Policy.

This means that You must take reasonable steps to ensure the individual concerned is aware of and/or consents to the various matters detailed in this Policy, including the fact that their personal information is being collected, the purposes for which that information is being collected, the intended recipients of that information, the individual’s right to obtain access to that information, Safe365’s identity, and how to contact Safe365.

8. DATA HOSTING PROVIDER
Safe365 uses Microsoft Azure as its data hosting provider and hosts the Platform on servers located in Australia and where You are located in the United Kingdom, on servers located in the United Kingdom (with Microsoft Azure). Except where you are located in the United Kingdom (which means Your information will be stored in United Kingdom), if You are a non-Australian resident, this means that Your personal information will be transferred to
Australia. You can review Microsoft Azure’s Privacy Policy to ensure You are happy with it.

By entering Personal Information into the Platform, You consent to that personal information being hosted on servers located in Australia (and where applicable, on servers located in the United Kingdom). While Your personal information will be stored on servers located in Australia or United Kingdom, it will remain within Safe365’s effective control at all times. The data hosting provider’s role is limited to providing a hosting and storage service to
Safe365, and we’ve taken steps to ensure that our data hosting provider does not have access to Your personal information. They do not control and are not permitted to access or use Your personal information, except for the limited purpose of storing the information. This means that, for the purposes of Australian and New Zealand privacy legislation and Australian and New Zealand users, Safe365 does not currently “disclose” personal information to third
parties located overseas. For the avoidance of doubt, where You are located in the United Kingdom (and Your personal information is stored in the United Kingdom), such information will be stored, used and accessed in accordance with General Data Protection Regulations (i.e. GDPR).

If You do not want Your personal information to be transferred to a server located in Australia or, where applicable, in the United Kingdom, You should not provide Safe365 with Your personal information or use the Service.

9. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Safe365 will only disclose the personal information You have provided to us to entities outside the Safe365 group of companies if it is necessary and appropriate to facilitate the purpose for which Your personal information was collected pursuant to this Policy, including the provision of the Platform (including the Service).

Safe365 will not otherwise disclose Your personal information to a third party unless You have provided Your express consent. However, You should be aware that Safe365 may be required to disclose Your personal information without Your consent in order to comply with any court orders, subpoenas, or other legal process or investigation including by tax authorities. Where possible and appropriate, we will notify You if we are required by law to
disclose Your personal information.

10. TRANSFER OF INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTY APPLICATIONS
The Platform may allow You within the relevant subscription to the Platform to transfer Subscriber Materials (and other related information and data), including Your personal information, electronically to and from third-party applications.

We advise the service providers of these third-party applications to protect Your information against unauthorised use or disclosure.

Some of these service providers may be located overseas. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipients of Your personal information do not breach the privacy obligations relating to Your personal information.
We do not provide Your personal information to other organisations for the purposes of direct marketing unless expressly authorised by You.

You are responsible for checking the privacy policy of any such applications so that You can be informed of how they will handle personal information.

11. PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Safe365 is committed to protecting the security of Your personal information and we take all reasonable precautions to protect it from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Your personal information is stored on secure servers that have SSL Certificates issued by leading certificate authorities, and all Subscriber Materials transferred between You, and the Platform is encrypted.

However, the Internet is not in itself a secure environment, and we cannot give an absolute assurance that Your information will be secure at all times. Transmission of personal information over the Internet is at Your own risk.  You should take steps only to enter, or instruct the entering of, personal information to the Service within as secure an environment as possible.

We will advise You at the first reasonable opportunity upon discovering or being advised of a security breach where Your personal information is lost, stolen, accessed, used, disclosed, copied, modified, or disposed of by any unauthorised persons or in any unauthorised manner.

12. ACCESSING AND CORRECTING PERSONAL INFORMATION
It is Your responsibility to ensure that the personal information You provide to us is accurate, complete and up-to-date. You may request access to the information we hold about You, or request that we update or correct any personal information we hold about You, by setting out Your request in writing and sending it to us at support@safe365global.com.

Safe365 will process Your request as soon as reasonably practicable, provided we are not otherwise prevented from doing so on legal grounds. If we are unable to meet Your request, we will let you know why. For example, it may be necessary for us to deny Your request if it would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy or affairs of other individuals, or if it is not reasonable and practicable for us to process Your request in the manner You have requested. In some circumstances, it may be necessary for us to seek to arrange access to Your personal information through a mutually agreed intermediary (for example, the Subscriber).

13. RETENTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We’ll only keep Your personal information for as long as we require it for the purposes of providing You with the Service. However, we may also be required to keep some of Your personal information for specified periods of time, for example under certain laws relating to corporations, money laundering, and financial reporting.

14. USE OF NON-PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE DATA AND COOKIES
By using the Service, You agree that Safe365 can access, aggregate and use non-personally identifiable data Safe365 has collected from You. This data will in no way identify You or any other individual.
