GDPR Compliance

Last updated: November 2024

1. Overview

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a European Union regulation that governs the processing of personal data of individuals within the EU. Although Bisecappet is based in Australia, we are committed to protecting the privacy of all our users, including those in the European Economic Area (EEA).

This page outlines how we comply with GDPR requirements when processing personal data of EU residents who access our website and services.

2. Data Controller

For the purposes of GDPR, the data controller responsible for your personal data is:

Bisecappet
42 Harbour Street
Sydney NSW 2000
Australia

Email: [email protected]

3. Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data of EU residents only when we have a valid legal basis to do so. These legal bases include:

  • Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
  • Contract: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract
  • Legitimate Interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless your data protection rights override those interests
  • Legal Obligation: Processing is necessary to comply with a legal requirement

4. Your Rights Under GDPR

If you are an EU resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

4.1 Right of Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you and to verify that we are lawfully processing it.

4.2 Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of any personal data we hold about you that is inaccurate or incomplete.

4.3 Right to Erasure

You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected.

4.4 Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data.

4.5 Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.

4.6 Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data where we are relying on legitimate interests as the legal basis for processing.

4.7 Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

5. Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within one month of receipt. In certain circumstances, this period may be extended by two further months where necessary, taking into account the complexity and number of requests.

There is no fee for making a request. However, if your request is clearly unfounded or excessive, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse to act on the request.

6. International Data Transfers

As we are based in Australia, your personal data may be transferred outside the EEA. When we transfer personal data outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data, which may include:

  • Transferring to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection by the European Commission
  • Using specific contracts approved by the European Commission (Standard Contractual Clauses)
  • Other appropriate safeguards as permitted under GDPR

7. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected and to comply with legal obligations. When determining retention periods, we consider:

  • The amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal data
  • The potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure
  • The purposes for which we process the data
  • Applicable legal requirements

8. Data Security

We have implemented appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, including:

  • Encryption of personal data where appropriate
  • Measures to ensure ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of processing systems
  • Processes for regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of security measures

9. 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 of becoming aware of the breach, where feasible. Where the breach is likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will also notify you directly.

10. Complaints

If you believe that we have not complied with your data protection rights, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

We would, however, appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns before you approach a supervisory authority, so please contact us in the first instance.
