Fujitsu Australia Software Technology Pty Ltd ("FAST") respects your right to privacy and is committed to protecting any personal information you provide to us or is generated by FAST or FAST third-party partners, about you.
FAST ("we," or "us") understand that you care about how information regarding you is used and shared. We consider ourselves bound by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Privacy Act) and in particular, the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act as well as the General Data Protection Regulation in the European Union (EU).
The APPs and GDPR now govern the way in which FAST collects, uses, discloses, stores, manages and allows access and/or deletion of personal information from any person located anywhere in the world.
Generally, FAST considers personal information to be confidential and will only disclose personal information where it is necessary for FAST to perform its day-to-day operations.
FAST may modify this Privacy Policy from time to time and post an updated Privacy Policy on this Website. We encourage you to check this Website regularly to ensure that you are aware of our current Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy should be read in conjunction with (and is subject to):
By using our products and services and accessing any of our Websites (whether by mobile phone, PC, tablet or any other means), you are deemed to agree to the provisions of this Privacy Policy. You may request more information about the way FAST manages the personal information it holds by contacting the FAST Data Privacy Officer (DPO) using the contact details below.
This Privacy Policy sets out in plain language the basis upon which we will process any Personal Information that we collect about you as a visitor to our Website located at www.postgresql.fastware.com.
It also outlines how we protect your privacy and rights concerning our use of your Personal Information. This includes what information of yours will be collected by us when you use the FAST Website, why we collect such Personal Information, how we use that information, and how you can control the collection, correction and/or deletion of your Personal Information held by FAST.
We will not use or share your Personal Information with anyone except as described in this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy does not apply to information we collect by other means (including offline) or from other sources.
2.1 Personal Consent
FAST has in place the processes, technology and policies to ensure that any specific Personal Information and subsequent consent you provide for us to use that information is freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous based on our use of clear and plain legal language that is unmistakably distinguishable from other matters.
You choose your consent starting with approval to the use of cookies upon arrival at our Website. You will at all times know what you are consenting to and will be informed in advance of your right to withdraw that consent as per this Privacy Policy. FAST also understands that obtaining your consent requires a positive indication of agreement and cannot be inferred by silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity.
2.2 If you are a resident of the European Economic Area (EEA)
FAST is located in Australia and provides services to organisations situated in Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. However, as a global website, we do collect information from citizens of the EEA via their use of forms to download resources.
As such, FAST has implemented policies, processes, documentation and technology to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") in order to protect both the data and privacy of all individuals within the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA).
When you provide us with your Personal Information, we process it using third-party web platforms in countries outside the EEA including Australia, Asia, and/or the United States of America, which may not provide the same level of data protection as the EEA. This processing is necessary to operate our business using global technology platforms as outlined below in this Privacy Policy.
3.1 Options for all users of the FAST Website
All people accessing the FAST Website have a range of options when it comes to managing how we use your Personal Information, as per:
3.2 Further options based on the GDPR requirements
If you are a resident of the EEA, or an EEA resident located somewhere else in the world, or any other person that has Personal Information residing with FAST, you have the following rights concerning your information:
4.2 Personal Information that our Website and other systems collect about you:
If you visit our Website it will automatically collect some information about you and your visit upon your acceptance of the terms of use with regards to cookie collection.
This may include the Internet protocol (IP) address used to connect your device to the Internet and some other information including the pages you visit on our Website, revisits, forms completed, and more. We use cookies and related technologies to identify your browser. Log file information is automatically reported by your browser every time you access a web page. FAST also uses third party analytic services such as Google Analytics and Google Ads. We also utilise or work with other data capture or analysis platforms including HubSpot, Salesforce, Microsoft Azure, LinkedIn Analytics, and social platforms that may include Facebook and Twitter.
4.3 Other information:
We may also collect other Personal Information from other sources. For example:
FAST collects, stores and uses your Personal Information for the following purposes:
We will only process your Personal Information as necessary so that we can pursue the purposes described above and where we have a legal basis for such processing. Where our lawful basis for processing is that such processing is necessary to pursue our legitimate interests, we will only process your Personal Information where we have concluded that our processing does not prejudice you or your privacy in a way that would override our legitimate interest.
In exceptional circumstances we may also be required by law to disclose or otherwise process your Personal Information.
We may from time to time review your Personal Information held in our systems – including the contents of and other information related to your email and other communications with us – for compliance and business-protection purposes as described above. This may include reviews for the purpose of disclosure of information relevant to litigation and/or reviews of records relevant to internal or external regulatory or criminal investigations.
To the extent permitted by applicable law these reviews will be conducted in a reasonable and proportionate way and approved at an appropriate level of management. They may ultimately involve disclosure of your information to governmental agencies and litigation counter parties as described below.
Your emails and other communications may also occasionally be accessed by persons other than the member of staff with whom they are exchanged for ordinary business management purposes (for example, where necessary when a staff member is out of the office or has left the employment of FAST).
In addition, the following are examples of the types of Personal Information collected by FAST in context to three types of situations, how it is collected and the purposes for which it is collected:
5.1 With respect to the provision of products, services and information:
In order to provide you with our products and services and to enable us to fulfil our obligations under any contract with you, we may collect Personal Information about you including your name, contact information, postal and email address, billing information, transaction and credit or debit card information and any other information that is reasonably required in the circumstances. If you do not provide us the required information, we may not be able to provide our products, services or information to you, or otherwise perform our obligations under any contract with you.
