6. How we share information
We may share personal information with:
- Service providers / subprocessors (cloud hosting, data storage, email, support tools, analytics, identity‑verification, sanctions‑screening, payment processing) under contracts requiring them to protect personal information and use it only for our specified purposes.

- Professional advisers – lawyers, auditors and insurers, where reasonably necessary.
- Regulators and law enforcement – where we are legally required or permitted to do so.

We do not allow our subprocessors to use your Customer Data for their own marketing.
7. International transfers
Our infrastructure and some service providers may be located outside Australia or your home jurisdiction. Where personal information is transferred internationally, we take reasonable steps to ensure an appropriate level of protection (for example, by using standard contractual clauses and working with reputable providers that follow recognised security and privacy standards).
