Who on our team has access to your data
Access to personal data is restricted to Site administrators and the Data Protection Officer.
How long we retain your data
If a user leaves a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
Mailing list data is retained on MailChimp indefinitely or until such time the user chooses to update preferences or unsubscribe from the mailing list.
User profile data, including that which is collected via registration, profile edits and online purchases, is retained indefinitely or until such time as the user chooses to delete their profile.
User purchase history is retained for a period of seven years to satisfy Australian taxation laws.
IP, server and browser data are retained for a period of between 1-3 months.
What rights you have over your data
If a user has an account on this Site, or has left comments, the said user can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about them, including any data provided to us. The user can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about them. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Data protection
How we protect your data
The Site and its transmissions are protected by Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. This helps to prevent hackers from reading personal information or other data passing to and/or from the Site. A secure link is established when https:// appears at the beginning of the URL or the browser provides confirmation of a secure connection.
Data collected on the Site is hosted with the TechBug Computer Consultants Pty Ltd web hosting company. TechBug supports the use of the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol in the transfer of data where deemed appropriate. Back-ups (full installation) are completed on a frequent basis (usually weekly) and remain intact for two months.
What data breach procedures do we have in place
In the event of a data breach or malware/viral attack, immediate steps will be taken in collaboration with the data host (TechBug Computer Consultants Pty Ltd) to address and resolve the breach and identify perpetrators (if any). In addition, all affected users will be notified by email within seventy-two hours of becoming aware of the breach. Users will be informed of the nature and source of the breach, actions being taken on our behalf (Site administrators and host) to resolve the issue, and actions recommended on your behalf to limit any damage caused and to reinstate required security and protection measures.
What automated decision making and/or profiling we do with user data
Personal information is not used for user profiling or decision making. However, registered users are automatically added to a local points system (myCred) whereby points are earned by activity on the site. Such activity may include online purchases and subscriptions, adding information to profiles, adding comments/reviews and participating in forums. Earning points improves a user’s ranking on directories and permits access to other Site functions and areas.
