Our approach to privacy and SPAM
Sainty Law respects your privacy. We comply with Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) and the Spam Act 2003, which deals with restrictions on sending emails.

Collecting your information
We collect personal information when we provide our services to you, or a client requires us to collect information on their behalf. Generally, if appropriate, we will tell you why we are collecting personal information and how we plan to use it, or these things will be obvious when we collect the information.

If you are a client, or employed by a client, we usually collect personal information such as your business contact details, job title or position and your expertise and interests. We may collect other personal information in the course of providing legal services to you or your employer.

Collecting your information using this website
We generally only collect personal information from this website when it is provided voluntarily by you – for example, if you request to subscribe to our publications.

When you visit this website or download information from it, our ISP makes a record of your visit and records information about your Internet address, your domain name, if applicable; and the date and time of your visit to the website. Our ISP also collects information such as the pages our users access, the documents they download, links from other sites they follow to reach our site, and the type of browser they use. However, this information is anonymous and is only used for statistical and website development purposes.

How we use and disclose your information
We use your information to provide and market our services to you, and to enhance and develop our relationship with you. We may share your information with our partners. Sainty Law may also disclose your information to service providers, agents and contractors from time to time to help us to provide and market our services to you.

We handle personal information relying on the employee and related bodies corporate exemptions in the Privacy Act where those exemptions are relevant.

Sainty Law is bound by professional obligations of confidentiality and legal professional privilege. We will continue to treat and protect information we receive (including any personal information) in accordance with these obligations.
