INFORMATION FOR RESIDENTS OF THE EUROPEAN UNION (EU)

For individuals residing in the EU, we are committed to maintaining GDPR compliance. Under the GDPR, we primarily act as a "controller" of Personal Data rather than a "processor". In compliance with the GDPR, we provide services that ensure:

  1. Fair and Transparent Processing: We process Personal Data (i.e. Personal Information) in a fair, lawful, and transparent manner. We collect and process Personal Data only for specified and lawful purposes.

  2. Adequate and Relevant Processing: Processed Personal Data (i.e. Personal Information used, held, or disclosed by us) is adequate, relevant, and not excessive. We strive to ensure the accuracy of Personal Data and keep it up to date as necessary.

  3. Security of Personal Data: We implement appropriate security measures to keep Personal Data secure and prevent unauthorised access. We retain Personal Data only for as long as necessary and in accordance with legal requirements.

  4. International Data Transfers: We do not transfer Personal Data to countries outside the European Union without adequate protection.

  5. Respect for Individual Rights: We respect the legal rights of individuals under the GDPR. Individuals covered by the GDPR have the right to restrict, limit, or provide instructions regarding the use of their Personal Data. They can object to the processing of their Personal Data, request erasure (i.e. deletion) of their information, and request a portable format of their Personal Data.

While we strive to provide appropriate access and control over Personal Data, we allow and assist individuals who are EU residents to exercise these rights unless we have compelling and legitimate legal grounds not to do so (e.g. legal obligations under Australian legislation or when Personal Data is fully anonymised).
