The Silverhall Group (Silverhall) will comply with the provisions of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act).

Silverhall will ensure that individuals are advised of Silverhall's identity whenever personal information is collected.

In summary, 'personal information' is information or an opinion relating to an individual which can be used to identify that individual.

Silverhall may collect personal information in order to conduct our business, to provide and market our services and to meet our legal obligations.

The type of information we may collect and hold includes (but is not limited to) personal information about:

• clients, business associates and potential clients and their employees;
• suppliers and their employees; and
• prospective employees, employees and contractors.

Personal information may consist of names, addresses, contact details, occupations and other information.

In many cases, if personal information we request is not provided, we may not be able to supply the relevant product or service. Silverhall will use its best endeavors to ensure that an individual is advised of the consequences of not providing the requested information. This may include individual collection statements.

Silverhall will ensure the individual is advised (via the respective individual collection statements) of the type of organisation that may be provided with the collected information. Organisations to which Silverhall discloses information may include insurers, solicitors and mailing houses.

Silverhall will not provide personal information to third parties without the prior consent of the individual providing the information.

Silverhall will only collect and use information for the purpose exposed to the individual at the time of collection (via the respective individual collection statements). Organisations to which Silverhall discloses information may include insurers, solicitors and mailing houses.

Silverhall will destroy any personal information collected, either once its need has been met or as prescribed by the Privacy Act.

Silverhall will ensure that all personal information remains secure from unauthorized access. Silverhall will not send your personal information to recipients outside of Australia without obtaining your consent (in some cases consent will be implied) or complying with the Privacy Act.

Silverhall will ensure that an equitable and unbiased complaint process is available to all individuals. The Compliance Officer, an internally appointed position, will oversee this process. Silverhall will ensure that where a complaint cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of all parties involved, the matter will be referred unhindered to the Federal Commissioner of Privacy for action.

Silverhall will make available to an individual on receipt of a formal request, the personal information collected from that individual. Silverhall reserves the right to refuse a request to access personal information, where the identity of the individual making the request is in doubt, or where legal professional privilege exists or where Silverhall's rights may be prejudiced.

Silverhall will take all reasonable precautions to ensure the personal information it has collected from an individual remains correct and accurate.

Silverhall takes reasonable steps to protect personal information held from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
