Where Amazon or another marketplace provides an authorised-user, partner or service-provider access mechanism, clients should use that mechanism rather than providing account passwords directly.

6. Client Confidentiality
Information provided to AMS Lane by clients in connection with marketplace management and consulting services is treated as confidential business information.
AMS Lane will only access client marketplace accounts and information where reasonably required to provide authorised services.
Client information will not be knowingly disclosed to another client or used for another client’s benefit except where information has been lawfully aggregated or de-identified, or disclosure has otherwise been authorised or is required by law.

AMS Lane may use third-party platforms and service providers to operate our business and deliver our services.
These may include providers used for:
- Amazon marketplace services;
- website hosting;
- business email and productivity;
- appointment scheduling;
- communications and video conferencing;
- analytics;
- cloud-based document and file storage;
- accounting and business administration;

These providers may process information on our behalf or as independent service providers according to their respective terms, privacy policies and data-processing arrangements.
8. International Clients and Data Processing
AMS Lane may provide services to businesses located outside Australia and may assist clients operating across multiple Amazon marketplaces internationally.
As a result, information may be accessed, transferred, processed or stored in countries other than the country in which the client or website visitor is located.
This may occur through Amazon’s systems or through cloud, communication, scheduling, website and other technology providers used by AMS Lane.
Where applicable, AMS Lane will handle information in accordance with relevant contractual obligations, marketplace requirements and applicable privacy and data-protection requirements.
Third-party platforms may process information in accordance with their own international data-processing arrangements and privacy policies.
9. Data Security
AMS Lane takes reasonable administrative, organisational and technical steps appropriate to the nature of our business and the information involved to protect information against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
Access to client information is intended to be limited to persons who reasonably require access to perform authorised services.
Where appropriate access-management functionality is available, AMS Lane aims to use authorised account permissions rather than requesting clients’ primary account credentials.
Information may be stored using reputable cloud-based business systems and technology providers.
However, no electronic transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure, and AMS Lane cannot guarantee absolute security.
10. Data Retention
AMS Lane retains personal, business and marketplace-related information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or accessed, including to:
- provide contracted services;
- maintain appropriate business and financial records;
- meet legal, contractual or marketplace obligations;
- resolve disputes;
- protect legitimate business interests;
When information is no longer reasonably required, AMS Lane will take appropriate steps regarding deletion, destruction or de-identification where applicable.

The AMS Lane website may use cookies and similar technologies to provide website functionality, understand website usage and improve visitor experience.
Third-party website or analytics providers may also use cookies or similar technologies according to their own privacy practices.
Where additional analytics, advertising or tracking technologies are introduced, this Privacy Policy may be updated accordingly.
12. Marketing Communications
Where permitted, AMS Lane may communicate with prospective or existing clients about services, marketplace information or business updates that may be relevant to them.
You may request that AMS Lane stop sending marketing communications at any time by contacting us or using an unsubscribe function where one is provided.
