What is personal information and why do we collect it?

We collect your personal information for the primary purpose of providing our services and information to you, as well as marketing.

• With your consent; or where required or authorised by law.

Third parties

We train our workers about the importance of confidentiality and maintaining the privacy and security of your information.
