Privacy Policy

Who this covers

This Privacy Policy explains how Jurisa Legal Pty Ltd (Jurisa Legal, the firm, I) collects, holds, uses and discloses personal information, and how the firm complies with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

What is collected

Only personal information reasonably necessary for the functions of a legal practice. That typically includes:

• contact and identity details such as name, organisation, role, email address and telephone number;
• information you provide when you enquire about the firm or give instructions on a matter;
• information needed to meet client identification, conflict checking and anti money laundering obligations;
• billing and payment information; and
• basic technical information about your visit to this website, such as the pages you view.

How it is collected

Directly from you wherever possible, including when you email, call, give instructions or attend a meeting. Information may also be collected from third parties where it is necessary for a matter, such as from other parties to a transaction, public registers or your other advisers.

Why it is used

To provide legal services, to communicate with you, to administer the relationship, to meet professional, regulatory and legal obligations, and to improve the service. If the firm sends occasional updates, you can unsubscribe at any time.

Who it is disclosed to

Personal information may be disclosed to other parties involved in a matter, to courts, tribunals and regulators where required, to professional advisers and insurers, to service providers who support the practice, and to Jurisa Pty Ltd where it is engaged to provide support services on a matter. Service providers are required to protect personal information on terms consistent with this policy.

Overseas disclosure

Some service providers may store or process information outside Australia. Where that occurs, reasonable steps are taken to ensure the recipient handles personal information in a way consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Security and retention

Reasonable steps are taken to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Client files are retained for the period required by professional obligations and applicable law, and personal information is destroyed or de identified when it is no longer needed.

Cookies and this website

Access, correction and complaints

You may ask for access to the personal information held about you, and ask for it to be corrected if it is inaccurate.
