If we need to disclose your personal information to a third party located overseas for any of the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, we will only do so to the extent necessary, and we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the third party handles your personal information in accordance with Australian privacy laws. This may include mandating the adequate management of personal information through contractual or other means.

On occasion, we may also disclose your personal information to overseas organisations where you instruct us or expressly consent to us doing so. In such cases, we may not take the above steps in relation to the management of your information and we will inform you about this at the time.

Storage and security of personal information

We generally store the personal information that we collect in electronic databases, some of which may be held on our behalf by third party data storage providers. We may also keep hard copy records of this personal information in physical storage facilities. We use a range of physical and technical security processes and procedures to protect the confidentiality and security of the information that we hold, and we update these from time to time in order to address new and emerging security threats that we become aware of.

We will only keep your personal information for as long we need it for the purposes described in this policy and will destroy or de-identify it when it is no longer required.

Access and correction

If you would like to access any of the personal information that we hold about you or if you would like to correct some aspect of it (e.g. because you think it is incomplete or incorrect), please contact our privacy compliance team using the contact details below. To protect the integrity and security of the information we hold, we may ask that you follow a defined access procedure, which may include steps to verify your identity. In certain cases we may charge you an administrative fee for providing you with access to the information you have asked for, but we will inform you of this prior to proceeding. In addition, there may be cases in which we are unable to provide information in response to your request, such as where it would interfere with the privacy of others or result in a breach of confidentiality. In these cases we will let you know the reasons why we cannot comply with your request.
