4. Sub-processors
A current list of sub-processors is maintained at formaos.com.au/trust/subprocessors. We provide 30 days advance notice before engaging new sub-processors.
5. Data Subject Rights
FormaOS supports Controllers in fulfilling data subject rights including access, rectification, erasure, portability, and restriction of processing. Requests can be submitted via the platform or by contacting privacy@formaos.com.au.
6. Data Retention, Portability & Deletion
Data retention periods are configurable and may be tailored to your specific regulatory obligations (e.g., 7-year ASIC record retention, NDIS evidence retention requirements). Upon termination or plan cancellation, customers have 30 days to export all compliance data, evidence artifacts, and audit trail records in portable formats (CSV, JSON, ZIP). After the export window, data is securely deleted and written confirmation is available on request. No lock-in penalty applies to data portability.
7. Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach, FormaOS will notify the Controller in accordance with applicable law and contractual notification terms, providing details of the breach, likely consequences, and mitigation measures taken.
8. International Transfers
Data is primarily processed within Australia. Where international transfers occur (e.g., through sub-processors), they are governed by Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent safeguards.
