To ensure your privacy is protected, information from your records will not be disclosed by us, unless requested by you, or when compelled by law enforcement agencies.
We use trusted external providers to host and maintain our website, store emails and operate communication services. These providers are located in Australia, the USA, the EU, and Switzerland, and are subject to their respective laws. Providers have their own privacy policies in place to keep your personal information confidential and secure.
While we take great care in selecting only the most reliable service providers, we do not control their operation, and can not be held responsible for their performance, their Terms and Conditions, or the statutory framework they operate under.
Please note, in some areas of our website links to other sites can be found. These sites are not controlled by us, and therefore we cannot take responsibility for their content, claims of offer, or privacy practices.
We will disclose any information we have collected from you to law enforcement agencies and security services, if you act in a threatening, vilifying, or otherwise unlawful manner towards us, our contractors, or business partners.
