Improving our experience
Improvements in technology enable many organisations to collect and use information to build a more integrated view of customers, which enables ATB MORTON Pty Ltd to provide better products and services. Personal information may be compiled with other data available from a wide variety of outside sources (e.g. Australian Bureau of Statistics data), that can be analysed to gain useful insights which can be used for any of the purposes mentioned in this section. In addition, we may provide data insights or related reports to others, for example to help them understand our products and/or services better. These are based on aggregated information and do not contain any information that identifies you. An exception applies if you consent to ATB MORTON Pty Ltd using your information (E.g. Testimonials).
