We may use and disclose your personal information for any of these primary purposes. We may also use and disclose your personal information for secondary purposes which are related to the primary purposes listed above, or in other circumstances as authorised by the Privacy Act.
Sensitive information will be used and disclosed only for the purpose for which it was provided (or a directly related secondary purpose), unless you agree otherwise or an exemption in the Privacy Act applies.

We may also use third parties to analyse traffic at our website, which may involve the use of cookies. Information collected through such analysis is anonymous.
We will not collect sensitive information about you without your consent unless an exemption in the APPs applies. These exceptions provide for collection by law or to take appropriate action in relation to suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct.
What if you refuse to provide personal information?
Unfortunately, we cannot give you the option of using a pseudonym, or using our services if you wish to deal with us anonymously. This is because it is impracticable, and may be illegal.

- anyone whom you authorise us to share it with.
If we need to share your personal information with any of these parties they may only use your personal information for the specific purpose for which we supply it to them. We will ensure that all contractual arrangements with third parties adequately address privacy issues and will make third parties aware of this Policy.
Do we send your information overseas?
We are likely to share your personal information to recipients located in the following countries:
- Our systems use cloud storage servers that are hosted both locally and internationally. Therefore, the list of countries to which your information may be disclosed is likely to change. Where it is reasonably practicable to do so, we will update this list appropriately.
We will not share your personal information to overseas recipients without your consent unless:
- the overseas recipient is subject to a similar information privacy regime as here in Australia or
- we have taken reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient does not breach the Privacy Act, or the APPs
