We will only use your personal information for this purpose if we have collected such information directly from you and if it is material of a type which you would reasonably expect to receive. We do not use sensitive personal information in direct marketing activity. Our direct marketing material will include a simple means by which you can request not to receive further communications of this nature, such as an unsubscribe button link.
Security, Access, and Correction
We store your personal information in a way that reasonably protects it from unauthorized access, misuse, modification, or disclosure. When we no longer require your personal information for the purpose for which we obtained it, we will take reasonable steps to destroy, anonymize, or de-identify it.

Overseas Transfer
Your personal information may be disclosed to recipients outside Australia. We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas recipient complies with the Australian Privacy Principles or is bound by similar privacy standards. If you request us to transfer your personal information to an overseas recipient, the overseas recipient may not be required to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles, and we will not be liable for any mishandling of your information in such circumstances.
GDPR Compliance
