We have updated our Privacy Policy and Version 3 effective from 21 July 2023 is available in the link below.
Bennett & Philp is committed to protecting your privacy and personal information when you deal with us.
Apart from Bennett & Philp’s important and general obligations as a legal service provider to maintain solicitor-client confidentiality and legal professional privilege, Bennett & Philp has privacy policies which support and comply with the Commonwealth legislation that deals with how businesses may collect, hold and use personal information about individuals. That legislation is the Privacy Act 1988 (the “Act”) and the Australian Privacy Principles introduced by that Act. Bennett & Philp, as required by the Act (particularly Part IIIA) and the associated Australian Privacy Principles, has 2 privacy policies. One is Bennett & Philp’s Australian Privacy Principles Privacy Policy (“APP Privacy Policy”) which is Bennett & Philp’s general privacy policy in respect of Bennett & Philp’s general day to day involvement with the public and Bennett & Philp’s clients. Insofar as Bennett & Philp may also be a credit provider within the definition of “credit provider” at section 6G of the Act, Bennett & Philp also has a Credit Reporting Privacy Policy. Insofar as Bennett & Philp is a credit provider, it is also required to have a Credit Reporting Privacy Policy under Part IIIA of the Privacy Act.
Both the APP Privacy Policy and Credit Reporting Privacy Policy can be viewed by clicking on the links at the bottom of this statement.
