We keep records for as long as the law requires (generally at least five years under tax law), after which we take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify information we no longer need. In the unlikely event of a data breach likely to cause serious harm, we would notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
