mertons corporate services privacy policy
We are committed to respecting the privacy of your personal information. This summary outlines the manner in which we collect, store and use personal information.
Where we refer to “personal information”, this means information which identifies an individual or from which an individual’s identity can be reasonably ascertained. In some circumstances, including where it is necessary for the provision of services, we may need to collect sensitive information. Sensitive information is defined in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
For the purpose of providing our services, we may collect some personal information. The personal information we collect is limited in most cases to names, professional and contact details and information relating to the services we provide you.
In addition to providing our consulting services to you, we may use and disclose your information to maintain our relationship with you, to keep you informed of our services, events, developments in Corporate Governance and other matters which we consider may be of interest to you, and for purposes related to our research, planning, service development, security and risk management. We may also use and disclose your information to the extent that we are required or authorised by law to do so.
We will not disclose any confidential information which we obtain as a result of providing services to anyone else unless compelled by law or to the extent permitted by these terms. Possession of confidential information or knowledge will not prevent us from providing services to another person or organisation if the consultant personally involved in acting for the other person or organisation does not have actual knowledge of the confidential information.
We will not disclose to you any confidential information or knowledge which we obtain as a result of providing services to any other client.
If you have any queries about our privacy policy, or you require further information on how we handle personal information, please contact us.
