JM Financial Group Ltd (JMFG) is legally bound by the National Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) as amended (Privacy Act). We are committed to a culture that respects the privacy of individuals through ensuring the security of personal information about them.

In providing services to you, JMFG will from time to time collect personal information from you in order to provide you with a range of financial services. Only information that is necessary as prescribed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and relevant ASIC requirements, in connection with the services which we offer will be collected. In order to fulfil our obligations under the Privacy Act, the necessary security measures have been put in place to minimise the risk of unauthorised access to or loss of personal information.

In the course of providing services to you, we may:

• use the information for the purposes of rendering services and advice to you, such as introducing new products or services to you, or as consented to by you
• share the information with companies related to JMFG
• disclose information to the following parties:

  • clearing houses
  • our financiers
  • your margin lender and custodian of securities
  • credit reference agencies
  • other agents appointed by us to provide services either to you on our behalf or to us, such as our professional advisers

The Privacy Act is not intended to interfere with legal obligations to disclose information for law enforcement and regulatory purposes. Accordingly, we will cooperate with all law enforcement bodies in providing information when required.

In each of the above situations, only information that is necessary for each situation would be disclosed.

You can request to see your personal information maintained at our offices by making a written request to our Compliance Officer. We would welcome any changes to your details so as to keep our records up-to-date.

Please contact our Compliance Officer if you would like more information about the way we handle your personal information.
