If you log on to secure areas, we can combine your identifying information (unique identifiers) with details of your visit and your other information (including personal information). This may tell us what you are interested in.

A cookie is a small text file saved on your device when you visit a website. Your browser saves the cookie and retrieves it the next time you visit that website.

Cookies and identifying information are an important way we interact with your internet browser. We can use them to:

• Give you better and more customised service

We may allow third-party companies to use cookies and other technology, and collect information when you visit open areas of our Digital Platforms (for example, areas of the ANZ website where you don’t have to log on). For example, they may collect information on:

Our Digital Platforms may link to third-party websites. Clicking these links may mean you give information to us or to third parties, perhaps through cookies or in other ways.

We may have access to that information if you visit other websites through our website, and if we have an arrangement to access this information. The websites may collect information about you through your preferences, cookies, or other information you give.

Please review the privacy policies of third-party sites before you use the sites. They should have their own privacy statements and be responsible for their own privacy practices.

We are not responsible for content on third-party websites. If we link to them, we do it only for your convenience. It does not mean we support the products those websites offer.

See our Cookies and Analytics Notice for more details.

We take reasonable steps to secure cookie and personal information, in accordance with this Privacy Statement and the ANZ Website Terms of Use. We use modern encryption standards to secure your information.

We regularly review developments in security and encryption technology and take reasonable steps to protect your information once our systems receive it.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that information you send us, or get from our online products or services, is secure. You send or receive information at your own risk.

For security reasons or investigations, including to identify, prevent and investigate any actual or suspected fraud, we use IP addresses and other information. That information could be about your device and behavioural biometric information in goMoney and Internet Banking. 

We store your IP address for security purposes, to improve the website, and for auditing and reporting. When we are investigating security issues, fraud or inappropriate behaviour, we may have to use your IP address and other information collected via our Digital Platforms. We may give your IP address and other information to third parties in accordance with this Privacy Statement. For example, if there is actual or suspected unauthorised access to ANZ goMoney or ANZ Internet Banking, your device or ours, or if there are fraudulent transactions.
