Privacy Policy

Futura Photo is available at https://futuraphoto.com/. Futura Photo is based in Melbourne, Australia but offers its goods and services to users all over the world.

At Futura Photo, we are committed to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) ("Privacy Act") and the Australian Privacy Principles ("APPs"). To the extent that Futura Photo may offer its goods and services to individuals in the European Union or otherwise, may monitor the behaviour of individuals in the European Union, we have created this privacy policy to comply with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"). For the GDPR, Futura Photo is both the "data controller" and the "data processor" of personal information and is legally responsible for how this information is collected and used. This policy sets out how we collect, hold, protect, use or disclose your personal information, and how you may change or request that we amend it.

How do we collect Personal Information?

Obtained from the interested party: You provide it to us when requesting our services to maintain the legal-commercial relationship with you or to send you information about our products or services.

When you provide us with personal data, you guarantee that you can provide this information and that it is correct, truthful, accurate, up-to-date, and not confidential. Also, you confirm that by doing so, it does not violate any contractual restrictions or rights of third parties. Furthermore, you agree not to impersonate other users.

Obtained when visiting futuraphoto.com: We automatically collect information when you access this website, any of its subdomains or microsites, when you fill out any form with personal data, when you upload information, or when you contact us directly by email.

When you visit our website, data is sent from your browser to our server, to optimise our services and improve your user experience. Such data may be collected and stored automatically by third parties on our behalf or by us. This data may include:

  • The IP address
  • The date and time of the visit
  • The URL of the site from which the user comes
  • The pages visited on our website
  • Information about the browser used such as browser type, version, and operating system

We may process and record such data, either independently or with the help of third-party services, including through the use of "cookies" and other tracking technologies such as flash cookies and web analytics.

If our website has social networks connectors, when you choose to interact with us through a social network, we cannot be responsible for the privacy settings selected by the user. The social network may inform about your IP address or which page you are visiting on our website and may set a cookie to allow them to function correctly, or for example, your name will appear in the "likes" you give or in the comments you make on our page. If you do not want personal data of yours associated with those "likes" or comments, configure your privacy to avoid it, pseudonymising your data by, for example, putting on a nickname or alias that does not reveal your first and last name.

If you log in to one of these social networks during your visit to our website, the social network may add that information to your profile and that information will be transferred to the social network. If you do not want this data transfer to take place, please log out of your social network session before entering our website or mobile application, as it is not in our power to interfere with this process through social connectors.

If a user decides to publish or share texts, photos, videos or other content through our official page on a social media platform, the user will be solely responsible for ensuring that such content complies with the corresponding legal regulations.

In any case, we may remove from both this website and our social media pages, any content published by the user when we detect that the user has violated the current legislation or the indications of this privacy policy.

Our services do not host Social Media. Their policies and not ours govern your interactions with them. Please read the privacy policies of those social networks for detailed information about the collection and transfer of personal data, your rights and your privacy settings.

Data Controller

The responsible for data management is Mola Digital, with ABN 27428276899 and with registered office at 59 Wilcox St, Preston, VIC 3072, Australia. Contact email: [email protected]

Third-Party Data

You must respect other people's privacy by taking special care when posting personal data. We remind you that, as a user, you can only facilitate and consent to the processing of your data, not those of third parties. If you provide us with third-party data you are transferring personal data, it is your responsibility to have the prior and express consent of those third parties to use and proof of it. Also, you are responsible for informing them of the inclusion of their data in our files. The publication of third-party data without their consent may infringe, in addition to the regulations on data protection, the right to honour, privacy or the very image of such third parties.

