1.     What is personal information?

In this Privacy Policy, 'personal information' has the meaning set out in the Privacy Act. In general terms, personal information is information (whether fact or opinion) about an individual who is identified or reasonably identifiable.  Personal information generally corresponds with 'personal data' as defined in the GDPR.

Some types of personal information are designated as 'sensitive information', which are subject to additional protection under the Privacy Act.  Sensitive information generally corresponds with 'special category data' as defined in the GDPR.

When we refer to the collection, use, disclosure, storage and handling of personal information in this Privacy Policy, we mean any operation or set of operations that is performed on personal information, whether or not by automated means. This corresponds with 'processing' as defined in the GDPR.

2.     What types of personal information do we collect?

The types of personal information we may collect about you include:

• any other personal information requested by us and/or provided by you or a third party.

Generally, we will not collect sensitive information about you. However, in certain circumstances, we may need to collect limited sensitive information.

We also collect technical information and general analytics, such as:

To the extent the GDPR applies, the third party will only process your personal information following written instructions from us. We require that the third party either comply with the GDPR or another mechanism set out by applicable EU or Swiss data protection laws to transfer and process personal information.

9.     EU-specific terms

Our responsibilities as a ‘controller’ under the GDPR

Controllers are defined by the GDPR as natural or legal persons, a public authority, agency or other body to which personal information or personal information has been disclosed, whether via a third party or not, and who determines the purposes and means of processing personal information. We are a controller under the GDPR as we collect, use and store your personal information to enable us to provide you with our goods and/or services.

As a controller, we have certain obligations under the GDPR when collecting, storing and using the personal data of EU citizens. If you are an EU citizen, 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 data’ clause above and personal data 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 data 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 correct 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;
• be processed securely and in a way that protects against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage.

Where appropriate, we also apply these principles to the way we collect, store and use the personal information of our Australian customers or clients.

Specifically, we have the following measures in place, in accordance with the GDPR:

• Data protection policies: We have internal policies in place that set out where and how we collect personal information, how it is stored and where it goes after we get it to protect your personal information.
• Notification of data breaches: We will comply with the GDPR in respect of any data breach.

Your rights and controlling your personal data

• Choice and consent: Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. If you are under 16 years of age, you must have; and warrant to the extent permitted by law to us that you have, your parent or legal guardian’s permission to access and use the Site and they (your parents or guardian) have consented to you providing us with your personal information. You do not have to provide personal information to us; however, if you do not, it may affect your use of this Site or the products and/or services offered on or through it.
• Information from third parties: If we receive personal information about you from a third party, we will protect it as set out in this Privacy Policy. If you are a third party providing personal information about somebody else, you represent and warrant that you have such person’s consent to provide the personal information to us.
• Right to ask us to restrict data processing: You may ask us to limit the processing of your personal information where you believe that the personal information we hold about you is wrong (to give us enough time to verify if the information needs to be changed), or where processing personal information is unlawful, and you request us to restrict the processing of personal information rather than it being erased. If you ask us to restrict how we process your personal information, we will let you know how the restriction affects your use of our Site or products and services.
• Right to access and data portability: You may request details of the personal information we hold about you. You may request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.  Where possible, we will provide this information in CSV format or another easily readable machine format. You may request that we erase the personal information we hold about you at any time. You may also request that we transfer this personal information to another third party (data portability).

We will take reasonable steps to correct any information found to be inaccurate, incomplete, misleading or out of date.
• Right to ask us to erase your personal data: You may ask us to erase personal information we hold about you.
• Right to withdraw content: You may withdraw your consent at any time where we have relied on your consent to process your personal information.
• Complaints: If you believe that we have breached the an article of the GDPR and wish to make a complaint, please contact us using the details below and provide us with full details of the alleged breach. 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 to deal with your complaint.  You also have the right to contact your relevant supervisory authority if you wish to make a complaint.

10.     Storage and security

We are committed to ensuring that the personal information we collect is secure. To prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the personal information and protect it from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

We cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to or by us over the Internet. The transmission and exchange of data is carried out at your own risk. Although we take measures to safeguard against unauthorised disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that the personal information we collect will not be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

Please notify Vintrace immediately if you become aware of any breach of security.

Where a breach of security gives rise to a 'data breach', being an incident when personal information, in any format, held by an agency or organisation is lost or subjected to unauthorised access, modification, disclosure or other misuse or interference, Vintrace will comply with its obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme under the Privacy Act.

11.     Retention

Generally, we will retain your personal information for the period necessary for the purposes for which your personal information was collected (as outlined in this Privacy Policy) unless an extended retention period is required by law or if it is reasonably necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations, resolve a dispute or maintain security.

12.     Links to other websites

Our Site may contain links to other websites. We do not have any control over those websites, and we are not responsible for the protection and privacy of any personal information you provide while visiting those websites. Those websites are not governed by this Privacy Policy.

13.     Exemptions

Where applicable laws allow for an exemption to comply with certain legal obligations (for example, the employee records exemption under the Privacy Act in Australia), Vintrace may rely on such an exemption.

This Privacy Policy will not apply to the extent that it is inconsistent with any applicable law.

14.     Amendments

At any time and at our discretion, we may vary this Privacy Policy by publishing the amended Privacy Policy on our Site. We recommend you check our Site regularly to ensure you are aware of our current Privacy Policy.
