5. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information with:

• Service providers — trusted third-party vendors who assist in operating our website (e.g., analytics providers, email delivery services), bound by confidentiality obligations.
• Legal authorities — if required by law, court order, or governmental authority in Australia.

Any third-party service providers we engage are required to handle your data in accordance with applicable Australian privacy laws.
