4. Property Inspection Reports

 

Inspection reports may contain property addresses, photographs, observations and other information collected during an inspection.

These providers are only given access to the information reasonably necessary for them to perform their services.

 

Some third-party service providers may store or process information outside Australia. Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information is handled appropriately and in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

 

6. Website Cookies and Analytics

 

Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to operate correctly, remember preferences and understand how visitors use the website.

We may use third-party analytics or advertising services that collect information such as your IP address, device type, browser, general location and website activity. This information helps us improve website performance and assess the effectiveness of our marketing.

8. Storage and Security

 

We take reasonable administrative, technical and physical measures to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

 

These measures may include access controls, password protection, secure hosting, software updates and restricted access to business records.

 

Although we take reasonable precautions, no method of transmitting or storing information electronically is completely secure. You provide information online at your own risk.

When personal information is no longer reasonably required, we may securely destroy or de-identify it, unless we are required to retain it for legal, taxation, insurance or business-record purposes.
