CLARENCE PROPERTY CORPORATION LIMITED

GENERAL
Clarence Property Corporation Limited (we, us or our) recognise that your privacy is important and we are committed to protecting the personal information we collect from you. The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), Australian Privacy Principles and registered privacy codes govern the way in which we must manage your personal information. This policy sets out how we collect, use, disclose and otherwise manage your personal information.

COLLECTION
TYPES OF INFORMATION COLLECTED
We may collect and hold personal information about you, that is, information that can identify you and is relevant to providing you with the services and products you are seeking. The kinds of information we typically collect include name, gender, address, phone number, email address, facsimile number, bank account details, tax file numbers or other information relevant to providing you with the services and products you are, or someone else you know, is seeking.

METHOD OF COLLECTION
Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through the use of any of our standard forms, over the internet, via email, or through a telephone conversation with you. We may also collect personal information about you from third parties acting on your behalf (for instance, financial advisers).

There may, however, be some instances where personal information about you will be collected indirectly because it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect personal information directly from you. We will usually notify you about these instances in advance, or where that is not possible, as soon as reasonably practicable after the information has been collected.

PURPOSE OF COLLECTION
The personal information that we collect and hold about you, depends on your interaction with us. Generally, we collect, use and hold your personal information if it is reasonably necessary for or directly related to the performance of our functions and activities and for the purposes of:

• providing services and products to you or someone else you know;
• providing you with marketing information, including newsletters and emails about other services and products we offer which may be of interest to you, including future investment opportunities;
• responding to your enquiries;
• facilitating our internal business operations, including the fulfilment of any legal requirements; and
• analysing our services and products with a view to improving those services and products.
  Except as otherwise permitted by law, we only collect sensitive information about you if you consent to the collection of the information and if the information is reasonably necessary for the performance of our functions, as set out above.

FAILURE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION
If the personal information you provide to us is incomplete or inaccurate, we may be unable to provide you, or someone else you know, with the services and products you, or they, are seeking.

We use cookies to monitor usage of our website and to create a personal record of when you visit our website and what page you view so that we may serve you more effectively.

Generally, we only use or disclose personal information about you for the purposes for which it was collected (as set out above). We may disclose personal information about you to:

• our related entities to facilitate our and their internal business processes;
• third party service providers who assist us in operating our business, and providing services to you such as:
  
  • third parties who assist with transactions, including financial institutions and payment service providers;
  • third parties who assist with the business, including information technology and marketing service providers, and these third party service providers may not be required to comply with our privacy policy;
• and our related entities and other organisations with whom we have affiliations, so that those organisations may provide you with information about services, products, future investment offers, upcoming projects and various promotions.

In some circumstances, the law may permit or require us to use or disclose personal information for other purposes (for instance, where you would reasonably expect us to and the purpose is related to the purpose of collection).

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION OVERSEAS
We are likely to disclose your personal information overseas. For instance, our related bodies corporate, third party service providers or other recipients may be based overseas or may use infrastructure outside Australia, including the USA, the EEA, Asia and India. We take reasonable steps to ensure information disclosed overseas is handled with this policy and relevant law.

We store your personal information in different ways, including in paper and electronic form. The security of your personal information is important to us. We take reasonable measures to ensure your personal information is stored safely to protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, interference, modification or disclosure, including electronic and physical security measures.

ACCESS AND CORRECTION
You may request access to personal information we hold about you, by making a written request. We will respond to your request within a reasonable period. We may charge you a reasonable fee for processing your request (but not for making a request for access).

We may decline a request for access to personal information in circumstances prescribed by the Privacy Act and if we do, we will provide you with a written notice that sets out the reasons for th refusal (unless it would be unreasonable to provide those reasons).

If, upon receiving access to your personal information, or at any other time, you believe the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, please notify us immediately. We will take reasonable steps to correct the information so that it is accurate, complete and up to date.
