We may use information held about you to verify your compliance with any of our terms and conditions.

Any personal information submitted to us may need to be processed by a third party, for example, to process payments. By submitting personal information, you consent to the disclosure of that information to a third party, who may be located overseas, for the sole purpose of processing the submitted information.

We may also use or disclose personal information about you to avoid, lessen or prevent a serious emergency or crime. If we use or disclose personal information about you in those circumstances we will make a written record of such use or disclosure.
