INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
A business that supports our website, products and services may be located outside of New Zealand (the country where we are incorporated) and also outside of the country where you are located. This means that the personal information we collect may be transferred to, and stored in, a country outside of New Zealand and the country where you are located.
If you are located in the European Union (EU), your personal information may be transferred outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). Under the GDPR, the transfer of personal information to a country outside the EEA may take place where the European Commission has decided that the country ensures an adequate level of protection. In the absence of an adequacy decision, we may transfer personal information if other appropriate safeguards are in place.
If you are located in the United Kingdom (UK) your personal information may be transferred outside of the UK. Under the UK GDPR, the transfer of personal information to a country outside the UK may take place where the European Commission (as at 31 December 2020) or the UK government has decided that the country ensures an adequate level of protection. In the absence of an adequacy decision, we may transfer personal information if other appropriate safeguards are in place.
Where we transfer personal information outside the EEA or UK, it will only be transferred to countries that have been identified as providing adequate protection for EU/UK data, or to a third party where approved transfer mechanisms are in place to protect your personal information (e.g. by entering into Standard Contractual Clauses and/or a UK International Data Processing Agreement or Addendum). For further information, please contact us at hello@anadyneiq.com.
Some of the personal information we collect is processed in New Zealand. New Zealand is recognised by the European Commission and the UK Government as a country that has an adequate level of data protection and we rely on this decision in transferring personal information to New Zealand.
​
PROTECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
As required by applicable law, we will take steps to keep your personal information safe from loss, unauthorised activity, or other misuse.
ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
Subject to certain grounds for refusal set out under applicable privacy and data protection laws, you have the right to access your personal information that we hold and to request a correction to your personal information. Before you exercise this right, we will need evidence to confirm that you are the individual to whom the personal information relates.
Where you request correction, if we think the correction is reasonable and we are reasonably able to change the personal information, we will make the correction. If we do not make the correction, we will take reasonable steps to note on the personal information that you requested the correction.
If you want to exercise either of the above rights, email us at hello@anadyneiq.com. Your email should provide evidence of who you are and set out the details of your request (e.g. the personal information, or the correction, that you are requesting).
Subject to applicable law, we may charge you our reasonable costs of providing to you copies of your personal information or correcting that information.
OTHER RIGHTS
In addition to the rights to access and correct your personal information, if you are based in the EU or UK, you have the additional rights set out in the GDPR Additional Terms section of this privacy policy below.
​
INTERNET USE
While we take reasonable steps to maintain secure internet connections, if you provide us with personal information over the internet, the provision of that information is at your own risk.
If you follow a link on our website to another website, the owner of that website will have its own privacy policy relating to your personal information. We suggest you review that website’s privacy policy before you provide personal information to the owner of that website or that website.

GDPR ADDITIONAL TERMS
​
LAWFUL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION
Our lawful basis for processing (as that term is defined in the GDPR and UK GDPR) personal information that we collect, use and disclose depends on the personal information collected and the context in which we collect it.
Generally, we collect personal information from you where we have your consent, where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, or where processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests (except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms).
Where we process personal information based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time.
Despite the above, we may process your personal information where such processing is necessary for compliance with applicable laws.
If you have any question about the legal basis on which we process personal information or need further information, please contact us at hello@anadyneiq.com.

YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE GDPR AND UK GDPR
If you are located in the European Union or the United Kingdom, your rights in relation to your personal information include:
-
Right of access - if you ask us, we will confirm whether we are processing your personal information and provide you with a copy of that personal information.
-
Right to rectification - if the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to have it rectified or completed. We will take reasonable steps to ensure inaccurate personal information is rectified. If we have shared your personal information with any third party, we will tell them about the rectification where possible.
-
Right to erasure – when your personal information is no longer needed for the purposes for which you provided it, we will delete it. You may request that we delete your personal information and we will do so if deletion does not contravene any applicable law. If we have shared your personal data with any third party, we will take reasonable steps to inform those third parties that they must delete your personal information.
-
Right to withdraw consent - if the basis of our processing of your personal information is consent, you can withdraw that consent at any time.
-
Right to restrict processing - you may request that we restrict or block the processing of your personal information in certain circumstances. If we have shared your personal information with any third party, we will tell them about this request where possible.
-
Right to object to processing - you may request that we stop processing your personal information at any time and we will do so to the extent required by the GDPR and/or UK GDPR (as applicable).
-
Rights related to automated decision-making, including profiling - you have the right to not be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, except where such automated decision-making is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract with you, is authorised by applicable laws or is based on your explicit consent. We do not undertake automated individual decision-making.
-
Right to data portability - you may obtain your personal information from us that you have consented to give us or that is necessary to perform a contract with you. We will provide this personal information in a commonly used, machine-readable and interoperable format to enable data portability to another data controller. Where technically feasible, and at your request, we will transmit your personal information directly to another data controller.
-
The right to complain to a supervisory authority - you can report any concern you have about our privacy practices to your local data protection authority.
Where personal information is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object to such processing, including profiling related to direct marketing.
If you would like to exercise any of your above rights, please contact us at hello@anadyneiq.com. If you are not satisfied by the way we deal with your query, you may refer your query to your local data protection authority.
