Digistorm Group - Version 3.1 – May 2024
Introduction
Welcome to Digistorm’s privacy policy. Protecting Your Personal Information is our Priority.
We are committed to protecting individuals’ personal information. This Privacy Policy sets out how we, the Digistorm Group (“Digistorm,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collect, handle, use, and share information about you.
This Privacy Policy is provided in a layered format so you can click through to the specific areas set out below. Alternatively, you can download a pdf version of the policy here.
As a global organisation we are subject to the privacy laws of every jurisdiction in which we operate, including, as an Australia-based group, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
In certain circumstances we may also be subject to European data protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation 2016/679) (GDPR) and the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, as it applies to residents in the European Union and the UK, respectively, to the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 and its Information Privacy Principles (IPPs), as they apply to the collection and processing of the personal information of New Zealand residents. as well as to Canadian data protection law, in particular the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, S.C. 2000, c. 5, as it applies to the collection and processing of the personal information of Canadian residents.
Because we also operate in the United States, through our U.S. subsidiary and our parent company, Veracross LLC, a U.S.-based company, we are also subject to U.S. federal and state privacy and data security laws and regulations in our processing of the personal information of U.S. residents.
Because our website users are located across the globe, we have chosen to use the European Union (GDPR) model, often considered as the strictest model for user transparency, as the format for this policy. Consequently, based on the privacy and data protection laws that apply to you based on the location from which you access our website, you may not necessarily understand the meaning of some of the terms used in this Privacy Policy, we refer you to our Glossary of terms at the end of this policy to help you make better sense of this document.
1. General Information And Who We Are
Purpose
The purpose of this Privacy Policy is to:
- Set out the types of information that we may collect;
- Explain how that information will be used, handled, stored, and disclosed.
Application
This Privacy Policy applies to Personal Information that we may collect about you in the manner outlined in this policy, including from all legal entities owned or controlled by us (across any jurisdiction). It applies to any processing of Personal Information we collect through our public website www.digistorm.com and its subdomains (the “Website”). It also applies to your use of any of the Digistorm mobile applications (collectively, the “App”) once you have downloaded or streamed a copy of the App, onto your mobile telephone or handheld device.
It does not, however, apply to any Personal Information we process in connection with the Suite of Products that we provide through our platforms and related websites and apps to our Institution customers and their end users.
In our processing of Personal Information in connection with the provision of our Suite of Products to Institutions, we act as a data processor under applicable data privacy laws, and in that context our client Institutions act as data controllers on behalf of which we process the Personal Information for purposes of the provision of our Suite of Products. When we act as a data processor our processing of Personal Information isn’t governed by this Privacy Policy but by our Data Processor Addendum or other data processing terms in place between Digistorm and each Institution. For more information on our processing as a data processor, please contact the Institution that collected your Personal Information in connection with the use of our Suite of Products.
This policy also does not apply to Personal Information that may be collected by a third party or how that third party may use, handle, store or disclose your Personal Information.

Please carefully read this policy together with any other privacy notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing Personal Information about you so that you understand how we collect, share, and protect your information.

