3. Essential Information and Legal Requirements

Personal Information Security

The website operators place significant importance on safeguarding your personal information. We handle your personal information with strict confidentiality and in compliance with applicable data protection laws and the provisions outlined in this privacy policy.

During your use of this website, we collect various types of personal information. Personal information refers to any data that enables your individual identification. This privacy policy describes the types of information we gather, how we utilize it, and the methods and purposes behind this collection.

Please be aware that transmitting information over the Internet (for instance, when sending emails) may involve security vulnerabilities. Absolute protection of information against unauthorized third-party access cannot be guaranteed.

Responsible Party Details

The responsible party refers to the individual or organization that, either independently or in collaboration with others, determines the objectives and methods for processing personal information (such as names, email addresses, and similar data).

Information Retention Duration

In the absence of a more specific retention period stated elsewhere in this privacy policy, we will retain your personal information until the original purpose for processing no longer exists. Should you submit a valid deletion request or withdraw your consent for data processing, we will delete your information unless we have other legally justified reasons for retention (such as tax or commercial law retention requirements); in such instances, deletion will occur once these legal justifications no longer apply.

Information Transfers to the United States and Other Countries

We utilize various tools and services provided by companies located in the United States or other countries that may not offer equivalent data protection standards. When these tools are active, your personal information may be transferred to these countries and processed there. Please note that we cannot guarantee data protection levels comparable to those available in Australia when information is transferred to these jurisdictions.

Withdrawing Your Consent for Information Processing

Numerous information processing activities require your explicit consent to proceed. You retain the right to withdraw any consent you have previously granted at any time. The legality of information processing that occurred prior to your withdrawal remains unaffected by your decision to revoke consent.

Right to Object to Information Processing in Specific Situations and Direct Marketing (Art. 21 Australian Privacy Act)

IF INFORMATION PROCESSING OCCURS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F OF THE AUSTRALIAN PRIVACY ACT, YOU MAINTAIN THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION DUE TO REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR SPECIFIC CIRCUMSTANCES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL INFORMATION UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 OF THE AUSTRALIAN PRIVACY ACT).

IF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT IT RELATES TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 OF THE AUSTRALIAN PRIVACY ACT).

Right to File a Complaint with Regulatory Authorities

In cases involving violations of the Australian Privacy Act, individuals have the right to file a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). This right to file a complaint exists independently of other administrative or legal remedies you may pursue.

Right to Information Portability

You have the right to receive information we process automatically based on your consent or contract fulfillment in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, either directly from us or transferred to another responsible party. If you request direct transfer to another party, we will comply to the extent technically possible.

Secure Connection Technology

This website employs SSL or TLS encryption technology to enhance security and protect the transmission of sensitive content, such as enquiries or requests you send to us as the website operator. You can identify an encrypted connection by observing that the browser address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and displays a lock icon in the browser.

When SSL or TLS encryption is active, information you transmit to us cannot be intercepted or read by unauthorized third parties.

Access, Correction, and Deletion Rights

Under applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain, at no charge and at any time, information about your stored personal information, including its source, recipients, and processing purposes, as well as the right to request correction or deletion of this information. You may contact us at any time with questions or requests regarding your personal information.

Right to Limit Information Processing

You have the right to request limitations on how we process your personal information. You may contact us at any time regarding this right. The right to limit processing applies in the following circumstances:

• If you challenge the accuracy of personal information we have stored, we typically require time to verify the information. During the verification period, you have the right to request that we limit processing of your personal information.
• If processing of your personal information was or is unlawful, you may request limitation of processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer require your personal information, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request limitation of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have filed an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 of the Australian Privacy Act, a balancing of your interests and ours must be conducted. While this balancing is ongoing, you have the right to request limitation of processing of your personal information.

If you have successfully limited processing of your personal information, this information may only be processed – beyond storage – with your consent, for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, for protecting the rights of another individual or organization, or for reasons of significant public interest.
