11. Your rights in relation to your personal data

Individuals in Australia have the following rights under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth):

• to request that we provide you with a copy of your personal information that we hold
• to request that we correct any errors in your personal information, to ensure that the personal information we hold about you is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading. Note that you may also correct, update or remove certain parts of your personal information by yourself, or completely deactivate your SodaStream account, through your account settings; and
• to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

We may ask you for additional information to confirm your identity and for security purposes, before disclosing the personal data requested to you. We reserve the right to charge a fee where permitted by law, for instance if your request is manifestly unfounded or excessive.
