Moore Lawyers is committed to protecting the privacy and confidentiality of personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.
Moore Lawyers may collect personal information from clients and prospective clients, including contact details, identification information, financial and property details, and information relevant to legal matters. We also collect limited personal information from website users who submit enquiries, and from employees, contractors and professional contacts as required for business and legal purposes.
We collect personal information directly from individuals through meetings, correspondence, telephone calls, emails and our website. In some circumstances, we may collect information from third parties such as courts, other legal practitioners, government agencies, barristers, experts or service providers, where authorised or required by law.
Personal information is collected to communicate with prospective clients, provide legal advice and services (if that client engages our services), manage client relationships and comply with legal and professional obligations. We only use personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, or for a related purpose that would reasonably be expected, unless otherwise required or permitted by law.
Moore Lawyers may disclose personal information to courts, tribunals, barristers, expert witnesses, service providers and regulatory authorities where necessary to provide legal services or to comply with legal obligations. We take reasonable steps to ensure that any third parties who receive personal information handle it appropriately and confidentially.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. This includes secure electronic systems, restricted access to files and confidentiality obligations for staff and contractors. When personal information is no longer required, it is securely destroyed or de-identified where lawful and appropriate.
Our website may use cookies and analytics tools to help us understand how the website is used and to improve functionality. Cookies do not identify users personally. You can manage cookie settings through your internet browser.
Individuals may request access to personal information held by Moore Lawyers and request correction if the information is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date. Requests should be made in writing, and we will respond in accordance with the Privacy Act.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, including legal, regulatory and professional obligations applicable to legal practitioners.
This Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time. The current version will always be available on our website.
