Please see below for additional information if you are in the European Union.

Disclosure of your personal information
In order to conduct our business and deliver services, we may share your personal information with selected and trusted service providers, such as legal and accounting services, data storage, payment processors and technical services in Australia and overseas.

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you by contacting us at privacy@scootboots.com We will provide the requested information within 30 days and free of charge except if the request is unfounded, excessive or repetitive, in which case we reserve the right to charge a reasonable administration fee or refuse your request.
You may also request us to delete your personal information. If so, we will take all reasonable steps to satisfy your request except when unable to due to legal requirements. Deletion of any of your personal information however may prevent us from fulfilling or completing services to you. We are not responsible for deleting personal information previously provided to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Policy, however we will communicate any rectification or deletion of your personal information to third parties unless this proves impossible or involves unreasonable effort and time.

Please allow up to 30 days for your request to be processed.
Security of your personal information
We have processes in place to keep your personal information secure, including encryption of data and limitations on access to personal information within our organisation. When you send personal information to us it is encrypted and transmitted to us in a secure way. You can verify this by looking for a lock icon in the address bar and looking for “https” at the beginning of the address of the web page.
Although we have implemented a number of security measures to mitigate risk, it is not fool-proof and we cannot ensure or warrant the security or confidentiality of the personal information you send to or receive from us over the internet. We will therefore not be held responsible for events flowing from any unauthorised access to your personal information.
If you create an account with us you should use a password that is sufficiently complex and keep that password confidential. If you think there has been an unauthorised use of your account, please contact us at privacy@scootboots.com
How long we keep your personal information for
We keep your personal information for as long as necessary to provide services to you and to fulfill legal and accounting purposes. We have established time limits to review and erase the personal information we have collected.
Questions or complaints
If you have any questions or complaints about how we have collected, used, stored, handled or disclosed your personal information please contact our privacy officer at privacy@scootboots.com
Please allow up to 30 days for your request to be processed.
Additional rights and information under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) - for the European Union
The GDPR protects the fundamental rights of individuals within the European Union in relation to the processing of personal data. Personal data includes name, address, email address, social media account and digital identifiers such as an IP address or a cookie ID.
In addition to the rights outlined above you may also:
- withdraw consent for us to use your personal information by contacting us at privacy@scootboots.com or by unsubscribing in the link at the footer of marketing emails

Please note that our service providers may use your personal information in connection with automated decision-making. An example is our payment gateway blocking a transaction that appears to be fraudulent.
Additionally, please note that your information will be transferred outside of Europe when we provide services to you.
We have ensured that all our third-party service providers have processes in place to revoke access to your personal data and delete it if requested by you, in compliance with the GDPR.
To oversee the processing of personal data we have appointed a Data Protection Officer. If you have any queries or concerns please contact our Data Protection Officer at privacy@scootboots.com
