Privacy Policy

The Anumis Legal Privacy Policy Effective from 19 March 2019

1. Introduction

Anumis Legal (ABN 54 600 502 323) (weus or our) has adopted this Privacy Policy, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (APPs), to outline how we deal with “personal information”, which is information about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be ascertained, from that information (Personal Information).

Most of the Personal Information that we collect is collected in conjunction with the legal services that Anumis Legal provides to its clients (Services).

2. The kinds of Personal Information that we collect and hold

For the purpose of conducting our business and providing the Services, we may collect the following categories of Personal Information about individuals:

(a) (Identity Information) name, signature, location, website address, date of birth, nationality, license & registration details, bank account details, family details, employment details, educational qualifications and third-party usernames;

(b) (Contact Information) email address, social media profiles, telephone & fax number, third-party usernames, residential, business and postal addresses;

(c) (Finance Information) information and records about individuals’ finances;

(d) (Internet Data) Internet Protocol or “IP address”, referring web site addresses, browser type, operating system, domain name, access times and other data typically collected by analytics services like Google Analytics; and

(e) (Business Information) information about individuals’ business or projects, including information on professional affiliations or services offered.

The APPs categorize certain types of Personal Information as “sensitive information” (Sensitive Information). Included in this category is health information. We may collect and share between us sensitive information from individuals about their health, health services or wishes regarding health care. It is sometimes necessary for us to collect this information for the purposes of estate planning.

If an individual engages Anumis Legal to provide estate planning legal services, they consent to our collection, use and disclosure of this health information for the purpose of providing our legal services, in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

3. How we collect Personal Information

4. How we hold Personal Information

We hold and store Personal Information using:

(a) (Storage Services) third party data storage services, which are businesses that professionally manage information technology infrastructure;

(b) (Software Services) third party application providers, where we use an application for the purposes of our business and store data in association with that application on infrastructure provided by those third party application providers;

(c) (Business Devices) devices operated by employees, contractors or agents of our business including computers and thumb drives; and

(d) (Paper Files) printed paper and archival storage services.

We may combine or link Personal Information about you that we collect on one occasion, with Personal Information about you that we collect on other occasions.

We and our employees, contractors and other authorised representatives will take all reasonable precautions to protect Personal Information from unauthorised access. This includes appropriately securing our physical facilities and electronic networks.

We secure Personal Information that we collect by:

(e) (Credentials) using authentication credentials for each portion of the data storage infrastructure that we control in accordance with industry or accepted practice;

(f) (Passwords) using software to generate passwords that are less vulnerable to “brute force” attacks;

(g) (Session Expiry) Forcing time-out of authentication sessions and requiring re-authentication to minimise risk associated with idle connections;

(h) (Firewalls) Using both server and network firewalls to control access points in and out of the data storage infrastructure; and

(i) (Reputable Vendors) ensuring that the third party providers holding data and information on our behalf are reputable vendors taking reasonable steps to secure the information.

By using any part of the Services, individuals acknowledge that the security of online transactions and the security of communications sent by electronic means or by post cannot be guaranteed. Individuals provide information, including Personal Information, to us via the Services at their own risk. We cannot accept responsibility for misuse or loss of, or unauthorised access to, Personal Information where the security of information is not within our control.

By using any part of the Services, individuals acknowledge that we are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of any third party (including third parties that we are permitted to disclose or transfer Personal Information to in accordance with the Privacy Policy or any applicable laws). The collection and use of Personal Information by such third parties may be subject to separate privacy and security policies. Individuals acknowledge also that neither of us is responsible for the privacy or security practices of the other.

For example, we may use cookies and log information to ascertain the number of unique visitors to our website, whether or not those visitors are repeat visitors, and the source of the visits.

6. Sharing Personal Information

We share, use and disclose Personal Information so that we can represent our client’s interests in litigation, and in commercial dealings. For example, our clients’ personal information would be included on court documents, pleadings, on contracts and in formal and informal legal correspondence.

We use Outlook email to manage our practice. It is not usual for these organisations to access information we manage on their platforms. The web servers for these apps are located overseas.

We also disclose Personal Information to companies that we work with to provide us with administration, secretarial and data processing services, such as Actionstep (www.actionstep.com). Such processing is designed to make our Services more efficient. For information on disclosures to overseas recipients, see below.
