Your privacy matters
This privacy notice explains how Australian Corporate Advisory Pty Ltd ( (“Us”, “We”, “Our”) collects and uses personal data and describes the rights you have concerning your personal data.
We process personal data (including sensitive information) for various purposes. We usually collect this data from you or other authorised sources, for example, if you engage Us to submit data to Us, or if you visit our website, if you submit your contact details to receive marketing communications from us, or submit a form, or submit an email via our website. We also collect data through other websites you may engage us through, including social media sites like LinkedIn and Facebook. Alternatively, we collect and process your personal data in the context of providing professional services to your employer or service provider; for example, we are engaged in providing professional advisory services that require the disclosure of your personal data. Our privacy notice here is intended to cover all the scenarios mentioned above.
If you have any questions regarding processing or handling your personal data or wish to contact our data privacy officer, please contact us using the contact forms and details provided on this website.
What data is covered, and how is it collected?
We always try to collect only the information we need for the particular function or activity we are carrying out. The primary way we collect information is when you provide it to Us. We may also collect personal data if you participate in a meeting with Us.
At times, it is necessary to collect “Personal Data” as defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth.), which may include information or an opinion about you or another individual that is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion is true or not and whether the information is recorded in a material form or not.
It may be necessary to collect Sensitive Personal Information to fulfil our legal obligations to you or a third party, including where it is required by law, for employment, or to fulfil any obligation we may have to an Australian Commonwealth agency. Sensitive Personal Information means personal information about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual orientation or practices, criminal record, health information, genetic information, biometric information, or biometric temples.
We may also collect visa and work approval status, education qualifications, your tax file number or other government-issued identification information, banking details, payment details and personal information about your spouse, dependent or preferred emergency contact but only with your consent.
You have the right to interact with Us anonymously. Still, we may not be able to fulfil any duty we may have to you or provide services to you where it is necessary for Us to identify you using Personal Data (including Sensitive Data).
Our websites include cookies necessary to function or provide services to you. If you elect not to accept a website cookie, we may be unable to provide you services, including access to Our website, and we disclaim any liability for your inability to access Our services. We also collect IP addresses and geographic data and reserve all rights to collect any other form of data that may be made available to us via your use of this website.
