or electronic storage of data, is completely secure. You acknowledge, agree and accept that
we do not guarantee or warrant the security of any information that you provide to us, and
that you transmit such information at your own risk. However, we take the protection and

(12) TRANSFERS OF YOUR INFORMATION TO OTHER JURISDICTIONS
(a) Our business is based in Australia.
(b) We may need to share some of the information that we collect about you from the UK
and/or the European Economic Area ("EEA") with organisations both inside and outside
Australia. In some cases, we may need to ask you before we do this.
(c) Australia has strict data protection laws but they vary in some respects from the
data protection laws in the UK and the EEA. In addition, the European Commission has
not given a formal decision that Australia provides an adequate level of data protection
similar to that which applies in the UK and EEA.
(d) We might also store your information in cloud storage or some other form of networked
storage. This storage may be accessible from various countries via the internet, which
means it is not always practicable to determine the countries in which your information
might be stored or accessed. If this occurs, then this might mean that your information
is disclosed in countries other than those listed above.
(e) Many countries outside of the UK and the EEA do not have the same data protection
laws as the UK and EEA. In addition, the European Commission may not have given a formal
decision that the relevant countries provide an adequate level of data protection similar
to that which applies in the UK and EEA.
(f) If we transfer, share, store or handle your information outside of the UK or the EEA,
it will only be done with relevant protections in place. We will take steps to ensure that
your information will be protected in accordance with applicable data protection laws and
in accordance with legally recognised data transfer mechanisms, for example:
- where the European Commission has given a formal decision that the relevant country
provides an adequate level of data protection similar to that which applies in the UK and
EEA- by adopting a European Commission approved contract, or standard data protection
clauses in the form of template transfer clauses adopted by the Commission, that will
safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a security
breach- in accordance with a set of European Commission approved binding corporate rules
that will safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a
security breach- subject to our compliance with an approved code of conduct approved by
a supervisory authority that will safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies
in the unlikely event of a security breach- subject to the terms of our certification
under an approved certification mechanism as provided for in the GDPR that will
safeguard your privacy rights and give you remedies in the unlikely event of a security
breach
(g) Any transfers to these countries will be undertaken on the basis that the country,
territory or one or more specific sectors in that country, or an international
organisation ensures an adequate level of protection.
(h) For more information on the basis of any non-EEA transfers, our safeguards or
Commission details, please contact us as described below.
(13) ACCESSING, UPDATING AND CORRECTING YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
(a) We are committed to ensuring that any of your personal information which we are
holding is accurate and kept up to date.
(b) We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that personal information which is
inaccurate (having regard to the purposes for which it was processed) is erased or
rectified without delay.
(c) You have the right to request access to any of your personal information which
we are holding.
(d) You have the right to request that any of your personal information which we
are holding be updated or corrected.
