As part of its functionality, the Website also uses “cookies”.

5. Disclosure to Third Parties
We sometimes team up with third-party companies or suppliers to offer events, products or services (“Preferred Partner”). When necessary, we may provide personal information to a Preferred Partner that they need to assist in provided the services you require or the events you wish to be involved with. In these circumstances, we have arrangements in place with our Preferred Partner that limits their use or disclosure of your personal information to these purposes and in accordance with the Act.
When you purchase a ticket to List Sell Negotiate, your registration details will be shared with a third party, being Cooley Auctions as a joint promoter, at which stage they may promote their services directly to you.
Other than the above, we will not, in the course of our operations, disclose personal information to any outside parties without your consent.
In certain circumstances, we may be compelled by law to disclose personal information to various authorities, such as where we are compelled to disclose the personal information by a warrant, to react to unlawful activity, serious misconduct, or to reduce or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety.
We will not sell your personal information collected from the Website to third parties. We will not disclose your personal information to overseas recipients.

We take reasonable steps to protect any personal information that we holds from misuse and loss. We also take reasonable steps to protect that information from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
Some of the steps we take to protect our data include educating our employees about this Privacy Policy and how to handle personal information. We have internal policies in place to manage access privileges, to ensure that only those who really need to can see your personal information.
We maintain physical security, such as locks and security systems, over our electronic data servers, computers and premises. We also maintain up-to-date computer and network security, for example firewalls, anti-virus software, identification codes and passwords and other security measures, in order to control access to computer systems. We also regularly back-up our electronic data to minimise loss of data in the event of system failures.
We do not warrant the security of any information supplied through the Website. While we will take all reasonable steps to ensure that our electronic data is transferred and stored securely, we do not warrant that any information supplied through the Website is safe in all events of unauthorised access.
