If we transfer your data outside of Australia (e.g., to third-party providers located overseas), we will take steps to ensure that your personal data is protected to a standard equivalent to Australian privacy protections.

5. Data Retention and Disposal

We retain your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.
