DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES
Information provided to us may be shared with our suppliers in order to provide better services, fast and accurate delivery of goods and the best quality of the products.
Other than as set forth above, we do not share personally identifiable information with other companies, apart from those acting as our agents in providing our product(s)/service(s), and which agree to use it only for that purpose and to keep the information secure and confidential. Also, our parent, subsidiary and affiliate companies, entities into which our company may be merged, or entities to which any of our assets, products, sites or operations may be transferred, will be able to use personal information. We will also disclose information we maintain when required to do so by law, for example, in response to a court order or a subpoena or other legal obligation, in response to a law enforcement agency’s request, or in special cases when we have reason to believe that disclosing this information is necessary to identify, contact or bring legal action against someone who may be causing injury to or interference with (either intentionally or unintentionally) our rights or property. Users should also be aware that Australian legal authorities, such as the court, might have the authority under certain circumstances to permit personal information to be shared or transferred to third parties without permission.

We may share aggregate information, which is not personally identifiable, with others. This information may include usage and demographic data, but it will not include personal information.
DIRECT MARKETING
The Murray Files will only use or disclose Personal Information for the purpose of direct marketing where such use or disclosure is permitted by Australian Privacy Principle 7. When engaging in direct marketing The Murray Files will provide a simple means by which an individual may easily request not to receive direct marketing communications from The Murray Files and The Murray Files will include a prominent statement that the individual may make such a request. The Murray Files will also comply with any such request.
ACCESS TO PERSONAL INFORMATION
If The Murray Files holds Personal Information about an individual it will normally, on request by the individual, give the individual access to the information. However, there may be some legal reasons to deny access. If access is denied The Murray Files will provide the individual with the reasons why.
If a user’s personally identifiable information changes (such as the post code), or if a user no longer desires our product(s)/service(s), we provide a way to correct or update that user’s personal data.
SECURITY
We use reasonable precautions to protect our users’ personal information and to store it securely. Sensitive information that is transmitted to us online is encrypted and is transmitted to us securely. In addition, access to all of our users’ information, not just the sensitive information mentioned above, is restricted.

Finally, the servers on which we store personally identifiable information are kept in a secure environment.
