Cross-Border Disclosure

Our business is located within Australia and does not routinely disclose your personal information to overseas recipients. However, in the course of providing our services, we may use secure remote protocols (such as RDP or SSH) to access your devices or systems located outside Australia, at your request or as necessary for support. In these cases, your personal information remains under our control and is not transferred or stored overseas, except as required for the remote session. We take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled securely and in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles during any such remote access.

International Privacy Frameworks

While our business is based in Australia and primarily complies with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles, we recognise that international privacy standards may apply in certain circumstances. When required, we will take steps to align our privacy practices with relevant international frameworks such as the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Privacy Framework. This may include enhanced data protection measures, transparency, and individual rights, particularly if we process personal data of individuals located in the EU or where clients require adherence to these standards as part of our service delivery.

Data Storage and Security

Data Retention and Deletion

Personal information is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law. When no longer required, we securely delete or de-identify your personal information.

Access and Correction

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if it is inaccurate, incomplete, or outdated. Please contact us at infoupdate@bensbestbytes.com to make such requests. We will respond within a reasonable period and take reasonable steps to correct the information.

Anonymity

Where possible, you may interact with us anonymously or using a pseudonym. However, in some cases, it may not be practical for us to provide services without certain personal information.

Data Breaches

If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required by law.

Complaints

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or wish to make a complaint, please contact us at privacypolicy@bensbestbytes.com. We take privacy concerns seriously and will respond promptly to your enquiry.
