We may also collect personal information from credit reporting agencies and from searches we conduct, including from the PPS and ASIC registers.

When you visit our website, we may also collect information about your browsing using “cookies,” as commonly used by most web sites, which are packets of information allowing the hosting computer to identify and interact with you.

• We are required by law to disclose the information or are requested to disclose the information by a law enforcement agency or where there is an exemption from the operation of the Privacy Principles
• You are in default of your commitments to us, in which case we may release your details and the history of your transactions with us to our legal advisers, debt collection agencies, credit reference bodies or other relevant authorities
• We are asked to share that information with a credit bureau or reporting agency

Subject to any legal restraints on us including any confidentiality obligations owed to third parties, and subject to verification of your identity, you have a right to access the personal information that we hold about you. If you wish to access that information, please contact our office.
