Automatic information

When you visit our website, we may also automatically collect some technical information like your IP address, browser type, pages you visit, and time spent on each page. This is standard website analytics data and is not used to identify you personally.

• When legally required to comply with Australian law

We do not sell or rent your information to third parties for marketing purposes. Ever.

How we keep your information safe

We take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. This includes secure password storage, encrypted website traffic, and regular reviews of who has access to what.

That said, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
