This policy applies to TITAN EQUITY FUNDS, its corporate authorised representatives, and all its directors and representatives (we, our or us). This document explains our policy in relation to the collection and management of personal information we collect from individuals. The Privacy Act 1988 requires us to handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APP).

Collection of information – what is collected and why we collect it

Personal information means information, or an opinion about, an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable: whether the information or opinion is true or not and whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.

We are an Australian Consultancy Services. When we provide you with financial services, we may be required by the Corporations Act 2001, to obtain certain personal information about you, including, but not limited to, your:

• Name, date of birth, contact details and tax file number
• Employment details and employment history
• Financial details, including your needs and objectives
• Details of your investment preferences and attitude or tolerance to investment and financial risk
• Information about your family commitments and social security eligibility

Sensitive information

We may also need to collect sensitive information if we organise insurance covers for you. Sensitive information includes health information, racial information, and genetic information. We will only collect sensitive information that is reasonably necessary for us to perform our functions or activities in advising you, acting for you and dealing with you and consented to by you.

How is information collected?

We collect personal and sensitive information in a number of ways, including directly from you (meetings, phone, email, forms, websites), via cookies on our website, and indirectly from fund managers, superannuation funds, life insurance companies and other product issuers once you have authorised us to obtain such information.

Are you obliged to provide us with personal information?

You are not required to provide us with the information that we request. However, where you choose not to provide us with the information we request, we may not be able to provide you with the services that you have requested from us.

Use of personal information

We use your personal information for the primary purpose for which the information was obtained (provision of financial services), and secondary purposes such as identifying other products and services that may interest you, sharing information with authorised representatives, quality control, and managing business operations.

Disclosure of personal information

With your consent, we may disclose your personal information to our representatives, product issuers, parties necessary to provide services, external service providers, related entities, and prospective acquirers of our business, as well as government and regulatory authorities as required by law.

Cross-border disclosure of information

We may transfer personal information to related entities or external service providers in locations outside of Australia in the course of storing and using that information. We take steps to ensure protections consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Storage and security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. If you cease to be a client, personal information will be maintained for not less than 7 years as required.

Notifiable data breaches

We are required to notify you and the Information Commissioner of an eligible data breach where unauthorised access, disclosure or loss of personal information is likely to result in serious harm.

Access and correction

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you. We will respond within a reasonable period. We will take reasonable steps to ensure information is accurate, up-to-date, complete and relevant.

Complaints

If you believe that we have breached the APP, you may complain to our Privacy Officer. Complaints will be investigated and responded to within 30 days. You may also contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
