For example, in some countries, regulations require us to obtain relevant documents from third parties which contain patient information before we can release products.

We use session cookies to keep you logged in while you use features of our website; these disappear after you close your browser. We also use persistent cookies, which stay in your browser and allow us to recognise you when you return to the website. We use this to remember your information, so you will not have to re-enter it, to better understand how you use our Services, to diagnose and fix technology problems, and otherwise enhance our Services. In some of our email messages, we use a ’click-through URL’ linked to content on our website. We track this click-through data to help us measure the effectiveness of our customer communications.
We may collect analytics data directly or through third party analytics tools (including Google Analytics) to assist us with analysing and improving our service, and measure traffic and usage trends for our products and services.

We may share your personal information to the following categories of recipients:
We will check any third party that we use to ensure that they can provide sufficient guarantees regarding the confidentiality and security of your personal information.
We will have written contracts with them which provide assurances regarding the protections that they will give to your personal information and their compliance with our data security standards and international transfer restrictions.
Our websites may contain links to other websites operated by third parties and may include social media features such as Facebook and X buttons (such as “Like,” “Tweet” or “Pin”). These third-party sites may collect information about you if you click on a link and the social media sites may automatically record information about your browsing behaviour every time you visit a website that has a social media button. Your interactions with these features are governed by the privacy policy of the company providing the feature, not by this Privacy Policy. We do not control what information these third parties collect. Please review your privacy settings on your social media sites and think carefully before clicking on links which may take you to a third-party website.
We take security seriously and care about the integrity of your personal information. We use commercially reasonable physical, administrative, and technological methods to secure your personal information and protect it from accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or access. The measures we use are designed to provide a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing your personal information.
In the event that any information under our control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take reasonable steps to investigate the situation and where appropriate, notify those individuals whose information may have been compromised and take other steps, in accordance with any applicable laws and regulations.
In order to deliver our core functions and to ensure we meet our legal data protection and privacy obligations, we will retain your information for at least as long as your account is active, as needed to provide you services, as long as is needed to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected (and any other linked purpose) or as necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information (as described above), we will either delete or anonymise it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Personal information collected from interactions with CBD Force is stored securely within Australia. We will not transfer data collected and stored within Australia to any country outside of Australia that is not recognised as ensuring an adequate level of protection, without compliance with the relevant legal or regulatory requirements. We may disclose information outside of Australia where we have a legal right to do so and to its group companies located overseas in the normal course of its business. Our policy is to comply with the requirements of the applicable laws which apply to cross border disclosure of personal information.

Where CBD Force is the controller of your personal information, you also have the following additional rights:
Where you exercise your data protection rights, our response will depend on our role as a controller or processor, our legal basis for processing and whether or not any exemptions are available under applicable privacy or data protection laws. If you wish to exercise any of these rights in relation to personal information provided to us by your healthcare professional and for which we are a processor, please contact your healthcare professional directly.
We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their rights in accordance with applicable privacy and data protection laws. In order to comply with a request, we may ask you to identify yourself. In such a situation, we will only request information to the extent required to confirm your identity. You also have the right not to identify yourself when dealing with us where it is lawful and practicable for us to allow it. However, if you don’t provide us with your personal information when requested, we may not be able to respond to your request or provide you with the Service that you are seeking.
If you have a question, comment or complaint about how we have collected or handled your personal information, please contact our privacy officer using the contact information below and provide details of the incident so that we can investigate it.
If you are making a complaint, we will treat your complaint confidentially, investigate your complaint and aim to ensure that we contact you and your complaint is resolved within a reasonable time (and in any event within the time required by applicable law).
You also have the right to complain to the regulator, and to lodge an appeal if you are not happy with the outcome of a complaint.
