Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data based on the following legal grounds:

Your GDPR Rights

Under GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right of Access

You may request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and information about how it is processed.

Right to Rectification

You may request correction of inaccurate personal data or completion of incomplete data.

Right to Erasure

You may request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for its original purpose.

Right to Restrict Processing

You may request limitation of processing in specific situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of your data.

Right to Data Portability

You may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used format for transfer to another service provider.

Right to Object

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests, including profiling and direct marketing.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have rights concerning automated individual decision-making, including profiling. We do not currently use automated decision-making that produces legal effects.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in our Privacy Policy, or as required by law. Enquiry data is typically retained for project reference and follow-up purposes, then securely deleted when no longer needed.

International Transfers

As we operate from Australia, data may be transferred outside the EU/EEA. We implement appropriate safeguards for such transfers, including adherence to privacy principles comparable to GDPR standards.

Data Security

We implement technical and organisational measures appropriate to the risk level, including encryption, access controls, and regular security assessments.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your GDPR rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to requests within one month. In complex cases, we may extend this period by two additional months with notification.

We may request identification verification to ensure we release information only to the appropriate individual.

Complaints

If you believe your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. For EU residents, this is typically the data protection authority in your country of residence.

Changes to This Notice

We may update this GDPR information periodically. Material changes will be communicated through our website. We encourage regular review of this page.
