All data processed by the business is done on a lawful basis. The purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information are:
- to offer our products and services to our clients.

Data breaches
All staff are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of client information and business information. Refer any data breaches, or suspected data breaches, to the customer services team as soon as possible.
What is an eligible data breach?
An eligible data breach, defined in s 26WE(2) of the Act, is when:
- both of the following conditions are satisfied:
- there is unauthorised access to, or unauthorised disclosure of, the information;
- a reasonable person would conclude that the access or disclosure would be likely to result in serious harm to any of the individuals to whom the information relates; or
- the information is lost in circumstances where:
- unauthorised access to, or unauthorised disclosure of, the information is likely to occur; and
- assuming that unauthorised access to, or unauthorised disclosure of, the information were to occur, a reasonable person would conclude that the access or disclosure would be likely to result in serious harm to any of the individuals to whom the information relates;…
If there is a suspicion of a breach
If we suspect that there has been an eligible data breach, and if we are lawfully required to do so in the circumstances, a reasonable and expeditious assessment may be conducted within 30 days.
If we believe or have reasonable grounds to believe there has been a breach then, in the event that we deem it appropriate in the circumstances having regard to our business and operational requirements at the time, we may prepare a statement will be prepared setting out:
- the business’s details;
- a description of the breach;
- the kind or kinds of information concerned; and
- recommendations about the steps that we will take in response to it.
If practicable and we determine it necessary, we may advise the contents of the statement to each of the affected clients who may be at risk from the breach. If this is not practicable we may publish the statement on our website and take other reasonable steps to publicise its contents. Communications with individuals may be via their preferred communication method.
The statement may, if appropriate in our sole discretion, be submitted to the Privacy Commissioner.
Exception to reporting
Any legal notification requirement is expressly waived if remedial action can be taken that results in a reasonable person concluding that the access or disclosure is not likely to result in serious harm to any of those individuals. Whether this action can be taken is in our sole discretion, and we make no promise to report a breach unless we are legally required to.