Purpose

We may process the data for different purposes, for example:

  1. If you are a client or a potential customer, for the maintenance of contact and the development, compliance and control of the legal-commercial relationship with clients and potential customers, manage the delivery of the requested services, as well as manage the contractual relationship.
  2. If you are a user of our website, a participant or an applicant to register and participate in activities or events that we may promote or organise.
  3. If you are the sender or recipient of an email, to maintain contact and communication with you and manage the requests you make to us online.
  4. Inform you that photos or videos of activities and events may be published.
  5. Conduct opinion and satisfaction surveys and send you, through electronic communications, information about our activities, products and services (including advertising or commercial communications). If we already have a prior contractual relationship, we will forward such communications based on our legitimate interest. If we do not have a previous contractual relationship, we will only send you such communications, if you authorise us by checking the option included in the corresponding forms. The electronic communications that we send you will include a way to request stop receiving them.

Data Retention Period

We will keep the personal data as long as the person concerned does not request its deletion. We may retain this data for the necessary limiting its use to comply with the legal and contractual obligations to which we are subject during the statutory periods foreseen for the prescription of any responsibilities on our part or the exercise or defence of claims arising from the relationship with the interested party.

Legitimation

The legal basis that legitimises us for the processing of your data can be diverse:

  • There is a legal-commercial relationship between the parties; either if you are a client or potential client.
  • Your consent – if you have sent us a request through our website, if you are a user, or if you are an attendee to one of our events. You are unequivocally granting such permission to us by providing us with your online or offline data, with such contribution being considered a clear affirmative act that manifests consent. The provision of the requested data is mandatory because it is essential to meet your request; If you don't make them available, we won't be able to carry it out. You can withdraw your consent at any time by sending us an email in this regard to [email protected]; such withdrawal means that we will not be able to provide you with the requested services or respond to your requests.
  • Under Article 47 of the GDPR (European General Regulation on the Protection of Personal Data 2016/ 679 of 27-4-2016), it also constitutes a legal basis for processing your data our legitimate interest (or that of a third party) to:
    1. Inform you of our activities, products and services (even by electronic communications) or those third-party entities with which we have signed a collaboration agreement. If we already have a prior contractual relationship, such communications will be forwarded based on our legitimate interest. Otherwise, we will only send you such communications, if you give us your consent by checking the option that is expressly included in the corresponding forms. In any case, the electronic communications that we send to you will include the option to stop receiving them.
    2. Conduct opinion or satisfaction surveys
    3. Make photographs or videos at the activities, or events that we organise or promote, to inform about them, document them, and be part of the video or photographic memory of the organisation.

In any case, we consider the indicated processing of your data is proportionate and has a minimal impact on your privacy. It will always prevail, over our legitimate interest, your interests, rights and freedoms, so, if you do not want us to process your data for these purposes, please send us an email in that regard to [email protected]. We will do so, being able to keep them blocked for the formulation, exercise or defence of claims. The withdrawal of your consent to process your data for these purposes does not condition its processing for the other purposes described in the privacy policy.

 

Recipients

We inform you that the data you provide to us may be communicated to third parties for the fulfilment of purposes directly related to legitimate transferor and assignee functions such as:

  • Companies or organisations for the management of collections and payments of products and services.
  • Entities or bodies to which there is a legal obligation to make data communications

In case we use US providers, we will choose companies that are bound by the Privacy Shield Agreement between the USA and the EU, or belonging to countries that have been declared as countries that are required to comply with European data protection requirements. These providers may need access to personal data, to provide us with ancillary services to our activity such as hosting, housing, software as a service, remote backups, computer support, maintenance services, email managers, email marketing, or file transfer. In any case, by accepting this data protection policy you expressly and unequivocally authorise the communication of the data to those companies, knowing that this implies an international transfer of data to a country not belonging to the European Economic Area and giving your unequivocal consent to such transfer.

 

Rights

You may, where appropriate, exercise your rights to access, rectify, delete, limit and oppose to the processing of your data, and not to be subject of decisions based solely on the automated processing of your data. You can do so by postal or electronic mailing address indicated in this privacy policy; in both cases by written and signed request attaching a copy of the ID or passport or another valid document that identifies you. In case of a modification of your data, you must notify it in the same way, declining futuraphoto.com all liability if you do not.
