  • A “Data Processor” (or “operator”) is the party that processes Personal Data on behalf of the controller.

Do We Transfer Your Personal Data Internationally?

We may share your Personal Data with recipients located outside Brazil, including:

  • Government authorities or regulators, including law enforcement agencies, when required by law or in connection with matters such as customs or immigration;

For us to respond to your request, we must be able to verify your identity. We will not respond to any request if we are unable to verify that the personal information in our possession relates to you.

This Australia Addendum (“Australia Addendum”) supplements this Policy to the extent that the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Australian Privacy Act”) applies to the processing of Personal Data in Australia by the SB Group. In the event of any inconsistency between this Australia Addendum and the rest of this Policy, this Australia Addendum shall prevail.

Personal Data Under The Australian Privacy Act

For the purposes of this Australia Addendum and the Privacy Policy as it relates to Australia, “Personal Data” has the same meaning as “personal information” under the Australian Privacy Act — that is, information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is true or not and whether recorded in a material form or not.

“Sensitive information” is a subset of personal information and includes information such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, and other categories specified in the Australian Privacy Act.

Note: The concept of a “Data Controller” or “Data Processor” does not exist under the Australian Privacy Act.

Do We Transfer Your Personal Data Internationally?

We generally collect your Personal Data in Australia. However, we may disclose your Personal Data to overseas recipients located in countries including Singapore and Hong Kong SAR. These recipients may include:

  • Our service providers who process, handle, or store Personal Data on our behalf (e.g. data hosting providers, analytics providers, or technology partners);
  • Law enforcement agencies, regulators, or government authorities where disclosure is required or permitted by law (e.g. for immigration, customs, or security purposes); and
  • Other T-Bulk Group entities, where necessary for our legitimate business functions and as permitted under the Australian Privacy Act.

We only transfer Personal Data outside Australia in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principle 8 (APP 8). This generally means we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the APPs, or we will obtain your informed consent to the transfer, or another exception applies under the Act.

Access To And Correction Of Personal Data

You may request access to, or correction of, the Personal Data we hold about you by contacting our Data Protection Officer using the contact details provided in the Privacy Policy. We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Data we collect, use, or disclose is accurate, complete, and up to date. You can help us by notifying us if your details change or if you become aware of any errors in the information we hold.

If you believe that any Personal Data we hold is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading, you have the right to request that we correct it. We will take reasonable steps to do so.

In limited circumstances permitted under the Australian Privacy Act, we may refuse your request to access or correct your Personal Data. If we do, we will provide you with a written explanation and, in the case of correction, allow you to associate a statement with the information explaining your concerns.

Do We Use or Share Your Personal Data for Direct Marketing?

We (or any member of the T-Bulk Group) may send you direct marketing communications and information about our services that maybe of interest to you. These communications may be delivered via emails, SMS, or other communication channels, as permitted by law.

We will only send such communications:

  • In compliance with applicable privacy and electronic communications laws, including the Australian Privacy Act (APP 7) and the Spam Act 2003 (Cth); and
  • Where you have provided your consent, or as otherwise permitted under those laws.

You may opt-out of receiving direct marketing communications at any time by:

  • Contacting our Data Protection Officer using the contact details; or
  • Clicking the unsubscribe link or using other opt-out mechanisms included in our communications.

This People’s Republic of China Addendum (“PRC Addendum”) supplements the Policy to the extent that the Personal Information Protection Law of the PRC (PIPL) applies to the processing of your Personal Data where such processing occurs in, or relates to individuals located in, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”). For the purpose of this Policy, the PRC excludes the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Macao Special Administrative Region, and Taiwan Region.

This PRC Addendum forms part of the Policy. In the event of any inconsistencies between this PRC Addendum and the rest of the Policy, this PRC Addendum shall prevail.

Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Where PIPL applies:

  • We do not rely on “legitimate interests” as a lawful basis for processing your Personal Data.
  • In addition to the legal bases outlined in the main Policy, under PIPL, we may also process your Personal Data without your consent in the following circumstances:
    • Where it is necessary to respond to public health emergencies or to protect life, health, or property in emergencies;
    • Where it is necessary for news reporting, public opinion supervision, or other activities in the public interest, provided that the processing is within a reasonable scope;
    • Where the Personal Data has been publicly disclosed by you or lawfully made public by other means, and the processing is carried out within a reasonable scope and does not have a significant impact on your rights and interests.

Separate Consent Requirements

Notwithstanding the above, under PIPL, separate consent is required in the following situations:
