and technical maintenance). We may also use such information
for a purpose related to the primary purpose of collection and
where it would reasonably be expected by you that we would use
the information in such a way. This information is only disclosed
to persons outside our business in the circumstances set out
in this policy or as otherwise notified to you at the time of

or in reporting the matter to the relevant authorities;
|
| • |
Where such use or disclosure is required
under or authorised by law (for example, to comply with
a subpoena, a warrant or other order of a court or legal
process); |
| • |
Where we reasonably believe that the use
or disclosure is reasonably necessary for prevention,
investigation, prosecution and punishment of crimes or
wrongdoings or the preparation for, conduct of, proceedings
before any court or tribunal or the implementation of
the orders of a court or tribunal by or on behalf of an
enforcement body. |
