Privacy Policy

Your personal information is important to us

Jonas and Associates recognise the importance of your privacy, and that you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used. We know that providing personal information is an act of trust and we take that seriously. Unless you directly give us consent to do otherwise, Jonas and Associates will only collect and use your personal information as set out below.

Jonas and Associates‘s privacy policy is intended to represent industry best practice and comply fully with the Privacy Act 1988.

Information about you that is collected through our website

Jonas and Associates will not collect or monitor any personal information about you without your consent. The only personal information we collect is what you tell us about yourself and information about how you use our website, for example by what pages you visit on our site and your IP address. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that contact. The advantage of giving this information is that it allows us to tailor your experience of our website to your personal interests. Any further collection of your personal information than that explained here will only occur with your consent.

Using and disclosing your personal information

Your personal information is confidential. Our purpose in collecting information about you is to provide you with a better website experience with content that is more relevant to your interests. Jonas and Associates will not use or disclose any information about you without your consent, unless:

• Required by law;
• To implement our terms of service;
• To protect the rights, property or personal safety of another Jonas and Associates client, any member of the public, Jonas and Associates team member or the company itself; or
• The assets and operations of the Company are transferred to another party as a going concern.

 

Disclosing your personal information

Jonas and Associates and its affiliates recognise the trust you place in us when you give us personal information. In order to operate the website or deliver a service we may sometimes share your personal information with a service partner. We will not otherwise disclose your personal information to other companies without your explicit consent.

We will not ‘spam’ you.

We may contact you at the email or other address(es) that you provide to us in order to:

• Provide you with updated information about our services or our website; or
• Provide you with other information about products and services that you may find useful.

 

We will not send you ‘spam’ (promotional information) without first asking you whether you wish to have promotional information sent to you. If you are receiving promotional information from Jonas and Associates, such as our email newsletters, and no longer wish to receive this information you need to contact us so we can remove you from the mailing list. An unsubscribe option can be found in the footer of our email newsletters notifications.

Changing and deleting the information we have about you

If at any time you wish to change personal information that is inaccurate or out-of-date, please contact us and we will amend this record. If you wish to have your personal information deleted, please let us know and we will take all reasonable steps to delete it unless we need to keep it for legal reasons.

Storage and security of your personal information

Jonas and Associates will endeavour to take all reasonable steps to keep secure any information that we hold about you, and to keep this information accurate and up-to-date. Information collected through your use of this website is stored on secure servers that are protected in controlled facilities. We require our employees and data processors to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by Jonas and Associates. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed to be 100% secure, so we cannot give an absolute assurance that the information you provide to us will be secure at all times. Jonas and Associates will not be held responsible for events arising from unauthorised access to your personal information.

Please note also that Jonas and Associates may use overseas facilities to process or back up information collected through this website. As a result, we may transfer your personal information to our overseas facilities for storage. However, this does not change any of our commitments to safeguard your privacy.

Jonas and Associates provides links to websites outside of the Jonas and Associates service. These linked sites are not under the control of Jonas and Associates and we are not responsible for the conduct of companies, organisations or government agencies linked via our website. Before disclosing your personal information on any other website, we advise you to examine the Terms and Conditions of those websites.

If Jonas and Associates becomes aware of any ongoing concerns or problems with our website, we will take these issues seriously and work to address these concerns. If you have any further queries relating to our Privacy Policy, or you have a problem or complaint, please contact us.
