you directly.

Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal data properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If you are in the EEA, you can lodge a complaint with the data protection authority in your country of residence.

Changes to This Information

We may update this GDPR information from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
