Cookies & Analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to enhance your browsing experience, analyse site traffic, and understand user behaviour. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
We may use third-party analytics services (such as Google Analytics) to collect aggregated, non-identifiable data about website usage. These providers have their own privacy policies.
Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose it to:
- Our employees, contractors, and professional advisers who need it to perform their duties
- Third-party service providers (e.g., payment processors, cloud hosting, email delivery) under strict confidentiality obligations
- Regulators, courts, or law enforcement agencies where required by law
Overseas Disclosure
Some of our service providers are located outside Australia (including in the United States and Europe). When we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure those parties comply with privacy obligations substantially similar to the APPs.
Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse, or alteration. This includes encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews.
However, no internet transmission is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Once no longer required, we securely destroy or de-identify it.
