our privacy policy
Our approach
batallion legal recognises the importance of your privacy and understands your concerns about the security of your personal information. We are committed to protecting your personal information. Our privacy policy below sets out how we manage your personal information and safeguard your privacy.
The National Privacy Principles
As a private sector organisation in Australia, we must comply with the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (NPPs).
Collecting personal information about you
We only collect personal information that is necessary for us to perform our functions. The types of personal information we collect and hold depends on the services you request from us. The personal information may include
- information you give us when you instruct us - such as when you respond to an invitation to attend a seminar. This information will include your name, address and contact details
- information about individuals we collect in the course of acting for clients
- communications between us and you.
Collection of anonymous information
As most websites do, we track usage patterns on our website on an anonymous basis. Your identity cannot reasonably be determined from this information. Each time you visit our website a web server makes a record of your visit. Specifically, it records
- your internet provider
- the date and time of your visit
- the pages you accessed and the documents you downloaded
- the search items you entered
Contracting out services and disclosures
We may disclose your personal information to our service entities and contract out some of our functions to external service providers. We may disclose your personal information to those external service providers but only so that they can provide the services that we have contracted out to them.
Emails you receive from us regarding news, articles and seminars
How we collect personal information from you
If you provide us with your email address, we may send you emails containing batallion legal articles or seminar invitations.
Access to your personal information
In most cases, you can gain access to the personal information we hold about you. We will handle requests for access to your personal information in accordance with the NPPs. We encourage all requests for access to your personal information to be directed to privacy@batallion.com.au or by writing to us.
If you would like more information about the way we manage personal information that we hold about you, or are concerned that we may have breached your privacy and wish to make a complaint, please email us at privacy@batallion.com.au or write to us.
