All handling of personal data is carried out in compliance with applicable Australian legislation, including the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
The operator acts as the “APP entity” responsible for managing personal information provided by users of the website and related services.

- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and access logs
- Verification information: identity documents and proof of address
- Additional user-provided data: any other information voluntarily submitted while using our services
Personal information is primarily collected directly from users during registration, account setup, customer support interactions, and general use of the platform. In some cases, data may also be obtained from trusted third parties such as identity verification providers or payment processors, where legally permitted.

Depending on the context, processing is based on:
- User consent, where required
