What information do we collect?
In order to provide you with services, we may collect personal information about you from our website, telephone conversations, e-mails and written and verbal communications. We may, for example, keep a record of your name, address, delivery address, e-mail address, telephone number and banking details. We may also record details of any disability or health needs you may have.
We may supplement the information that you provide with other information that we obtain from our dealings with you or which we receive from other organisations, for example, our suppliers.
How will we use your information?
All personal information that we obtain about you will be recorded, used and protected by us in accordance with current data protection legislation and this privacy policy. We will primarily use your personal information to provide our products and services to you and, for example:
-
to communicate with you
-
for record keeping purposes

to improve the quality of our service
-
for market research
-
to track activity on our website
- We co-operate with law enforcement agencies as required by law.
Disclosure of your information
In order to provide our services to you, we may need to appoint other organisations to carry out some of the processing activities on our behalf. These will include, for example, delivery organisations, third party suppliers and agents. These third parties may have access to information needed to perform their function but cannot use that information for other purposes.
Use of your information outside Australia
Some of the organisations (for example, other law firms) to which we may disclose your personal information are situated outside of Australia. In order to meet your requirements , we may need to transfer your personal information to these countries some of which do not have laws that protect privacy rights as extensively as in Australia.

Monitoring
We may monitor or record telephone calls for security purposes and to improve the quality of services that we provide to you.
Changes to this privacy policy
We aim to meet high standards and our policies and procedures are, therefore, constantly under review. From time to time we may change our security and privacy policies. Accordingly we recommend that you check this page periodically in order to review our current policies.
