  • Expr3ss! provides a simple and readily identifiable means by which the individual may refuse to receive direct marketing from Expr3ss! (a refusal request);

  • Expr3ss! provides a simple and readily identifiable means by which the individual may opt out from receiving direct marketing from Expr3ss! which they had previously consented to receiving (an opt out request); and

  • the individual has not made an opt out or refusal request to Expr3ss! .

Direct marketing, as it relates to sensitive information, will be identical to that set out above for broader personal information, save and except for Expr3ss! obtaining the express consent of the individual concerned to use or disclosure the sensitive information for a particular purpose.

Requirements of the GDPR

Expr3ss! may, on occasion and where reasonable and appropriate, use the personal information of European Residents in direct marketing. Direct marketing may occur by mail, email, SMS or telephone

To the extent that any direct marketing material is transmitted electronically to European Residents, the requirements of the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive (or any equivalent law that may be in place from time to time) will be adhered to. In particular, Expr3ss! will ensure that it has obtained the consent of the European Resident via an opt-in method before the direct marketing material is sent.

Storage and Security of Personal Information

The individual providing the personal information to Expr3ss! must also ensure that the personal information is both relevant and accurate.

We will generally hold your personal information as either physical records, records on our servers, and in some cases, records on third party servers, which may be located overseas.

Expr3ss! will, wherever possible, keep all personal information strictly confidential.

Expr3ss! will take reasonable steps to protect of the personal information it holds, in both hard copy and electronic form, from:

  • misuse, interference and loss; and/or

  • unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

For example, Expr3ss! has in place:

  • data is encrypted in transit and at rest.

  • your personal data is accessible only to registered employees and contractors of the employer via password protected logins.

Expr3ss! has in place systems to manage all personal information so that it is able to destroy or permanently de-identify personal information, wherever reasonable and practicable, that is no longer needed for any reason.

Generally, subject to your right to erasure, personal information retained by Expr3ss! will be stored for as long as Expr3ss! requires it to:

  • fulfil our obligations under law;

  • discharge our contractual obligations;

  •  carry out the purpose for which the personal information was collected; and/or

  • otherwise facilitate the reasonable conduct of our business operations

following which time it will be either destroyed or anonymised.

Expr3ss! reserves the right to retain the personal information of European Residents which it holds for the following purposes indefinitely:

  • archiving purposes in the public interest;

  • scientific or historical research purposes; or

  •  statistical purposes.

Data Breaches

Expr3ss! will manage all data breaches in accordance with the mandatory Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme (NDB Scheme) in Australia, as well as the mandatory notification obligations under the GDPR.

Obligations of Expr3ss! under the NDB Scheme

In accordance with the NDB Scheme, in the event of a suspected data breach Expr3ss! will:

  • contain the breach and, if possible, take remedial action; and

  • commence the requisite assessment process to determine whether the data breach is likely to be an "eligible data breach" for the purposes of the NDB Scheme. An "eligible data breach" being one where:

    ◊ there is unauthorised access to, unauthorised disclosure of, or loss of, personal information held by it;

    ◊ the access, disclosure or loss is likely to result in "serious harm" to any of the individuals to whom the information relates. In this context, "serious harm" refers to serious physical, psychological, emotional, financial or reputational harm to an individual or individuals; and

    ◊ Expr3ss! has not been able to prevent the likely risk of serious harm with remedial action.

If Expr3ss! has reasonable grounds to believe that an "eligible data breach" has occurred, it will:

  • prepare a statement to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as soon as practicable (OAIC Statement);

  • notify the individual to whom the information relates as soon as practicable after the statement has been prepared; and

  • provide that individual with a copy of the OAIC Statement.

If Expr3ss! is unable to locate the individual to whom the eligible data breach relates for the purpose of providing them with a copy of the OAIC Statement, a copy of the OAIC Statement will be posted on our website.

