We will only use or disclose your personal information for a secondary purpose where you have consented, or where you would reasonably expect us to do so and that purpose is related to the primary purpose for which it was collected (or directly related, in the case of sensitive information).

6. Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in the following circumstances:

  • To our staff, contractors and consultants who require the information to perform services on our behalf.

  • To professional advisers, such as lawyers and accountants, where reasonably necessary.
  • To a purchaser or prospective purchaser of our business, in the context of a sale or restructure.

We require our service providers and contractors to handle personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and the Australian Privacy Principles.

7. Overseas disclosure

Some of the third-party service providers we use may store or process personal information outside Australia, including in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union. This may occur, for example, when we use cloud-based email, CRM, file storage, analytics, website hosting or marketing platforms.

Before disclosing personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient handles it in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles, or we rely on another lawful basis permitted under the Privacy Act.

8. Cookies and our website

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help us understand how visitors use the site, to remember your preferences, and to improve your experience. Cookies are small data files stored on your device.

We may use:

  • Essential cookies, which are necessary for the website to function.
  • Analytics cookies, such as Google Analytics, which help us understand how visitors interact with the website.
  • Marketing and advertising cookies, which may be used by us or our advertising partners to deliver relevant advertising.
