We will only use or disclose personal information for the purpose it was collected, a related purpose you would reasonably expect, or as otherwise permitted by law.

We take reasonable steps to ensure third parties handle personal information appropriately.

5) Overseas disclosure

Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is protected in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
Countries may include: [insert if known, e.g., United States, Ireland, Singapore] or “various locations depending on the provider”.
