6. Disclosure of Personal Information
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.
We may disclose your personal information to:
- Our team members who need access to deliver services to you
- Trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business, including cloud hosting providers (e.g., Microsoft Azure, Vercel, Supabase), project management tools, CRM platforms, and communication tools — all subject to appropriate confidentiality and data protection obligations

- Regulatory authorities or law enforcement agencies if required by law or if we have a good-faith belief that disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, protect our rights, or prevent harm
- A successor entity in the event of a business sale, merger, or restructure, subject to that entity agreeing to handle your personal information consistently with this Privacy Policy
Where we engage third-party service providers to process personal information on our behalf, we take reasonable steps to ensure they are bound by appropriate privacy obligations.
7. Overseas Disclosure
Some of the third-party services we use to deliver our work may store or process data on servers located outside Australia, including in the United States and other jurisdictions. These include cloud infrastructure providers and AI platform providers.
Where we disclose personal information to overseas recipients, we take reasonable steps to ensure they are bound by enforceable privacy protections comparable to the Australian Privacy Principles. By engaging with our services, you consent to your personal information being transferred to and processed in these overseas jurisdictions where applicable.
8. Data Storage and Security
We take data security seriously. ThinkSwift is currently pursuing ISO 27001 certification and maintains a number of technical and organisational measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. These measures include:
- Access controls and role-based permissions
- Encrypted data storage and transmission
- Secure cloud infrastructure with reputable, enterprise-grade providers
- Regular security reviews and vulnerability assessments
- Staff awareness of privacy and data handling obligations
No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
