GDPR Compliance Information

Last Updated: July 10, 2026

Introduction

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is a comprehensive data protection law of the European Union that came into effect in May 2018. While frost-vector operates from Australia, we process data of individuals who may be protected by GDPR. This page explains how we comply with GDPR principles and how you can exercise your rights.

Data Controller Information

For the purposes of GDPR, frost-vector acts as the data controller for personal information collected through our services.

Data Controller:

127 Collins Street
Melbourne VIC 3000
Australia
Email: [email protected]

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal data only when we have a legal basis to do so. Our legal bases include:

Contractual Necessity

Processing necessary to perform our contract with you when you enroll in courses. This includes:

  • Providing educational services you've purchased
  • Communicating about your course progress
  • Processing payments
  • Matching you with appropriate instructors

Legitimate Interests

Processing necessary for our legitimate business interests, provided these interests do not override your fundamental rights. This includes:

  • Improving our curriculum and teaching methods
  • Analyzing website usage to enhance user experience
  • Preventing fraud and ensuring security
  • Marketing our services to existing students

Consent

Processing based on your explicit consent, which you can withdraw at any time. This includes:

  • Using non-essential cookies
  • Sending marketing communications to prospective students
  • Recording lessons for your review

Legal Obligation

Processing necessary to comply with legal requirements such as:

  • Maintaining financial records for tax purposes
  • Responding to lawful requests from authorities
  • Protecting legal rights in disputes

Your Rights Under GDPR

GDPR grants you specific rights regarding your personal data. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at [email protected].

Right to Access

You have the right to obtain confirmation of whether we process your personal data and to receive a copy of that data along with supplementary information about how it's processed.

Right to Rectification

You have the right to have inaccurate personal data corrected and incomplete data completed. You can update much of this information directly through your student dashboard.

Right to Erasure

You have the right to request deletion of your personal data when:

  • The data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected
  • You withdraw consent on which processing is based
  • You object to processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds
  • The data was unlawfully processed

This right is not absolute. We may retain data when required by law or for legitimate purposes such as defending legal claims or fulfilling contractual obligations.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your personal data when:

  • You contest the accuracy of the data
  • Processing is unlawful but you prefer restriction over deletion
  • We no longer need the data but you require it for legal claims
  • You've objected to processing pending verification of our legitimate grounds

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller when:

  • Processing is based on consent or contract
  • Processing is carried out by automated means

Right to Object

You have the right to object to processing of your personal data when:

  • Processing is based on legitimate interests or public interest
  • Data is used for direct marketing purposes
  • Data is used for research or statistical purposes

For direct marketing, your right to object is absolute. For other processing, we must cease unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.

Rights Related to Automated Decision Making

You have the right not to be subject to decisions based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that produce legal effects or similarly significantly affect you. We do not engage in automated decision-making that produces such effects.

Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing conducted prior to withdrawal.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of these rights, send a request to [email protected] with:

  • Your full name and email address used for our services
  • Specific right you wish to exercise
  • Any relevant details about your request

We will respond within one month of receiving your request. In complex cases, this may be extended by two additional months with notification. We do not charge a fee for exercising your rights unless requests are manifestly unfounded or excessive.

We may request additional information to verify your identity before fulfilling requests, particularly for data access or deletion, to ensure we do not disclose or delete data belonging to another person.

Data Protection Principles

Our data processing adheres to GDPR principles:

Lawfulness, Fairness, and Transparency

We process data lawfully based on identified legal grounds, treat data subjects fairly, and provide transparent information about our processing activities.

Purpose Limitation

We collect data for specified, explicit, legitimate purposes and do not process it in ways incompatible with those purposes.

Data Minimization

We collect only data that is adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary for the purposes for which it's processed.

Accuracy

We take reasonable steps to ensure personal data is accurate and kept up to date, and we erase or rectify inaccurate data without delay.

Storage Limitation

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

Integrity and Confidentiality

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction, or damage.

Accountability

We are responsible for and can demonstrate compliance with GDPR principles through our policies, procedures, and documentation.

International Data Transfers

We operate from Australia, which means personal data of EU residents may be transferred outside the European Economic Area. When we transfer data internationally, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place:

  • Transfers to countries with adequacy decisions from the European Commission
  • Implementation of Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Adherence to approved codes of conduct or certification mechanisms

You may request information about the specific safeguards applied to your data by contacting us.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach that is likely to result in a risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay. We will also notify relevant supervisory authorities as required by GDPR.

Children's Data

Our services may be used by individuals under 16 years of age through our Youth Language Academy. For users under 16, we require parental or guardian consent before processing personal data. We take additional care to ensure information directed to children is explained in clear, plain language appropriate to their age.

Supervisory Authority

If you believe our processing of your personal data violates GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. A list of supervisory authorities is available at: edpb.europa.eu/about-edpb/board/members_en

Updates to This Information

We may update this GDPR compliance information to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Material changes will be communicated via email or prominent website notice.
