We will not use your personal information
for any other purpose, nor will we disclose
it to any other third party, unless
with your consent or in other circumstances
where such use or disclosure is permitted
under the Privacy Act (for example where
legally required in the investigation
of a criminal offence, or in compliance
with a subpoena).

general information and newsletters
regarding Insurance Choice products
and services which we believe may be

managers, investment managers, external

by Insurance Choice to perform specific
tasks on a case-by-case basis, others
provide insurance and financial services
to you as recommended by us. Where your
personal information is provided to
these third parties to enable them to
perform their agreed activities, they
are required to abide by the National
Privacy Principles and use the personal
information provided just for the service
they supply. |
