You are not required to provide us with your personal information when dealing with us. When dealing with us, you have the option of not identifying yourself or using a pseudonym. However, if you do not identify yourself to us, then we may not be able to provide you with our products or services.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We will update this Privacy Policy when our information handling practices change. The current version of our Privacy Policy can be accessed free of charge on our website (www.blackfoxproperty.com) or by contacting the Privacy Officer using the details set out below.

What is personal information?

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

Personal information we collect and hold

The type of personal information we collect and hold will depend on your relationship with Blackfox Property, and may include the following:

1. your full name, date of birth, contact and other details (including your residential address, e-mail address, fax and telephone number), including details of any     entity through which you acquire a financial product or receive another financial service from us;
2. information and/or documentation to verify your identity for the purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 (AML/CTF Act) and/or other legislation and regulations regarding identification verification, and tax reporting and withholding;
3. information and/or documentation to support you qualifying as a ‘wholesale client’ or a ‘sophisticated investor’ for the purposes of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth);
4. your tax file number (as authorised under the tax laws and the Privacy Act) and bank account details;
5. information that may allow us to evaluate whether to, and if we determined to do so, grant a lease or enter into agreements with you, and to manage our relationship with you as a tenant, including your rental history;
6. information you provide when you apply for employment at Blackfox Property, including when providing a resume or completing new employee forms;
7. any correspondence between you and us; and
8. any other personal information you provide when you make an inquiry, request information or otherwise correspond with us.

How we collect your personal information

Unless it is unreasonable or impractical for us to do so, we will collect your personal information from you directly, including:

1. from application forms, such as an application form completed by you to acquire a financial product or receive other financial services from us;
2. through your use of our website, or any internal website or intranet, as well as any Blackfox Property social media page (collectively, the Website);
3. from communications between you and our officers, employees and representatives (including communications conducted in person, over the phone, by email or otherwise); and
4. from promotional and marketing activities undertaken by us, in which we request or otherwise receive personal information from you (such as from competitions organised by us).

However, we may also collect information about you from third parties, such as:

1. your financial or other professional advisor or broker;
2. your authorised representatives, such as executors or administrators;
3. your referees, recruitment consultants, previous employers and other persons who may be able to provide information to assist in us deciding whether or not to make you an offer of employment;
4. outsourced service providers or contractors; and
5. other third parties you have authorised to provide your personal information.

How we hold your personal information

All personal information we collect will be held securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Generally personal information is stored electronically with hard copy records retained and stored securely.  We will protect your personal information and prevent unauthorised access through the use of secure passwords, user logins, or other security procedures, including firewalls and anti-virus technology.  All external service providers engaged by Blackfox Property are required to hold personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act.

However, we cannot provide any assurance regarding the security of information transmitted to us online, as the internet is inherently insecure. Nor can we guarantee that the supply of information from you to us will not be intercepted. Information you transmit to us online is at your own risk.

We will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify personal information when it is no longer required or where we have received unsolicited personal information. However, we may be required by law to retain certain personal information for a specified period of time, after which we will securely destroy or delete the information.

Part IIIC of the Privacy Act established the Notifiable Data Breaches Scheme (NDB Scheme) in Australia. The NDB Scheme sets out obligations for notifying affected individuals and the Australian Information Commissioner about a data breach which is likely to result in serious harm. Where serious harm to affected individuals is likely, we will notify those individuals and the Commissioner in accordance with our legal obligations. You may contact our Privacy Officer using the details set out below should you require additional information

Use of our Website

We may use “cookies” to help us tailor our Website to better suit your needs and improve our service. Cookies are packets of information stored in your computer's memory and hard drive when you visit certain web pages. Cookies are used to enable websites to function or to provide information to the owners of a website.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note this may interrupt your ability to use the full functionality of the Website.

We use cookies on the Website for the following purposes:

1. Analytical purposes - Analytical cookies allow us to recognise, measure and track visitors to the Website. This helps us improve and develop the way the Website works, for example, by determining whether site visitors can find information easily, or by identifying the aspects of the Website that are of the most interest to them. We may use analytical reports (such as those provided by Google Analytics) to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage.
2. The Website uses Google Analytics, a service which transmits website traffic data to Google servers in the United States. Google Analytics does not identify individual users or associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We use reports provided by Google Analytics to help us understand website traffic and webpage usage.
3. Usage preferences - Some of the cookies on the Website are activated when visitors to our Websites make a choice about their usage of the Website. The Website then “remembers” the settings preferences of the user concerned. This allows us to tailor aspects of the Website to the individual user.
4. Terms and conditions - We use cookies on the Website to record when a website visitor has seen a policy, such as this one, or provided consent, such as consent to the terms and conditions on the Website. This helps to improve the user's experience of the Website – for example, it avoids a user from repeatedly being asked to consent to the same terms.
5. Session management - The software that runs the Website uses cookies for technical purposes needed by the internal workings of our servers. For instance, we use cookies to distribute requests among multiple servers, authenticate users and determine what features of the Website they can access, verify the origin of requests, keep track of information about a user's session and determine which options or pages to display in order for the Website to function.
6. Functional purposes - Functional purpose cookies store information that is needed by our applications to process and operate. For example, where transactions or requests within an application involve multiple workflow stages, cookies are used to store the information from each stage temporarily in order to facilitate completion of the overall transaction or request.

Direct marketing

We may also send you direct marketing communications and information about any other products or services offered by us that we expect may be of interest to you. These communications may be sent in various forms, including posted mail and email. You may opt-out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by contacting the Privacy Officer using the details set out below.
