Your Privacy Rights

Under Australian Privacy Principles, you have several important rights regarding your personal information. You can request access to any information we hold about you, and we'll provide this within a reasonable timeframe, usually within 30 days.

If any of your information changes or if you spot an error in our records, you can request corrections at any time. You also have the right to request deletion of your information, though we may need to retain some records for legal compliance purposes.

You can withdraw consent for us to use your information for marketing communications at any time. This won't affect any services already provided, but we'll stop sending promotional materials immediately upon request.

  • Correct inaccurate or outdated information
  • Request deletion of your data (subject to legal requirements)
  • Withdraw marketing consent at any time

Information Sharing and Disclosure

We don't sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. Your financial data remains confidential and is only used within our team to provide the budget review services you've requested.

In some cases, we may need to share information with trusted service providers who assist with our operations, such as secure cloud storage providers or communication platforms. These providers are carefully selected and bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

We may be required to disclose information if legally compelled by Australian authorities, but we will notify you of such requests unless legally prohibited from doing so.

If our business structure changes through merger or acquisition, we'll ensure any new entity maintains the same privacy standards and will notify you of any changes to how your information is handled.

If you contact us through our website forms, the information is transmitted securely and stored according to the same standards as other client communications. We don't use tracking pixels or similar technologies in our email communications.
