\n\n5. Disclosure of Your Information
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information.
We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary to operate AuctionBargain and fulfil customer orders, including to:

6. Overseas Disclosure
AuctionBargain's primary website and customer information systems are hosted in Australia.
However, some products sold through AuctionBargain are supplied or fulfilled by international partners. Where an order is dispatched directly from an overseas supplier or fulfilment partner, we may need to provide information such as the customer's name, delivery address, contact telephone number and relevant order details to that partner so the order can be fulfilled.
Some technology or other service providers used by AuctionBargain may also process information outside Australia.
Where personal information is disclosed to an overseas recipient, Confidia Pty Ltd will take reasonable steps, as required by the Australian Privacy Principles, to ensure that the information is handled appropriately and consistently with applicable Australian privacy requirements, subject to any exceptions permitted by law.
We do not provide overseas suppliers or fulfilment partners with information that is not reasonably required to process or deliver the relevant order.
