Internet Privacy Policy should be reviewed periodically so that you are

this policy will protect your personal information from being dealt with
in any way that is inconsistent with applicable privacy laws in
Australia.
Use of Information

only for the purpose for which it is submitted or for such other
secondary purposes that are related to the primary purpose, unless we
disclose other uses in this Internet Privacy Policy or at the time of
