04

Collection, holding, using and disclosing of personal information

When we collect, hold, use, and disclose personal or sensitive information it must be done through lawful and fair means. Consent must be obtained to collect, hold, use and disclose personal information. We are not required to obtain your consent to collect, hold, use of disclose your personal or sensitive information if the collection is required or authorised by or under an Australian law or a court/tribunal order. There are other exceptions to the requirement of obtaining your consent in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. If you would like more information on these requirements, please contact our Privacy Officer.

Faybl use a variety of formats for the collection of personal and sensitive information. These include (but are not limited to):

In every circumstance we will attempt to obtain such personal and sensitive information directly from you. If that is unreasonable or impracticable, we will attempt to obtain such information from other sources in accordance with applicable privacy principles.

You should only provide us with someone else's personal information where you have their express consent to do so and it is for the purpose of us providing services to you. In providing such information you agree that you have obtained the relevant consent and are authorised to do so.

There may be circumstances where we are provided with personal information which we did not actively seek. In such situations, our Privacy Officer will make a determination on whether we could have obtained the information lawfully. If the information was not lawfully obtained it will be destroyed or de-identified.

Security of personal information

Safeguarding the privacy of your information is important to us. We hold personal information in a combination of secure cloud-based computer storage facilities in Australia, but in some cases it may be held offshore in Singapore, United States and other countries, and take steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, loss, interference, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Faybl trains its employees and consultants carefully on handling personal information and confidentiality of such information. Once we have no purpose for holding your personal information, we will take all reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify the information.

Disclosure of personal information overseas

Faybl can operate through a network of contractors and alliance firms, both in Australia and overseas, which assist in delivering requested services to clients.

Such overseas disclosure could include but not be limited to service providers located in India, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Germany, China, Canada, Indonesia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.

Disclosure to third party service providers

Faybl utilises third party providers (such as IT providers and market researchers) for its business and to deliver services to you.

General Data Protection Regulation (European Union)

This section applies if the GDPR (Regulation (EU) 2016/679) applies to our dealings with you, including because we provide services to you and you reside in the European Union.

Where the GDPR applies, we confirm that we will comply with our obligations under the same and you have all of the additional rights set out in the GDPR. We will store your Personal Information for the period we require it to provide services to you, and generally for a period of 7 years after the end of our engagement.

Where you have consented to the processing and use of your Personal Information, you may withdraw such consent at any time. You have a right to require us to erase, restrict, or port your Personal Information as allowed under applicable GDPR articles.

We will transfer your Personal Information outside of the European Union where you have expressly consented in writing or it is necessary for the performance of a contract with you. Note that New Zealand and Canada are recognised by the European Union as offering adequate data protection, but currently Australia is not.

05

Use of Third-Party APIs and User Data

Our application may integrate with third-party APIs to provide features and services that users have explicitly requested. We do not use any data obtained through these integrations to develop, improve, or train generalised artificial intelligence (AI) or machine learning (ML) models.

All user data obtained via these APIs is used strictly for the purpose of delivering our core services and functionality, and is handled in accordance with applicable privacy laws and platform-specific policies (such as Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements where applicable).
