2.4 Transferring information overseas

We typically do not transfer personal information to any entity outside Australia. In the event that we do disclose information to an overseas recipient, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the Principles in relation to the disclosed personal information unless:

  • We reasonably believe that the recipient of the information is subject to legal obligations that uphold principles for the protection and fair handling of personal information that are substantially the same as the Principles.
  • We are given consent by the individual concerned to do so, expressly or by implication after they are expressly informed that the Act will not apply in relation to the management of personal information by the overseas recipient and the individual may not be able to seek redress under the Act for any subsequent breaches of the Principles; or
  • We are legally authorised or required to do so.

2.5 Direct marketing

We may use your personal information to market products and services to you.

2.6 Sensitive information

We may need to collect sensitive information about you or others, including health-related information, which is used to determine your eligibility to receive certain government concessions. Where we are required to and it is practicable to do so, we will seek your consent before collecting your sensitive information and inform you of the purpose of the collection at that time. Your consent to the collection of your sensitive information may be implied in limited circumstances.
