We may also collect other digital identifiers, such as your mobile device’s advertising identifier when using our Apps.
Our Apps may use location data, such as during registration processes to provide targeted content. However, we do not store any location data associated with your usage of our Apps unless we expressly advise otherwise.
How do we collect personal information?
We will collect and hold your personal information in a fair and lawful manner, and not in an intrusive way.

If someone other than you provide us with personal information about you, for example our client provides us with personal information for the purposes of performing any services we are engaged to perform, we will take such steps (if any) as are reasonable in the circumstances to notify you (either directly or via the third party) or otherwise ensure that you are aware that this has occurred.
2. COOKIES
When you visit one of our Websites the server may attach a “cookie” to your computer’s memory. A “cookie” assists us to store information on how visitors to a Website use it and the pages that may be of most interest. If you choose, you are able to configure your computer so that it disables “cookies” or does not accept them.
Our servers may record other information about or relating to you, such as the time and date of your visit or the IP address assigned to the device you are using to access our Apps or Site. In many cases, we cannot and do not use this information to identify you personally. Rather, we simply use this information for the operation of the Websites and Apps, to maintain the quality of the Websites and Apps, and to provide general statistics regarding the use of the Websites and Apps.

If you request access to the personal information, we hold about you, we will respond to your request within a reasonable period of time and, where reasonable and practicable, give access to the information in the manner you request.

From time to time, we may engage an overseas recipient to provide services to us, such as cloud-based storage solutions. Please note that the use of overseas service providers to store personal information will not always involve a disclosure of personal information to that overseas provider.
If we do send your information overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient of the information protects the security of that information to the standards required under Australian law.
6. SECURITY AND STORAGE
We will use all reasonable endeavours to keep your personal information in a secure environment. We maintain appropriate physical, procedural and technical security for our offices and information storage facilities in order to seek to prevent any loss, misuse, unauthorised access, disclosure, or modification of personal information. This also applies to disposal of personal information.
