It describes how Kutamo Pty Ltd complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and the UK GDPR where applicable.

1. Data Controller

For personal data processed in connection with the Kutamo platform, Kutamo Pty Ltd acts as the data controller, unless a business customer has engaged us under a Data Processing Agreement, in which case the customer is the controller and Kutamo acts as data processor for that customer's data.

  • Right of access (Article 15): Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Right to rectification (Article 16): Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure (Article 17): Request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten"), where it is no longer necessary or where you withdraw consent.
  • Right to restriction of processing (Article 18): Request that we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
  • Right to data portability (Article 20): Receive your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format and transfer it to another controller, where processing is based on consent or contract.
  • Right to object (Article 21): Object to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.

  • Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting prior processing.

To exercise any of these rights, please email [email protected]. We will respond within 30 days (extendable by a further 60 days for complex requests, with notice). We may ask you to verify your identity before fulfilling your request.

4. International Data Transfers

Kutamo is based in Australia, which the European Commission does not currently recognise as providing an adequate level of data protection under Article 45 GDPR. Where we transfer personal data from the EEA to Australia or other third countries, we rely on one or more of the following safeguards:

  • Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the European Commission.
  • Transfers to processors (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Stripe) under their own GDPR-compliant transfer mechanisms.

You may request a copy of the relevant transfer mechanisms by contacting [email protected].

5. Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law. See our Privacy Policy for detailed retention periods.

6. Data Breach Notification

In the event of a personal data breach likely to result in a high risk to your rights and freedoms, we will notify you without undue delay in accordance with Article 34 GDPR. We will notify the relevant supervisory authority within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach, as required by Article 33 GDPR.

7. Sub-Processors

As a data processor for business customers, we use sub-processors to provide our services. These include Microsoft Azure (hosting), Mailgun/SendGrid (email), Twilio (SMS), and Stripe (payments). We require all sub-processors to provide equivalent data protection guarantees. A current list of sub-processors is available on request.

8. Right to Lodge a Complaint

If you believe we have not handled your personal data in compliance with GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority. In the EU, you can find your authority at edpb.europa.eu. In the UK, the supervisory authority is the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

We encourage you to contact us first at [email protected] so we can try to resolve your concern directly.

9. Data Protection Officer

Kutamo is not currently required to appoint a Data Protection Officer under GDPR. Privacy queries can be directed to our Privacy Officer at [email protected].

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this GDPR Policy as our practices or legal requirements change. Material updates will be communicated by email or in-app notification at least 14 days in advance.
