What is
Personal Information and why do we collect it?

Personal

This Personal Information is obtained in many ways including
correspondence, by telephone and facsimile, by email, via our website and from
other publicly available sources. We don’t guarantee website links or policy of
authorised third parties.

We
collect your Personal Information for the primary purpose of providing our
services to you, providing information to our clients and marketing. We may
also use your Personal Information for secondary purposes closely related to
the primary purpose, in circumstances where you would reasonably expect such
use or disclosure. You may unsubscribe from our mailing/marketing lists at any
time by contacting us in writing.

When we collect Personal Information we will, where appropriate
and where possible, explain to you why we are collecting the information and
how we plan to use it.

about such things as an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions,
membership of a political association, religious or philosophical beliefs,
membership of a trade union or other professional body, criminal record or
health information.

Sensitive
information will be used by us only:

• For the primary purpose for which
  it was obtained
• For a secondary purpose that is
  directly related to the primary purpose
• With your consent; or where required or authorised by law.

Third Parties

Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your
Personal Information only from you. However, in some circumstances we may be
provided with information by third parties. In such a case we will take
reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the information provided
to us by the third party.

Disclosure

Your
Personal Information may be disclosed in a number of circumstances including
the following:

• Third parties where you consent
  to the use or disclosure; and
• Where required or authorised by law.

Security of
Personal Information

Your
Personal Information is stored in a manner that reasonably protects it from
misuse and loss and from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure.

When your Personal Information is no longer needed for the
purpose for which it was obtained, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or
permanently de-identify your Personal Information. However, most of the
Personal Information is or will be stored in client files which will be kept by
us for a minimum of 7 years.
