When we collect Personal Information we will, where appropriate and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting it, who we will give it to and how we will use or disclose it. Alternatively, those matters will be obvious from the circumstances.

We also might collect Personal Information from third parties where you have agreed with them that your Personal Information might be shared. We don’t guarantee website links or privacy policy of authorised third parties.

We will generally use or disclose your Personal Information for the primary purpose for which it was collected (as set out in clause 1 above). We may also use or disclose your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure. We may otherwise use or disclose your Personal Information if you have given us consent for the use or disclosure, or it is required or authorised by law.

If those purposes for which we have collected the information involve disclosing your Personal Information to a third party, we will take appropriate and reasonable steps to ensure that Personal information is protected.

5. Security of Personal Information

Your Personal Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from misuse, loss and any unauthorised access, use, modification or disclosure.
