INTERNET-BASED TRANSFERS
Given that the Internet is a global environment, using the Internet to collect and process personal data necessarily involves the transmission of data on an international basis. Some of the data processors engaged to process personal data may be based outside of Australia.
Such a transfer of data does not take place unless we reasonably believe that the recipient of personal information outside Australia is subject to principles of fair handling that are substantially similar to the APP or stronger; or the transfer is necessary for the performance of a contract between you and us, or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken in response to a request by you; or the transfer is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract concluded in your interest between us and a third party; or all of the following apply:
the transfer is for your benefit;
it is impracticable to obtain your consent to the transfer; and
if it were practicable to obtain such consent, you would be likely to give it; or we have taken reasonable steps to ensure that the information which it has transferred will not be held, used or disclosed by the recipient of the information inconsistently with the APP.
Information posted on bulletin boards or communicated within a social media environment (e.g., LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, WhatsApp and general chat rooms) and any chat room spaces on the Website (if provided) becomes public information, including within private direct messaging. We cannot guarantee the security of this type of disclosed information.
