This Privacy Policy details how we comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles, and the EU General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (GDPR), which govern the collection, storage, use, and disclosure of your information and data.

We may update the privacy policy from time to time at our sole discretion. Any variations become effective on posting the updated privacy policy and we shall have no obligation to provide you with individual notice of such changes.

This privacy policy describes how and when Bolster collects, uses and shares your information when you use our Services.

The information we collect can be broken down into the following types:

‘Personal Information’ means information that can be used to personally identify you such as your name, email address, contact number, profile pictures, and payment details.

• Log Data
  When you use our Website, we may receive information (“Log Data”) such as your IP address, device information (including device and application IDs) and search terms. Bolster uses Log Data to provide, understand, and improve our Services.

We pride ourselves on offering customised Services that are tailored to your specific business needs. In the course of providing the Services, we may request anonymised data in connection with your business including but not limited to point of sale transactions, customer demographics, marketing statistics etc (“Client Data”). You warrant that you have gained all necessary consents to share such data with us, and that data is provided in an anonymised form so that it cannot be used to reasonably identify any person. All Client Data must be sent through our secure encryption technology.

Legitimate purposes that you agree we may use your Personal Data for include but are not limited to the following:

• to confirm your identity;
• to provide the Services to you;
• to respond to requests submitted by you;
• to process any payment made by you in connection with the Services;
• to improve the functionality of the Services;
• to prevent, detect and investigate potential illegal activities, security breaches and fraud;
• to contact you via email to provide you with periodical promotional emails about new products or other information which we think you may find interesting, only where you have opted in to receiving such communication and until you ‘opt out’.

For the avoidance of doubt, we will only use your Personal Data for purposes that you would reasonably expect us to use your Personal Data for in connection with providing the Services to you, or where we are required by law to collect your Personal Data. We will not sell, rent, or licence your email address or any of your Personal Data.

‘Opt Out’
We recognise your right under the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and the GDPR to opt out from direct marketing, and as such these consents can be modified at any time by emailing us at [insert email] or clicking unsubscribe on any direct marketing communications.

We do not disclose your private personal information except in the limited circumstances described here.

You agree and consent to us disclosing your Personal Data to:

• employees, contractors, and officers of Bolster and its Related Bodies Corporate (as that term is defined in the Corporactions Act 2001 (Cth));
• authorities, including police, regulators or as otherwise required by law;
  third party professional agencies who have been engaged by Bolster to assist in the provision of the Services, including but not limited to legal, financial, and marketing advisors.

For the avoidance of doubt, all employees, consultants, contractors and agents of ours are bound by Australian privacy laws.

You can withdraw your consent for us to share your Personal Data with third parties at any time by emailing us at info@blstr.co, but please note that withdrawal of such consents may affect your ability to access and use the Services.

When using any of our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, manipulation, storage, disclosure and other uses of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. We may share or disclose your information at your direction, such as authorizing a third-party web client or application to provide Bolster with access to your information, or vice versa.

• In accordance with the GDPR, we acknowledge the right of EU citizens to:
• have their data erased that is no longer being used for a legitimate purpose;
• request a copy of all Personal Data held about you by us in a readable format; and
• request restricted processing of your Personal Data whilst any complaints or concerns are being resolved.

To erase, request or restrict processing of your Personal Data, please email us at info@blstr.co.

We cannot modify your Personal Information without your instruction. You can update your details with us at any time by emailing us at info@blstr.co or through your account settings. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to maintain the truth, accuracy, and completeness of your information at all times and your failure to do so may inhibit our ability to provide the Services. We shall have no liability to you or any third party arising from your failure to keep your information up to date.

We protect your Personal Data through technical security measures i.e. firewalls, encryption that limit the risk of loss, disclosure, or unauthorised access. No security measures are, however, 100% secure so we cannot guarantee the security of your information or data at any time. To the extent permitted by law, we accept no liability for any breach of security, or direct hacking of our security measures, or any unintentional disclosure, loss or misuse of any information or data or for the actions of any third parties that may obtain any information or data.

Notwithstanding the above, we acknowledge our obligation to report any data breach that is likely to risk the rights and freedoms of natural persons to the Australian Information Commissioner and, where our data breach involves the information of EU citizens, report to the European Data Protection Supervisor. We will also inform you, where possible, if your data has been breached in the circumstances where it poses a risk of serious harm or your rights and freedoms.

We also train all staff who may have access to your Personal Data about this privacy policy and our obligations under the Privacy Act, Privacy Principles, and GDPR. For more information on our internal policies, email us at info@blstr.co.

Please note that this privacy policy does not cover the information practices of third party websites which may be linked to our Website. Notwithstanding our encouragement for third parties to adopt similar privacy policies as ours, we are not responsible for their collection and use of your Personal Data. Please refer to the privacy policies and statements of the relevant third party website to obtain information regarding their information collection, use and disclosure policies.

We may, in the course of providing the Services to you, transfer your Personal Data to overseas countries that are deemed by the EU Commission as having an ‘adequate’ level of Personal Data protection. Where we transfer data to a third party in a country where no adequacy decision has been made, we warrant that any person or entity handling your data in those countries are bound under contract to meet the requirements of the Privacy Act, Privacy Principles and GDPR.

For the avoidance of doubt, we may transfer any data to an overseas third party with your express or implied consent, and the above condition only applies in the case of a data transfer or transmission to our related business entities in other countries

In the event that Bolster is involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization or sale of assets, you acknowledge and agree that your information may be sold or transferred as part of that transaction, provided that the party acquiring the information undertakes to assume our obligations under this Privacy Policy.
