Your rights to privacy
IS Financial Planning Pty Ltd trading as Intrust360° understands
the importance of protecting your right to privacy and have
therefore prepared this statement to help you understand how we aim
to protect the privacy of your personal information.
In this document we outline what details we keep about you and
why we need these details. Please note that although we refer to
"Intrsut360°" throughout the document, generally it is HN Financial
Partners Pty Ltd that collects and uses your details on our behalf.
HN Financial Partners Pty Ltd is the company that holds the
Australian Financial Services license that Intrsut360° operates
under.
The Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000 amends the
Privacy Act (from 21 December 2001) to include laws that regulate
the way private organisations like Intrust360° handle personal
information, including very sensitive information such as health
details.
The Act contains 10 National Privacy Principles that regulate,
among other things, how organisations collect, store and protect
the quality of personal information. They specify how these
organisations should use and share personal information with other
organisations. The National Privacy Principles form part of all our
procedures and policies and the way our accounts are
administered.
There is a summary of the National Privacy Principles below.
