In this Privacy Policy and Disclosure Statement the expressions "MIR", "we", "us" and "our" are references to MIR Investment Management Pty. Ltd. ABN 47 104 642 613 and those Australian registered bodies corporate related to it.

We are subject to the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

This Privacy Policy and Disclosure Statement explains in general terms how we protect the privacy of your personal information under the National Privacy Principles ("NPPs") in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). It also sets out the matters that we are required to disclose to individuals under NPPs 1.3 and 1.5. The principles set out in this document apply to any personal information you provide to us via our web site or under any agreement or arrangement and to information which we might collect about you from other sources.

This Privacy Policy and Disclosure Statement does not apply to acts and practices of a MIR entity which relate directly to the employee records of the MIR entity's current and former employees.

How we collect personal information

We generally collect your personal information directly from you. For example, we may collect personal information about you when you deal with us over the telephone, send us correspondence (whether by letter, fax or email) or contact us through this web site, subscribe electronically to our [web site / publications] or when you have contact with us in person.

Generally, the type of personal information we collect about you includes your name, mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address. It may also include the organisation for which you work, your position in the organisation and the dealings we have had with you during your employment with that organisation. In certain circumstances, we may also collect sensitive information about you such as information about membership of a professional or trade association or membership of a trade union.

There may be occasions when we need to source personal information about you from a third party. For example, we may collect personal information from a company for whom you work, other organisations with whom you have any dealings, a recruitment agency, a credit-reporting agency, an information service provider or from a publicly maintained record.

We may also collect web site visitors' contact information (like their e-mail addresses). We utilise "cookies" which enable us to monitor traffic patterns and to serve you more efficiently if you revisit the site. A cookie does not identify you personally but it does identify your computer. You can set your browser to notify you when you receive a cookie and this will provide you with an opportunity to either accept or reject it in each instance.

Our Disclosure Statement

MIR collects personal information for the following purposes:

  • to provide you or your organisation with information about our product offerings;
  • to service our relationship with you, including providing you with information from time to time about your investments;
  • to consider making offers of employment or for employment purposes;
  • to receive services from you or the organisation which employs you; and
  • to advise you of new investment developments and to undertake other marketing activities.

If you do not provide the information requested, we may not be able either to provide you with an appropriate level of service or to fulfil another applicable purpose of collection.

In some circumstances, we collect personal information about you from a third party source. If we collect personal information about you in this way, we will take reasonable steps to contact you and ensure that you are aware of the purposes for which we are collecting your personal information and the organisations to which we might disclose your personal information.

We may disclose your personal information to related bodies corporate, your consultant, custodian , asset consultant, broker, or financial adviser on your behalf or to external professional service providers such as auditors, accountants or lawyers.

How we use or disclose your personal information

We will use and disclose personal information for the primary purpose for which it was collected. We may also use and disclose personal information for purposes related or ancillary to the main reasons we collect it, such as provision of information concerning investment developments and other services offered by us. We do not disclose personal information we collect to third parties for the purpose of allowing them to direct market their products and services. We engage third party contractors to perform services for us which involves the contractor handling personal information we hold. In these situations, we prohibit the third party contractor from using personal information about you except for the specific purpose for which we supply it.

Other people's information which you provide to us

If you provide personal information to us about someone else (such as one of your directors or employees or someone with whom you have dealings) you must ensure that you are entitled to disclose that information to us and that, without us taking any further steps required by privacy laws, we may collect, use and disclose such information for the purposes described above. For example, you should take reasonable steps to ensure the individual concerned is aware of the various matters detailed in this Privacy Policy and Disclosure Statement as those matters relate to that individual, including our identity, how to contact us, our purposes of collection, our information disclosure practices, the individual's right to obtain access to the information and the consequences for the individual if the information is not provided.

Our duty of confidentiality and obligations of non-disclosure

MIR may be subject to obligations of non-disclosure in respect of personal information which it holds arising from the fiduciary duties it owes its clients as well as general duties of confidentiality owed to its clients.

Gaining access to information we hold about you

We will, on request, provide you with access to the personal information we hold about you unless there is an exception that applies under the Privacy Act such as where we have a legal duty of confidentiality.

Your request to obtain access will be dealt with in a reasonable time. MIR may recover from you its reasonable cost of providing you with access.

If we refuse to provide you with access to the information, we will provide you with reasons for the refusal and inform you of any exceptions relied upon under the Privacy Act.

Keeping your personal information up-to-date

We take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete, and up-to-date whenever we collect or use it.

If any of the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date, please contact us immediately and we will take reasonable steps to correct this information or, if necessary, we will discuss alternative action with you.
