We are committed to ensuring all personal information is only collected, disclosed, used and stored in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles set out under the federal Privacy Act 1988.
What is ‘personal information’?
‘Personal information’ is 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 or not, about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from the information or opinion.
Use and disclosure of personal information
Any personal information we collect will only be used and disclosed for the purpose for which it has been provided to us.
Personal information may need to be disclosed to external service providers engaged by Pivotus in order for those service providers to fulfil their service obligations to the firm.
For example: IT service providers who assist in managing Pivotus’ servers and networks may need to access client data in order to maintain the servers and networks. Where personal information is disclosed to an external party, Pivotus will take steps to ensure the external party treats such information confidentially and in accordance with the federal Privacy Act 1988.
