HOW WE PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY?
We are committed to protecting your privacy. We use the information you provide us to advise you on your financial circumstances, goals and strategies. We or our Advisers may provide your information to the product issuers with whom you choose to deal (and their representatives) and our related entities. When your Adviser recommend a financial product or service, they will provide the product providers PDS or disclosure document to you which will outline their privacy policy. We do not, nor do our Advisers, trade, rent or sell your information. If you don’t provide us with full information, we can’t properly advise or assist you with your financial service’s needs. If you request us to provide you with services or monitor your accounts via the internet while you are in the European Union (EU) you will need to provide us with written consent to do so, as you may have different rights while in the EU. If your Adviser leaves us and starts providing financial services under another AFS License, your information may be transferred to the new licensee. You will be advised of any such transfer prior to it taking place and you will be given the opportunity to remain with one of our or our AFS Licensees Advisers if you prefer to do so. We, our Advisers or our AFS Licensee may disclose your information to recipients in the United States of America for the purposed of required transaction notifications (E.g. Form W-8 BEN). We, our Advisers or our AFS Licensee may also store your information in the internet ‘cloud’ and external data storage providers or other companies to backup and ad-hoc store our electronic data. Therefore, your information may be disclosed to recipients in overseas countries. We, our Advisers or our AFS Licensee, will not be accountable for any recipient’s breach of Australian privacy laws and you will not be able to seek redress under those laws. For more information about how we comply with the requirements of the Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles, to access the information we held about you, how to have it corrected and how to complain if you think we or our Advisers have breached the privacy law, ask for a copy of our Privacy Policy by contacting us, via the contact details listed herein.
