PRIVACY PRINCIPLES
Taylor Collison Limited (“Taylor Collison”) abides by the National Privacy Principles established under the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act, 2001. A summary of the National Privacy Principles is available by contacting our office.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
We are subject to certain legislative and regulatory requirements that necessitate us obtaining and holding detailed information that personally identifies you and/or contains information or an opinion about you ("personal information"). In addition, our ability to provide you with stockbroking and investment advisory services is dependent on us obtaining certain personal information about you, including:

. Name, address, securities holdings, tax file number and details of your bank account details;
. Details of your financial needs, objectives, circumstances, and tolerance to risk.

Failure to provide the personal information referred to above may expose you to higher risks in respect of the recommendations made to you and may affect the adequacy or appropriateness of advice we give to you.

COLLECTION POLICIES

We will not collect any personal information about you except when you have knowingly provided that information to us or authorised a third party to provide that information to us.
Generally collection of your personal information will be effected in either a face-to-face interview, over the telephone, or by way of a client engagement form. From time to time additional and/or updated personal information may be collected through one or more of those methods.
We will only collect, maintain and use personal information about you if it is necessary for us to adequately provide to you the services you have requested including:

. making securities and investment recommendations;
. portfolio services;
. advice in relation to options, warrants and other derivative products;
. equity financing (margin lending);
. reviewing securities and investment recommendations.

DISCLOSURE POLICIES
We will not use or disclose Personal Information collected by us for any purpose other than:

the purposes for which it was provided or secondary related purposes in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such use or disclosure; or,

. where you have consented to such disclosure; or,
. where the National Privacy Principles authorise use or disclosure where required or authorised under law, in circumstances
  relating to public health and safety and in connection with certain operations by or on behalf of an enforcement body.


We are required under the Rules and Regulations of the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) to make certain information available for inspection by the ASX on request to ensure ongoing compliance. This may involve the disclosure of your personal information. We are also obliged, pursuant to the Corporations Act, to maintain certain transaction records and make those records available for inspection by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

We may use the personal information collected from you for the purpose of providing you with material such as articles that may be of interest to you, however you may request not to receive such information and we will give effect to that request.

DOCUMENT STORAGE AND SECURITY POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Your personal information is generally held in your client file or a computer database.
We will at all times seek to ensure that the personal information collected and held by us is protected from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. At all times your personal information is treated as confidential and any sensitive information is treated as highly confidential. All computer-based information is protected through the use of access passwords on each computer. Data is backed up each evening and stored securely off site.
In the event you cease to be a client of this organisation, any personal information which we hold about you will be maintained in a secure storage facility for a period of 7 years in order to comply with legislative and professional requirements, following which time hardcopy information will be destroyed.

GAINING ACCESS TO YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION
You may at any time, by contacting us by any of the methods detailed below, request access to your personal information and we will (subject to the following exceptions) provide you with access to that information either by providing you with copies of the information requested, allowing you to inspect the information requested or providing you with an accurate summary of the information held. We will, prior to providing access in accordance with this policy, require you to provide evidence of your identity.
We will not provide you with access to your personal information if:

. providing access would pose a serious threat to the life or health of a person;
. providing access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others;
. the request for access is frivolous or vexatious;
. the information related to existing or anticipated legal proceedings between us and would not be discoverable in those
  proceedings;
. providing access would reveal our intentions in relation to negotiations with you in such a way as to prejudice those negotiations;
. providing access would be unlawful;
. denying access is required or authorised by or under law;
. providing access would be likely to prejudice certain operations by or on behalf of an enforcement body or an enforcement body   requests that access not be provided on the grounds of national security.

In the event we refuse you access to your personal information, we will provide you with an explanation for that refusal.

INFORMATION ACCESS AND CORRECTION POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

We will endeavour to ensure that, at all times, the personal information about you that we hold is up to date and accurate. In the event that you become aware, or believe, that any personal information which we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or outdated, you may contact us by any of the methods detailed below and provide to us evidence of the inaccuracy or incompleteness or out datedness and we will, if we agree that the information requires correcting, take all reasonable steps to correct the information.

If we do not agree that your personal information requires correcting, we must, if you request, take reasonable steps to ensure that whenever your personal information is accessed or handled in the future, it is apparent that you are not satisfied as to the accuracy or completeness of that information.
We will endeavour to respond to any request for access within 14-28 days depending on the complexity of the information and/or the request. If your request is urgent please indicate this clearly.
