Your privacy is a matter of the highest priority at Unaustralian. Let’s be honest about it: our door is just a wee bit more likely to get kicked in by an ASIO jackboot than that of a more conventional business place. Unless Kevin Andrews becomes Prime Minister, in which case we’re all in the shit. We’ll all be living with the constant threat of being dragged away in the night to a dark, damp location and quizzed by a skinny bald guy with a power drill until he can satisfy the minister that our knowledge of Ecclesiastes 3:13 is up to scratch. So yes, at Unaustralian we genuinely recognise the importance of maintaining your privacy, and we appreciate your trust in us.

Please be aware that, because of the limitations of the systems used by some financial institutions, the statement you receive from your credit card or financial institution may show the name of a third party payment processor, instead of, or in addition to Unaustralian. Further, we may share the information we collect with other companies with whom we have joint marketing arrangements.
We may also disclose information we collect about you in other circumstances as required or permitted by law.

In addition, it is possible that in the future another company may acquire Unaustralian or its assets. It is also possible that Unaustralian may partner with or purchase another company to continue to do business as a combined entity. In the event that this occurs, it is possible that our customer information may be transferred to the new business entity as the property of Unaustralian.
