Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are located in the EEA, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how we use it.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete 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 the purposes for which it was collected.
Right to Restriction
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as while we verify the accuracy of data you have challenged.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
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, subject to certain exceptions.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month, though this period may be extended by two further months where necessary, depending on the complexity of your request.
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. There is no fee for exercising your rights, although we may charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.
International Data Transfers
As an Australian-based organisation, data collected from EEA residents may be transferred to and processed in Australia. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for such transfers, which may include:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
- Processing data in countries with adequate protection determinations
- Other lawful transfer mechanisms under GDPR
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, after which it is securely deleted or anonymised. Specific retention periods vary depending on the type of data and applicable legal requirements.
Complaints
If you believe we have not handled your personal data appropriately, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country of residence. However, we encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly.
Updates
We may update this GDPR information periodically. Material changes will be communicated through our website.
