- These third parties assist us by performing functions such as client contact, archiving, auditing, professional advisory, banking, data processing, marketing and advertising, data analysis, business intelligence, website and technology services. They may also provide products and services that integrate with or complement our solutions;
- Each of the third parties that we contract with is carefully selected and is only authorised to use your personal information in a secure way that's necessary for them to perform their service to us;
- Some of our related companies and third parties that we share information with may be located outside of Australia, in the United States, Singapore, India, the Philippines, New Zealand and other countries; and
- We'll also disclose your personal information if we are required by law or permitted by the Privacy Act to do so.
4.3 Aggregated data

- tailor the way that we communicate with you about our products and services so that we can interact with you more effectively; and
- create helpful insights for the business community.
- We sometimes share aggregated data with our business or industry partners.
5. Holding your personal information and keeping it safe
- We typically hold the personal information that we collect either on electronic databases or as hard copy documents;
- The security of your personal information is fundamental to the way that we do business. We take all reasonable steps to protect personal information from unauthorised access, use or disclosure, in line with industry standards;
- We do this by employing a range of security measures to protect the personal information that we hold;
- You can confirm that a data-entry page uses encryption by checking that:
- the page address in the web browser's tool bar or status bar begins with https://
- You control access to your account with a username and password of your choice. You should choose a strong password and keep it protected from others to prevent unauthorised access;
- We're also committed to protecting your information offline. All of your personal and business information, not just personal information and sensitive information, is subject to access controls; and
- Whilst we take all reasonable measures to protect your personal information when it's in our hands, it's important to note that we're unable to guarantee the security of the internet as a whole. If you're using your product and service online, please ensure that you're doing so in a secure environment. In addition, if you use email to send and receive your personal information, please be aware that the information may be less secure in transit.
