Data Sharing and Third Parties

We share your information only when necessary for service delivery or required by law. Here's exactly who might access your data and why.

Our Commitment
We never sell your personal information to marketers or data brokers. Any sharing serves your interests or fulfills legal obligations.

Before sharing information with any new partner, we evaluate their privacy practices and establish agreements that protect your data to the same standards we maintain.

Data Security Measures

Protecting your financial information is fundamental to everything we do. We implement multiple layers of security that meet industry standards and regulatory expectations.

Technical Safeguards
  • Bank-level encryption for all data transmission and storage
  • Multi-factor authentication for team access to client information
  • Regular security audits and penetration testing
  • Automated backup systems with geographic redundancy
  • Secure cloud infrastructure with 24/7 monitoring
Operational Security
  • Staff privacy training and regular security awareness updates
  • Clear desk policies and locked filing systems for physical documents
  • Visitor access controls and security camera systems
  • Incident response procedures for potential data breaches
  • Regular review and update of security policies

If we ever experience a security incident that affects your information, we'll notify you promptly and take immediate steps to minimize any impact. We also report significant breaches to relevant authorities as required by law.

Data Retention and Deletion

We keep your information only as long as needed for service delivery and legal compliance. Different types of data have different retention requirements based on Australian regulations.

7Y
Financial Advice Records
ASIC requires us to maintain advice documentation, client instructions, and compliance records for seven years after service ends

When retention periods expire, we securely delete digital records and shred physical documents. You can request early deletion of non-essential information, though some records must be preserved for regulatory compliance regardless of your preferences.

International Data Transfers

Most of your information stays within Australia, but some of our technology partners operate overseas. We ensure these transfers meet Australian privacy standards and provide adequate protection.

Approved Transfer Mechanisms
  • Cloud storage providers with Australian data centers and local data sovereignty
  • Software vendors in countries with adequate privacy protection (EU, UK, Canada)
  • Service providers bound by contractual privacy commitments equivalent to Australian law
  • Emergency data recovery systems with encrypted international backup locations

Before transferring any data internationally, we assess the destination country's privacy laws and the recipient's data protection measures. We maintain records of all international transfers and can provide details upon request.
