Scope

This procedure applies to the personal data of all natural persons within the European Union (EU) or European Economic Area (EEA) and have specific rights afforded under the GDPR.

Definitions

Procedure

In addition to the protections under the Information Privacy Act 2009 (Qld) and the Information Privacy Principles, if you are a EU or EEA resident you have a number of additional rights under the GDPR including the right to request access to, a copy of, correction of, restriction in the use of, erasure of or transfer to another data controller in an accessible format of personal information in accordance with all applicable laws, and subject to the limitations outlined in the GDPR.
For individuals outside the EU/EEA and for data that was not collected within the EU/EEA, the erasure of your information shall be subject to the retention periods of applicable State and Federal law.
If you have provided consent to the use of your information, you have the right to withdraw consent without affecting the lawfulness of the University's use of the information prior to receipt of your request. Please note we may not be able to grant your request in all circumstances.
JCU will assist data subjects that are EU/EEA residents to exercise these rights, unless we have compelling and legitimate legal grounds not to (e.g. a legal obligation under Australian legislation, or if the Personal Data has been fully anonymised).
To exercise any of the above rights, complete the form at Appendix 1 and return it to the Privacy and Data Protection Officer at secretariat@jcu.edu.au
