Security

Credit card security

Here are the steps we take to protect your details:

  1. If we send you a renewal notice most, but not all, of the numbers on your credit card will be masked. This masking of details is consistent with a worldwide payment card industry data security standard. To ensure security, your credit card details aren’t held by us, but stored securely by our bank.
  2. All details, including credit card information, submitted through the Site passes through our secure payment gateway, which offers AES-256 encryption.

Servers and cloud storage

Our main servers are located in Australia. Our suppliers have servers based in Australia and overseas.

As part of doing an online transaction, your information may be accessible to the server suppliers but not in an identifiable format. Your information is stored on third party servers for the purposes of storage only.

When this information is stored in a cloud we ensure suppliers have clear policies that abide by the Australian Privacy Principles and the Spam Act 2003.

What are cookies and how do we use them

A cookie is a text file containing a small amount of data which is downloaded to your computer or digital device when you engage within us online.

Cookies and tracking technologies are everywhere. We use cookies to improve and tailor our website to your needs. They're useful because they help us arrange the content, layout and usability of our service and to  recognise devices. Cookies enable us to better understand and analyse how people engage with our platform but it doesn't identify you personally.

You can modify your settings on your device browser to disable cookies. However this may limit the functionality and features available to you.

We sometimes contract  third-party service providers to help us understand  the data better. These service providers aren't allowed to use the information they collect on our behalf.

How we use our data

Google Analytics (GA), a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers. GA doesn't identify you personally, or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google, third party platforms and/or cloud-based services.

We use data provided by GA to help us understand How you use the platform. The information we share with GA is only identifiable within our systems. Outside of our systems, the information can't be attached to any particular member or user.

Other websites, platforms and technology

We're also present on social media sites like Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. If you "follow" us, "like" or "share" information you'll be covered by that site's privacy policy and not our own. And if you're a member of one of these sites, they may be able to connect your visits to one or more sites with other personal information.

As part of our service we provide links to providers as well as other helpful services. Once you leave our platform we are not responsible for the information on those sites or how they manage privacy and data.
