Why do we need your personal information?
We collect your personal information to assist us in providing the best possible financial services to you. As part of providing our services to you, we may collect your personal information to give you the option of receiving our updates and publications.
What personal information do we collect and hold?
The types of information that we collect and hold about you could include:
- ID information such as your name, postal or email address, telephone numbers, and date of birth;
- other contact details such as social media handles;
- financial details such as your tax file number; and
- other information we think is necessary.
When the law authorises or requires us to collect information
We may collect information about you because we are required or authorised by law to collect it. There are laws which require us to collect personal information. For example, we require personal information to verify your identity under Australian Anti-Money Laundering law.
What information do we collect and how do we use it?
Personal information is information that identifies an individual. During the provision of our services, we will ask you for personal information when we assist you with your finance. We use the information you provide to advise about and assist with your credit needs. We only provide your information to the companies with whom you choose to deal (and their representatives). A failure to provide your personal information may affect our ability to assist you.
We also use your information to send you requested product information and to enable us to manage your ongoing relationship with us e.g. invoicing. We may do so by mail or electronically unless you tell us that you do not wish to receive electronic communications.
We may also use your information internally to help us improve our services and help resolve any problems.
What if you don’t provide some information to us?
If you don’t provide us with full information, we can’t properly advise or assist you with your credit needs.
Who do we disclose your personal information to?
We disclose your personal information for the purposes for which we collect it. That is, to provide financial services to you. In providing our services, we may disclose your information to third parties that we engage to perform administrative or other services. Such disclosure is always on a confidential basis. We may also disclose your information where it is necessary in the handling of any of your financial work, with your consent, or if disclosure is required by law.
Security of your personal information
Nexus takes all reasonable steps to ensure that the personal information that we hold is protected against misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We hold personal information in both hard copy and electronic forms in secure databases on secure premises, accessible only to authorised staff.
We ensure that your information is safe by applying appropriate security measures and procedures, including requiring all staff to maintain strict confidentiality of client information, computer and mobile device passwords, as well as remote device-wipe capabilities.
We keep personal information only for as long as is reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or to comply with any applicable legal or ethical reporting or document retention requirements.
Can you have access to the personal information we hold about you?
You have a right to access the personal information we collect and hold about you. Upon receipt of your written request and enough information to allow us to identify the information, we will disclose to you the personal information we hold about you. We will also correct, amend or delete any personal information that we agree is inaccurate.
Can we use your information for marketing our products and services?
We may use or disclose your personal information to let you know about other products or services we or a third party make available and that may be of interest to you.
We will always let you know that you can opt out from receiving marketing offers.
With your consent, we may disclose your personal information to third parties for the purpose of connecting you with other businesses or customers. You can ask us not to do this at any time. We won’t sell your personal information to any organisation.
Your consent
By asking us to assist with your credit needs, you consent to the collection and use of the information you have provided to us for the purposes described above.
