RLDatix operates worldwide through subsidiary and affiliate companies. RLDatix is committed to privacy and to transparency in our information practices. This privacy notice describes our collection, use, disclosure and processing of personal information that is collected online via our websites and services provided.
Whenever dealing with one of the group companies, the ‘controller’ of your personal information will be the company that corresponds with details in Schedule A.
Where this notice refers to “we”, “our” or “us” below, unless it mentions otherwise, it is referring to the particular company that is the controller of your personal information.
What is this Notice?
We may collect personal information (defined below) about you, and we are committed to protecting this personal information and your privacy. Set out in this notice is an explanation of how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information.
The key principles of integrity, openness, transparency, and respect for the rights of individuals are elements of this notice which apply to all of our business units globally.

Why do we need this Notice?
This notice sets out the minimum requirements for all our businesses and employees for the confidentiality, security, integrity, and protection of personal information.
Where a jurisdiction in which we operate has regulatory or governance obligations over and above these notice minimums, for that jurisdiction these additional requirements are included in Schedule B.
What Personal Information do we collect?
The principles of data protection are that the amount of personal information which is collected and processed should be limited to what is necessary for the purpose for which the personal information was collected or obtained. We will only collect and use personal information about you that is necessary to provide you with the products and services that you have requested.
The information we collect depends on the nature of our relationship with you. Personal information we may collect includes:

- correspondence (information contained in our correspondence or other communications including surveys with you about our products, services or business);

Regardless of whether we are acting as the data controller or otherwise, we may collect personal information directly from you. This information is provided entirely voluntarily and may be provided by:
Children and adolescents – customers, business partners and media reps?
- our website is aimed exclusively at potential customers, business partners and press representatives.
- persons under the age of 16 should provide any personal information to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.
- we do not request data from children and adolescents who are under the age of sixteen.
Why do we collect your personal information?
This is dependent upon the nature of the relationship we have with you. For example:
- if you are an employee of a company with whom we have a business relationship, we may use your personal information as part of our contractual obligations and in the normal course of doing business with your company;
- if using our websites, we may use the personal information contained in cookies to track the use of our websites;

We collect the above information in order to provide services and products to you, to inform you of services and products we may provide to you and to improve the services and products we provide. Our use of your information may be based on the performance of a contract to which you are party to, which enables us to provide authorised products and /or services to you.
Who do we share your Personal Information with?
We will only disclose or share your personal information in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. As a global company, we may share your information with other business units within RLDatix. They may use your personal information as established in connection with the products and/or services that complement our own range of products and/or services. In some instances, this will include sharing your personal information with third parties such as:
- Service providers engaged by us to assist us in providing services to you. These service providers may include: cloud storage providers, mail-houses, IT system suppliers, auditors, lawyers and marketing agencies;
- Our third-party product and service administrators; *
- Any member of our organisation which includes our ultimate holding company and its subsidiaries (from time to time) as necessary to provide services to you.
* When we use a third-party service provider, we only disclose to them any personal information that is necessary for them to provide their service and we have a contract in place that requires them to keep your information secure and not to use it other than in accordance with our specific instructions.
For information on processors who may be used by RLDatix to process your data, please email privacy@rldatix.com.
How do we keep your Personal Information secure?
We store personal information in secure databases and in secure cloud environments.
We take appropriate security measures to protect such personal information from misuse, interference and loss, as well as unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
We take protection of your personal information and our system security very seriously. Any personal information that is collected, processed or stored will have appropriate safeguards applied in line with our data protection obligations.
We have also designed and implemented controls to minimise loss of, or damage to, your personal information by human error, negligence or malicious intent and engage internal and external auditors to conduct regular, independent assurance exercises across our business to ascertain the effectiveness of our security control environment and our security strategy.
Our employees also protect your personal information whenever they are processing it and undergo regular training on privacy and data protection requirements.
Our security controls are aligned to industry standards and good practice; providing a control environment that effectively manages risks to the confidentiality, integrity and availability of your personal information.
All exchanges of personal information between you and our websites go through secure channels in order to prevent interception of your personal information.
Where we collect any sensitive personal information about your food allergies and health conditions for events and conferences we may host, we will apply additional security controls to protect that data.
Where we have given (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access an account, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.
Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your information transmitted to our website and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your personal information, we put in place reasonable and appropriate controls to ensure that it remains secure against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, or unauthorized access.
How long will we store your Personal Information?
If we collect your personal information, the length of time we retain it is determined by a number of factors including the purpose for which we use that information and our obligations under other laws. We do not retain personal information in an identifiable format for longer than is necessary.
We may need your personal information to establish, bring or defend legal claims. For this purpose, we will always retain your personal information for 7 years after the date it is no longer needed by us for any of the purposes listed under “Why do we collect your personal information”. The only exceptions to this are where:
- the law requires us to hold your personal information for a longer period, or delete it sooner;
- you exercise your right to have the information erased (where it applies in a jurisdiction) and we do not need to hold it in connection with any of the reasons permitted or required under the law; or
- in limited cases, the law permits us to keep your personal information indefinitely provided we put certain protections in place.

