4 Information Sharing and Disclosure

We understand that your financial information is highly sensitive. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing purposes. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

Professional Service Providers

We may share information with trusted professional service providers who assist us in delivering our services, including accountants, legal advisors, and IT support specialists. These providers are bound by strict confidentiality agreements and are only permitted to use your information for the specific services they provide to us.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information when required by law, including compliance with court orders, subpoenas, tax reporting obligations, or regulatory investigations. We will notify you of such disclosures unless prohibited by law.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our business assets, your information may be transferred to the new owner, subject to the same privacy protections outlined in this policy.

All third parties with whom we share your information are required to maintain appropriate security measures and use your information only for the specified purposes.

5 Data Security and Protection

We implement comprehensive security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. Our security practices include:

  • SSL encryption for all data transmitted through our website and email systems
  • Secure, password-protected databases with regular backup procedures
  • Physical security measures for our office premises and document storage

We regularly review and update our security measures to address emerging threats and maintain the highest standards of data protection. However, please note that no security system is completely foolproof, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of your information.

Data Breach Response: In the unlikely event of a data breach that may pose a serious risk to your privacy, we will notify you and relevant authorities within 72 hours as required by Australian privacy laws.

6 Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian privacy laws, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. We are committed to helping you exercise these rights effectively:

Access and Correction Rights

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if the information is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. We will respond to access requests within 30 days and provide information in a clear, accessible format.

Deletion and Restriction Rights

You may request deletion of your personal information where it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, subject to our legal obligations to retain certain records. You can also request restriction of processing in specific circumstances.

Withdrawal of Consent

Where we process your information based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. This will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the details provided at the end of this policy. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request to protect your personal information from unauthorized access.

7 Data Retention and Deletion

We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, comply with legal obligations, and protect our legitimate business interests. Our retention periods vary depending on the type of information and applicable legal requirements:

  • Financial analysis records: 7 years from completion of services (as required by Australian taxation laws)
  • Client communication records: 7 years from last interaction
  • Website usage data and cookies: 2 years from collection
  • Marketing communications data: Until you unsubscribe or request deletion
  • Identity verification documents: 5 years as required for compliance purposes

After the retention period expires, we securely delete or anonymize your personal information using industry-standard methods. Physical documents are shredded and disposed of securely, while electronic data is permanently deleted using secure deletion protocols.

Early Deletion: You may request earlier deletion of your information if it's no longer needed for the original purpose and we have no legal obligation to retain it.

8 International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process your personal information within Australia using Australian-based service providers. However, some of our technology services may involve limited international data transfers to countries with adequate privacy protections.

When international transfers are necessary, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, including:

  • Transfers only to countries with adequate privacy protection as recognized by Australian law
  • Contractual agreements with overseas providers requiring equivalent privacy protections
  • Regular monitoring of overseas providers' privacy and security practices
  • Encryption of all data during transfer and storage

We will notify you if your information will be transferred overseas and provide details about the destination country and privacy protections in place.
