About this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, keep secure and provide access to personal information held by us.

Collecting your personal information

The personal information provided to the Company includes the investor’s name, postal and/or residential address, telephone and facsimile numbers, bank account details and tax file number.

The Company uses the personal information contained in the application form for related purposes such as administration and providing services to investors in relation to their investment in debentures issued by the Company.  Administration includes monitoring, auditing, evaluating, modelling data, dealing with complaints, answering queries and providing services in relation to investments with the Company.

In certain cases we may collect your personal information from third parties.  For example, we may need to collect personal information from your representative (such as an authorised legal or financial adviser).

If investors do not provide the information requested in the application form, the Company may not be able to process or accept the application.
