Collection of Personal Information (other than Sensitive Information)
It is our usual practice to collect personal information (other than sensitive information) directly from the subject individual or their authorised representative(s).
Personal information means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a database), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.
Some examples of the personal information we might collect include (but are not limited to):
Identification
You may choose to interact with us using a pseudonym and/or not identify yourself.
In circumstances where we are required to do so, or are authorised by law, a court or tribunal to ask for your identification, we will request your personal information.
Further, it is likely that it will be impractical for us to interact with you without some form of identification, and therefore we will request identification details from you at the beginning of each transaction.
For example, we will not be able to open a commercial credit trading account or process a commercial credit application for you without obtaining identification details.
How we will collect and hold your personal information
We only collect and hold personal information by lawful and fair means.
There are several ways we may collect your personal information, including when you:
In some circumstances, we may collect and hold personal information that has been collected from a third party (such as an associated entity or service provider) or a publicly available source.
This will likely occur in instances where:
We will take steps to hold personal information in a manner which is secure and protected from unauthorised access.
Your personal information may be held in either a physical form or in electronic form on our IT system.
Where stored in electronic form on our IT system, we will take steps to protect the information against modification, disclosure, or misuse by including such things as physical restrictions, password protections, internal and external firewalls, and anti-virus software.
We will also endeavour to ensure that our service providers have protection for electronic IT systems and other necessary restrictions.
We will endeavour to ensure our staff are trained with respect to the security of the personal information we hold, and we will restrict any access where necessary.
While we retain personal information for as long as necessary in relation to the purposes for which it is collected, we will endeavour to destroy and de-identify the personal information once it is no longer required, except as required for business record purposes.
If we collect personal information about you from someone else, we will advise you as soon as practicable that this information has been collected and the circumstances which surround the collection.
In we collect personal information (including sensitive information) that is unsolicited, and we were not permitted to collect it, the personal information will be destroyed as soon as reasonably practicable.
If we have received sensitive information incidental to our collection of personal information, we will endeavour to notify you of the specific sensitive information that has been collected and destroy that sensitive information, as soon as reasonably practicable.
