GDPR Compliance Statement

Last updated: May 22, 2026

Introduction

Although subtle-brick is based in Australia, we are committed to respecting the data protection rights of all individuals, including those in the European Union. This statement outlines how we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when processing personal data of EU residents.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a lawful basis to do so under GDPR Article 6:

• Consent: You have given clear consent for us to process your personal data for a specific purpose
• Contract: Processing is necessary for a contract we have with you, or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract
• Legal obligation: Processing is necessary for us to comply with the law
• Legitimate interests: Processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those interests

International Data Transfers

Your personal data may be transferred to and processed in Australia. While Australia is not covered by an EU adequacy decision, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with GDPR requirements.

Automated Decision-Making and Profiling

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects you.

Children's Data

We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from children under 16 without parental consent. If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Complaints

If you are an EU resident and believe we have not handled your personal data in accordance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority.
