If you suspect any misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, your information, please let us know immediately.

Storing your information
The CARE Plus App may be maintained in a country that is not Australia (on a temporary or permanent basis).
By accessing the CARE Plus App, you agree to and authorise us giving your Personal Information, in accordance with this policy, to a third party who is not in Australia or a third party who may transfer and store outside Australia your Personal Information (Overseas Recipient).
