The APPs govern personal information collection, use, and disclosure, giving individuals the right to access and correct their data. Additionally, specific provisions address direct marketing (APP 7) and cross-border disclosure of personal information (APP 8).

- APP 5: Entities must notify individuals of the collection of personal information at or before or as soon as practicable after the collection.
- APP 7: Personal information cannot be used for direct marketing unless exceptions apply.
- APP 8: Entities must take reasonable steps to prevent overseas recipients from breaching Australian Privacy Principles before disclosing personal information abroad.
Personal Information, as defined under the Act, encompasses any information or opinion about an identified or reasonably identifiable individual, regardless of its truthfulness or form of recording. This includes customer contact details, billing information, and transaction history.
We strictly adhere to the Australian Privacy Principles for all personal information collected from our customers and any other individuals. Specifically:
We only collect personal information from individuals who have registered for our services, handling unsolicited information according to the APPs and our Privacy Policy.
Personal information is used solely for the purposes outlined in our Privacy Policy, and disclosure is limited to third-party vendors necessary for service provision.
Where feasible, we provide customers with access to their personal information, delete requested data, and retain it only as necessary for service provision.
