Access, control to and correction of your personal information  

You have certain choices available to you when it comes to your information. Below is a summary of those choices, how to exercise them and any limitations. 
 

Your Choices 

Where applicable under local law, you may have certain rights with respect to your personal information. 
 

Depending on which jurisdiction you live in, you may have the right to request information about our processing of your information, to request a copy of your information, to request the deletion or restriction of your information, to request to correct or update your information and to request to opt out of certain profiling activities.  Below, we describe the tools and processes for making these requests.  You can exercise some of the choices by logging into the system and updating your profile. 
 

Your request and choices may be limited in certain cases: for example, if fulfilling your request would reveal information about another person, or if you ask to delete information which we are permitted by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep.  If you have unresolved concerns, you may have the right to complain to a data protection authority in the country where you live, where you work or where you feel your rights were infringed.  
 

Access and update your information: Our portal gives you the ability to access and update certain information. For example, you can access your profile information from your account and update those details at any time.  
 

Deactivate your account:   If you no longer wish to use our service, your health provider may be able to deactivate your account. Otherwise, please contact security@vaxapp.com.au and we will action this on your behalf. Please be aware that deactivating your account does not delete your information; your information remains visible to providers based on your past participation. 

Delete your information: All request for deletion or deidentification of your information should be addressed to security@vaxapp.com.au. Please note, however, that we may need to retain certain information for record-keeping purposes, to complete transactions or to comply with our legal obligations, in all cases these records will be deidentified to ensure your personal identifiable data is no longer attached to the record.
