9. Specific rights of European residents 

‘JBX’ is committed to ensuring its compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’).  

Although our Privacy Policy explains how ‘JBX’ meets all of its obligations for Australian individuals, ‘JBX’ may also have some individuals who are habitually located in the European Union (‘EU Residents’) that have additional rights in respect of their Personal Data. 

Personal Data is defined as: “Any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier”.  This should be considered fundamentally interchangeable with the Australian expression “Personal Information” for the purposes of this Privacy Policy. 

Under the GDPR, ‘JBX’ is primarily a “controller” of Personal Data, as opposed to being a “processor”. As part of its GDPR compliance, ‘JBX’ provides its services in a way that ensures: 

  • Personal Data (i.e. Personal Information) is: 
  • processed fairly, lawfully and in a transparent manner; and 
  • collected and processed only for specified and lawful purposes.  
  • Processed Personal Data (i.e. Personal Information that is used, held or disclosed by ‘JBX’) is: 
  • adequate, relevant and not excessive; 
  • accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; 
  • kept secure, and not longer than necessary; 
  • not transferred to countries outside the European Union without adequate protection; and 
  • treated in accordance with individuals’ legal rights. 

Whilst ‘JBX’ strives to provide all individuals with appropriate access and control over their data, individuals covered by the GDPR are also able to: 

  • prescriptively restrict, limit or otherwise provide instructions to ‘JBX’ regarding how we can use their Personal Data. This includes being able to object to how and why their Personal Data is used (e.g. by the removal of their consent for particular functions); 
  • request the erasure (i.e. deletion) of their information; and 
  • request ‘JBX’ provides all Personal Data held about them in a portable format, meaning in a way that is structured, commonly used and machine-readable. Individuals who exercise this right to data portability are also able to direct ‘JBX’ to transmit this data to other entities who they intend to allow to process their Personal Data. 

‘JBX’ will allow and assist individuals that are EU Residents to exercise these rights, unless we have compelling and legitimate legal grounds not to (e.g. a legal obligation under Australian legislation, or if the Personal Data has been fully anonymised). 

10. Accurate and up-to-date information  

We take reasonable steps to ensure your personal information is accurate, up-to-date and not misleading by updating its records whenever true and correct changes to the data come to its attention.  

If you believe your information is incorrect, incomplete or not current, you can request that we update this information by contacting our Privacy Officer. To contact our Privacy Officer please see contact details below in paragraph 16. 

We will correct information we hold about you if we discover, or you are able to show to a reasonable standard, the information is incorrect. If you seek correction and we disagrees that the information is incorrect, we will provide you with its reasons for taking that view.  

We disregard information that seems likely to be inaccurate or out-of-date by reason of the time that has elapsed since it was collected or by reason of any other information in our possession. 

11. Access to your personal information 

We acknowledges that you have a general right of access to information concerning you, and to have inaccurate information corrected. You are able to access the personal information we hold about you by contacting our Privacy Officer. If access is refused to your personal information for reasons permitted by the Privacy Act, we will give you a notice explaining our decision to the extent practicable and your options. 

To contact our Privacy Officer please see contact details below. If you make an access request, we may ask you to verify your identity and put your request in writing for security reasons.  We may charge a reasonable administration fee to cover the costs of meeting your request. We will reply to your request for access within 30 days of notification by you.  

12. Dealing with unsolicited information  

We take all reasonable steps to ensure that all unsolicited information is destroyed or de-identified immediately.  

13. Anonymity when dealing with us 

Only where it practicable to do so, we may allow you the option not to identify yourself when dealing with us.  

14. Collecting sensitive information 

JBX does not collect sensitive information, unless it is specifically relevant and necessary for the purpose of our business activities and functions, and your consent is first obtained. All sensitive information that is collected is used in accordance with this privacy policy. 

15. Government identifiers  

We do not use government identifiers (e.g. tax file numbers or Medicare numbers) to identify individuals. 

16. Transfer of ownership 

As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganisation, dissolution or similar event, your Personal Information may be part of the transferred assets. You acknowledge and agree that any successor to or acquirer of our business (or its assets) will continue to have the right to use your Personal Information in accordance with the terms of this Privacy Policy. 

17. Complaints and disputes  

If you have reason to believe that we have not complied with our obligations relating to your personal information under this Privacy Policy or under the Privacy Act, please refer any compliant to queries to our Privacy Officer (details below).  

We will ensure your compliant is handled by our Privacy Officer in an appropriate and reasonable manner. Were necessary we may consult with our related entities and partners in order to deal with your complaint. A written notice of our decision regarding your complaint will be provided to you.
