This privacy policy may change from time to time and it is therefore important that you review it regularly.

What personal information do we collect and handle?

Personal information is any information or opinion (whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not) about you as an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

The types of personal information we collect and handle may include, but are not limited to contact information, such as your name, postal and/or home address, telephone number and email address.

We will collect personal information directly from you wherever it is reasonable and practical to do so. We may collect personal information from you:

when you complete a form or a survey.

We may also collect your personal information from third parties including:

real estate agents and other third parties who provide services to us; and
other third party selling agents for marketing purposes.

You must only provide us with the personal information of someone else if you have that person’s consent to do so.

We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for a number of reasons, including:

to respond to your comments or questions;
to assess and improve the performance of our website;

to contact you if we believe there is any information we believe you might be interested in;
for marketing purposes; and
to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Who might we disclose your personal information to?

We may disclose your personal information to various third parties for any of the purposes identified above. The types of third parties with whom we exchange personal information include:

our service providers, including providers of promotion, accounting, auditing, legal, data processing, data analysis, document management, information broking, research, and technology services;
various third party suppliers and partners, which provide services and support for our operations;
law enforcement agencies and other organisations where required or permitted by law; and
service providers engaged by us from time to time, to contact you to request your feedback on our website or our projects.

Any personal information that we collect from you is stored in Australia. However, if we need to disclose your personal information to overseas recipients, we will update this Privacy Policy by specifying the countries in which they are located.

What if we can’t collect your personal information?

If you do not provide us with the personal information we need, some or all of the following may occur:

we may not be able to offer or provide you with information;
and we may not be able to respond to your requests.

You may also request the correction of any of the personal information we hold about you. In most cases, we can help you promptly and informally with these requests. In other cases, we may need to verify your identity and ask you to make your request in writing.

From time to time, we may need to reject your request to access or correct the personal information we hold about you, if we believe it to be necessary and to the extent allowed by law. We will provide our reasons if we deny your request for access to, or correction of, your personal information. Where we decide not to make a requested correction to your personal information and you disagree, you may ask us to make a note of your requested correction with the information we hold about you. We won’t charge you for simply making a request to access or correct personal information. However, we may charge reasonable costs for carrying out your request.