You may also choose to provide us with your name or other contact details when you call us by phone, write to us or email us, so that we can respond to your query and send you information about our products and services. As stated, we may also request your Personal Information through our Website, for example, if you make an enquiry via any of the forms located on our Website.
If you are not a FAST customer, your Personal Information may be provided to us by our partners or customers where we provide products and services in relation to our customers' or partners' data and that data contains your Personal Information.
If you are not a FAST customer, your Personal Information may also be provided to us by our customers (or potential customers) during the customer application process for the purpose of providing us with trade or credit references. In such cases, where it is practical and reasonable for us to do so, we will provide you with a notice informing you that we have collected your Personal Information.
5.2 With respect to the provision of marketing purpose:
As stated, if you have agreed or asked, we may use your Personal Information to provide you with information about products, promotions, special offers and other information which relates to our products or services or which we believe you may have a legitimate interest. We may send you such information by email, telephone, and/or any other form of electronic messages, post, fax or smartphone applications, social networking Websites or any other method which becomes relevant from time to time on the basis that you have opted into our mailing database, or we deem you have a legitimate interest in the product, service or offer on the basis of your job function or company profile.
When you provide us with your Personal Information, or we have contacted you on the basis of legitimate interest, you will be given the option to opt-out of being contacted again for direct marketing purposes, and have the opportunity to change your mind at a later date by opting back in using any one of our forms on the Website and our double opt-in capability to ensure it is you at your email address making this decision.
You can also at any time while opted-in manage your own preferences as to what type of information you would prefer to receive for FAST. Simply click to update your email preferences from the footer of any FAST email that you may have received. The options can include Blogs, Marketing Offers including Special Offers, Competitions, Product Updates, and Advice and Tips. This list is subject to change at any time as the options evolve and does not require FAST to notify you of such change.
You may also make contact with the FAST Privacy Officer using any of the contact details below.
5.3 With respect to our employees, contractors and suppliers
When you apply for a job or contract with us or otherwise do business with us, we may collect certain Personal Information from you, from any recruitment consultant and from your previous employers and others who may be able to provide information to us to assist us in our decision on whether or not to make you an offer of employment or engage you under a contract or to otherwise do business with you. If you are made, and accept, an offer of employment with us, this Privacy Policy will not apply to our acts and practices in relation to employee records about you as a current or former employee or contractor to the extent those records are exempt from the operation of the Privacy Act.
FAST also collects Personal Information in relation to its general business operations and administration. This may include information about individuals who are, or are employed by, our suppliers (including service and content providers), contractors, related companies, agents, advisors, corporate customers and business partners.
In order to perform the functions described above, it may be necessary for FAST to disclose Personal Information overseas and to third parties such as:
These people or organisations may be located outside Australia and it is likely that your Personal Information will be disclosed overseas. Our international offices and partners are located throughout the world making it impractical to list each country here. If you would like further information about the countries where your Personal Information is likely to be disclosed or stored, please contact the FAST Data Privacy Officer on the contact details below.
In all cases, by providing your Personal Information to us, you consent to the disclosure of your Personal Information outside Australia, and acknowledge and agree that FAST is not required to ensure that the overseas recipient handles your information in compliance with the APPs or GPDR regulations.
However, where practicable in the circumstances, FAST will take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients use and disclose Personal Information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy.
These disclosures may involve transferring your Personal Information overseas. If you are dealing with us within the European Economic Area, you should be aware that this may include transfers to countries outside the European Economic Area, which have not been determined by the European Commission to have an adequate level of data protection. In those cases, where we transfer your Personal Information to other members of the Fujitsu group or our service providers, we will ensure that our arrangements with them are governed by relevant legal mechanisms and safeguards including data transfer agreements, designed to ensure that your Personal Information is protected, on terms approved for this purpose by the European Commission.
FAST may share your Personal Information with third parties (such as hosting providers, payment processors, database providers, customer support providers, content producers and other agencies as already described) for the purpose of providing the Product/Service to you as well as applicable offers based on your opt-in or legitimate interest in the product/Service on the basis of your job role or organisation.
If we do this, such third parties' will be contractually bound to safeguard your Personal Information. We may store Personal Information in locations outside of our direct control (for instance, on servers or databases co-located with hosting providers) on the basis of an agreement to safeguard your information as described already.
From time to time, we may run events or activities ("Events") regarding our Products/Services together with a third party partner. If you provide information to such third parties, you acknowledge they may use it for the purpose of that Event and any other use that you approve. We cannot control third parties' use of your information. If you do not want your information to be collected by or shared with a third party, you can choose not to participate in these Events.
Except as otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, we will not disclose Personal Information to any third party unless required to do so by law or subpoena or if we believe that such action is necessary to:
(a) conform to the law, comply with legal process served on us or our affiliates, or investigate, prevent, or take action regarding suspected or actual illegal activities;
(b) to exercise or protect the rights, property, or personal safety of FAST, our customers or others.
7.1 Non-Personal Information
We may share non-personally identifiable information (such as anonymous usage data, referring/exit pages and URLs, platform types, number of clicks, geographical location, device type etc.) with our own internal staff or contractors, and interested third parties to help them understand the usage patterns for the FAST Website and interest in various Products/Services.

We will use this information to make our advertising more targeted and relevant, and improve the operation and experience of our Website. We may also share this information with third parties for this purpose.
We will delete your Personal Information when we no longer need such Personal Information, for instance where:
Sometimes, however:
Note that we may retain some limited information about you even when we know that you have left the organisation that you represent, so that we can maintain a continuous relationship with you if and when we are in contact with you again, when you are representing a different organisation.
