Information storage and security
We use data hosting service providers in Australia to host the information we collect, and we use technical measures to secure your data. While we implement safeguards designed to protect your information, no security system is impenetrable and due to the inherent nature of the Internet, we cannot guarantee that data, during transmission through the Internet or while stored on our systems or otherwise in our care, is safe from intrusion by others.
How long we keep information
We will retain your information on our data base as long as your account is active, or as needed to provide the Services to you. If you no longer want us to use your information to provide the Services to you, you may request in writing, that we delete your information.
We will retain and use your information to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your information to comply with applicable tax/revenue laws), resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and as otherwise described in this policy. After such time, we will either delete or anonymize your information or, if this is not possible (for example, because the information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your information and isolate it from any further use until deletion is possible.
To access your personal information
You may request details of personal information that we hold about you in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act 1988, and to the extent applicable the EU GDPR.
