(ii) personalise the marketing of our Services to you on third party sites, apps or social media services, where we may match an anonymised common account identifier (such as a hashed email address) with third party sources to send you personalised communications (or to exclude you from receiving a particular communication) on the third party site, app or social media service;
You can control whether you receive personalised communications (see section 9).
(f) Deliver relevant third party advertising on our Services – We may deliver personalised third party advertising on our Services. Personalised advertising (known as interest based advertising or addressable advertising) delivers you more relevant advertising based on your interests combined with other information (e.g. demographic and location information).

We may also supplement this information with information collected from other trusted businesses with whom you have a relationship or from public sources. If you are using a browser, information collected through cookies or similar tracking technologies and software may be used to determine your likely interests and to deliver relevant advertising. If you are using a device that includes a resettable advertising ID, it may be used to determine your likely interests and to deliver relevant advertising. We may also use data connectivity platforms or other technologies to match an anonymised common account identifier such as a hashed email address with data from third party sources (e.g. third party advertisers) to deliver more relevant advertisements to you. We, our partners, third party advertisers, ad networks and technology providers also use the information for reporting and attribution, data analytics and market research. We may also share information with third parties to perform ad measurement services on our behalf.

We may share your information with these third parties so that they can do the same thing. Unless you have otherwise consented, where the information is provided to others for their own marketing purposes, it will not contain any information that personally identifies you;
(h) Comply with contractual and legal obligations
(i) fulfil our contractual obligations, including by entering contracts with you or third parties;
(ii) Other – We, or service providers acting on our behalf, may also use your information for any other purpose as notified to you at the time of collection, or where you have provided your consent, if permitted under the Privacy Act, APPs or applicable laws, or for any other purpose outlined in this Privacy Policy.
