We do not store credit card details, only token payments via our secure payment gateway, Stripe.

G.        Notifiable Data Breaches

If there has been an unauthorised disclosure or access of personal information or that the information has been lost in a way that it is likely to give rise to unauthorised access or disclosure and is likely to result in serious harm, we will comply with requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 in relation to an “eligible data breach”. If we notify you of a breach where possible, we will provide recommendations as to steps you should take regarding the breach.

H.        General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

Where the GDPR applies we rely on the following lawful reasons to collect and use your personal data and, on occasion, more than one lawful reason (basis) set out below may apply to the processing:

  • our legitimate interests in marketing and providing our goods and services globally for both our benefit and that of our customers and contacts interested in what we provide;

  • to perform or enter into any contract we may have with you;

  • to comply with our legal obligations;

  • to protect your vital interests or that of another person (e.g. in an emergency); or

  • where you consent to the processing where we ask you to (e.g. for certain sorts of marketing or other processing where the law either requires this or where it is our policy from time to time to seek consent for such processing).

 

Please note that some countries outside the UK or EU (including Australia) do not have the same data protection laws as the UK or EU. However, we do not ordinarily disclose your credit information or credit eligibility information to entities that do not have an Australian link.

 

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that third parties that have access to your personal information are bound by appropriate privacy and confidentiality obligations in relation to that personal information.

 

Where the GDPR applies to any transfer of personal information, either by us or by any third party to whom we provide your personal information, such transfer will (unless the European Commission considers their laws adequate) be subject to appropriate or suitable relevant safeguards (such as a legally binding contract containing European Commission-approved model clauses or terms consistent with them or, for transfers to the US, the EU-US Privacy Shield). These safeguards will apply to the extent required under the GDPR and are designed to help safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a misuse of your personal information. If you have any queries about the basis upon which we may transfer your personal information outside of Australia, please contact us using our contact details below.

 

If you are an individual or sole trader, you may request that information supplied to third parties for the purposes of verification / authentication can be de-identified.
