a purpose required, authorized or permitted by law; or
a purpose made known to you at the time of collection and to which you have consented.

Please note that the information provided by you may be disclosed to our agents, contractors or third party service providers who provide administrative or other services to us.

We maintain strict standards and procedures to prevent unauthorized access to your personal information and ensure correct use of information. We will use all reasonable endeavors to protect your personal information from unauthorized access.

While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot ensure the security of any information that you transmit to us over the internet and you do so at your own risk. However, once we receive your transmission, we take all reasonable steps to ensure that your information is secure on our systems.

Generally, where permitted by law, you are able to access and update your personal information during ordinary business hours. If you wish to do so, please contact us.

If we are unable to reach a satisfactory solution through negotiation, you can request an independent person (such as the Privacy Commissioner) to investigate the complaint.
