We recognise the importance of protecting your privacy and are committed to safeguarding any personal information we hold about you. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have. We encourage you to read this document carefully. If you don't agree with any terms in this Privacy Policy, please stop using our website and services.
This Privacy Policy covers personal information collected through the Quintet Partners website or by other means. "Personal information" means information that identifies you, such as your name, contact details, online identifiers (including IP addresses), or financial information.
Legal Framework
Quintet Partners complies with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012.
For individuals in the European Union, we also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when collecting and processing your personal information.
For GDPR purposes, Quintet Partners Group Pty Ltd is the "data controller" of all personal information collected by our organisation.
