Envirosuite Ltd (EVS) understands the importance of protecting the privacy of an individual's personal information. This policy sets out how EVS aims to protect the privacy of your personal information, your rights in relation to your personal information managed by EVS and the way EVS collects, holds, uses and discloses your personal information.
In handling your personal information, EVS will comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) and with the 13 Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act. Where applicable as a matter of local law, EVS may be bound by the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (CCPA) and the Brazilian General Data Protection Law: Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais) (Law No. 13,709/2018) (LGPD)
This policy may be updated from time to time.
EVS (referred to as 'we', 'us', 'our' in this privacy policy) provides environmental monitoring services which are utilised by Airports, Construction Companies and Mines (our Customers). Our Customers then make available to you via our products, an application or web form, where you are able to provide feedback regarding the noise levels of our Customers. In performing these services, we may collect and process your personal information.
Where EVS is bound under the GDPR, EVS typically collects and processes your personal information as a consumer (as opposed to employees of EVS), in our capacity as a 'Data Processor' for our Customers, who are the 'Data Controller'. Our Customers, as Data Controller are responsible for deciding how and why your personal information is processed.
Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified, or reasonably identifiable, individual. As part of conducting business and in the provision of its goods and/or services, EVS may collect your personal information.
Generally, the kinds of personal information EVS collects is contact and identification information such as your name, address, telephone number and email address. In some circumstances, EVS may also hold other personal information provided by you such as browser version, IP address, location at a suburb/city level, URL, company name and ‘clickstream’ of interactions on the product.
If you are under the age of sixteen we are unable to process your information through our products; please ask an adult to use the feedback service on your behalf and ask them to enter their contact details instead.
Generally, EVS collects your personal information directly from you, through completion of an online form or entry of your information into one of our consumer feedback apps, an interaction or exchange in person or by way of telephone, email or post, or through the EVS website.
Our website allows you to share personal information with a view to that information being read, copied, downloaded or used by other people. Examples include:
submitting an enquiry using our website’s contact forms
downloading a document or video file from our website that requires your contact information

There may be other occasions when EVS collects your personal information from other sources such as from one of our customers or a government body. Generally, EVS will only collect your personal information from sources other than you if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect your personal information from you. We process your personal information in accordance with our written contract with our Customer and any other instructions or direction they provide.

Our Customer, as Data Controller, determines the purposes and means through which your personal information will be processed. Our Customer relies on the pursuit of its legitimate interests as its legal basis for the processing of your personal information. These legitimate interests involve giving you the opportunity to provide feedback on the noise levels near your home or workplace. Our Customer has determined that the pursuit of these legitimate interests by them will not outweigh your rights and freedoms.
EVS discloses your personal information for the purpose for which EVS collects it. That is, EVS will only disclose your personal information for a purpose set out at paragraph 4. EVS may also disclose your personal information with your consent or if disclosure is required or authorised by law. This may include disclosing your personal information where reasonably necessary for law enforcement or as directed by a Court or Regulator.
For consumers located outside the European Economic Area, EVS may disclose personal information to overseas recipients in order to provide its services and/or products and for administrative or other business management purposes. It is impracticable to list the countries in which recipients of personal information may be located, however, before disclosing any personal information to an overseas recipient, EVS takes steps reasonable in the circumstances to ensure the overseas recipient complies with the Australian Privacy Principles, the CCPA or is bound by a substantially similar privacy scheme unless you consent to the overseas disclosure or it is otherwise required or permitted by law.
For the purposes of GDPR compliance, any data required to be held within the European Economic Area will be stored there and will only be transferred if in accordance with the principles outlined in GDPR, Chapter 5: Transfer of personal data to third countries or international organisations. EVS maintains separate offsite data processing and backup arrangements in each jurisdiction in which we operate.
