What data breach procedures we have in place
Your information is stored on a computer server located in New South Wales, Australia. We attempt to keep our server secure and free from unauthorized access and use, by enforcing physical security at the premises in which the server is located, and by using industry standard technological measures to prevent unauthorized remote access to the server.
Unfortunately, no server on the Internet or any data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. Despite our best efforts to keep our server and transmissions to and from our server secure, we are unable to absolutely guarantee security and there will always be a risk of unauthorized access to your information. Although we will take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information that we hold about you, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorized access to such information.
Industry regulatory disclosure requirements
In certain circumstances we may be required by law to disclose your personal information, for example, where a Court orders disclosure, or subpoenaed in relation to third party litigation. We also reserve the right to choose to disclose your information to law enforcement agencies in circumstances described in the National Privacy Principles and other applicable laws and regulations, including for the purpose of investigating alleged contraventions of the law.
