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;

in relation to options, warrants and other derivative products;

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.

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

of a person;

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;

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
