- as otherwise authorised or required by law.
We may contact you regarding any of the above, including via electronic messaging such as SMS, push notification. email, by phone or in any other lawful manner.
If you do not wish your personal information to be disclosed or used in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we will use reasonable efforts to accommodate your request if practical (unless otherwise required by law).

If we enter into or intend to enter into a transaction that alters the structure of our business, including change of control of our business or a sale or transfer of business assets, we may share personal information with third parties for the purpose of facilitating or completing the transaction.
5. Management and disclosure of information
We will take reasonable steps to keep your information securely, with regard to its nature and source. We will take reasonable steps to ensure the security of your personal information, including (where practical) encryption of data when it is transferred to our service providers and limitations on access to personal information within our organisation. However, except to the extent liability cannot be excluded due to the operation of statute, we exclude all liability (including in negligence) for the consequences of any unauthorised access to, disclosure of, misuse of or loss or corruption of your personal information. Nothing in this Privacy Policy restricts, excludes or modifies or purports to restrict, exclude or modify any statutory consumer rights under any applicable law including the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (Cth).
We will destroy or permanently de-identify your information when it is no longer needed for the purpose for which we collected it (or any other purpose for which we are required or permitted by law to use or hold it).
In order to provide OK RDY services, we disclose personal information to OK RDY Partners and Groups, and to external service providers, including event managers, sponsors, IT suppliers, marketing service providers and researchers.
The OK RDY website is hosted in Australia, and all data on the OK RDY membership database (including personal information) is held by a hosting service in Australia.
We do not generally share information about you with other organisations, government agencies, or other persons without your permission, unless it is necessary for the operation of the OK RDY, to provide you with a service that you have requested, or is required by law. However in some circumstances we may share information about you with other organisations for other purposes permitted by law.
Where your personal information is disclosed, we will (where practical) seek to ensure that the information is treated as confidential and is held, used or disclosed consistently with applicable privacy laws and codes.
