If, at any time, you provide personal Information or other information about someone other than yourself, you must have that person’s consent to provide such information for the purpose for which you provide it to us.
Why we collect information
The primary purpose for which we collect Personal Information about you is to conduct our business, provide and market our services.

Where your Personal Information is disclosed to these third parties, they will only be authorised to use your Personal Information for the purpose that we supplied it to them. If those third parties are located overseas, then your Personal Information may be transferred overseas.
How we hold Personal Information – security
We will take all reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information that we hold from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure by means of secure premises, locked cabinets, firewalls, password access, secure servers and encryption of credit card transactions.
However, you acknowledge that the security of communications sent by electronic means or by post cannot be guaranteed. You provide Personal Information to us via the internet or by post at your own risk. We cannot accept responsibility for misuse, interference or loss, or unauthorised access, modification or disclosure in respect of your Personal Information where the security of the information is not within our control.
Personal Information collected by us will be stored and processed on servers located within [and outside of] Australia. To prevent unauthorised access, maintain data accuracy, and ensure the correct use of information, we have put in place appropriate physical, electronic, and managerial procedures to safeguard and secure the information we collect online.
In other limited circumstances, we may need to send your Personal Information overseas. These circumstances include:
• Where we have a supplier assisting us with the provision of goods and services and our business functions; and
• Where a third-party application is being used in connection with our interactions with you.
We will take all reasonable steps to maintain the security of Personal Information in these circumstances in accordance with this Privacy Policy, but our ability to ultimately control where these third-party providers host their applications or process their data may be limited.
If you suspect any misuse, interference or loss, or unauthorised access, modification or disclosure in respect of your Personal Information, or any other privacy breach please let us know immediately.
A notifiable data breach will occur if there has been unauthorised interference to your Personal Information, and that interference is likely to result in serious harm to you. If there is a notifiable data breach, we will determine if the data breach has caused or is likely to cause serious harm. If we determine that serious harm has or will be caused, we will notify you and the relevant reporting body of the data breach.
