We will only grant access to others to view your personal information where we believe it is necessary and in your best interests for those people to view your personal information. In general, only our employees or subcontractors may view your personal information.

5.2 International transfers
If we transfer your personal information overseas, we will first obtain your written consent before doing so.

5.3 Where is your personal information stored?
We may store your personal information in both hard copy and on computer.

6. Our websites and email
Any personal information collected from you via our websites and via email is governed by this policy. We may collect information about you from our websites via any forms you fill in, any cookies we install on your computer or any transactions you undertake with us. We may also track your viewing habits to allow us to tailor your web surfing experience. Where we communicate by email with you, we may ask you for personal information which is related to the purpose of that communication.
7. Direct marketing
If we collect personal information for direct marketing purposes (either to market ours or someone else’s products), then we will try to first obtain your consent before we market directly to you.

9. When we may withhold access to your personal information
9.1 When we can withhold your information
We may withhold access to your personal information in a number of circumstances. These include where:
(a) Providing access would pose a serious and imminent threat to the life or health of a person;

9.2 Written reasons
If we do withhold your personal information, we will provide you with written reasons.
9.3 Third party intermediary
If we withhold access to your personal information, we will consider whether the provision of access to an independent third party will meet both of our needs.
