Some of our technology or service providers may store or process data outside Australia (for example, cloud-based systems). Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled appropriately and in line with applicable privacy obligations.

9. Storage and security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. These steps may include secure systems, restricted access, and reputable third-party providers.

If an eligible data breach occurs and we are required to notify under applicable law, we will take steps in line with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. The OAIC states that entities covered by the Privacy Act must notify affected individuals and the OAIC when a data breach is likely to result in serious harm.
