Privacy Policy and Client Statement

This policy applies to information collected by Euroz Hartleys Limited (ABN 33 104 195 057) and its related bodies corporate (“Euroz Hartleys” or “we” or “us”). It outlines how we collect and use personal information that we hold about you in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act).

Why do we collect personal information and what personal information is collected?

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for us to provide our products and services. If you do not provide the information that we ask for, we may not be able to provide the products or services you have requested. We may collect information such as your name, address, phone number, email address, tax file number, bank account details, other information that may be required for identification purposes, information about your investments and transactions and other information related to the services we provide.

Sensitive information

We may also need to collect sensitive information if we organise insurance cover for you. Sensitive information includes health information, racial information, genetic information, etc. We will only collect sensitive information that is reasonably necessary for us to perform our functions or activities in advising you and dealing for you.

How personal information is collected?

We will generally collect your personal information in the course of you applying to open an account with Euroz Hartleys. By using Euroz Hartleys services you consent to Euroz Hartleys collecting your information from you or from a person who is acting as your agent. We may also collect information directly from you or your agent, such as when you or your agent provides information by phone, email, in an application form, or when you visit our website. Our website may use programs to record traffic to our website. This allows us to see what information is of most interest to visitors to our website, which in turn enables us to improve our offerings to our customers. Your computer’s web browser will allow you to configure your computer to disable such functionality.

From our Newsletters and publications, we can track usage and reading to see which areas are of particular interest. This enables us to incorporate more articles of a similar nature.

We may also receive personal information from third parties. If we do, we will protect it as set out in the Privacy Policy. You have a right to refuse us authorisation to collect information from a third party.

Sometimes you may provide us with someone else’s personal information, e.g. other members of your family group. You must not do this unless you have their consent to do so. You should also take reasonable steps to inform them of the matters set out in the Privacy Policy.

Are you obliged to provide us with personal information?

You are not required to provide us with the information that we request, or to allow us to collect information from third parties. However, where you choose not to provide us with the information we request, we may not be able to provide you with services that you have requested from us, and we may elect to terminate our arrangement with you. Importantly, if you provide either inaccurate or incomplete information to us you risk obtaining products or services that may not be appropriate or suitable for your needs and you may risk suffering a financial detriment or financial loss.

What happens if we obtain information about you which we have not solicited?

Where we receive unsolicited personal information about you, we will consider if we could have collected the information if we had solicited the information. Where we determine that we could have collected the personal information from you, we will treat your personal information in the same manner as if we have solicited the information directly from you. Where we determine that we could not have collected the personal information, we will destroy the information or ensure that the information is de-identified as soon as practicable.

Use and disclosure of your personal information

Euroz Hartleys may use your personal information for the primary purpose of providing financial services to you, as well as for related purposes such as:

• to verify your identity or transactions which you may enter into with us;

• to comply with laws and regulatory requirements including complying with any request made by a governmental authority or regulator, including in connection with legal proceedings or the prevention or detection of fraud and crime;
• to comply with Euroz Hartleys risk management policies and procedures;
• those involved in providing, managing, or administering the products or services you have requested, including those advisers, paraplanners and organisations who work with us; or

• any person considering acquiring an interest in our business.

We may also need to disclose information to any financial institution you have nominated, other Australian Financial Services Licensees, share registries, the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) and the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) for the purpose of completing transactions on your behalf. In addition, we are required to disclose information to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and Australian Taxation Office as part of our regulatory reporting.

Do we disclose personal information for marketing?

We may use your personal information to offer products and services that we believe may interest you. We may also disclose your personal information to external service providers who assist us to market our products or services.

We are permitted to use personal information for marketing if the client would reasonably expect us to do so and when the client has been provided with a simple means of opting out of the marketing service.

Government related identifiers

Although in certain circumstances we are required to collect government identifiers such as your tax file number, Medicare number or pension card number, we do not use or disclose this information other than when authorised by law or unless you have voluntarily consented to disclose this information to a third party.

Access and correction and updating personal information

Generally, we will provide you with access to your personal information that we hold within a reasonable time of a request unless an exception applies under the Privacy Act. Where we provide you with access to such information, we may charge you a reasonable fee to cover our costs.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information we collect, use or disclose is accurate, up to date, complete and relevant. In the event that you become aware, or believe, that any personal information which we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete, you may contact us to correct the information.

If we disagree about the correction you have supplied, and refuse to correct the personal information, or if we believe that we are unable to comply with your request, we will give you a written notice to that effect. You have the right to make a complaint if you disagree with our decisions in relation to these matters.

Euroz Hartleys stores personal information in a combination of computer storage facilities, paper-based files and other records. We will take reasonable steps to protect personal information from loss, misuse, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Where we employ data processors to process personal information on our behalf, we only do so on the basis that such data processors comply with the requirements under the Australian Privacy Act and GDPR and that have adequate technical measures in place to protect personal information against unauthorised use, loss and theft.

In the event that you cease to be a client of ours, any personal information which we hold about you will be maintained for a period of not less than 7 years in order to comply with legislative and professional requirements.

You acknowledge that personal data that you submit for publication through our website or services may be available, via the internet, around the world. We cannot prevent the use (or misuse) of such personal data by others.

Cross-border disclosure of personal information

We do not currently disclose your personal information overseas, however some third party providers we may engage with from time to time may have registered overseas locations. In the event that we do disclose your personal information overseas, Euroz Hartleys will make reasonable steps to ensure that the foreign recipient will not breach the Australian Privacy Principals and to ensure that they are subject to similar privacy laws that will afford protection in the same manner as the Australian Privacy Principals.
