• to our related companies, suppliers, consultants, contractors or agents for the primary proposes for which it was collected or for other purposes directly related to the purpose for which the personal information is collected. For example, your name and telephone number may be disclosed to our supplier to enable that supplier to respond to your request for information about a particular product;

Where the Privacy Act permits us to do so, we may also disclose your credit related information (in respect of commercial credit) to CRBs , if you apply for commercial credit or request to increase in your commercial credit limit with .

Where FSTP collects information that we are likely to disclose to a CRB, please note:

• the CRBs may include that information in reports provided to assist it to assess your creditworthiness;
• if you fail to meet payment obligations in relation to commercial credit or commit a serious credit infringement, FSTP  may be entitled to disclose this to the CRB;

We do not disclose your personal information for any secondary purposes unless your consent has been given or as required by law, and we will not sell or license any personal information that we collect from you.

If FSTP uses this information in a manner different than the purpose for which it was collected, then FSTP will ask for your consent prior to such use.

FSTP processes personal information on its servers in The Netherlands, and you consent to your personal information being processed and in that location. The Website is not hosted in Australia. For that reason, we transfer all data on the website (including all personal information) to our hosting service provider in the United States of America. You hereby consent to this transfer.

Information security

FSTP takes appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorised access to or unauthorised alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. These include internal reviews of FSTP’s data collection, storage and processing practices and security measures, including appropriate encryption and physical security measures to guard against unauthorised access to systems where FSTP stores personal data.

If a substantial data breach has or may have occurred (for example, your personal information was shared with unauthorised persons) we will notify you as soon as is practicable.

We only keep your personal information for as long as it is required for the purpose for which it was collected or as otherwise required by law. We will take appropriate measures to destroy or permanently de-identity your personal information if we no longer need to retain it.  These measures may vary depending on the type of information concerned, the way it was collected and how it was stored.

Accessing and updating personal information

When you use the Services, FSTP makes good faith efforts to provide you with access to your personal information and either to correct this data if it is inaccurate or to delete such data at your request if it is not otherwise required to be retained by law or for legitimate business purposes.  

FSTP asks individual users to identify themselves and the information requested to be accessed, corrected or removed before processing such requests, and FSTP may decline to process requests that are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, require disproportionate costs and/or technical effort, jeopardise the privacy of others, or would be extremely impractical (for instance, requests concerning information residing on backup tapes), or for which access is not otherwise required.   Because of the way FSTP maintains certain Services in connection with the Website, after you delete your information, residual copies may take a period of time before they are deleted from FSTP’s active servers and may remain in FSTP’s backup systems.

Complaints

When FSTP receives formal written complaints, it is FSTP’s policy to contact the complaining user regarding his or her concerns. 

Marketing and Opting-Out

We may use your personal information for:

• promoting and marketing of our current and future products and services;
• informing you of upcoming events and special promotions and offers; and
• analysing our products and services so as to improve and develop new products and services.

We may exchange your personal information between our related entities and so they can also assist in the marketing of our products and services to you.

We will only offer you products or services, where we reasonably believe that they could be of interest or benefit to you.

At the point we collect information from you, you may be asked to “opt in” to consent to us using or disclosing your personal information.  You will generally be given the opportunity to “opt out” from receiving marketing communications from us.  You may “opt out” from receiving these communications by clicking on an unsubscribe link at the end of an email or by contacting us with this request.

Specific Rights of European Residents

FSTP is committed to ensuring its compliance with the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (‘GDPR’).

Personal Data is defined as: “Any information relating to an identifiable person who can be directly or indirectly identified in particular by reference to an identifier”.  

Under the GDPR, FSTP is primarily a “controller” of Personal Data, as opposed to being a “processor”. As part of its GDPR compliance, FSTP provides its services in a way that ensures:

• Personal Data (i.e. Personal Information) is:

1. processed fairly, lawfully and in a transparent manner; and
2. collected and processed only for specified and lawful purposes.

• Processed Personal Data (i.e. Personal Information that is used, held or disclosed by FSTP) is:

1. adequate, relevant and not excessive;
2. accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date;
3. kept secure, and not longer than necessary;
4. not transferred to countries outside the European Union without adequate protection; and
5. treated in accordance with individuals’ legal rights.

Whilst FSTP strives to provide all individuals with appropriate access and control over their data, individuals covered by the GDPR are also able to:

prescriptively restrict, limit or otherwise provide instructions to FSTP regarding how we can use their Personal Data. This includes being able to object to how and why their Personal Data is used (e.g. by the removal of their consent for particular functions);

request the erasure (i.e. deletion) of their information; and

request FSTP provides all Personal Data held about them in a portable format, meaning in a way that is structured, commonly used and machine-readable. Individuals who exercise this right to data portability are also able to direct FSTP to transmit this data to other entities who they intend to allow to process their Personal Data.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

FSTP may amend or vary this Privacy Policy from time to time by publishing the amended Privacy Policy on the Website.
