The firm
Privacy policy.
This policy explains how Corvian Partners Pty Ltd (ABN 62 687 179 415) (“Corvian”, “the firm”, “we”) handles personal information, with reference to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
1. What we collect
We collect personal information only where reasonably necessary for the firm’s functions:
- Enquiries and engagements. Contact details and professional information you provide when you contact the firm – name, role, organisation, email address, and any contact number you choose to share – together with information needed to screen for conflicts.
- Advisory mandates. Information provided in the course of a mandate, which is additionally governed by the confidentiality terms of the relevant engagement.
- This website. Technical information generated when you visit – IP address, browser and device characteristics, pages viewed, and referring pages – collected through our hosting and security infrastructure and through a third-party analytics service, which sets cookies. Analytics is configured with IP anonymisation, and we do not use it to identify individuals. See the Cookie Policy for detail and choices.
- Correspondence and scheduling. Where you book a briefing or correspond with the firm, the email, calendaring, and secure-messaging services we use process the information you submit on our behalf.
- Internal tools. The firm maintains client, matter, and billing records in access-controlled practice-management, document, and accounting systems. These hold the professional contact information and matter records reasonably necessary to conduct and document engagements.
2. How we collect it
Directly from you – by email, by secure message, through this website, or in the course of an engagement – and automatically through the website technologies described above. We do not buy lists and do not collect personal information for marketing purposes.
3. Why we collect it
- to respond to and assess enquiries, including conflict screening;
- to conduct advisory mandates and meet our obligations under them;
- to maintain firm records, including records required by law;
- to operate, secure, and understand the use of this website;
- to meet legal and regulatory obligations.
4. Disclosure
We do not sell or trade personal information. We disclose it only: with your consent; to advisers and service providers engaged on a matter, under confidentiality obligations; to the service providers that operate our website, analytics, communications, and practice systems, for those purposes only; or where disclosure is required or authorised by law. Some service providers store data outside Australia (including the United States and the European Union); where that is the case, we take reasonable steps to ensure equivalent protections apply.
5. Security and retention
Information relating to client matters is held in secure, access-controlled systems, with highly sensitive material handled over end-to-end encrypted channels. We retain personal information only as long as it is needed for the purposes above or as required by law, after which it is destroyed or de-identified in accordance with the firm’s retention policy.
6. Access and correction
You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you by writing to the firm at the contact below. We will respond within a reasonable period.
7. Data breaches
The firm assesses suspected eligible data breaches under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme and notifies affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner where required.
8. Complaints
Complaints about the firm’s handling of personal information may be directed to the firm in the first instance. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (oaic.gov.au).
