Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data of EU/EEA residents on the following legal bases:

  • Consent: Where you have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
  • Contract: Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or to take steps at your request before entering into a contract
  • Legal obligation: Where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation
  • Legitimate interests: Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided your interests and fundamental rights do not override those interests

Your Rights Under GDPR

As an EU/EEA resident, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:

Right to Access

You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you, along with information about how we use it.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to request correction of any inaccurate personal data we hold about you.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data in certain circumstances.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller.

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

International Data Transfers

As Luster Echo is based in Australia, personal data collected from EU/EEA residents may be transferred to and processed in Australia. Australia has been recognised by the European Commission as providing an adequate level of data protection.

Where we transfer data to other countries, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your personal data in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable laws. When personal data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of your rights under GDPR, please contact us using the details below. We will respond to your request within one month, though this may be extended by two further months for complex requests.

We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. There is generally no fee for exercising your rights, though we may charge a reasonable fee for manifestly unfounded or excessive requests.

Complaints

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. This should be the authority in the EU/EEA member state where you live, work, or where the alleged infringement occurred.

We encourage you to contact us first so we can address your concerns directly.
