This Policy applies globally. Additional jurisdiction-specific provisions apply where required by law.
1. Scope and Role

- the customer organisation is the data controller (or equivalent); and
- Specere acts as a service provider / processor on the customer’s instructions.
Customers are responsible for ensuring they have appropriate authority, notice, and consent to provide personal information to the Services.

5. Disclosure of Information
We may disclose information:
- to service providers and subprocessors (such as cloud hosting, analytics, payment processors);

6. Data Storage, Residency and Security
Information is stored and processed using reputable cloud infrastructure providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Specere primarily utilises AWS infrastructure that includes data centre locations in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia for the Asia Pacific region.
While infrastructure is regionally configured, Specere does not guarantee that all customer data (including AI-processed data, backups, metadata, system logs, or redundancy copies) will be stored exclusively within a specific data centre and may be replicated, processed, or backed up in other jurisdictions where required for resilience, redundancy, support operations, or lawful processing.
Where customers have specific data residency requirements, these must be agreed in writing.
AI Processing and Infrastructure
AI-assisted processing, including voice-to-text transcription and automated outputs, may utilise cloud-based compute resources globally operated by Specere or its service providers.
Specere implements reasonable contractual and technical safeguards to ensure such processing aligns with applicable privacy laws and customer agreements.
Security and Compliance
Specere implements technical and organisational security measures appropriate to the nature and sensitivity of the data processed, including access controls, encryption safeguards, monitoring controls, and role-based permissions.
SpecereShift and associated systems are developed and operated in alignment with recognised information security standards and frameworks, including ISO 27001 certified security practices where applicable.
While Specere applies robust security measures, no system is completely secure.
Customers remain responsible for maintaining the security of their access credentials and internal user controls.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to:
- provide the Services;
- meet contractual obligations; or
- comply with legal requirements.
Data may be deleted or de-identified upon request, subject to legal and contractual constraints.
8. Australian Privacy (Privacy Act 1988)
Where the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) applies, Specere complies with the Australian Privacy Principles.
