What we do with the information we gather
We require this information to understand your needs and provide you with the requested service, and in particular for the following reasons:

The information varies and is controlled by that service provider or as authorised by you via your privacy settings at that service provider; and
- Other third party sources and/or partners from Australia, US or UK, whereby we receive additional information about you (to the extent permitted by applicable law), such as demographic data or fraud detection information, and combine it with information we have about you. For example, fraud warnings from service providers like identity verification service.
