Collecting your information using this website

Our firm only collects personal information from our website that is volunteered by visitors. For example, a visitor to our site may choose to provide this information to register for certain areas of the site, or by contacting us using the online enquiry form.

Use and Disclosure

We will only use and disclose your personal information for the primary purpose for which it is collected, for a secondary purpose which is related to the primary purpose, where that relationship is reasonably expected, and in other circumstances authorised by the Act.

We collect, use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

- To conduct our business
- To provide services and products to you
- To communicate with you
- To comply with our legal obligations

We will only disclose your personal information to:

Our firm collect the contact details of other people we do business with, such as suppliers and government departments or agencies. We use this information only for the business purpose for which it is collected. We do not share this information with any third party.

When a visitor provides this type of identifiable information to us, we use it solely for the purposes for which it was provided. Our policy is not to share personally identifiable information with third parties, unless required by law, or unless explicitly requested by a visitor. We recognise that your information is valuable and we take all reasonable measures to protect your information while it is in our care.

It is not always practicable to obtain authority regarding the disclosure of personal information direct from each individual. We will assume (where it is reasonable to do so) that when you give us personal information about other individuals, you have made them aware that you will or may provide their personal information to us, the purpose we use it for, the types of third parties we disclose it to and how they can access it. If you have not done these things you must tell us before you provide the relevant information.

How will we keep your personal information secure?

We take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information that our firm holds. All of our staff are required to respect the confidentiality of personal information and the privacy of individuals.

Accessing and Correcting your Personal Information

We make all efforts to ensure that personal information that we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date. We encourage you to contact us in order to update any personal information we hold about you.

We wish to advise that government bodies impose penalties for failing to update their databases of changes to information. If we act as your agent in respect of notifying those relevant bodies, we must be advised of the relevant change immediately (and preferably before the change).
