Legal Basis for Processing

We process your personal data based on the following legal grounds:

  • Contractual necessity: Processing required to fulfil our service agreement with you
  • Legitimate interests: Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, where these do not override your rights
  • Consent: Where you have given explicit consent for specific processing activities
  • Legal obligation: Processing required to comply with legal requirements

Your Rights Under GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.

Right to Rectification

If you believe any personal data we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to request correction. We will respond to rectification requests within one month.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, including when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, or when you withdraw consent.

Right to Restrict Processing

You can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain situations, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or object to processing based on legitimate interests.

Right to Data Portability

Where processing is based on consent or contractual necessity and is carried out by automated means, you have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.

Rights Related to Automated Decision-Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing that significantly affect you. We do not currently use automated decision-making processes.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected:

  • Client records: 7 years after the last service provided
  • Marketing consent records: Until consent is withdrawn
  • Website analytics: 26 months
  • Communication records: 3 years

International Data Transfers

As an Australian company, we primarily store and process data within Australia. If we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as standard contractual clauses or adequacy decisions.

Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including:

  • Encryption of data in transit and at rest
  • Access controls and authentication
  • Regular security assessments
  • Staff training on data protection
  • Incident response procedures

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours. If the breach is likely to result in a high risk to you, we will also notify you directly.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under GDPR, please contact us using the details provided above. We will respond to your request within one month. In complex cases, we may extend this period by two additional months, in which case we will inform you of the extension.

Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal data properly, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. In Australia, this is the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). For EU residents, you may contact your local data protection authority.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this GDPR compliance information from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
