GDPR Compliance
Our commitment to European data protection standards
Overview
While keen-brick primarily operates in Australia, we recognize the importance of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) who may interact with our services.
This page outlines how we comply with GDPR requirements when processing personal data of EEA residents.

We process personal data under the following legal bases:
- Consent: When you explicitly agree to our processing of your data for specific purposes
- Contract: When processing is necessary to fulfill our service agreement with you
- Legal Obligation: When required by Australian or international law
- Legitimate Interest: When necessary for our business operations, provided your rights are not overridden

You can request correction of inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
Right to Erasure
You can request deletion of your personal data in certain circumstances, such as when it's no longer necessary for the purposes collected.
