- courts, regulators, government authorities or law-enforcement bodies where disclosure is legally required;
- other parties where you have authorised the disclosure; or

Where third-party service providers process personal information on our behalf, reasonable steps should be taken to ensure that information is handled appropriately.

Reasonable technical and organisational measures are used to protect personal information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access, alteration or disclosure.
However, no method of transmission or electronic storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Personal information will generally be retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, subject to applicable legal, regulatory, professional and operational requirements.
Enquiries that do not result in an instruction may be retained for an appropriate period for administrative, record-keeping, security or legal purposes.
