10. Customers and Contacts Outside Australia

New Zealand. We handle personal information about people in New Zealand in line with the Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles. You can ask us for access to or correction of your information at hello@engineerediq.io. If you are unhappy with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.

United Kingdom. For people in the United Kingdom we act as controller under the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We rely on these lawful bases: performing our contract with you, meeting legal obligations such as tax records and our legitimate interests in securing our service and contacting business professionals about our products. You can ask us to access, correct, erase or restrict your information, to move it to another provider and to object to our use of it. We respond within one month. You can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office at ico.org.uk.

International transfers. Our main database is in Sydney, Australia. Some providers process data elsewhere: Anthropic (AI processing), Stripe (payments), Vercel (hosting), Google (email) and Sentry (error monitoring). Where UK law requires it, we rely on safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or the ICO’s International Data Transfer Agreement.

Business contacts. We may email business contacts at publicly listed business addresses about our products. Every message identifies us and includes a way to opt out. Reply ‘stop’ and we will remove you and keep your address only on a suppression list so we honour your request.
