This supplement is intended to add to the privacy policy of Melrose Laboratories Pty Ltd (“Melrose”). It sets out how Melrose complies with the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) with respect to the processing of personal data collected from residents of the European Union. It is not intended to replace Melrose’s privacy policy that applies to the collection, use and disclosure of personal information from individuals located in Australia. 


This supplement applies whenever you visit this website, including any mobile website (together, the “Website”) from a location within the European Union or when a resident of the EU provides personal data to Melrose.

Data controller

For the purposes of the GDPR, Melrose confirms that the data controller of this Website is Melrose Laboratories Pty Ltd, a company registered under the laws of Australia, whose registered office is located at 16-18 Lionel Road, Mount Waverley, Victoria 3149 Australia.

What personal data does Melrose collect about you and from whom?

When you access, subscribe or sign up to use the Website, Melrose may collect a variety of personal data about you. The types of information Melrose collects from individuals (including EU residents) are set out in Melrose’s privacy policy.

Use of your personal data

Where the GDPR applies to the personal data Melrose collects, Melrose uses and processes personal data according to the requirements and restrictions of the GDPR. In particular, Melrose will only use and/or disclose your personal data if Melrose has a permitted lawful basis on which to use and/or disclose your personal data.


Generally, Melrose collects your personal data because it is necessary for:

  • performing Melrose’s contract for the provision of products and/or services to you;
  • the pursuit of Melrose’s legitimate interests (as detailed further below); or
  • complying with Melrose’s legal obligations.

Melrose may also rely on your consent to use your personal data, including for marketing purposes (see “Marketing Communications” below).


You may withdraw your consent to these activities at any time. If you withdraw your consent, unless another lawful basis applies, Melrose will cease to process the affected data. Please note that withdrawal of consent may result in Melrose being unable to provide you with certain features of the Website and/or the products that you have ordered and paid for through the Website.


As noted above, Melrose may use your personal data for the purpose of performing a contract made between Melrose and you. This includes using your personal data for the purposes outlined in Melrose’s privacy policy. 


Melrose may use your personal data for Melrose’s legitimate interests, including those interests outlined in Melrose’s privacy policy. Without limiting Melrose’s privacy policy, Melrose’s legitimate interests include using your personal data:

  • for statistical and demographic analysis, in order to understand the behaviour, activities, preferences and needs of Melrose’s customers;
  • for improving the Website, to improve existing products and services and to develop new products and services;

  • to generally operate the Website and for internal business operations; and

Where you have consented to receive marketing communications directly from Melrose, then you agree that Melrose may use your information to contact you by your selected method of communication regarding new products, competitions, events, items or related activities which Melrose anticipates you may find useful, together with communications regarding similar products and services offered by Melrose. Melrose does not sell, trade or rent your personal data to other companies or partners.

This includes, but is not limited to, all sensitive personal data and any other information about you.

How long does Melrose keep hold of personal data

Melrose keeps your personal data for as long as it is reasonably necessary to meet the relevant purposes for which Melrose collected your personal data, including for the purpose of satisfying any legal, accounting or reporting requirements.


To determine the appropriate length of time for holding your personal data, Melrose takes into account the amount, nature and sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorised use and/or disclosure of your personal data, the purpose(s) for Melrose processes your personal data and whether Melrose can achieve those purposes through other means, together with legal requirements imposed on Melrose.
