Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient handles your information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.

7. Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. This includes secure storage of client records and restricting access to personal information to those who need it to perform their role.

No method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to us.

8. Data Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law (including tax and business record-keeping obligations under Australian law). When no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely delete or de-identify the information.
