Data Protection and Privacy Compliance Statement

Ⅰ. Introduction

We prioritise the protection of personal information and strive to comply with the relevant Australian privacy and data protection laws during our operations. This statement aims to outline the fundamental principles, user rights, and platform responsibilities under the Australian data protection framework to help you understand how your personal information is processed.

Ⅱ. Legal Framework and Objectives

In Australia, the collection, use, and disclosure of personal information are primarily governed by:

  • Privacy Act 1988

  • Australian Privacy Principles (APPs)

The key objectives of this legal framework include:

  • Granting individuals the right to access and control their personal information

  • Enhancing transparency and fairness in data processing activities

  • Reducing the risk of misuse or unauthorised access to personal data

Ⅲ. Scope of This Policy

This data protection policy applies to:

  • Business activities conducted within Australia

  • Data processing related to providing goods or services to Australian users

  • Personal information processing related to websites, applications, or customer support services

It does not generally apply to activities solely for personal or household use.

Ⅳ. Principles of Data Processing

When processing personal data, we adhere to the following principles:

  • Lawfulness and Transparency: Information is collected and used in a lawful, transparent manner, with clear communication to users.

  • Purpose Limitation: Personal data is processed only for legitimate, specific business purposes.

  • Data Minimisation: We strive to collect only necessary information, limiting the scope of data collected.

  • Accuracy: We make reasonable efforts to maintain the accuracy and currency of data.

  • Storage Limitation: We retain personal data for no longer than is necessary for business or legal purposes.

  • Security: Reasonable technical and organisational measures are in place to protect data.

Ⅴ. User Rights

Under Australian privacy laws, users may have the following rights under certain circumstances:

  • Request access to personal information held by us

  • Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data

  • Request deletion or restriction of data under applicable legal conditions

  • Raise concerns or object to specific data processing activities

To exercise these rights, users may submit a request via the platform’s provided contact details.

Ⅵ. Platform Responsibilities

In processing personal information, we undertake to:

  • Process data based on business needs and legal requirements

  • Implement reasonable security measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to mitigate risks

  • Evaluate potential data security incidents and take corrective actions when necessary

  • Maintain necessary records related to data processing activities

Additional measures, if required, will be assessed based on the specific situation and legal requirements.

Ⅶ. Cross-Border Data Processing

In some instances, personal information may be stored or processed outside Australia.

If this occurs, we will take appropriate measures to ensure that the data is still adequately protected and handled in compliance with Australian privacy laws.

Ⅷ. Regulatory Oversight and Compliance Consequences

In Australia, privacy compliance is monitored by relevant regulatory authorities.

Failure to adhere to privacy laws may result in investigations, rectification actions, or other legal consequences, depending on the nature and severity of the violation.

Ⅸ. Importance of Compliance

For users, compliance ensures:

  • Greater awareness of how personal information is used

  • Enhanced trust in online services

For the platform, it:

  • Mitigates compliance risks
