We understand that privacy is important to you. We are committed to protecting your privacy.
This Privacy Policy relates to the collection and use of personal information you may provide to us through this website.
Personal information is any information that can identify you. This may include sensitive information such as your health, race, religion or political beliefs. We may ask for sensitive information where it is required by law or where the information is needed to enable us to provide you with the financial products or services you need. In either case, we may collect such information incidentally. By providing us with sensitive personal information, you consent to us using the information subject to applicable laws.
In this website, “we”, “our”, and “us” may refer to WAM Family Trust Pty Ltd as a group of companies or to a specific entity, as the case may be.
The following information provides an overview of how we will protect your privacy.
Collection of Data
We may collect and hold personal information about you, information you provide to us, including when you speak directly with our staff.
Please note that if we collect personal information electronically, we may do so by using “cookies”. This information is collected for security purposes and to protect the integrity of your account details.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. A cookie is a packet of information which is sent by our website to your computer to track your use of our website and to allow you to effectively access your account information. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
Use and disclosure of personal information
Your personal information is used only for the purpose for which it is collected, and that is for the purpose of providing you with products and/or services you have requested or for such other purposes:
- notify you about our other services and marketing activities from time-to-time; and
- manage our relationship with you.
We will not disclose your personal information unless the disclosure:
- is required by law;
- has your consent (express or implied);
- is to organisations with whom we have a business relationship that have strict confidentiality rules. You agree that not all recipients of your personal information may have privacy policies
- similar to ours and you consent to the disclosure of your personal information for those purposes.
If at any time you no longer wish to be notified about our products, services or promotions, please let us know.
Security
We strive to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information submitted to our site, and we review and update our security measures in light of current technologies. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed to be totally secure.
However, we will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information you may transmit to us.
In addition, our employees and the contractors who provide services related to our information systems are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us. However, we will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.
Access to your personal information
You can request us to provide you with access to personal information we hold about you. We may allow you to inspect your personal information in person, or provide you with copies or a summary of relevant documents, depending on what we consider most appropriate in the circumstances. Any charge we make for providing access will be reasonable.
Please note that we need not provide access to personal information if the request is frivolous, or where to provide access would pose a threat to health or public safety, unreasonable interference with another person’s privacy, or give rise to a breach of the law. If we refuse access, we will provide you with reasons for doing so.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Problems or questions
If you have any further queries relating to our Privacy Policy, or you have a problem or complaint, please contact us (for details, see ‘Contact Us’)
