Share details with selected Partners so they can contact you.
Verify contactability (phone/email checks), prevent fraud/duplicates, maintain Do-Not-Call preferences.

By submitting a form or interacting with us, you consent to our collection, use and disclosure of your information as described. You may:
Unsubscribe email marketing via the link in any message.
Opt-out of SMS by replying STOP; reply HELP for help.
Ask not to be called; we will place you on our internal Do-Not-Call list.

6) Cookies, pixels & analytics
We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., Google Analytics, Meta Pixel) to understand use of our Services and improve advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser; some features may not work as intended.
7) Disclosing information
We may disclose personal information:
to service providers (hosting, analytics, communications, verification, security) under contracts that restrict use to our instructions;
to Partners to respond to your request;
to comply with law, enforce our terms, or protect rights, property or safety;
as part of a business transaction;
otherwise with your consent or as permitted by law.
8) Overseas disclosures
Some service providers or data storage may be located outside Australia (e.g., United States, Canada, EU, Singapore). Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient will handle it in a manner consistent with the APPs (APP 8).
9) Security
We use administrative, technical and physical safeguards appropriate to the sensitivity of the information (encryption in transit, access controls, logging and staff training). No method is perfectly secure; please take care online.
10) Access & correction (APP 12 & 13)
You may request access to personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct it if inaccurate, out-of-date or incomplete. We may need to verify your identity and, in limited cases, may refuse access in accordance with the APPs (we’ll tell you why).
11) Retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes above, including maintaining consent logs and resolving disputes, then de-identify or securely destroy it.

The Services are for people 18+. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
13) Complaints
If you have a privacy concern, contact our Privacy Officer first. We will respond within a reasonable time (usually 30 days).
