Privacy Policy

Australian Investment Exchange Ltd (AUSIEX) is committed to addressing the concerns of clients. This has led to us creating a Privacy policy to inform clients of how we endeavour to keep their information secure and in what manner we use their personal information.

We are bound by the National Privacy Principles, which form part of the Privacy Act, 1988. This determines the ways in which we must treat personal information.

This policy covers personal information that may be gathered via the Internet or over the telephone.

What Personal Information is Collected?

In your dealing with us, we may collect personal information about you. Personal information is information or opinion about an individual whose identity is apparent, or can reasonably be determined, from the information or opinion.

The types of personal information that we collect will depend on the nature of your dealings with us.

Current Clients

We may collect personal information about you when you open an account with us or through business dealings. The nature of personal information collected and maintained by us generally comprises name, address, age group, contact details (including phone, fax and e-mail), the name of your bank and your bank account number and your tax file number (if you choose to provide it to us). For training and compliance purposes we record and randomly monitor telephone calls to our Customer Service Officers.

This information is needed in order to provide customers with our products and services. We may collect other personal information from you such as your date of birth and occupation in order to help us establish if you may require assistance to understand how to use our systems and to ensure the identity of account holders.

If you request information from us (eg by using our website or call centre), we may collect your contact details, including your name, postal and email addresses and your telephone and fax numbers.

Business Contacts

We may collect contact information from people with whom we do business (eg contact people in regulatory bodies, external service providers and the investment industry). If you are a "business contact" of ours, we may collect business contact information about you including your name, your position and the organisation you work for, your business telephone and fax number and your email address.

If you are concerned about receiving cookies you can enable your web browser program to notify you when it is receiving a cookie. This gives you the choice of accepting or rejecting any cookie.

Use of Personal Information

If you are a customer, the personal information collected by us is used for the purposes of establishing, administering, operating, and maintaining your account with us. In addition, sometimes we will use personal information to establish a bank account for settlements relating to your trading account, and to create a CHESS Holder Identification Number.

If we do not collect this information from you we will not be able to provide you with our products and services.

Marketing Our Products and Services

It is our practice to use your personal information to let you know about developments and products that we offer that may better serve your financial and e-commerce needs or promotions or other opportunities in which you may be interested. We assume we have your consent to use service providers to assist with this (such as mail services or advertising agencies), unless you tell us otherwise.

Protecting Your Personal Information

We store your personal information in different ways, which include both paper and electronic documents. We have a number of measures in place to maintain the security of this information.

We maintain strict procedures and standards to try and take all possible measures to prevent inappropriate use and access to your personal information.

We try to keep accurate information and records about our client's personal information.

Accurate information helps us to offer you the best service possible. To assist us with this, you should inform us of any changes to your personal records (e.g. change of telephone number or address) as soon as possible.

In addition, if any errors are found in the data that we are keeping please inform us so that we can correct this.
