Appendix 1 – The Privacy Act and the APPs

The Privacy Act and the APPs set out the core requirements for the protection of personal information in Australia. Please read the Privacy Policy above and this Appendix carefully and contact us at the details at the end of the Privacy Policy if you have any questions

How do I access, change or delete my personal information?

In some cases you may be able to access and correct your personal information by logging into your account (if the Software provides this functionality), where you can update your personal details.

You may also request a copy of, changes to, or deletion of, the personal information we hold, and we will act on this request within a reasonable period of time unless we are legally permitted to refuse to do so, in which case we will provide you with details of our refusal in writing.

Before acting on your request we may be contractually required to provide notification to or seek the consent of the Operator.

Social Pinpoint will endeavour to respond to your request or inquiry within 30 days.

How do I make a complaint?

If you wish to make a complaint, please contact us using the details in the contact section above and provide us with full details of the complaint. We will promptly investigate your complaint and respond to you, in writing, setting out the outcome of our investigation and the steps we will take in response to your complaint. If you are not satisfied with our response you also have the right to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

Will my personal information be transferred overseas?

Where we disclose your personal information to third parties in our Privacy Policy, these third parties may store, transfer or access personal information outside of Australia, including but not limited to the United States of America and the Philippines.

We will only disclose your personal information to countries with laws which protect your personal information in a way which is substantially similar to the Australian Privacy Principles or we will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure the third party protects your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Appendix 2 – The GDPR

Under the GDPR individuals located in the EU have extra rights which apply to their personal information. Personal information under the GDPR is often referred to as personal data and is defined as information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (individual). This Appendix sets out the additional rights we give to individuals located in the EU when we sign a GDPR compliant data processing agreement with an Operator, including how we process personal information lawfully, transparently and fairly. Please read the Privacy Policy above and this Appendix carefully and contact us at the details at the end of the Privacy Policy if you have any questions.

What personal information is relevant?

This Appendix applies to the personal information set out in the Privacy Policy above where we sign a GDPR compliant data processing agreement with an Operator. This includes any sensitive information also listed in the Privacy Policy above which is known as ‘special categories of data’ under the GDPR.

Our commitment to you

Your personal information will:

be processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner by us;
only be collected for the specific purposes we have identified in the ‘collection and use of personal information’ clause above and personal information will not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with the purposes we have identified;
be collected in a way that is adequate, relevant and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purpose for which the personal information is processed;
be kept up to date, where it is possible and within our control to do so (please let us know if you would like us to rectify any of your personal information);
be kept in a form which permits us to identify you, but only for so long as necessary for the purposes for which the personal information was collected or required by an applicable controller; and
be processed securely and in a way that protects against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

How do we process personal information?

If the GDPR applies and we act as a controller, we must have a legal basis to process your personal information. We will process your personal information in accordance with the following legal bases:

Legitimate interests: We will process your personal information for our legitimate interests to allow you to access and use our website, to send you marketing content we think may be of interest to you, to contact you if you leave your contact details with us or if you otherwise initiate contact with us, to review and improve our Services and for our internal business purposes.
Performing a contract: We will rely on performing a contract to process your personal information where we are preparing to enter into a contract with you or we are carrying out our obligations under a contract with you, including where you have entered into a contract with us for our Services or the licensing of our Software.
Legal obligation: We will rely on a legal obligation to process your personal information where we are subject to a legal obligation, including to respond to any illegal activity and for taxation purposes.
Consent: If we need to rely on consent, we will ask for consent to process any of your personal information for that specific purpose before we process your personal information for that purpose.

Upon written request, we may provide you with a list of the third parties we use to process your personal information and the locations of those third parties.

Data retention

If the GDPR applies or we have signed a GDPR compliant data processing agreement, and we act as a processor:

We will only retain your personal information in accordance with the controller’s instructions and we will delete or return your personal information to the controller in accordance with the terms of the applicable data processing agreement.

If the GDPR applies and we act as a controller:

We will only retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.

To determine the appropriate retention period for personal information, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the personal information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your personal information, the purposes for which we process your personal information, whether we can achieve those purposes through other means and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your data: see ‘access, erasure and data portability’ below for further information.

In some circumstances we may anonymise your personal information (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for analytics, research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this anonymised information indefinitely without further notice to you.

Data transfers

The countries to which we send data for the purposes listed above may not have the same data protection laws as the country in which you initially provided the information. If we transfer your personal information to third parties in other countries:

we will perform those transfers in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR (for example, by using the Standard Contractual Clauses as a safeguard); and
we will protect the transferred personal information in accordance with the Privacy Policy, as supplemented by this Appendix.

Countries to which we may transfer personal data include Australia, the Philippines and the United States of America.

Extra rights for EU individuals

Objecting to processing:

You have the right to object to processing of your personal information that is based on our legitimate interests or public interest. If this is done, we must provide compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which overrides your interests, rights and freedoms, in order to proceed with the processing of your personal information.

Restricting processing:

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal information if:

you are concerned about the accuracy of your personal information
you believe your personal information has been unlawfully processed
you need us to maintain the personal information solely for the purpose of a legal claim
we are in the process of considering your objection in relation to processing on the basis of legitimate interests

Access, erasure and data portability:

You may have the right to request details of the personal information we hold about you, or to request that we erase the personal information we hold about you, or that we transfer this information to a third party.

Rectification:

If you believe that any information we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, please contact us using the details below. We will take reasonable steps to promptly correct any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or out of date.

Note that if we are acting as a processor of your personal information, before acting on a rights request we will need to seek the instructions of the relevant Operator.

If the GDPR applies and we act as a controller of your personal information, we will endeavour to respond to your request or inquiry within 30 days.
