Australian Privacy Principles (APP) Compliance

Brevix is committed to managing personal information in an open, transparent, and secure way. We comply with the Australian Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), which outline how personal information must be collected, used, disclosed, and protected. This section explains how Brevix handles personal information for users in Australia.

1. Open and Transparent Management of Personal Information

Brevix maintains clear and accessible information about how we handle personal information. This Privacy Policy explains the types of data we collect, how it is used, and the rights available to individuals under the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

2. Anonymity and Pseudonymity

Where practical, users may interact with Brevix anonymously or using a pseudonym. Certain features—such as account creation and service delivery—require identifiable information to function correctly.

3. Collection of Personal Information

We only collect personal information when it is:

• Reasonably necessary for our operations
• Directly related to providing the Brevix platform
• Required by law

Information may be collected directly from users or automatically through use of the platform.

Types of information we may collect include:

• Account and Profile Information: Name, username, and email address
• Usage and Interaction Data
• Technical Information: IP addresses, device data, and cookies
• Communication Records: Support messages and feedback
• Billing and Transaction Data: Processed securely via third-party providers

We do not collect sensitive information unless it is strictly required and obtained with explicit consent.

4. Dealing with Unsolicited Information

If Brevix receives unsolicited personal information, we will assess whether it is reasonably necessary for our services. If not required, the information will be securely deleted or anonymized.

5. Notification of Data Collection

When collecting personal information, Brevix will notify users—at or before the time of collection—of:

• The purpose of collection
• How the information will be used
• Any third parties involved
• How individuals can access or correct their information

This information is provided through this Privacy Policy, onboarding flows, or platform notices.

6. Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

Brevix may use or disclose personal information to:

• Deliver and maintain platform functionality
• Provide customer support and service notifications
• Enhance platform performance and user experience
• Conduct analytics and continuous improvements
• Ensure security and prevent misuse
• Meet legal or regulatory obligations

Personal information will not be used or disclosed for unrelated purposes unless:

• The individual has provided consent
• The use is permitted under the APPs
• The use is required by law

Brevix does not sell or rent personal information.

7. Direct Marketing

Brevix may send product updates or service-related communications. Users may opt out of direct marketing at any time using the unsubscribe instructions provided in each communication.

8. Cross-Border Data Disclosure

Personal information may be stored or processed outside Australia. In such cases, Brevix ensures that overseas recipients:

• Provide privacy protections equivalent to the APPs
• Operate under enforceable contractual obligations

This may include the use of Data Processing Agreements and internationally recognized security standards.

9. Adoption of Government Identifiers

Brevix does not adopt, use, or disclose Australian Government identifiers (including Medicare numbers or tax file numbers) for its own purposes.

10. Data Quality

We take reasonable steps to ensure personal information is accurate, complete, and up to date. Users may request corrections through our Contact Page at any time.

11. Data Security

Brevix applies technical and organizational safeguards to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, or unauthorized access, including:

• Encrypted data storage and transmission
• Access controls and authentication mechanisms
• Audit logging and monitoring
• Secure data handling and minimization practices

If a data breach occurs and is likely to result in serious harm, Brevix will comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) Scheme, including notifying affected individuals and relevant authorities where required.

12. Access and Correction

Individuals have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about them
• Request corrections to inaccurate, incomplete, outdated, or misleading information

Requests can be submitted through our Contact Page and will be reviewed promptly.

13. Complaints Handling

If you believe Brevix has breached the Australian Privacy Principles, you may submit a complaint via our Contact Page. All complaints are acknowledged and investigated in a timely manner.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may escalate your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).
