We may disclose your Personal Information to entities that assist us to deliver our services, such as our business associates, contractors, agents or service providers and, as noted elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, our affiliated companies. These third parties may change from time to time. Some examples include technology and internet service providers, data storage providers, digital mail providers who send communications on our behalf and their implementation partners. We may also use graphic designers, printers and posting services to assist us with design, printing and distribution of communications. Where it is necessary for Personal Information to be provided to a third party in connection with the provision of a service to us, we will take reasonable steps within our power to prevent the unauthorised use or unauthorised disclosure of the Personal Information.

We do not disclose Personal Information to third parties for the purpose of third party direct marketing.

From time to time, we may provide third parties with information in the form of statistical representations about our users collectively and for the purpose of statistical analysis. Where we provide such information to third parties for this limited statistical purpose, we will not provide information in such a way that your identity may be obtained. To the extent this information does not constitute Personal Information (as defined in the Australian Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) or the New Zealand Privacy Act 2020 (NZ)) or is otherwise not governed by applicable privacy legislation in the relevant jurisdiction, the Australian Privacy Principles, the New Zealand information privacy principles or other applicable privacy legislation, and this Privacy Policy, will not apply.

c) Other permitted disclosures

We may also disclose your Personal Information under the following circumstances:

  • when you have consented to such disclosure;
  • when you would reasonably expect us to use or disclose your Personal Information in a certain way;
  • when the disclosure is one of the purposes in connection with which the information was obtained or is directly related to the purposes in connection with which the information was obtained;
  • when the source of the information is a publicly available publication and, in the particular circumstances, it would not be unfair or unreasonable to disclose the information;
  • when authorised or required to do so by a court or under applicable laws or regulations (for example, a subpoena), or where requested by a government agency;
  • where we consider a company or an individual may be engaged in fraudulent activity or other deceptive practices of which a governmental agency should be made aware;
  • to appropriate persons, where your communication suggests possible harm to yourself or others; or
  • when disclosure is reasonably necessary for a law enforcement related activity.

d) Cross-border disclosure of your Personal Information

We may disclose your Personal Information offshore for various reasons, such as for the purposes of:

  • obtaining legal services in foreign countries;
  • for administrative and other purposes within the Anaqua-affiliated companies to facilitate the conduct of our businesses.

The types of foreign entities to which we may disclose your Personal Information include:

  • Anaqua-affiliated companies located in various countries, including in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, India, Japan, Norway, the United Kingdom and the United States of America, and any other jurisdictions in which we may operate in the future;
  • our agents or other providers in foreign countries;
  • government bodies and other entities that administer intellectual property in overseas jurisdictions; and
  • our service providers located overseas, which may include technology and internet service providers, data storage providers and digital mail providers who send communications on our behalf.

You agree and acknowledge that the overseas recipients of your Personal Information will be subject to the privacy laws of their local jurisdiction. These overseas privacy laws are likely to be different to:

  • if we are located within Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles;
  • if we are located within New Zealand, the Privacy Act 2020 (NZ) and information privacy principles set out in that Act; or
  • in the other jurisdictions in which we operate, other applicable personal data protection legislation,

Such that overseas recipients may not be required to protect your Personal Information in a way that provides comparable safeguards to those in your own jurisdiction and you may not be able to seek redress in the relevant overseas jurisdiction in relation to breaches of your privacy.

You acknowledge and agree to such international data and information transfers with respect to Personal Information of the nature described in this section 6.

For our Australian businesses, clause 8.1 of the Australian Privacy Principles contained in Schedule 1 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) provides that if we disclose Personal Information about an individual to a recipient based outside of Australia, then we must take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to ensure the overseas recipient does not breach the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to such information. An exception to this is if we obtain your consent. We intend to rely on this exception in the following way. Unless you notify us in writing to the contrary, you will be taken to have consented to the disclosure by our Australian businesses of Personal Information to overseas recipients on the basis that:

  • clause 8.1 of the Australian Privacy Principles will not apply to such disclosure;
  • the individual whose Personal Information is disclosed will not be able to seek redress under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth);
  • the overseas recipient may not be subject to any privacy obligations or to any principles similar to the Australian Privacy Principles;
  • the individual may not be able to seek redress in the overseas jurisdiction; and
  • the overseas recipient is subject to a foreign law that could compel the disclosure of Personal Information to a third party, such as an overseas authority.

Similar provisions may exist under privacy legislation in other jurisdictions in which Anaqua-affiliated companies are located. If such provisions are applicable to an Anaqua-affiliated company holding your personal information, you acknowledge and consent to such cross-border disclosure on the basis outlined above (substituting references to the standards and remedies available under the applicable privacy legislation in the relevant entity’s jurisdiction).

7. Keeping your Personal Information safe

a) Security

We make every effort to ensure Personal Information is kept secure and take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, loss, interference, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

In terms of system security, here are some of the things we do to protect your Personal Information:

  • we store Personal Information in a variety of formats including on databases, in hard copy files and on personal devices, including laptop computers;
  • we retain Personal Information in secure hard copy and electronic files;
  • we use firewalls, standard software protection programs, password access protections and secure servers;
  • Personal Information in files that have been closed and archived may be stored in our offsite storage facility. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third parties who handle files maintained in offsite facilities (including online data storage facilities) act consistently with this Privacy Policy;
  • we regularly review our security arrangements to ensure we are taking reasonable and technically feasible steps available at the time to protect your Personal Information; and
  • we take reasonable steps to destroy, erase or permanently de-identify Personal Information as soon as practicable if it is no longer required by us (including being required for record keeping or legal purposes).

As you will appreciate, since no system is 100% secure or error-free, we cannot guarantee that your Personal Information is totally protected, for example, from hackers, interference or misappropriation. You acknowledge that the security of online transactions and the security of communications sent by electronic means or by post cannot be guaranteed. You provide information to us via the internet or by post at your own risk. We cannot accept responsibility for misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, your Personal Information where the security of information is not within our control.

If you suspect any misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, your Personal Information, please contact us immediately using the contact details set out in section 10.

b) Exceptions

If we do not agree to provide you with access to, or to amend or erase, your Personal Information as requested or otherwise meet your requests, we will notify you accordingly. Where appropriate, we will provide you with the reason(s) for our decision and the mechanisms available to complain about the refusal. If the rejection relates to a request to change your Personal Information, you may make a statement about the requested change and we will attach this to your record.

In some circumstances, and subject always to legal obligations to the contrary, we may not be in a position to grant access to your Personal Information or otherwise meet your requests with respect to your Personal Information, including when:

  • your Personal Information is not retrievable;
  • the request is frivolous or vexatious; or
  • providing access or otherwise meeting your request:
