We may disclose personal information outside of the jurisdiction of Australia including the United States of America, European countries and Asian countries. The most common reason will be when we use service providers to perform some functions on our behalf.

The privacy laws of those countries may not provide the same level of protection as the privacy laws of Australia. However, this does not change our commitment and obligation to safeguard your privacy and we will comply with all applicable laws relating to cross-border data disclosure.

We may store your personal information in hardcopy documents or electronically. Both methods have locks, security systems and network security, and our staff policies require our staff to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us.

Our electronic storage is on our own server and secure cloud-based servers of third party companies. We will ensure any overseas third parties have appropriate data handling and security arrangements in place.

While we do everything we can to protect your information, we cannot assure you that personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy. By using our services and products, you acknowledge that we are not responsible for any intercepted information sent via the Internet, and you hereby release us form any and all claims arising out of or related to the use of intercepted information in any unauthorised manner.

Where you are entitled to access, the time we require to give you access will depend on the type of information requested. Generally, we will make it available to you within 30 days. We don’t charge a fee, however if your request is complex we may pass on an access charge for the time we spend locating, compiling and explaining the information you ask for. If this is the case, we will give you an estimate upfront and confirm it with you before we proceed.

In certain circumstances we are allowed to deny your request, or limit the access we provide. For example we might not provide you access to commercially sensitive information or information that may unreasonably impact upon another person’s right to privacy.  Whatever the outcome, we will write to you explaining our decision.

We may also ask you to identify yourself to our satisfaction.
