OVERSEAS DISCLOSURE
Some of the service providers we rely on store or process data outside Australia. Our analytics, email marketing and CRM tools may store data in the United States or other jurisdictions where their parent companies are based. By submitting your information, you consent to its disclosure to these providers, on the understanding that they are bound by their own privacy commitments and the contracts we have with them.
COOKIES AND ANALYTICS
This website uses cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and understand how the site is used. Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function. Others are analytics cookies that help us see which pages are visited most, how visitors arrive, and where they leave.
We use Google Analytics to collect this anonymised information. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work as intended if you do.
STORAGE AND SECURITY
We store personal information in cloud-based systems operated by reputable providers, and take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No system is completely secure. If an eligible data breach occurs, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under the Privacy Act.
We retain personal information for as long as it is needed for the purposes set out in this policy, and for as long as the law requires us to keep records. Information collected during a sales campaign is typically retained for the duration of the campaign and a reasonable period afterwards, then destroyed or de-identified.
ACCESSING AND CORRECTING YOUR INFORMATION
You can ask for access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it’s inaccurate, out of date, incomplete or misleading. To do so, contact us using the details at the end of this policy. We will respond within a reasonable time, generally within 30 days. In limited circumstances, the law permits us to refuse a request — if that applies, we will explain why.
