Privacy Policy
Russell Barnier, Solicitor (ABN 85 491 188 958) of PO Box 1328, Kangaroo Flat 3555 (BarnierLaw) is committed to respecting the privacy of clients’ personal information. This is how we collect and what we do with your personal information.
Personal Information
Your personal information includes information that can identify you as an individual and can include, for example, your name and address, date of birth and Australian Business Number (ABN).
We require certain personal information so we can act for you. Different matters require different levels of information and we will make you aware of what personal information we require to carry out the service you have asked us to provide.
In most cases we will ask you for your personal information, but in some cases we may require your permission to obtain certain information from third parties – for example where we are checking for you the accuracy of information they may hold about you.
Compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
Barnier Law complies with the APPs under the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 (Clth) (“the Act”) and other applicable laws to protect your privacy.
Personal information in our possession
We treat your personal information as strictly private and confidential. We will not disclose your personal information to third parties unless:
- you have given us your permission
- it is required in the course of legal services we are providing to you
- it is for external administrative purposes (e.g. courier services)
- we are required to do so by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority
We do not disclose your personal information (including your email address or telephone numbers) to any third party for the purpose of marketing products or services to you.
Accessing and updating your personal information
At any time you may request access to personal information that we hold about you. In some cases an administration fee may be charged for locating and retrieving such information. If it is no longer accurate, we will update it with current information provided by you.
In certain circumstances we may be permitted by law to deny you access to your personal information. If this occurs, we will always provide our reasons for doing so.
Security of personal information
We take reasonable steps to protect all of the personal information we hold from misuse and loss and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. This protection applies in relation to information stored in both electronic and hard copy form.
When we no longer need to hold your personal information, it will be securely destroyed or removed. This usually occurs seven years after the completion of your matter.
Sensitive information
We will not collect, use or disclose sensitive information about you unless you consent or where it is allowed by law or in providing our legal services to you. Sensitive information can include such things as racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, memberships, religious beliefs, sexual preference, health or criminal record.
