Our data and compliance team are committed to maintaining the highest standards of

detailed in our security control documents.
How We Maintain the Quality of Your Personal Information
Paxiv recognises the importance that any data information we hold is up to date and
accurate. The information we receive from the users of our products and services and
the data we collect as described throughout this policy, are subject to various
enhancements to ensure the information is as accurate as possible. Where updated or
enhanced information is available, we incorporate it into our datasets and products
without delay. We update our full universe dataset weekly, however, enhance and
append daily, through our highly advanced Pango data engine. Our automated systems
clean and repair all data records on delivery. The system removes all known bot
attributes and inappropriate filter block words. We then match, validate and enhance
with cross-referenced trusted and highly scored data records. This process utilises
numerous trusted datasets to validate and clean the data.
In addition to our internal processes, when utilising data from third-party we apply
stringent quality standards. Each third-party source undergoes a rigorous vetting and
auditing process. This ensures that their data quality aligns with our high standards,
guaranteeing the integrity and reliability of the information we use and provide.
Access to Our Data from Outside Australia
We place paramount importance on protecting consumer’s personal information from
unauthorised and unethical use. As an Australian company, we adhere strictly to the
Privacy Act 1988 Cth and our ISO27001 security compliance procedures. Here’s how
we manage international access to our data:
●No Foreign Access Without Consent: We do not permit access to our data
platforms from outside Australia unless prior written consent has been provided
and unless required for specific services.
●International Vetting Application: Any entity seeking access from outside
Australia must complete and receive approval through our rigorous International
Vetting application. This application records full identity particulars on the
organisation and person seeking access. It also provides for an assurance or
privacy warranty to be provided by the contracting parties responsible privacy
officer or managing director.
●Record Keeping: Approved applications are securely stored and can be
provided to relevant government bodies such as the OAIC, ACCC, or the ACMA,
should the need arise.
●Strict Consequences for Breach: Any unapproved attempts to access our data
systems from outside Australia is a breach of our Terms and Conditions and will
result in the suspension of the client account pending a full review. Misuse of any

Principles. For operations involving social media validations, the data shared is always
de-identified to protect individual privacy. Furthermore, for all other data-sharing
purposes, we ensure that all data information is securely encrypted during transit,
upholding our commitment to data security and privacy standards.
We are committed to protecting consumer’s right to privacy. No access to a company
outside of Australia will be granted unless we approve them and their use case for the
data. In such cases, we ensure that the overseas recipient adheres to privacy standards
equivalent to those under the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the APPs.
Email / SMS Data & Spam Act
Paxiv is committed to upholding the integrity of the data we provide and ensuring
compliance with the Spam Act 2003. We do not support any unauthorised practices that
could lead to spamming or unwanted contact for consumers.
When we supply mobile numbers or emails to our clients through any of our data
platforms, the client/user agrees not to use any third-party validator or ‘Pinger’ outside
of those supplied within our automated solutions. The use of unknown phone or email
validators can result in unwanted spam for consumers, which is something we actively
work to prevent.
If a client is found to be using a third-party service to validate or ‘ping’ email addresses
supplied by us, we will suspend or cancel their access in support of the Spam Act 2003
and the consumer’s right to privacy. Any misuse or harassment of consumers via SMS,
Telemarketing or email will also result in immediate suspension or cancellation of our
services to the client.
When a consumer is contacted by digital communication for marketing purposes, such
as Email or SMS, our clients must provide the option for the consumer to unsubscribe or
opt-out. Consumers have the right to request the client to add them to the opt-out
register database and cease contacting them. This action should be performed
immediately upon the opt-out request by the consumer for both the client’s and
consumer’s protection.
In addition to our existing practices, we conduct comprehensive vetting and auditing of
our clients’ use of marketing data. This process ensures that our clients clearly define
and adhere to the intended use of the marketing data we provide. We carefully verify
that their usage aligns with both the consent obtained from consumers and the
requirements of the Spam Act 2003. This proactive approach highlights our commitment
to responsible data management and compliance with relevant privacy and
communication laws.
For more information, please refer to our Terms of Use and Global Privacy Policy, and
ensure full compliance with the relevant Spam rules and regulations.

request corrections if they believe the information is inaccurate, outdated, or incomplete.

respond to access or correction requests within 30 days, in accordance with the Privacy

If you would like us to update your information or believe that any of the information we
hold is incorrect, please let us know and it will be corrected or removed from our
database at your request. All requests for access and corrections including complaints
and suppression’s, will be handled expeditiously and in writing only, we do not under
any circumstances reveal any personal information over the phone or by email unless
we have identified you as the person to whom the record relates. We reserve the right
to deny any privacy requests where we cannot adequately identify you or request
further identity information.
We aim to resolve all privacy request issues within 30 days or sooner if practical. We do
not disclose, suppress or reveal personal information on any record over the phone and
will require our standard privacy forms to be completed. This is for the protection of the
individual, to ensure only they access their information. For clarity, where a consumer
wishes to discover the source of their personal information held by Paxiv, we will only
release their personal information on the sources directly to them or their appointed
legal representative and in writing only and where we have accurately identified them.
Our Privacy access process is restricted to the consumer in question and as such, we
cannot provide information to third parties and breach our internal compliance
procedures. We do not store any data you provide us in the Privacy form within our data
universe and it is only used for the purpose of identifying and suppressing your
information from further commercial use and actioning your privacy suppression
request.
Refusal to Complete Our Privacy Compliance Forms
You are welcome to choose not to complete our privacy compliance forms if you prefer.
However, without these forms, we won’t be able to share or confirm any details about
the record you’re enquiring about. To process requests such as suppressing, accessing,
or releasing your personal information, we need the forms completed and returned.
If you decide not to complete the forms, the only action we can take is to add the details
you provide to our suppression list (blacklist). This means that if we receive that record
in the future, it will be immediately flagged and prevented from being used. Additionally,
if the record is already within our data, it will be suspended from further use. This
suppression can only take place if the limited information you provide is enough for us
to identify and act on the record.
If you are not satisfied with the handling of your complaint by Paxiv, you have the right
to escalate the matter. You may refer your complaint to the Office of the Australian
Information Commissioner (OAIC). For further information or to lodge a complaint, you
can visit their website at https://www.oaic.gov.au or contact them directly on 1300 363
992. We encourage you to engage with us directly in the first instance, as we are
committed to resolving your concerns swiftly and fairly.

scheme under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). If the breach is likely to result in serious
harm, we will notify affected individuals and the OAIC as soon as practicable, providing
details of the breach and recommended steps for protection.
