Likely destinations include the United States and the European Union (for example: payments processing providers such as Stripe; mapping providers such as Google; document/PDF processing providers such as PDF.co; cloud hosting, storage and email partners). We take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information in a manner consistent with the APPs.

10. Data Security (APP 11)

We implement administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure (including encryption in transit, access controls, and regular reviews). When information is no longer required for any permitted purpose, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de‑identify it.

11. Data Quality (APP 10)

We take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, up‑to‑date, complete and relevant. You can update your details in‑app or by contacting us.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. You may request account deletion; some records may be retained where legally required.

18. Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) Scheme
