Privacy Notice

Your privacy is very important to us. We are committed to ensuring that when you use our services or engage with us, you know what personal information or data (Personal Data) we collect about you and how we use your Personal Data. This data privacy notice (Privacy Notice) is a statement that describes how we will use your Personal Data. Please take the time to read and understand our Privacy Notice.

It is important that you read this Privacy Notice together with any other privacy notice or fair processing notice we may provide on specific occasions when we are collecting or processing Personal Data about you so that you are fully aware of how and why we are using your Personal Data. This Privacy Notice supplements the other notices and is not intended to override them.

Data protection and privacy laws in certain jurisdictions, like the European Economic Area (EEA) and in the UK, differentiate between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. A controller determines the purposes and means of the processing of Personal Data.  A processor processes personal information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instructions.  We are mainly a processor of Personal Data but in some instances act as a controller as well. This privacy notices explains how we process Personal Data as a controller.

This Privacy Notice also explains how we process Personal Data as a personal information handling business operator subject to the Act on the Protection of Personal Information (Act No.57 of 2003, as amended) of Japan and its relevant implementation regulations and guidelines (APPI).

Dubber is a global group which provides call recording and audio asset management in the cloud, headquartered in Australia with offices also in the United States of America and the United Kingdom.

In this Privacy Notice, you or your means an individual who is the subject of Personal Data we handle, subject to the local data protection laws, or process as a data controller, which would: (i) typically be the representatives, and end users of our corporate customers (which could be either communication operators or other corporate customers) that interact with us and manage and use our call recording and transcription facilities or our other corporate services; and (ii) the data subjects of a small number of recordings and audios we spot check for support, quality and product development purposes only – we do not otherwise control stored audios or recordings.

If you are a European Union (EU) data subject the General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (the EU GDPR) applies. If you are in the UK, the Data Protection Act 2018 applies along with the GDPR as amended and adopted by UK law by virtue of section 3 of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018 (the UK GDPR). The EU GDPR and the UK GDPR are collectively referred in this notice to as the GDPR and, in this context, Dubber, we, our or us refers to Dubber Limited, reg. no 10093254  of 264 Banbury Road, Oxford, Oxfordshire, OX2 7DY, UK, and otherwise each of those terms refers to Dubber Pty Ltd ACN 150 843 164 of Level 5, 2 Russell Street, Melbourne Vic. 3000, Australia.

If you are an EU or a UK data subject, the controller of your Personal Data is Dubber Limited.

Dubber Limited has appointed a EU Representative in order to comply with Art. 3(2) and Article 27 of the EU GDPR and their details are: RSM SPAIN | Address: c/ d’Entença, 325, 335, 08029 Barcelona (Spain) | Email: mgallardo@rsm.es | Website: www.rsm.es.

APPI applies in those cases where a personal information handling business operator who, in relation to supplying services to persons in Japan, has collected personal information and/or personal data relating to the person who is the data subject, handles the personal information. In this context, Dubber, we, our or us refers to Dubber Pty Ltd ACN 150 843 164 of Level 5, 2 Russell Street, Melbourne Vic. 3000, Australia and, if you are a data subject to which APPI applies, the Personal Information Handling Business Operator of your Personal Data is that entity.

For any other data subjects, Dubber Pty Ltd is the controller and the applicable data protection laws will apply to the processing of their Personal Data.

This Privacy Notice (together with our Terms of Service, which you can find at https://www.dubber.net/terms and any other documents referred to in it) sets out the basis on which any Personal Data we collect from you, or that you provide to us, will be processed by us.

Dubber serves customers globally. Accordingly, the information we collect from you may also be transferred to, and stored at, a destination anywhere in the world, including outside your country or region.  It may also be processed by staff operating outside your country or region who work for us or for one of our suppliers.  We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your Personal Data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Notice.

For EU and UK data subjects, we may implement one of the following safeguards, namely:

(a) only transfer your Personal Data to countries that have been deemed to provide an adequate level of protection for Personal Data by the European Commission or by the UK (as applicable); and

(b) use specific contracts approved by the European Commission or by the UK as applicable, which give Personal Data the same protection it has in the EU or the UK respectively.

Where possible and practical, you will have the option to deal with Dubber on an anonymous basis or by using a pseudonym. However, in some circumstances, if we are unable to collect Personal Data from or about you, or if the Personal Data provided is incomplete or inaccurate, Dubber may not be able to do business with you, including providing the products or services you are seeking or provide support or assist you with your queries.

The Internet is not a secure medium. However, we have put in place a range of security procedures, as set out in this Privacy Notice.  Where you have been allocated an account, this area is protected by your username and password, which you should never divulge to anyone else.

Please be aware that communications over the Internet, such as emails/webmails, are not secure unless they have been encrypted. Your communications may route through a number of countries before being delivered. This is the nature of the World Wide Web/Internet. We cannot accept responsibility for any unauthorised access or loss of personal information that is beyond our control. 

