How long we retain your data?
Data retention in the modern world is challenging, and we face this challenge head-on by understanding our digital landscape and footprint.
Where we make use of third-party services in order to provide services to you, the information stored on those third-party systems are subject to the retention policies of those third parties, who may also leverage third parties. We implement guardrails for this scenario where we prioritise third party services that retain data within Australia, selecting third parties with security in-mind, and ensuring the data is retained only for as long as it is required. We follow this same principle but also acknowledge that your information may be processed or stored in jurisdictions outside of your own with different laws applicable.
What rights you have over your data?
What rights an individual has under the Privacy Act can be reviewed by resources made available by the Australian Government Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
You can request that we erase any personal data we hold about you by contacting contact@lokusec.com. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes. We may need to verify your identity before implementing the request.
You also have the option of not identifying yourself, stop receiving unwanted direct marketing, ask for personal information to be corrected or make a complaint. To action any of these requests, please contact us at contact@lokusec.com.
