BroadSource Group Subprocessors and Subcontractors

Last Updated on 17/09/2021 10.30 AEST

BroadSource Group (“BroadSource”) uses certain subprocessors (including members of the BroadSource Group and third parties, as listed below) to assist it in providing our Products and Services.

What is a Subprocessor

A subprocessor is a third party data processor engaged by BroadSource, including entities from within the BroadSource Group, that has or potentially will have access to or process service and marketing related data (which may contain Personal Data).

BroadSource engages different types of subprocessors to perform various functions as explained in the tables below. BroadSource refers to third parties that do not have access to or process Service Data but who are otherwise used to provide the Services as “subcontractors” and not subprocessors.

Due Diligence

BroadSource undertakes to use a commercially reasonable selection process by which it evaluates the security, privacy and confidentiality practices of proposed subprocessors that will or may have access to or process Service Data.

Safeguards

BroadSource requires its subprocessors to satisfy equivalent obligations as those required from BroadSource (as a Data Processor), including but not limited to the following requirements:

  • Only process Personal Data in accordance with data controller’s (i.e. Broadsource or our Subscribers) documented instructions (as communicated in writing to the relevant subprocessor by BroadSource)
  • In connection with their subprocessing activities, use only personnel who are reliable and subject to a contractually binding obligation to observe data privacy and security, to the extent applicable, pursuant to applicable data protection laws
  • Provide regular training in security and data protection to personnel to whom they grant access to Personal Data
  • Implement and maintain appropriate technical and organizational measures (including measures consistent with those to which BroadSource is contractually committed to adhere insofar as they are equally relevant to the subprocessor’s processing of Personal Data on BroadSource’s behalf) and provide an annual certification that evidences compliance with this obligation. In the absence of such certification BroadSource reserves the right to audit the subprocessor
  • promptly inform BroadSource about any actual or potential security breach
  • Cooperate with BroadSource in order to deal with requests from data controllers, data subjects or data protection authorities, as applicable.

How Your Personal Information is Used

BroadSource collects and uses your Personal Information in order to provide services to you, comply with relevant legal and regulatory obligations, and to improve our products and services.

In certain situations, BroadSource may be required to disclose personal data in response to lawful requests by public authorities and agencies, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements. Where required by law (e.g. to comply with a subpoena, warrant, court order, or legal process served on BroadSource), and when we believe that disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, to avoid litigation, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, and/or respond to a government request.

At our discretion, we may also disclose information about you if we determine that such disclosure should be made for reasons of national security, law enforcement or other issues deemed to be of public importance.

Updating Your Privacy Preferences and Personal Information

You have the right to view, correct or request deletion of your personal information and privacy preferences at any time and this can be accomplished by contacting us at privacy@broadsource.com.au

Upon request BroadSource will provide you with information about whether we hold or process any of your personal information. To request this information please contact us at privacy@broadsource.com.au

We will respond to these requests via email promptly within a reasonable time-frame.

Protection of Your Personal Information

The Personal Information you provide in connection with receiving marketing information or subscribing to our services is protected in several ways:

  • Your Personal Information is stored on password protected secure servers that only can only be accessed by selected BroadSource staff and contractors
  • Access to your subscribed products and services including your personal information is available through use of your email address and a strong alpha numeric password, selected by you, with the option to use two-factor authentication via supported methods. Your password is encrypted and should not be divulged to anyone
  • Where applicable, sensitive data may be “encrypted at rest” as an additional layer of security
  • Your Personal Information and any sensitive information (e.g. credit card or payment details) is encrypted in transit at all times using Transport Layer Security (TLS) technology

We strive to protect the Personal Information submitted to us, both during transmission and once we have received it, and use reasonable measures to protect your Personal Information based on its sensitivity and available technology. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

If you have any questions or concerns about security on our Websites or in our Products and Services, you can contact us via email at privacy@broadsource.com.au

Data Retention

We will retain your information for as long as it is required to provide you marketing information with your consent, provide you with services or fulfil our legal obligations.
In the event that you request BroadSource to delete your Personal Information or no longer use it to provide you with services or marketing information, please contact us at privacy@broadsource.com.au

Once received, we will respond to your request within 30 days but will still retain or use your information where necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes and enforce agreements.

Information Sharing with Third Parties

BroadSource does not sell or otherwise provide any Personal Information to third parties for the marketing of their own products or services, but does use third-party companies to perform services on our behalf and only share the minimum Personal Information required that is necessary for them to provide those services. An example of this is credit card processing facilities provided by a third-party company, who we use to bill your for our products and services. To the best of our knowledge these companies do not store, share or use personally identifiable information for any other purpose apart from processing payments on our behalf.

We require that any company we may share Personal Information with to protect the data in a manner consistent with this policy and limit the use of this information to the performance of services on behalf of BroadSource.

  • Service Related Announcements such as:
    • Registration Emails
    • Emails triggered by Actions taken in the Site or Service
    • Service Status or Planned Maintenance Notifications
    • Billing related Notifications
