It is our intention that this policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with in any way that is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in Australia. Should you choose not to provide personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with access to parts of this Site, or to certain content, products and services available on or from this Site.

How do we use personal information?
We use your information to provide our services to you or to fulfil administrative functions associated with these services. Your information may be used to send you e-mail notifications you have requested, send you our e-mail newsletter if you have requested it (you can inform us at any time if you no longer require the newsletter), send you marketing communications relating to our business which we think may be of interest to you, and/or deal with enquiries and complaints made by you relating to our website.

Disclosure
Apart from where you have consented or disclosure is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was submitted, personal information may be disclosed in special situations where we have reason to believe that doing so is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against anyone damaging, injuring, or interfering (intentionally or unintentionally) with our rights or property, users or anyone else who could be harmed by such activities. We may disclose personal information when we believe in good faith that the law requires disclosure or in connection with any ongoing or prospective legal proceedings.

We may transfer your personal information between countries if required for a relevant purpose described in this Privacy Policy. We may disclose your personal information to a recipient which is located outside Australia, this includes our affiliate located in Hong Kong. The laws of these countries may not provide the same level of protection in respect to your personal information as the laws of Australia.
