We will notify you of significant changes to this policy by placing a notice on the SITE. In order for LBB to provide the SITE it must collect information from you.

If you disable cookies, the SITE may not function properly.

2. How we use collected information

LBB uses the information you provide in order to identify you, communicate with you, and provide personalised services. You may choose to remain anonymous to LBB by withholding identifying information or refusing offers to join our mailing list.

3. Our use of collected information may include:

  • sharing aggregate information with third parties which does not personally identify you;
  • contacting you, including with promotional materials and notifications in accordance with the Spam Act 2003;
  • billing and account management;
  • research and development in improving our services and in developing new products and services; and
  • monitoring and maintaining our computers and network.

If you request LBB not to use personal information in a particular manner or at all, LBB will adopt all reasonable measures to observe your request but it may still use or disclose that information if LBB:

  • subsequently notifies you of the intended use or disclosure and you do not object to that use or disclosure;
  • believes that observing the request will legitimately inhibit LBB’s ability to provide the SITE;
  • believes that the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary to assist a law enforcement agency or an agency responsible for government or public security in the performance of their functions; or

If LBB proposes to use your information for any other purposes then you will be provided with a means to opt out of the use of your information for those purposes.

  • you have provided your express consent;
  • it is made in connection with the provision of the SITE pursuant to the Terms and Conditions of Use;
  • LBB is responding to a court order, legal process or enforceable government request;
  • LBB believes it is necessary to share information in order to investigate or take action in response to illegal activities; fraud or technical or security issues; threats against the rights, property or safety of LBB, its employees, users or the public; or
  • s otherwise required by law.
