Overseas Disclosure

Personal information which we collect, and hold is stored within our locally housed data servers in Amazon Web Server Sydney Australia. We utilise some cloud-based service providers for specific functions such as email and accounts, who may store certain information on our behalf on servers based in the USA.

Some of the third parties with whom we share personal information may be located outside Australia. While such third parties will often be subject to privacy and confidentiality obligations, you accept that where lawful, such obligations may differ from and be less stringent than the requirements of the privacy laws of Australia.

For UK/EU Residents, this means that your personal data will almost certainly be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”) when it is provided to us as we are based in Australia. Where your personal data is transferred by us to anyone else, it will only be done with relevant protections in place; i.e. to countries that have been identified as providing adequate protection for EEA data, or to a third party where we have approved transfer mechanisms in place to protect your personal data if applicable – i.e., by entering into the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, or by ensuring the entity is Privacy Shield certified (for transfers to US-based third parties).

Choices About How We Use and Disclose Your Personal Information

We strive to provide you with choices regarding the personal information you provide to us. We have created mechanisms to provide you with the following control over your information:

Tracking Technologies and Advertising. You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when cookies are being sent. To learn how you can manage your Flash cookie settings, visit the Flash player settings page on Adobe’s website. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this site may then be inaccessible or not function properly.
Promotional Offers from the Company. If you do not wish to have your email address used by the Company to promote our own or third parties’ products or services, you can opt out by checking the relevant box located on the form on which we collect your data or at any other time by sending us an email stating your request to [email protected]. If we have sent you a promotional email, you may unsubscribe by clicking the link marked ‘Unsubscribe’ at the bottom of any marketing email received from EZ SMILE and follow the prompts to unsubscribe. This opt out does not apply to information provided to the Company because of a product purchase, warranty registration, product service experience, or other transactions.

We do not control third parties’ collection or use of your personal information to serve interest-based advertising. However, these third parties may provide you with ways to choose not to have your personal information collected or used in this way. You can opt out of receiving targeted ads from members of the Network Advertising Initiative (“NAI”) on the NAI’s website. You may use the NAI opt-out tool here.

Rights of UK/EU residents

UK/EU Residents also have the following additional rights under the GDPR:

the right to request that we erase their personal data (right to be forgotten).
the right to obtain a copy of their personal data on request (as below).
the right to transfer their personal data to another person or entity (right of data portability).
the right to restrict or object to processing, or withdraw consent to processing; and
the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (see below).

Please contact us if you have any enquiries in relation to the above.

Accessing and Correcting Your Information and Making Complaints

You can review and change your personal information by logging into the Website and visiting your account profile page.

You may also send us an email at [email protected] to request access to, correct, or delete any personal information that you have provided to us, or if you have a privacy related query or complaint. We cannot delete your personal information except by also deleting your user account. Any request to change information will be handled in accordance with the rights and obligations contained in the Act.

In relation to any complaints, we will treat your complaint confidentially, investigate your complaint and aim to ensure that we contact you and that your complaint is resolved within a reasonable time or the time required by the Act or GDPR, as applicable.

If we are unable to satisfactorily resolve your concerns or complaint, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (see website at www.oaic.gov.au), or the local regulator in your jurisdiction in Europe, as applicable.

How long do we keep your Personal Information?

Except if your information is required to be retained by law, we will hold your personal information for as long as you retain an account with us, or until you notify us that you no longer wish to hold your account or until you request that we erase your data.

We are required to keep some of your information for certain periods of time under applicable law, for example for 7 years or otherwise for the provision of legal services. We may also need to retain certain personal information after we cease providing our services to enforce our terms, for audit or insurance purposes, to identify or resolve legal claims and/or for proper record keeping.

Data Security

We have implemented measures designed to secure your personal information from accidental loss and from unauthorised access, use, alteration, and disclosure. Any payment transactions and passwords will be encrypted.

Once we receive your personal information, we take appropriate steps that we believe are reasonable to protect the security of your data on our system, both internally and from outsiders, and to ensure the integrity of the data we collect. We use a combination of technological and policy methods to protect this data. We work to protect the security of all information by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an advanced encryption technology. We do not maintain or reveal your credit card numbers after your order is processed. It is important for you to protect against unauthorised use of your password and computer. If you use this Website, you are responsible for keeping your account number and password confidential. You agree to accept all responsibility for all activities or transactions on your account when your account number and password are in use. Please be aware that we will never ask you for your password in an unsolicited phone call or e-mail.

The safety and security of your personal information also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password for access to certain parts of our Website, 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 do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your personal information transmitted to our Website. Any transmission of personal information is at your own risk. We are not responsible for circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures contained on the Website.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

It is our policy to post any changes we make to our privacy policy on this page. If we make material changes to how we treat our users’ personal information, we will notify you through a notice on the Website home page. The date the privacy policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page. You are responsible for ensuring we have an up-to-date active and deliverable email address for you, and for periodically visiting our Website and this privacy policy to check for any changes.
