When this Privacy Policy refers to “personal information” it means personal information to the extent it is collected, held, used and disclosed for the purpose of any compliance required of us under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing 2006 Act (the AML/CTF Act). It does not mean or apply to personal information collected, held, used or disclosed by us for other purposes.
The kinds of personal information we might generally collect, hold , use and disclose for AML/CTF Act purposes are:
- names, date of birth, residential and business addresses
- identification details for example passport, driver’s licence, or proof of age card numbers (including issue and expiry dates).
- occupation or nature of business
- beneficial ownership interests
- officeholder positions
- reasons for the provision of our legal services
- our AML/CTF Act risk assessment notes and monitoring notes
Collection
We collect personal information to the extent required by our AML/CTF Act obligations relevant to the legal services we provide. We collect personal information mainly through communications we have with our clients and others involved in transactions with our clients. We sometimes collect information from other sources, for example data brokers consulted for our AML/CTF Act compliance, the Internet or third parties who make recommendations connected with our services.
Disclosures
We generally only disclose personal information to the extent necessary to provide clients with legal services requested by them. We may disclose personal information where permitted to do so with consent or under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). For example we may disclose personal information for the purpose of compliance with the AML/CTF Act. We are not likely to disclose personal information to overseas recipients except where that is reasonably required for the purpose of giving effect to client instructions on a matter on which we have been engaged.

It is our policy to take all such complaints seriously and to aim to have them resolved within one month.

It is also subject to any exceptions that apply under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and to anything to the contrary we may agree in our engagement terms with our clients.
