Privacy Policy

Privacy 

Ceda GRC Legal Pty Ltd (ACN 692 879 404), trading as CGRC Legal, treats your personal information as confidential. 

We handle personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Where information relates to a client matter, it is also protected by the duty of confidentiality owed by an Australian legal practitioner and, where applicable, by legal professional privilege. 

What we collect.  

On this website, only what you choose to provide is collected; this includes your name, contact details, and the content of your enquiry. We also collect anonymous site statistics that do not identify you. In the course of an engagement, we collect the information necessary for that engagement and nothing beyond its defined scope. 

Identity Verification 

We do not provide designated services under the AML/CTF Act. We verify clients' identities as a matter of professional practice and may collect information about the source of funds and the beneficial ownership of entities where relevant to an engagement. 

Why we collect it.  

To respond to your enquiry, to provide legal services, to assess conflicts of interest, and to meet our professional and regulatory obligations. You are not obliged to provide personal information, but without it we may be unable to respond or to act. 

Your Consent.  

You do not have to provide personal information to browse this site. By submitting an enquiry through this website, or by providing personal information to us, you consent to us collecting, holding, using and disclosing that information for the purposes described on this page and in our full Privacy Policy. 

Where you provide information about another person, you confirm that you are entitled to do so and that they are aware of this page. 

You may withdraw your consent at any time by writing to our Privacy Officer. Withdrawal takes effect from the date we receive it and does not affect anything already done, or information we are required to retain by law or by our professional obligations. 

Who we share it with.  

We do not sell personal information and do not disclose it to anyone else for marketing purposes. We may share it with secure service providers, with Counsel or experts engaged on a matter, with our professional indemnity insurer, and where required by law. 

How we hold it.  

In secure systems, with access to legal files restricted to authorised staff only. Client records are kept for at least seven years after a matter ends.  

Your rights.  

You can ask us for access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it. We may decline access in limited circumstances, for example, where it would breach the confidentiality owed to another client, and we will explain why. 

Cookies.  

This site may use cookies to recognise returning visitors and manage security. You can configure your browser to refuse them. 

Concerns.  

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us by submitting a written request to the contact address on the website. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au or 1300 363 992.
