The GDPR is the European Union (EU) data protection law. Australian-based organisations that offer goods or services to persons in the EU or target or monitor the behaviour of persons in the EU may be required to comply with the GDPR regulatory regime.
We are an Australian based organisation providing products and services within Australia. From time to time, we may capture or collect Personal Information that passes through the EU. This might occur, for example, if a person in the EU accesses our website and we collect analytical data about them, if a person in the EU signs up for a newsletter, enquiries about our services from the EU, or if one of our customers gives us information about a person in the EU. If this occurs, we will treat the Personal Information received in accordance with this Policy.
Where data is processed or monitored in the EU, you may have additional rights, such as:
13.1.1. The right to request that we delete your Personal Information (unless we require that information to comply with a legal obligation, or need it to bring or defend a legal claim); and
13.1.2. The right to restrict our processing of your Personal Information (where it is inaccurate, would be unlawful to process, or where it has not been deleted due to us needing it to meet a legal obligation).