Obligations under the GDPR

In accordance with the GDPR, Expr3ss! will ensure that:

  • on becoming aware of a data breach, it will:

    ◊ attempt to contain it and assess the potential adverse consequences for individuals involved; and

    ◊ if, after conducting an assessment, it considers that:

    † there is a risk to an individual's rights and freedoms as a result of the personal data breach, it will report the breach to the relevant Supervisory Authority without undue delay and, where feasible, not later than 72 hours after becoming aware of the breach; and

    † there is a high risk to an individual's rights and freedoms as a result of the personal data breach, it will report the breach to the relevant Supervisory Authority in accordance with the clause above and notify the individual affected without undue delay.

Expr3ss! will keep a record of all personal data breaches, regardless of whether or not they need to be reported to the Supervisory Authority.

Expr3ss! will not report a personal data breach in the event that, after conducting an assessment, we consider that the risk of harm to an individual's rights and freedoms is unlikely.

A "personal data breach" for the purposes of the GDPR includes, but is not limited to, whenever any personal data is lost, destroyed, corrupted or disclosed; if someone accesses the data or passes it on without proper authorisation; or if the data is made unavailable, for example, when it has been encrypted by ransomware, or accidentally lost or destroyed.

Contracts With Third Party Data Processors

In the event that Expr3ss! engages a data processor to process the personal data of European Residents on its behalf, it will only do so if that data processor has provided Expr3ss! with sufficient guarantees that it will implement appropriate technical, contractual and organisational measures that ensure compliance with the GDPR, and the protection of the personal information of European Residents.

To the extent that Expr3ss! engages a third party data processor, it will ensure that it enters into a written agreement with that data processor, which sets out, as a minimum, terms which require the processor to:

  • only act on the written instructions of Expr3ss! as the data controller;

  • ensure that people processing the data are subject to a duty of confidence;

  • take appropriate measures to ensure the security of processing;

  • only engage sub-processors with the prior consent of Expr3ss! and under a written contract;

  • assist the controller in providing subject access and allowing data subjects to exercise their rights under the GDPR;

  • assist Expr3ss! in meeting its GDPR obligations in relation to the security of processing, the notification of personal data breaches and data protection impact assessments;

  • delete or return all personal data to Expr3ss! as requested at the end of the contract; and

  • submit to audits and inspections, provide Expr3ss! with whatever information it needs to ensure that they are both meeting their Article 28 obligations, and tell Expr3ss! immediately if it is asked to do something infringing the GDPR or other data protection law of the EU or a member state.

Site, or you may request access to your personal information at any time by sending a written request to our Privacy Officer by mail at Expr3ss!

You do not need to provide a reason for your request.

Expr3ss! will not impose a fee for making an access or correction request in the first instance.

Exceptions include where:

  • giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals;

  • the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;

  • the request is manifestly unfounded or excessive (taking into account whether the request is repetitive in nature); or

  • the access would be unlawful.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect about you is accurate, up-to-date and complete, and ensure that the personal information we use or disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete and relevant. You are free to update your personal information at any time by sending a written request to our Privacy Officer by mail at Expr3ss! Pty Ltd ACN 102 229 961 Suite 2101, 2 Dind Street, Milsons Point NSW 2061, Australia, or by using the contact form on the Expr3ss! Site. There is no cost for updating your information.

If we are unable to provide you with access to your information, or make any amendments which you have requested, we will provide you with written reasons for our refusal within a reasonable time period.

Additional Rights Of European Residents Under The GDPR

In addition to the protections afforded under the Privacy Act and the APPs, if you are a European Resident, you have a number of additional rights under the GDPR, including:

  • the right to receive personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format, including the right to request that we transmit this data directly to another data controller;

  • the right to restrict the processing of your personal data in certain circumstances. This means that you can limit the way that we use your data (this right is an alternative to requesting the erasure of your data); and

  • the right to require us to erase your data in certain circumstances.

In the event that a European Resident requests that their data be erased, Expr3ss! will assess this request against any relevant record keeping obligations it has under any statute or regulation, and retains the right to seek professional advice in respect of any conflict of law issues that might arise as a result of the initial assessment before the European Resident's request for erasure is granted.

  • the foreign jurisdiction governing a third party has been assessed as "adequate" in terms of data protection in accordance with the GDPR; and/or

  • sufficient safeguards (such as a binding contract or corporate rules or any other safeguards prescribed by the GDPR) have been put in place; or

  • a derogation or exception as listed in the GDPR applies.
