Collection of Information

Types of information collected

We may collect and hold personal information about you, that is, information that can identify you, such as your name, address, other contact details and other information relevant to providing you with the services you are, or someone else you know is, seeking.

Generally, we will collect and use your personal information for one or more of the following reasons:

undertaking various activities required by law;
providing you with information about other services that we, our related entities and other organisations that we have affiliations with, offers that may be of interest to you;
providing you with promotional information about us, our related entities and other organisations that we have affiliations with;

Personal information will generally be collected directly from you through the use of any of our standard forms, over the internet, via email or through a telephone conversation with you.
