Usually we will obtain your personal information directly from you, however, we may also collect personal information about you from third parties as reasonably necessary in connection with our functions and activities. We may collect personal information about you from time to time without you being aware that we have done so (e.g. via cookies on your web browser to analyse trend data).

 

Purposes for collecting personal information and who we disclose it to.

If you do not provide us with the personal information we ask for, or the information provided is incorrect or incomplete, we may not be able to provide you with products/services that you have requested.

Generally, we will only use or disclose your personal information for the purpose that it was collected.  However, we may use or disclose your personal information for secondary purposes that relate to our activities if we have your consent to do so or we are permitted to do so under the APPs. 

We will only collect, hold and use your personal information if it reasonably necessary for us to pursue our objects and purpose; perform our functions and activities; provide you with products and services; manage our relationship with you; contact you, for example to respond to your queries or complaints; identify and tell you about other products or services that we think may be of interest to you; and comply with our legal obligations, including in assisting government and law enforcement agencies.

We may disclose your personal information to the following kinds of entities: our contractors, consultants, advisers, associates and related entities; entities that provide services to us; any industry body, tribunal, court or otherwise in connection with any complaint made by you about us; and other entities with your consent or as permitted or required by law.