Schedule B – Additional requirements (Jurisdiction)
For UK and European Union (EU) residents, the following additional rights apply:
Right to erasure –
(sometimes referred to as ‘the right to be forgotten’). The broad principle underpinning this right is to enable you to request the deletion or removal of personal information whether there is no compelling reason for its continued processing.
Right to restrict processing –
The board principle underpinning this right is to restrict the processing of personal information if one of the following applies:
- the accuracy of the personal information is contested by you, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal information;
- the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal information and requests the restriction of their use instead;
- we no longer need the personal information for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
- you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of us override those of you.
Right of data portability –
You are able to obtain and reuse your personal information for your own purposes across different services by being allowed to move, copy or transfer personal information easily from one IT environment to another.
Right to withdraw consent – where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent to further use of your personal information. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products and/or services to you and/or maintain a business relationship with you. If this is the case, we’ll tell you at the time you ask to withdraw your consent.
Right to be informed – You are entitled to be provided with information about certain matters relating to the processing of your personal information and for that information to be provided within certain timescales.
Right of access – You have the right to obtain: confirmation that your personal information is being processed; access to your personal information
Right to rectification – You are entitled to have your personal information rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to object – The board principle underpinning this right is that you are entitled to object to: processing based on legitimate interests or the performance of a task in the public interest/exercise of official authority (including profiling); direct marketing (including profiling); and processing for purposes of scientific/historical research or statistics.
Rights relating to automated decision-making and profiling – This right doesn’t apply to all circumstances but, where it does apply, it effectively provides you with safeguards against the risk that a potentially damaging decision is taken solely based on automated means, without human intervention, which produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you
For Australian residents, the following additional rights apply globally:
Anonymity and pseudonymity – Individuals dealing with us have the option of being anonymous or using a pseudonym unless we:
- are required or authorised by law or a court or a tribunal order to deal with identified individuals; or
- it is impracticable for us to deal with you if you have not identified yourself.
If we are unable to collect your personal information – In addition to not being able to provide certain products or services to you, the following may also occur:
- we may not be able to provide you with information that you requested; and / or
- we may not be able to offer you employment with us.
Dealing with unsolicited personal information – Generally, most information received by us is immediately and automatically recorded (i.e. most documents received are scanned into an electronic image or online systems used).
Where it becomes apparent that a communication contains unsolicited personal information that could not otherwise lawfully be requested or used, we will make reasonable efforts to delete, destroy or de-identify the record. Where it is impracticable to do this (for example, the unsolicited information is combined with necessary information), the record will be retained, subject to the safeguards detailed in this privacy Notice.
Disclosing your personal information outside of Australia – As part of providing services to you and in our capacity as a service provider, occasionally personal information may be stored or processed at locations outside of Australia.
We may disclose personal information to corporate and third-party suppliers and service providers located overseas. These include IT service providers, and other third party vendor/suppliers located overseas.
Those countries that we may disclose your personal information to that are located outside of Australia, include the United Kingdom, the United States of America and North Macedonia as at the date of this Notice.
Canada
The Canadian Privacy Statutes set the obligation that RLDatix may only collect, use and disclose personal information for purposes that a reasonable person would consider appropriate in the circumstances. Consent is required for the collection, use and disclosure of personal information. Depending on the sensitivity of the personal information, consent may be opt in or opt out.
Each of the Canadian Privacy Statutes also provides individuals with the following:
- A right of access to personal information held by an organization, subject to limited exceptions;
- A right to correct inaccuracies in/update their personal information records; and
- A right to withdraw consent to the use or communication of personal information.
