How information may be disclosed and how it is protected

In providing our products and services, we may disclose your personal information to organisations that carry out functions on our behalf, such as our business associates, professional advisors, contractors, agents or service providers.

We continually review these arrangements to ensure we are doing all that are reasonably and technically feasible at the time to protect your information.
