3. Use and Disclosure of Personal Information
We use and disclose your personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected, such as providing our services, communicating with you, and managing our relationship with you. We may also use your personal information for a secondary purpose that is related to the primary purpose and reasonably expected by you, or as required or permitted by law.
We may disclose your personal information to our affiliates, service providers, and professional advisers, such as lawyers and accountants, as necessary to carry out our business activities or to comply with legal obligations.
We will not use or disclose your personal information for direct marketing purposes without your consent, and you have the right to opt-out of receiving marketing communications at any time.
4. Business Communications and Opportunities
As a corporate finance and management consulting firm, we regularly identify industry-specific opportunities that may align with your business interests. We may reach out proactively to acquaint you with such prospects, including but not limited to the services we provide, our clients, and businesses we're building or advising. Your engagement with us implies your consent for us to use your contact information for these business communications. If you wish to opt-out or have us cease further outreach, please advise us promptly by replying to the email you received, and we will respect your preferences.
5. Cross-border Disclosure
We may disclose your personal information to recipients located outside Australia, such as service providers or other parties as necessary for our business operations. When transferring your personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipients comply with the Australian Privacy Principles or are subject to similar privacy laws, such as by entering into contractual arrangements or ensuring the recipient is located in a country with adequate data protection laws.
6. Data Quality, Security, and Retention
We take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we collect, hold, use, and disclose is accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant. We implement appropriate security measures to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. We retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law, after which we take reasonable steps to securely destroy or permanently de-identify it.
7. Data Breaches
In the event of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to individuals whose personal information is involved, we will promptly notify the affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We will also investigate the breach, take steps to mitigate any harm, and implement measures to prevent future breaches.
