5. Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to:

Overseas disclosure
Some of the third-party service providers we use (for example, cloud hosting or analytics platforms such as Google) may store or process information on servers located outside Australia, including in the United States. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure these providers handle personal information in a manner consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
6. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our Website uses cookies and similar tracking technologies, including Google Tag Manager and Google Ads conversion tracking, to:
- Understand how visitors use our Website.
- Improve Website functionality and content.
- Measure the effectiveness of our online presence.
- Measure the performance of our Google Ads advertising campaigns, including which ads led to an enquiry, phone call, or form submission (“conversions”).
Google Ads conversion tracking uses a cookie placed on your device when you click on one of our ads. This allows us to see, in aggregate, that someone clicked our ad and later took an action on our Website. We do not use this data to identify you personally, but Google’s own privacy policy governs how it handles this information — see policies.google.com/privacy.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. You can disable cookies through your browser settings, and you can opt out of personalised advertising through Google’s Ads Settings (adssettings.google.com); however, this may affect the functionality of the Website or the relevance of ads you see.
7. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. This includes restricting access to personal information to authorised personnel and using secure systems for storing electronic records.
