While our primary operations are based in Australia, we recognize the importance of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users located in the European Economic Area (EEA), United Kingdom, and Switzerland. We have implemented measures to ensure compliance with GDPR requirements when processing personal data of individuals in these regions.
We process personal data under the following legal bases as defined by GDPR:
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
You have the right to request confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to obtain a copy of that data along with information about how it is processed.
You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data, including when:
You may request that we limit the processing of your personal data in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing.
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
You may object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you. Our services do not currently employ automated decision-making of this nature.
To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer:
