Cookies, Security and Anti-Spam Services
The website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential website operation, security, performance measurement and analytics.

We take reasonable steps to limit disclosure to what is necessary for the relevant purpose.
Overseas Processing and Disclosure
Some technology, hosting, email, cloud, security or professional service providers may store or process information outside Australia.
The countries involved may vary depending on the providers used from time to time.
Where applicable, we take reasonable steps required by Australian privacy law in relation to overseas handling of personal information.
Private Fund processes may also involve overseas service providers where this is necessary for the Fund’s administration or operations.
Security
We take reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
No internet transmission or information-storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Where applicable, we will assess and respond to data breaches in accordance with legal requirements, including the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected and for any applicable legal, tax, regulatory, contractual or record-keeping requirements.
Information that is no longer required may be deleted, destroyed or de-identified where appropriate.
Access and Correction
You may request access to personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

We may need to verify your identity before providing access or making a correction.
