What are the purposes for which we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information?

We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, related purposes that you would reasonably expect, and as permitted or required by law.

Such purposes include:

  • responding to your inquiries about the supply of our services;
  • complying with our obligations under any contract with you or applicable law;
  • processing your survey or questionnaire responses for the purpose notified in the survey or questionnaire (if you have chosen to participate in such);
  • for market research so that we can better understand the needs of our current and future customers and tailor our future products and services accordingly;
  • providing you with marketing information regarding products and services (of ours or a third party) which we believe may be of interest to you, but only if you have not opted out of receiving such information;
  • providing you with information (such as educational material and material on events and programs) about investment opportunities;

  • where otherwise required or permitted by law.

How do you obtain access and seek correction?

Generally, we will provide you with access to any information we hold about you on request. In limited circumstances, however, access may be refused if required or permitted by law. For example, you may be refused access to your personal information:

  • where there are anticipated or existing legal proceedings and that information could not be subject to a process of discovery;
  • where we consider that providing access poses a serious threat to life, health or safety; or
  • where access may have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of other individuals.

If after you make a request, we refuse to provide you access to your personal information, we will explain why in writing.

We do not charge an application fee to access your personal information, but may charge a reasonable fee for giving you access, including photocopying costs.
