What is personal information?
“Personal information” means any information or opinion, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. In general terms, this includes information or an opinion that personally identifies you either directly (e.g. your name) or indirectly.
What personal information do we collect?
We only collect personal information that is necessary for us to carry on our business functions. The personal information we collect about you depends on the nature of your dealings with us or what you choose to share with us. If you do not give us any of the personal information which we ask you for, it may affect our ability to meet our obligations to you or our clients.
How do we collect your personal information?
We collect your personal information directly from you when you interact with us over the phone, in person or online.
We may also collect your personal information from third parties or through publicly available sources, for example, when conducting property searches with the Government register or local councils. We collect your personal information from these third parties so that we can carry on our business functions and provide you with a complete service.
How do we use your personal information?
We use personal information for many purposes in connection with our functions and activities, including the following purposes:
· provide you with information or services that you request from us;
· deliver to you a more personalised experience and service offering;
· improve the quality of the services we offer;
· internal administrative purposes.
Disclosure of personal information to third parties
We may disclose your personal information to third parties in accordance with this Policy in circumstances where you would reasonably expect us to disclose your information. We may disclose personal information for the purposes for which it was collected, and also subject to our professional obligations, to any person where necessary or desirable in connection with our provision of legal services, as required by law subject to our professional obligations, as permitted under the National Privacy Principles or with your consent. Any other use or disclosure we make of your personal information will only be as required by law or permitted by the Privacy Act.
