If Lion uses your personal information for direct marketing purposes, all electronic messages sent to you by Lion will give you the opportunity to unsubscribe from receiving any further electronic messages.

If Lion uses your personal information for direct marketing purposes, all correspondence sent to you by Lion will give you the opportunity to “opt out” of receiving any further direct marketing correspondence. If we use your personal information to send you any direct marketing communications, you have the right to request that we provide you with the source of that personal information. There is no fee for requesting this information.  Unless it is impracticable or unreasonable to do so, we will provide you with the source of the personal information.

Lion’s related companies (including those located in Australia and New Zealand); and Lion’s consultants, contractors and service providers performing services including (but not limited to) legal and accounting services, advertising and promotions agencies, prize providers, credit reporting, mail-house, transport and printing services.

Other than those third parties referred to above, Lion will not disclose your personal information to any other third party unless it has reasonable grounds to believe:

you have authorised Lion to do so; your safety, or the safety of others in the community, is at risk; or Lion is required or permitted by law to do so.

If Lion provides your personal information to a third party, which may operate or hold data in New Zealand or in overseas countries which may include (but are not limited to) Australia, the United States of America and Japan, Lion generally requires the third party to protect your personal information in the same way Lion does.
