1. Collecting Personal Information
The types of personal information we collect and hold vary depending on your interaction with us. This may include:
* Name, address(es), telephone number(s), and other contact details;
* Email address(es);
* Payment information (such as credit card or bank details);
* Other personal information required to provide our services;
* Transaction details related to your use of our products, services, or benefits.
We may also collect information regarding your current or previous education and employment, student identification details, or how you finance your property. We automatically receive and record information from your browser when you interact with our services, such as your IP address, search queries, cookies, mobile device identification, and the listings or pages you visit.
If reasonable and practical, we collect personal information directly from you—for example, when you register an account, communicate with Teamlink staff, or complete an application via the Business Portal.
We may also collect information through:
* Our related bodies corporate;
* Business partners; and
* Third-party service providers.
We may obtain personal information from your representatives or publicly available sources. All personal information collected is reasonably necessary for us to provide services to you, maintain your relationship with us, respond to your enquiries, and send relevant communications.
If someone provides us with personal information about you that we did not request but could have collected directly, we will notify you unless doing so would breach an obligation of confidentiality. If we could not have lawfully collected it, we will de-identify or destroy the information.
We will not collect sensitive information (e.g. race, ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, union memberships, or health details) unless:
* You provide express consent and the information is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities;
* It is required or authorised under Australian law or by a court or tribunal; or
* It is necessary for legal claims.
If we are unable to collect required personal information, we may not be able to provide our services to you.

By providing your personal information, you consent to such overseas transfers, acknowledging that privacy protections may differ from your country of residence. You may request that we not transfer your data overseas, but this may limit our ability to provide services to you.

We have procedures in place to investigate potential data breaches. If a breach involving your personal information occurs and requires notification, we will comply with the Privacy Act obligations.
