1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information collected by Admin Tea (ABN: 93 701 160 456), operating in South Australia. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with the Australian Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

5A. Where Your Information Is Stored and Overseas Disclosure

Your rostering, onboarding, payroll, tax and superannuation information is stored in Australia, in Google Cloud's Sydney region (australia-southeast1).

One part of our service is held overseas. The sign-in details for your Admin Tea account — your email address, phone number, an encrypted (hashed) password and your multi-factor authentication secret — are held by Google's identity service (Google Cloud Identity Platform) in the United States. No payroll, tax file number, bank or superannuation information is held there. Google holds this information for us under its data processing terms, encrypted in storage and in transit.

We do not otherwise disclose personal information to recipients outside Australia.

5B. Tax File Numbers

We collect tax file numbers only through the employee's TFN declaration, and use and store them as the Privacy (Tax File Number) Rule 2015 requires: only for tax, payroll and superannuation purposes authorised by law, with access limited to people your employer has specifically authorised. Tax file numbers are never shown in full on screen and are securely destroyed or de-identified when no longer required by law.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Information is encrypted in storage and in transit, access to tax, bank and superannuation details is limited to people your employer authorises, and each view of those details is logged.

Every Admin Tea account must use multi-factor authentication: after entering a password, you confirm a code from an authenticator app, or by SMS if an app is not available. Accounts that have not set this up cannot access rostering, payroll, tax or superannuation information. Signed-in sessions lock after 30 minutes without activity and expire after 24 hours.

Payroll records are kept for seven years, as tax and workplace laws require, and are then securely destroyed unless the law requires us to keep them longer.

7. Access and Correction of Your Personal Information

You have the right to access and correct your personal information. To request access or make corrections, please contact our Privacy Officer at yasir@admintea.com.

8. Complaints

If you have concerns about how we handle your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer. We will investigate and respond within 30 days.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on our website, and we encourage you to review this policy periodically.
