This Privacy Policy explains how we manage personal information, including how we collect, use, disclose, and store your personal information.

​

1. Scope

• Website usage information: such as IP addresses, cookies, and other information automatically collected when you use our website or other digital services (see Section 7 for more details).

• We will only collect sensitive information (as defined in the Privacy Act) if we have your express consent or are otherwise permitted by law to do so.

​

3. How we collect personal information

We will generally collect personal information directly from you. This may occur when you:

• Use or access our website, social media channels, or other digital platforms.

 

In some cases, we may also collect personal information from third parties, including publicly available sources, government bodies, or other organisations that refer you to us, but only where it is not reasonable or practicable to collect the information directly from you, or with your consent.

​

4. Purposes for collecting, holding, and using personal information

We collect, hold, and use your personal information for the primary purposes of:

• Providing and improving our consulting and advisory services;

• Communicating with you in relation to any enquiries, services, or matters relevant to you;

• Conducting business operations, including billing and account management;

• Undertaking risk management, business analytics, and compliance activities;

• Assisting with the recruitment process if you apply for a position with us;

• Sending you information about our services, events, and news that may be of interest to you, where you have consented to receive such communications; and

• Complying with any legal or regulatory requirements.

 

If we do not collect your personal information, we may be unable to provide you with our services or otherwise fulfil the purposes outlined above.

 

5. Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose personal information to third parties in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: We may share personal information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating our business (e.g., IT support, data storage providers, administrative services).

• Professional Advisers: We may disclose personal information to our accountants, auditors, lawyers, insurers, or other professional advisers in the course of obtaining advice or to meet our legal obligations.

• Government, Regulatory Bodies, or Law Enforcement: We may disclose information when required or authorised by law, or where reasonably necessary to assist in law enforcement activities or regulatory investigations.

• Business Transfers: In the event of a change of ownership, acquisition, merger, or reorganisation, personal information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

 

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

​

6. Overseas disclosures

We may store or process personal information on servers located outside of Australia or via cloud-based services. In some circumstances, these foreign jurisdictions may not have the same level of privacy protections as under Australian law. If we transfer your personal information overseas, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that it is protected and handled in accordance with the standards that apply in Australia, including by using contractual or other arrangements.

​
