ADDITIONAL RIGHTS OF EUROPEAN RESIDENTS

We are committed to ensuring we comply with the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), to the extent it applies to our handling of personal information.

Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information under Australian law. We note that we also have customers who are located in the European Union who have additional rights in respect of their personal data. All rights referred to in the Privacy Policy extend equally to European residents, and ‘personal data’ and ‘personal information’ should be considered interchangeable.

If you are a European resident, we note that we are processing your personal data in order to fulfil contracts we might have with you (for example if you make an order through the Site), or otherwise to pursue our legitimate business interests listed above. We also process your information with your consent, which you have the right to withdraw at any time. We will ensure that your processed persona data is adequate, relevant, not excessive, accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date. Additionally, please note that your information will only be transferred outside of the European Union where there is adequate protection, or where we have your consent to do so.

While we endeavour to provide all our customers with appropriate access and control over their personal data, as a European resident, you may, in certain circumstances, have the following additional rights:

  • the right to have your data erased (“the right to be forgotten”);
  • the right to restrict processing of your personal data;
  • the right to data portability;
  • the right to object to the processing of your personal data; and
  • the right to object to automated decision making, including profiling.

We will allow and assist European residents to exercise these rights unless we have compelling and legitimate legal grounds not to (e.g. an objection in the GDPR, a countervailing legal obligation under Australian legislation or if the personal data has been fully anonymised).