We will use reasonable endeavours to implement appropriate policies, rules and technical measures to protect the Personal Data that we have under our control (having regard to the type and amount of that data) from unauthorised access, improper use or disclosure, unauthorised modification, unlawful destruction or accidental loss. 

We will ensure that your information will not be disclosed to government institutions or authorities except if required by law (e.g. when requested by regulatory bodies or law enforcement organisations in accordance with applicable legislation). 

Certain services may include social networking, chat room or forum features. When using these features please ensure that you do not submit any Personal Data that you do not want to be seen, collected or used by other users.

You can set your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of this website or our products or services may become inaccessible or not function properly. You can find out more about the cookies we use on our “cookies policy” at www.dubber.net/cookies/.

We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. Please contact us if your details change or if you believe the information we have about you is not accurate or complete.

EU and UK data subjects and data subjects to which APPI applies also have the following rights in accordance with GDPR and APPI respectively:

(a) Right to be informed. You have the right to be told how your Personal data is collected, used, stored, and shared.  We do this through this Privacy Notice.

(b) Request access to your Personal Data (commonly known as a “data subject access request”). This enables you to receive a copy of the Personal Data we hold about you and to check that we are lawfully processing it.

(c) Request correction of the Personal Data that we hold about you. This enables you to have any incomplete or inaccurate data we hold about you corrected, though we may need to verify the accuracy of the new information you provide to Us.

(d) Request erasure of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to delete or remove Personal Data where there is no good reason for us continuing to process it. Note, however, that we may not always be able to comply with your request of erasure for specific legal reasons which will be notified to you.

(e) Object to processing of your Personal Data where we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and there is something about your particular situation which makes you want to object to processing on this ground as you feel it impacts on your fundamental rights and freedoms. You also have the right to object where we are processing your Personal Data for direct marketing purposes. In some cases, we may demonstrate that we have compelling legitimate grounds to process your information which do not override your rights and freedoms.

(f) Request restriction of processing of your Personal Data. This enables you to ask us to suspend the processing of your Personal Data in the following scenarios: (i) if you want us to establish the data’s accuracy; (ii) where our use of the data is unlawful but you do not want us to erase it; (iii) where you need us to hold the data even if we no longer require it as you need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims; or (iv) You have objected to our use of your data but we need to verify whether we have overriding legitimate grounds to use it.

(g) Request the transfer of your Personal Data to you or to a third party (commonly known as a “data portability”). We will provide to you, or a third party you have chosen, your Personal Data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format. Note that this right only applies to automated information which you initially provided consent for us to use or where we used the information to perform a contract with You.

(h) Withdraw consent at any time where we are relying on consent to process your Personal Data. However, this will not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out before you withdraw your consent. If you withdraw your consent, we may not be able to provide certain products or services to you. We will advise you if this is the case.

(i) Rights in relation to automated decision–making and profiling. You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal or similarly significant effects and the right to request human intervention, express Your point of view, and contest the decision.

(j) Right to lodge a complaint as detailed below in Section 11.

When we receive a request for notification of the purpose of use, disclosure, correction, suspension of use, deletion, etc. of the Personal Data in our possession in accordance with APPI, we will promptly respond to the request. If you have any questions about this Privacy Notice or wish to exercise your rights, please contact us at the contact in Section 11.

What we may require from you to exercise the rights above.

We may need to request specific information from you to help us confirm your identity. We may also contact you to ask for further information in relation to your request.

Time limit to respond to EU, UK and APPI data subject requests.

We try to respond to all legitimate requests within one month. Occasionally it may take us longer than a month if your request is particularly complex, or you have made several requests. In this case, we will notify you and keep you updated.

No fee usually required to deal with EU, UK and APPI data subject requests.

All communication and all actions taken by Dubber regarding your rights described above are provided free of charge. Dubber reserves the right, in the case of clearly unfounded or unreasonable requests, to either take out a reasonable fee calculated from actual costs covering the administrative costs of providing the information or taking the requested action or refusing to fulfil the requested action.

We will only retain your Personal Data for as long as you have consented to it or when it is necessary to us to provide you with our services or fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, reporting or regulatory requirements. For instance, by law we have to keep basic information about our customers (including contact, identity, financial and transaction data) typically for six years after they cease being customers for tax purposes.

To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the Personal Data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements.

In some circumstances you can ask us to delete your Personal Data.

In some circumstances we may anonymise and make it impossible to restore your Personal Data (so that it can no longer be associated with you) for research or statistical purposes in which case we may use this information indefinitely without further notice to you.

If you believe that the privacy of your Personal Data has been compromised, you are entitled to complain and we will endeavour to satisfactorily resolve the issue.
