Where we engage service providers, we aim to ensure they handle personal information in a manner consistent with this Privacy Policy and applicable law.
8. International transfers
Some of our service providers or systems may be located outside Australia or may store data in other countries. This means your personal information may be processed in jurisdictions that have different data protection laws.

We retain personal information for as long as it is reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
When personal information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to delete it or de-identify it where appropriate.
