Although the Platform only looks to include quality, safe and relevant external links users should always adopt a policy of caution before clicking any external web links mentioned throughout the Platform.
The Platform may, from time to time, contain links to and from the websites of our distributors, partners, partner networks, sponsors, advertisers and affiliates. If you follow a link to any of these websites, please note that these websites have their own privacy policies and that we do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies. Please check these policies before you submit any personal data to these websites.

10. Social Media Platforms

Communication, engagement and actions taken through external social media platforms that we participate on are subject to the terms and conditions, as well as the privacy policies, of those social media platforms.

11. Where do we store personal data?

The personal data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, locations outside Australia. It may also be processed by staff operating outside the Australia who work for Neuro or for one of our suppliers or service providers.
Countries where personal data relating to you may be stored and/or processed, or where recipients of personal data relating to you may be located, may have data protection laws which differ from the data protection laws in your country of residence.

By submitting your personal data, you accept that personal data relating to you may be transferred, stored or processed in this way. We will take all appropriate steps to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy.

12. How do we protect personal data?

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the Internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect personal data relating to you, we cannot guarantee the security of such data and any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received personal data relating to you, we use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

All information you provide to Neuro is stored on secure servers. Any payment transactions carried out by us or our chosen third-party provider of payment processing services will be encrypted using industry-standard encryption technologies when transferring or receiving personal data, such as SSL technology. The safety and security of your information and any personal data relating to you also depends on you. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password that enables you to access certain parts of the Platform and/or the Services, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share your password with anyone.

Neuro takes steps to destroy or de-identify personal data information that is no longer required for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed by us and that we are no longer required by law to retain.

13. Your rights

You have the right to access personal data held relating to you. To protect your privacy, we may take steps to verify your identity before taking any action in response to any request. You will not have to pay a fee to access personal information relating to you (or to exercise any of the other rights). However, we may charge a reasonable fee if your request for access is excessive. Alternatively, we may refuse to comply with the request in such circumstances.
We also want to make sure that personal data relating to you that we hold is accurate and up to date. You may ask us to correct or remove any information you think is inaccurate.
You also have the right, in certain circumstances, to:

• the erasure of personal data relating to you that we hold;
• the restriction of processing of personal data relating to you that we hold; and
• object to our processing of personal data relating to you that we hold; and
• the portability of personal data relating to you that we hold.

14. Requests
Requests in this section should be sent by email or by writing to us using the contact details set out at the end of this policy.

We will only send you marketing material if you consent. When you have consented to marketing material, you have the right at any time to ask us not to process personal data relating to you for marketing purposes. You can exercise your right to prevent such processing by unchecking certain boxes or unsubscribing on the marketing emails we send you. You can also exercise the right at any time by sending an email or by writing to us using the contact details set out at the end of this policy.

If you have a concern about the way we are collecting or using your personal information, we request that you raise your concern with us in the first instance at privacy@neuroecosystem.com.
