Confidential information

Unless otherwise agreed, we use this information solely for evaluating opportunities, providing services and supporting our commercial activities. Submission of information does not create any obligation for Catapult45 to invest or provide services.

You can manage cookie settings through your web browser.

International data storage

Some technology providers we use may store or process information outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is protected in accordance with Australian privacy laws.

Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal and confidential information from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure. While no electronic system can be completely secure, we continually review our security practices. If an eligible data breach occurs, we will comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme under the Privacy Act.
