Privacy Policy

To give you appropriate advice, our financial advice specialists will need to ask you about your current financial situation, what you are looking to achieve and other personal information. Without this information, your financial advice specialist may not be able to provide you with advice relevant to your circumstances.

How we manage your personal information

We are grateful for the trust and confidence you have in us to safeguard your privacy. This notification tells you how we collect your information, what we use it for and who we share it with. It also points out some key features of our Privacy Policy.

If you would like more information, please refer to the IOOF Privacy Policy available at www.ioof.com.au/privacy. You can also request a copy by calling our client services team on 1800 221 151 or by writing to:

Collecting and using your personal information

We will collect and use your personal information (which may, if authorised and required, include your sensitive information, such as health information) for a variety of purposes, including to provide you with the financial services you have requested (including answering your requests and complaints, varying products and services and managing your relevant product portfolios) and to contact you about other products and services that may be relevant to you. We may also collect personal information in order to prevent or investigate any fraud or crime, or any suspected fraud or crime.

We’ll collect your personal information from you directly whenever we can. Sometimes we collect your personal information from other sources or third parties such as your Accountant, or other reliable identity verification service providers. We do this only if it’s necessary to do so, for example where:

  • we need information from an insurer about an insurance application you make through us; or
  • at your request, we exchange information with your legal or financial advisers or other representatives.

If we collect information that can be used to identify you, we will take reasonable steps to notify you of that collection.

We may collect information about you because we are required or authorised by law to collect it. There are laws that affect financial institutions, including company and tax law, which require us to collect personal information. For example, we require personal information to verify your identity under Commonwealth Anti-Money Laundering law.

What happens if you don’t provide your information to us?

If you choose not to provide your information to us, we may not be able to:
  • provide you with the product or service you want;
  • manage or administer your product or service;
  • verify your identity or protect against fraud; or
  • let you know about other products or services that might better meet your financial and lifestyle needs.

Protecting your privacy

Protecting your privacy is essential to our business. Your file, containing your profile, personal objectives, financial circumstances and our recommendations, is kept securely.

Disclosing your personal information

We may share your personal information (which may, if authorised and required, include your sensitive information, such as health information) with third parties for the purposes for which we are authorised to use your information.

This may include to the following types of third parties:
  • those involved in providing, managing or administering the products or services you have requested, including other advisers, paraplanners and organisations who work with us, including Godfrey Pembroke and other members of the IOOF Group, depending on the financial services and products you have requested;
  • insurance providers, superannuation trustees and product providers related to the financial services you have requested;
  • professional associations and organisations that help us operate our business, such as those that provide administrative, financial, accounting, insurance, research, legal, strategic advice, auditing, computer or other business services, including our Licensee Godfrey Pembroke and other members of the IOOF Group;
  • your representatives, service providers, or other organisations, such as your accountant, solicitor, tax agent, stockbroker or bank;
  • organisations involved in a business restructure or a transfer of all or part of the assets of our business; and
