Your Rights Under GDPR
If you are a resident of the EU or EEA, you have the following rights:
Right of Access
You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you. We will provide this information free of charge within one month of receiving your request.
Right to Rectification
You have the right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal data or complete any incomplete personal data we hold about you.
Right to Erasure
You have the right to request that we delete your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when the data is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or when you withdraw consent.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when you contest the accuracy of the data or when you object to processing based on legitimate interests.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller.
Right to Object
You have the right to object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes. We will stop processing unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
Rights Related to Automated Decision Making
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or significantly affects you.
International Data Transfers
Bold Branch is based in Australia. When we transfer personal data from the EU/EEA to Australia or other countries, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data. These may include:
- Standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission
- Binding corporate rules
- Other legally recognised transfer mechanisms
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected. Retention periods vary depending on the nature of the data and the purposes of processing. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
Exercising Your Rights
To exercise any of your rights under GDPR, please contact us using the details provided above. We will respond to your request within one month. In complex cases, this period may be extended by two additional months, and we will inform you of any such extension.
We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to ensure the security of your personal data.
Complaints
If you believe that your data protection rights have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.
