6. Data Storage and Security
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. We use industry-standard security measures including encryption, secure servers, and access controls.
Your data may be stored on servers located in Australia or overseas. Where we transfer your information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient handles your information in accordance with the APPs.
