Access to personal information is restricted to authorized personnel who require it for their job functions. All staff undergo privacy training, and we maintain strict policies governing data handling, retention, and disposal.

Physical Security

Our facilities and data centers employ physical security measures including access controls, surveillance systems, and environmental protections to prevent unauthorized physical access to systems containing personal information.

Secure Deletion Process

When retention periods expire, we securely delete or anonymize personal information using industry-standard methods. This includes secure erasure of digital records and proper disposal of physical documents. We maintain logs of deletion activities for audit purposes.

International Data Transfers

While we primarily store and process your information within Australia, some of our service providers may be located overseas. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place for any international transfers of your personal information.

Transfer Safeguards

When transferring personal information overseas, we use approved transfer mechanisms such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses, or binding corporate rules. We conduct due diligence on overseas recipients to ensure they provide adequate protection for your information.

Cloud Storage

We use reputable cloud service providers with strong security measures and data protection commitments. These providers are contractually bound to protect your information and may not use it for their own purposes.
