It includes any expression of opinion about the individual and any indication of the intentions of the recipient or any other person in respect of that individual.
This Privacy Policy applies to your Personal Information, in relation to your access and use of this website and the Platform Services, regardless of the way we collect it, for example via the website, when you respond to a survey or questionnaire, or when you contact us.
By submitting information to us and/or accessing and using the website and the Platform Services, you consent to us using and disclosing your Personal Information in the ways described in this Privacy Policy.

Principle
We treat all information we collect from you as strictly confidential.

We may provide those third parties with access to and use of your Personal Information for the sole purpose of them providing their services to us. We will use reasonable endeavours to ensure that those third parties only use your Personal Information for the specific purposes for which it is provided to them and consistently with this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your Personal Information without notice or your consent:
to our professional advisors,
if we sell or merge our business (or part of it) with another organization or enter into a joint venture in connection with our business (or any part of it),
to law enforcement authorities, if we suspect that an unlawful act is being committed or that such disclosure will prevent that unlawful act, or
as otherwise required or authorised by law.
Apart from those disclosures, we will not give, sell, rent, loan or otherwise disclose any Personal Information to any third party, unless:
We may however share aggregated, non-personal information about website usage with unaffiliated third parties. This aggregated information does not contain any Personal Information about users of the website or the Platform Services.
Our relationships with third party service providers are governed by our contracts with them. If any third party service provider to whom we disclose your Personal Information is located outside Australia, we will use our reasonable endeavours to negotiate service contracts with those providers that contain privacy and confidentiality provisions consistent with our obligations under the Act. How do we collect and use information that is not Personal Information?
We operate statistics gathering software on the website to collect information about the number of visitors coming to the site.

From time to time, we may disclose information you provide to us that is not Personal Information (and does not disclose your identity). For example, disclose or use information you provide to us that is not Personal Information to determine what advertising, promotional materials, products or services are likely to be of most interest to you or other website users and visitors.
We may also modify your Personal Information (through encryption or other de-identifying techniques) so that it is in a form from which you cannot be identified and sell or disclose such modified information to any person for any purpose, including to people or companies located outside Australia.