How We Collect Your Personal Information
We collect the above Personal Information about you:
- From you directly (for example when you subscribe to our marketing communications by filling out one of our forms on our Website, e.g., to receive our newsletter or by completing a “book a demo” form, when you communicate with us by email or through social media, or when you participate in a webinar or video/audio call with us);
- From other sources (for example from business partners, sub-contractors in technical and delivery services, advertising networks, analytics providers, search information providers); and
- Indirectly (for example technical information, including the IP address used to connect your computer or mobile device to the Internet, your login information, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types and versions, cookies, operating system and platform, type of device. Additionally, as you browse our platforms and websites, we collect information about the individual web pages or products that you view, what websites or search terms referred you to across those platforms, and information about how you interact with our Website and App) (“Device Information”).
We collect Device Information using the following technologies:
- “Cookies” are data files that are placed on your device or computer and often include an anonymous unique identifier. For more information about cookies, and how to disable cookies, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. For a list of our cookies please see our Cookies notice accessible on our Website.
- "Log files” track actions occurring on our Website, and collect data including your IP address, browser type, Internet service provider, referring/exit pages, and date/time stamps;
- “Web beacons”, “tags”, and “pixels” are electronic files used to record information about how you browse our Website.
In the event we receive identifiable information from a third party, such as a tradeshow organizer, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you have given express or implied consent to the collection of that information. If it is determined that we are unable to have possession of the information under a relevant law, we will destroy the information or ensure that the information is de-identified.
Do Not Track Settings
For some (but not all) services operated by us, the Do Not Track browser setting is accepted (which can be adjusted in your browser). Because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed for Do Not Track, we do not currently respond to all Do Not Track signals. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a standard once one is created.
Storing Your Information
We are a growing online business. To offer a consistent service to you we may store and manage data electronically or in paper form. Where data is stored electronically, it is done so by a third-party cloud service provider that may store your Personal Information or a backup of your Personal Information in Australia, the United States of America or such other locations that the third-party cloud service provider determines from time to time (see our list of third parties here for jurisdictions where your information may be stored). The data that we collect from you may be transferred to and stored on these servers or processed by staff operating in other countries, who work for us.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your information is secured from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorized access, unauthorized modification, or unauthorized disclosure. Any Personal Information will be handled in accordance with this Policy and applicable privacy laws. Despite using all steps reasonably necessary, the transmission of information through the internet is not completely secure.
Submission of any information to us is an acknowledgment that you agree to such use, storage, and disclosure.
3. How We Share Your Personal Information
We may share your information with:
- Our affiliates;
- Third parties including business partners, suppliers, and subcontractors;
- Any prospective buyer of any part of our business or assets; or
- Where we are required to disclose your information to comply with any legal obligation, or to enforce any agreements; or to protect the rights, property, or safety of us and our customers, or others. This includes, where relevant, exchanging information with third-party organisation for the purposes of fraud protection and credit risk reduction.
4. International Transfers
We collect and store Personal Information globally from each jurisdiction we operate in and from each legal entity that is owned or operated by us in different international jurisdictions and may transfer, process, and store your Personal Information outside of your country of residence, to wherever we or our third-party service providers operate.
If you are a resident of Canada, please note that we may process, store, and transfer your personal information in and to a foreign country, with different privacy laws that may or may not be as comprehensive as Canadian law. In these circumstances, the governments, courts, law enforcement, or regulatory agencies of that country may be able to obtain access to your personal information through the laws of the foreign country. Whenever we engage a service provider, we require that its privacy and security standards adhere to this policy and applicable Canadian privacy legislation.
Please note that because Digistorm’s and its service providers are located in the United States and other countries outside Canada, we may transfer personal information that we collect or that you provide as described in this policy to contractors, service providers, and other third parties we use to support our business and who are contractually obligated to keep personal information confidential, use it only for the purposes for which we disclose it to them, and to process the personal information with the same standards set out in this policy.
If you are in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK, please be aware that we are an Australian company with operations in both Australia and the U.S., and, therefore, that any Personal Information that we collect from or about you will be processed by us in Australia and the United States. When you submit data, including Personal Information, via our Website or App, excluding in connection with the delivering of our products and services (for which we act as a processor, not a controller), that data is being submitted directly into Australia and/or the United States (as applicable) and at no time is it held in the EEA, Switzerland, or the UK. In such circumstances, we will be considered the controller of such data submitted.
We rely on the following provisions of the EU and UK Data Protection Legislation when transferring your data to our servers in Australia:
- Article 49(1)(a): at the time of submitting the data, you explicitly consented to the transfer of your data outside of the UK, Switzerland, or EEA and into Australia and/or the United States;
- Article 49(1)(b): the transfer of your data into Australia and/or the United States is necessary in order to perform the contract you are entering into with us when you submit your data;
- Article 49(1)(c): the transfer of your data into Australia and/or the United States is necessary to conclude or perform a contract concluded between you and us, created when you submitted the data; and
- Article 1: to otherwise pursue our legitimate business interests outlined in this policy.
Processors
We note that we use third parties as processors to process your information where we are the Controller. The processing undertaken by the third-party processor will depend on the nature of the services provided by such processor to you on our behalf. Please click here to view the list of third-party processors.
Where you submit any data to or otherwise access and use our Website and App:
- You expressly consent to us transferring the submitted data outside of the UK, Switzerland, and the EEA; and
- Consent to your use of the processors as disclosed and as added to or replaced from time to time.
Whenever we transfer your Personal Information to a processor based outside of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), Switzerland or the UK, we ensure a similar degree of protection is afforded to it by using specific contracts approved by the European Commission or the UK Government (as applicable) which give Personal Information the same protection it has in Europe or the UK (as applicable). For further details, see European Commission: Model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries and UK International data transfer agreement and guidance.

Request erasure of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Information where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it.
You also have the right to ask us to delete or remove your Personal Information where you have successfully exercised your right to object to processing (see below), where we may have processed your information unlawfully or where we are required to erase your Personal Information to comply with local law. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you, if applicable, at the time of your request.
Object to processing of your Personal Information where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Information for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which override your rights and freedoms.
Request restriction of processing of your Personal Information. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Information in the following scenarios:
- If you want us to establish the data’s accuracy.
- Where our use of the data is unlawful, but you do not want us to erase it.
- Where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
- You have objected to our use of your data, but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.
Request the transfer of your Personal Information to you or to a third party. We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Information in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with you.
Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Information. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain services to you. We will advise you if this is the case at the time you withdraw your consent.
When your Personal Information was collected by your Institution under contract with us and processed by us on behalf of your Institution, please contact your Institution to exercise any of the above rights.
