Your privacy is important to us. At all times CFSG Pty Ltd, the Concept Financial Services Group including all related and associated entities (“CFSG” or “We”) will endeavour to comply with the National Privacy Principles contained in the Australian Privacy Act.

CFSG will ensure that, wherever possible, it protects the privacy of any personal information it obtains. CFSG may need to disclose some personal information to organisations that assist in operating CFSG and carry out administration functions on behalf of CFSG. Any such disclosure will be done on a strictly confidential basis.

CFSG will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that it holds is protected against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

How and why we collect personal information?

CFSG collects the following personal information in order to conduct its business:

  • Investors: CFSG retains a number of service providers for custodian, registry and administration services. These service providers collect personal information about investors on behalf of CFSG.
  • Business contacts: Often CFSG is required to collect personal information from people it does business with. Usually this happens when we collect the name and business contact details of a person who is the contact in a government agency or company we deal with, or in one of our contractors or suppliers.
  • CFSG Website users: CFSG may also collect personal information through its website. For instance, if you request a copy of a CFSG Information Memorandum.

Will CFSG share your personal information?

CFSG will not sell, rent, trade or share personal information about you to or with others. Personal information collected by us may be disclosed to:

  • Related bodies corporate of CFSG
  • Outsourced specialist third parties

Generally, we require that organisations outside of CFSG who handle or obtain personal information as service providers to CFSG acknowledge the confidentiality of this information, undertake to respect any individual’s right to privacy and comply with the National Privacy Principles and this policy.

The only other time CFSG would make disclosures of personal information is if we are required to do so by law, or if the disclosure is permitted under the Privacy Act.

Storage of personal information

Safeguarding the privacy of your information is important to us. CFSG takes all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information it holds is secure from unauthorised access, destruction, use, modification or disclosure. CFSG only permits your details to be accessed by authorised personnel.

Do I have the right to check what personal information is held by CFSG?

Under the Australian Privacy Act, you have the right to obtain a copy of any personal information which CFSG holds about you and to advise CFSG of any perceived inaccuracy.

CFSG may ask you to pay its reasonable costs of responding to your request. We will acknowledge your request within 14 days and respond promptly to it.
