At AM Law & Partners, we are committed to protecting your privacy and handling your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (“Privacy Act”) and the Australian Privacy Principles (“APPs”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and store your personal information and how you can access or correct it.

Personal information refers to information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is true or not and whether it is recorded in a material form or not. This may include your name, contact details, and any other information that can reasonably identify you.

We may collect personal information when you interact with us, such as when you contact us via email or phone, submit an enquiry through our website, sign up for our services or newsletters, engage with us on social media, or otherwise provide information to us in the course of our operations. We may also collect certain technical data about your visit to our website, including your IP address, browser type, pages visited, and interactions with our website. This data is often collected through cookies and similar technologies to help us improve your experience and better understand user behaviour.

We collect personal information to provide our services to you, respond to your enquiries, deliver updates or newsletters where you have opted in, improve our website and service offerings, and meet our legal obligations. We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our business activities and use it for the purpose for which it was collected or for a related purpose that you would reasonably expect.

We may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers who assist us with functions such as website hosting, email distribution, IT support, or marketing services. These third parties are engaged on the basis that they comply with the Privacy Act and handle personal information appropriately. We may also disclose your information where required or authorised by law. We do not sell or rent your personal information to any third party.

We take reasonable steps to ensure the security of personal information we hold, including protection against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. However, the internet is not always a secure environment, and we cannot guarantee the security of any information transmitted to us online. If personal information is no longer needed for any purpose for which it may be lawfully used or disclosed, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify the information, unless we are required by law to retain it.

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request that it be corrected if it is inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. To make such a request, please contact us using the details provided below. We may need to verify your identity before providing access, and in some cases, we may charge a reasonable fee to cover administrative costs.

In some instances, your personal information may be disclosed or stored in countries outside Australia, such as where we use international service providers. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that the overseas recipient does not breach the APPs or is otherwise subject to a law or binding scheme that offers similar protection.

Our website may use cookies and other technologies to enhance your user experience. You may configure your browser to refuse cookies; however, this may limit the functionality of certain parts of the website. Our website may also contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites and recommend that you review the privacy policies of any external sites you visit.

If you have a question or concern about how we handle your personal information, you are encouraged to contact us using the details below. We take privacy concerns seriously and will respond promptly to your query. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may refer your complaint to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). More information can be found at www.oaic.gov.au.
