                We may disclose personal information to outsourced information technology service providers, including cloud computing providers and data storage providers, based overseas.

                We will take reasonable steps to ensure such overseas recipients do not breach the Australian Privacy Principles (APP’s) or are subject to laws or a scheme substantially similar to the APP’s.

                DISCLOSURE FOR ANALYTICS

                We may use Google Analytics to track usage of our Site. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google. Google utilises the data collected to track and examine the use of the Site, to prepare reports on the Site’s activities and share them with other Google services. 

                Google may use the data collected to contextualise and personalise the ads of its own advertising network.  Personal data collected by Google includes cookie and usage data, which is processed in the USA. You can find Google's privacy policy here: http://www.google.com.au/policies/privacy/.

                CONSENT TO OVERSEAS DISCLOSURE

                Other than as contemplated under this point 8, we will only disclose your personal information to an overseas recipient if:

                  • you consent to the transfer; or

                  COOKIES

                  Cookies are files with small amounts of data, which may include an anonymous unique identifier. Cookies are sent to your browser from a web site and stored on your computer's hard drive.

                  Like many sites, we use "cookies" to collect information. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some features of our site.

                  WEB BEACONS

                  Web beacons (also known as clear gifs, pixel tags or web bugs) are tiny graphics with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, and are used to track the online movements of web users or to access Cookies.

                  Unlike Cookies which are stored on the user’s computer hard drive, web beacons are embedded invisibly on web pages (or in e-mail).

                  Web beacons may be used to deliver or communicate with Cookies, to count users who have visited certain pages and to understand usage patterns.

                  Like many sites, we use web beacons to collect information which is done in accordance with this policy.

                      • giving access would be unlawful; or
                      • denying access is required under the Privacy Act or any other applicable law.
                      AMENDING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
