2. Why do we collect, use and disclose personal information?
We may collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

Generally, we will only use or disclose personal information for the purpose for which it was collected (the primary purpose), including the purposes set out above.

We may use or disclose personal information for secondary purposes if we receive consent or if the APPs otherwise permit us to do so.

We may disclose your personal information to a trusted third party who also holds other information about you.  This third party may combine that information in order to enable it and us to develop anonymised consumer insights so that we can better understand your preferences and interests, personalise your experience and enhance the goods and/or services that you receive.

We may send you direct marketing communications and information about our goods and/or services.  This may take the form of emails, SMS, mail or other forms of communication, in accordance with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and the Privacy Act.

We may use or disclose personal information (other than sensitive information) for direct marketing if:
