Information We Collect and How It is Used

To process your financial services referral request, Health Insurance Online may collect your name, phone number, email address, postcode, and other details relevant to the type of service you are requesting.

This information is used to match you with a suitable financial services provider or lender.

If you do not provide the personal information we request, we may not be able to assist you with your referral or process your inquiry.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose your personal information to third-party providers, brokers, lenders, or service partners, some of whom may be located outside Australia. Where this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that these recipients handle your information in accordance with the APPs and maintain confidentiality and data security.

We require all third-party partners to comply with strict privacy and confidentiality obligations and to use your personal information only for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or providing the services you have requested.

Please note: Once you are referred to a third-party provider, their own privacy policy and terms will apply to any information you provide directly to them.
