> required to conduct skills or behavioural tests;
> required to verify whether you have a criminal record;

This Privacy Policy outlines how Georgeson manages your personal information. It also describes generally the sorts of personal information held and for what purposes, and how that information is collected, stored, used and disclosed. This Privacy Policy applies to information we collect when you use our websites or when you otherwise interact with us in connection with our Services.

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time.


HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

In the course of providing Services to Clients, and in meeting the service needs of their investors, we receive personal information about shareholders. The types of personal information we may collect includes names, address details, phone numbers, email addresses, bank account details and credit card details.

This information can come from you directly when you send us a form, request customer support or otherwise communicate with us. We also collect personal information about you from Clients, for example, the issuer of your shareholding or third parties who are authorised or directed by Clients to provide information to us, including other share registry and financial services providers.

We may also collect information about you from publicly available resources, for example, the information about you that appears in a telephone directory. If you are a shareholder, we may also collect information about you that is included in the public share register in which you hold shares.

When you visit our Georgeson Australia websites (available on Computershare's and Georgeson's websites), information is not collected that could identify you personally unless you choose to provide it. You are welcome to browse our webpages at any time anonymously, without revealing any personal information about yourself. For further information, please read our Australian Web Privacy Policy.


HOW WE USE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We only collect personal information about you that is necessary to perform our functions and activities. We collect information only by fair and lawful means.

Georgeson may collect your personal information:

  • to provide Services to relevant Clients and you, or with other information you have requested;
  • to inform you of other products or services offered by Georgeson and its related bodies corporate;
  • to perform other administrative and operational functions (including systems development and testing, staff training and market or customer satisfaction research); and

DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION TO THIRD PARTIES

Georgeson may disclose your personal information:

  • to our related bodies corporate that provide data processing or other support services including printing and mailing (primarily our parent company, Computershare, or its affiliates since we are members of the Computershare group of companies and these entities are generally located in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America);
  • to other companies or individuals who assist us in supplying our services or who perform functions on our behalf, including providers of contact centre services and products such as automated dialling systems;

ACCESS AND CORRECTION

If we deny your request for access to your personal information, we will tell you why in writing unless, having regard to the grounds for the refusal, it would be unreasonable to do so.

PROTECTING YOUR PRIVACY
Protecting your privacy and your personal information is important to Computershare Dealing Services Pty Limited (ABN 76 085 801 350) (Computershare). We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

Computershare provides an investor trade service which enables eligible securityholders to instruct Computershare to arrange for the sale of their securities where those securities are in an entity that is listed on the ASX and Computershare Investor Services Pty Ltd (CIS) is the share registry provider for that entity (“the Service”).
 
In the course of providing the Service, Computershare needs to collect and maintain certain personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines what personal information we collect and why, what we do with it, and how we protect it.

This privacy policy may be updated from time to time.

If you instruct us to sell some or all of your securities that are eligible to be sold using the Service, we collect the following types of personal information:
> information you provide online such as your name, address, telephone and mobile phone numbers, bank account details, email address and date of birth (for information on privacy practices specific to our websites, please refer to our Australian Web Privacy Policy); and

> to enable Computershare to provide the Service to you;
> to perform administrative and operational functions (including systems development and testing, staff training and market or customer satisfaction research);
> to comply with our regulatory and legal obligations (for example, in order for us to comply with laws relating to the prevention of money laundering and the financing of terrorism (AML laws), we need to collect certain information from you to prove your identity, such as your driver’s licence, Medicare card or passport details (AML ID Information)); and

Disclosure of your personal information overseas
AML ID Information collected for the purposes of verifying your identity (as described above) may be disclosed by our third party identity service providers to external data sources located overseas (including credit reporting agencies) in order to match your AML ID Information with identification information on their databases. These external data sources will generally be located in New Zealand which has substantially similar privacy laws or schemes to Australia.

In relation to personal information that is collected for purposes unrelated to AML Laws, Computershare may need to disclose your information to service providers located overseas. For the most part, these service providers are related entities of Computershare which perform a range of technology functions for Computershare including data storage, back-up services and IT support. These entities are generally located in Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States of America. Computershare may also disclose your personal information to third party service providers located in the Philippines for call centre services and India for transaction processing services. Computershare works with these entities to ensure that all personal information we provide to them is handled by them in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles.
