5.2 Cross-Border Disclosure

Some of our third-party service providers are located outside Australia, including in the United States and the European Union. Before disclosing personal information to an overseas recipient, we take one or more of the following steps as required by APP 8.1 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth):

• We rely on a data processing agreement that contractually requires the overseas recipient to handle the information consistently with the APPs; or

• We confirm the recipient is subject to a law or binding scheme that overall provides comparable privacy protections to the APPs.

Specific overseas recipients we use include Google LLC (United States), subject to Google's EU-US Data Privacy Framework commitments and GDPR compliance. Google's privacy practices are available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

In limited circumstances where we rely on the APP 8.2(b) exception, we will expressly notify you before disclosing your information to an overseas recipient on that basis, inform you that APP 8.1 will not apply, and obtain your express informed consent before proceeding.
