Privacy Policy
At AMOND LEGAL, we understand the importance of your privacy and recognize the provisions of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), and apply its principles in the collection, use, and storage of private information.
By using or accessing the AMOND LEGAL website, you signify that you agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to this Privacy Policy, you cannot access or otherwise use our service, or participate in our services.
This policy outlines:
- The information we collect and why it is collected;
- How we use that information;
- How we share that information; and
- The choices we offer.
Collection of your personal information
There are many aspects of the site which can be viewed without providing personal information, however, if you submit information via the 'AMOND LEGAL – Get In Touch' form, you are required to submit some personal information, such as:
- Your name;
- Your contact information (including your telephone number and email address);
- Your IP address; and
- Other personal information.
We may also collect information about how you use our website and the websites you came to us from. Additionally, we collect technical information about your device or browser when you use our website, including geolocation data to determine what country you are accessing our website from, your internet protocol (IP) address, device ID, browser type and version, and time zone setting, which may, in some circumstances, be personal data.
We may also receive personal data directly from you or from various third parties and public sources, including from social media channels (if you interact with us through those channels), or other third parties.
Sharing of your personal information
We may occasionally hire other businesses and/or individuals to provide services on our behalf, such as administrative tasks (e.g., photocopying) or delivery services. Those companies/businesses will be permitted to obtain only the personal information they need to deliver the services they are engaged to perform. AMOND LEGAL takes reasonable steps to ensure that these organizations are bound by confidentiality and privacy obligations in relation to the protection of your personal information.
How We Protect Your Data
As described in this Privacy Policy, we may in some instances disclose your personal data to third parties. Where we do, we require that the third party have appropriate technical and organizational measures in place to protect your personal data. However, in some instances, we may be compelled by law to disclose your personal data to a third party and have limited control over how it is protected by that party.
Your personal data may be processed outside Australia. Where your personal data is transferred outside Australia, we require appropriate safeguards to be in place.
Use of your personal information
For each visitor to reach the site, we may collect non-personally identifiable information, including but not limited to browser type, version and language, operating system, pages viewed while browsing the site, page access times, and referring website addresses. This collected information is used solely internally for the purpose of gauging visitor traffic, trends, and to assist us in delivering useful content.
From time to time, we may use customer information for new, unanticipated uses not previously disclosed in this privacy notice. If our information practices change at some time in the future, we may use the data collected for these new purposes.
Information We Collect
As you navigate through our website, we may use automatic data collection technologies including Google Analytics to collect certain information about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns. This generally includes information about your location, your traffic patterns through our website, and any communications between your computer and our website.
The information we collect is used for statistical data and will not include personal information. We use this data to improve our website and services. To the extent that you voluntarily provide personal information to us, our systems will associate the automatically collected information with your personal information.
Communicating with you
We use the personal and contact information you provide and copies of your communications with us as part of our relationship with you.
We may also use the personal and contact information you have provided to ask you to participate in surveys and to improve our services and website based on those results.
Children
Our website is not intended for children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Children should not provide any information about themselves to us, including their name, address, telephone number, or email address. If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child without parental or guardian consent, we will delete that information.
Use of Cookies and Pixels
Our website uses cookies and server logs to collect information about how our site is used. Information gathered may include the date and time of visits, the pages viewed, time spent on our site, the websites visited just before and after our site, and your IP address.
AMOND LEGAL reserves the right to use social media pixels to track visitors to outside websites in compliance with the policies of various social media sites.
Email Information
If you choose to correspond with us via email, we may retain the content of your messages together with your email address and our responses. We provide the same protections for these electronic communications as we do for information received online, mail, and telephone.
Email Policies
We are committed to keeping your email address confidential. We do not sell, rent, or lease our subscription lists to third parties and will not disclose your email address to third parties except as provided in this Privacy Policy.
All emails sent from AMOND LEGAL will clearly state who the email is from and provide clear information on how to contact the sender.
Security
The security of your personally identifiable information is important to us. We use reasonable efforts to protect your information from unauthorized access. However, due to the open nature of the internet, we cannot guarantee that your personally identifiable information will be completely secure from third-party access. To mitigate this risk, we have put in place reasonable physical, electronic, and administrative procedures to safeguard your information. Only employees who need to access your information to perform their duties are authorized to do so.
