We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

The data we collect from you and that we transfer to a third party outside of Australia shall only be to a third party who is subject to a law, binding corporate rules and the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) which provides an adequate level of protection that:

• Is in accordance with this Privacy Policy;

All information you provide to us is stored on our secure servers. Any transfer of data and payment transactions will be encrypted. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.

We will only retain your personal information for as long as is necessary. We undertake to regularly review the personal data we hold and to delete your personal information which we no longer require. We will keep your personal information for only so long as we need it in order to:

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer to outside parties your personally identifiable information. This does not include trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or providing a service to you, so long as those parties agree to keep this information confidential. We may also release your information when we believe release is appropriate to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect ours or others rights, property, or safety. However, non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.

These service providers are not permitted to use the information collected on our behalf except to help us conduct and improve our business.

10. Do we include third party links?

Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third-party sites have separate and independent privacy policies.
