5. DISCLOSURE OUTSIDE AUSTRALIA
We may transfer and store your personal information outside of Australia. We only do so as permitted by the APPs and as described in this Privacy Policy. We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information where overseas disclosure is required.

6. HOW TO ACCESS AND CORRECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
You can access and correct the personal information by logging into your account via www.beyondbybea.com using your account email address and password you created.

Correction
If you request us to correct personal information we hold about you, we will take reasonable steps to make the correction so that, taking into account the purpose for which we hold the personal information, the information is accurate, up-to-date, complete, relevant and not misleading.
If we make a correction to personal information about you; and before making the correction we had disclosed the information to another entity that is covered by the APPs; and you request us to notify the other entity of the correction, we will take reasonable steps to give that notification, unless it is impracticable or unlawful for us to do it.

Refusals
If we refuse to:
- allow you access to the personal information we hold about you; or
- give access in the manner you request; or
- correct personal information about you as you request, we will write to you explaining at least:
- the reasons for our refusal (unless it would be unreasonable for us to give them); and
- how you can complain about the refusal.
If we refuse to correct personal information as requested by you, you may request us to associate with the information a statement that it is inaccurate, out-of-date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. We will then take reasonable steps to associate the statement with the information in a way that makes the statement apparent to users of the information.

7. HOW TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR TREATMENT OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You can complain about a breach by us of the APPs or a registered privacy code, by emailing hello@beyondbybea.com
Initially your complaint will be handled by our Customer Service Team, in accordance with established protocols for the particular type of complaint. If no handling protocol exists for your complaint, it will be referred to the relevant general manager for follow-up.

8. SECURITY
We will take reasonable steps to protect the personal information:
- misuse, interference and loss; and
- unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
We make every effort to follow industry standard security measures for personal information under our control. All financial information is encrypted during transmission, and we self-certify against industry security standards for payment processing. Only authorised staff and consultants have access (on a restricted basis) to the personal information we collect. We regularly review developments in security and encryption technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, although we endeavour to protect information you transmit to us, we cannot ensure or warrant the security of that information, and you transmit it at your own risk. You may be able to configure your browser to advise you whether the information you are sending us will be secure (encrypted) or not secure (unencrypted). Once we receive your transmission, we take reasonable steps to protect the information on our own systems. For more information you might like to refer to the OAIC Guide to Information Security, at:http://www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/privacy-resources/privacy-guides/guide-to-information-security

9. WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T PROVIDE THE PERSONAL INFORMATION WE REQUEST
If you do not provide personal information as requested by us we may not be able to respond to an enquiry or provide some or all of our online services.

10. DESTRUCTION AND DE-IDENTIFICATION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify personal information if:
