When you close your account, we will securely delete your information within 90 days, except where longer retention is required by law.

Legal Disclosures

We may disclose your information when required by Australian law, court orders, or regulatory requests. This includes compliance with anti-money laundering regulations and other financial services requirements. We will notify you of such disclosures when legally permitted to do so.

While our primary data storage occurs within Australia, some of our service providers may process your information in other countries with adequate privacy protections. We ensure that any international transfers comply with Australian privacy law requirements and include appropriate safeguards.

We only transfer data to countries with equivalent privacy protections or under specific contractual safeguards that maintain the same level of protection as Australian privacy laws.
