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.
Collecting personal information:
TFOM will not collect or monitor any personal information about an individual without their consent. The only personal information collected is what has been provided voluntarily.
Use and disclosure of personal information
Any personal information that 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 TFOM for those service providers to fulfill their service obligations to the firm. For example: IT service providers who assist in managing TFOM’s servers and networks may need to access client data to maintain the servers and networks;
Where personal information is disclosed to an external party, TFOM will take steps to ensure that the external party treats such information confidentially and in accordance with the federal Privacy Act 1988.
