Disclosures:  We share your personal information to our employees, professional advisers, agents or subcontractors, but only if it is reasonably necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

We may need to disclose personal information to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, during a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request.

We may also use your personal information to protect the copyright, trademarks, legal rights, property or safety of Ask Katie, and users       or third parties.

Any information that we collect can be stored, processed in or transferred between parties located in countries outside of Australia, such as Pakistan.

If the control of our business changes, or we sell or transfer our business assets, we can transfer             (if the law says we can) our user databases, together with any personal information and non-personal information contained in those databases. This information may be disclosed to a potential buyer under a confidentiality agreement. We would seek to only disclose information in good faith and where required by any of the above circumstances.

By giving us your personal information, you consent to the terms of this Privacy Policy and the types of disclosure covered by this Privacy Policy. If we disclose your personal information to third parties, we will ensure that the third party follows this Privacy Policy.

Data security: We are committed to ensuring that the information you provide to us is secure. We have put in place suitable physical, electronic and administrative procedures to safeguard and secure information and protect it from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorized access, modification and disclosure. The transmission and exchange of information is carried out at your own risk. We cannot guarantee the security of any information that you transmit to us or receive from us. Although we take steps to safeguard against unauthorized disclosures of information, we cannot assure you that personal information that we collect will not be disclosed in a manner that is inconsistent with this Privacy Policy.

Access: You can ask for access to the personal information we hold about you at any time, by using our contact details below. We will promptly acknowledge your request for access and let you know when we will give you the information you have asked for. If we refuse access, we will give you a written notice which sets out the reasons for our refusal (unless the law says we don’t have to tell you).  We will tell you how you can complain about our refusal. We can charge you for our reasonable costs in giving you access to your personal information.

Correction: We make sure that the personal information we hold is accurate, up-to-date, complete and, in the case of use and disclosure, relevant. If we believe that the information we hold is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, we will take reasonable steps to correct that information and (if you ask and it is reasonable, and we are able to do so) to notify that correction to third parties that may have received the incorrect information from us. If you believe that information we hold about you should be corrected, you can request that we do so, by using our contact details below. If we do not agree with the corrections you have asked for, we do not have to alter your personal information. Instead, we will give you a written notice which sets out the reasons for our refusal (unless the law says we don’t have to tell you).  We will tell you how you can complain about our refusal.
