Overseas disclosure

Australian Residents

We store your personal information in Australia. Where we disclose your personal information to third parties, those third parties may store, transfer or access personal information outside of Australia. This may occur when our
service providers are located overseas, when we work with overseas business partners, or when using cloud-based services or data storage solutions.


We will only disclose your personal information overseas in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles. Before doing so, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient protects your information to a standard comparable to
the Australian Privacy Principles, including through contractual requirements or other appropriate safeguards.

New Zealand Residents

Where we disclose your personal information to third parties, those third parties may store, transfer or access personal information outside of New Zealand, which may not have an equivalent level of data protection laws as those in New Zealand. Before disclosing any personal information to an overseas recipient, we will comply with Information Privacy Principle 12 and only disclose the information if:

  1. you have authorised the disclosure after we expressly informed you that the overseas recipient may not be required to protect the personal information in a way that, overall, provides comparable safeguards to those in the Privacy Act 2020;
  2. we believe the overseas recipient is subject to the Privacy Act 2020;
  3. we believe that the overseas recipient is subject to privacy laws that, overall, provide comparable safeguards to those in the Privacy Act 2020;
  4. we believe that the overseas recipient is a participant in a prescribed binding scheme;
  5. we believe that the overseas recipient is subject to privacy laws in a prescribed country; or
  6. we otherwise believe that the overseas recipient is required to protect your personal information in a way that, overall, provides comparable safeguards to those in the Privacy Act 2020 (for example pursuant to a data transfer agreement entered into between us and the overseas recipient).

Storage and security

We are committed to ensuring that the personal information we collect is secure. In order to prevent unauthorised access or disclosure, we have put in place suitable physical, electronic and managerial procedures, to safeguard and secure personal information and protect it from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

While we are committed to security, we cannot guarantee the security of any information that is transmitted to or by us over the Internet. The transmission and exchange of information is carried out at your own risk.

We keep your personal information only as long as we need it for the purposes we collected it, or as required by law. When we no longer need it, we securely destroy or de-identify it.
