In this Privacy Policy and, where appropriate, a reference to 'personal information' includes 'sensitive information'.

We may (from time to time) update, revise, amend or replace this Privacy Policy by posting any changes to it on our website or by giving you any other form of notification.

How we collect personal information from you?

We will collect personal information from you in the following circumstances:

Lot Owners

We will collect personal information in relation to your purchase of a lot following acquisition of the lot, usually from your legal representative. Following acquisition, we will also request and you and your agent may provide personal information that will assist us to identify you and contact you in the ordinary course of our management of the owners corporation.

In addition, during the ordinary course, we may receive personal information from you and/or your agent(s).

How we collect personal information from other sources?

We can collect personal information about you from other sources in any manner permitted by the Act. We will only collect personal information from other sources where it is reasonably necessary for us to do so in relation to, or in connection with, any services we are supplying in connection with our Strata Management Agency business.

Examples of such sources of personal information include:

When the law authorises or requires collection of personal information

There are laws that may require us to collect and disclose your personal information. For example, we may be required to collect and disclose your personal information pursuant to the Property, Stock and Business Agents Act 2002 (NSW), Strata Schemes Management Act 2015 (NSW), Community Land Management Act 1989 (NSW) including any regulation under those laws.

Sharing personal information with related companies

We may share personal information about you with our related companies for any of the purposes described above.

Sharing personal information outside Australia

We may store information about you in the cloud or other types of networked or electronic storage. As electronic or networked storage can be accessed from various countries through an internet connection it is not always practical to know in which country personal information about you may be held.

We will take reasonable steps to ensure that any overseas organisation that receives your personal information will comply with the Act.

If you do not provide personal information

If you do not provide your personal information to us, it may not be possible to provide you with the service that you have requested or applied for, for example:

Anonymity and pseudonymity

We are not always able to deal with people who do not wish to identify themselves.

However, where possible, we can provide information of a general nature by telephone about the management of a property to unidentified individuals. Of course, if an individual makes an enquiry by email or other electronic or written methods then there is every possibility that the mode of communication may identify you.

Information security

We take reasonable steps to protect all information which we hold (including any personal or sensitive information) from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Marketing and opt-out

We may also use the information, including personal information (excluding sensitive information), provided by you for marketing and research purposes, to analyse and improve products, services and benefits and to inform you of products, services and benefits provided by us, our related entities, suppliers or sponsors which we consider may be of value or interest to you, unless you tell us (see the marketing opt-out below), or have previously told us not to. We will not use your sensitive information for these purposes without your consent.

Accessing your Personal Information

Unless we are entitled to withhold access to your personal information (and there are various reasons why this may be the case), you have the right to request access to any personal information held by us which relates to you. We may charge a reasonable fee where access to personal information is provided. Any requests for access to your personal information should be made in writing to the Privacy Officer (details specified below). You also have the right to request the correction of any personal information which relates to you that is inaccurate, incomplete, irrelevant, misleading or out-of-date.

If you require any further information about our management of personal information or have any queries or complaints, you should contact:
