We are covered by the Federal Privacy Act 1988, which set out standards for the collection, use, disclosure and handling of personal information. Our Privacy Policy applies to any personal information we collect, use or disclose.
How and why we collect personal information
We collect personal information to be able to provide services to our clients and prospects.
We also use it to help to develop and identify products and services that may benefit our clients and prospects.
How we use and disclose personal information
We do not use or disclose personal information for any purpose that is unrelated to our services and that you would not reasonably expect (except with your consent).
Our duty of confidentiality applies except where disclosure of your personal information is with your consent or compelled by law.
We usually disclose personal information to third parties who only assist us or are involved in the provision of our services.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete, and up-to-date whenever we collect, use or disclose it. If the required personal information is not provided, we, or any involved third parties may not be able to provide appropriate services.
What we expect of you and third parties we deal with
If we give you personal information, you and your representatives must only use it for the purposes we agree to.
Where relevant, you must meet the requirements of the National Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988, when collecting, using, disclosing and handling personal information on our behalf.
You must also ensure that your agents, employees and contractors meet the above requirements.
Security of your personal information
We endeavour to protect any personal information that we hold from misuse and loss, and to protect it from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.
We maintain computer and network security; for example, we use firewalls and other security systems to control access to computer systems.
Transfer of information overseas
We may transfer your personal information overseas where it is necessary to provide our service. For example, we sometimes use the internet to collect and process information. In most cases, we only do this with your consent.
