Privacy Policy

At Thrive we appreciate the importance of protecting your personal information. Our Privacy Policy complies with the Australian Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and explains how your personal information will be managed when dealing with our firm.

For what purpose do we collect your personal information?

Thrive collects personal information for the primary purpose of advising and representing clients in accordance with client instructions, including for the purposes of legal proceedings. We also collect personal information for marketing purposes.

Personal information that Thrive may collect includes:

  • name, address, telephone number, email address;
  • your bank account details and credit card information;
  • user ID’s and passwords;
  • details of any services provided to you;
  • records of communications with Thrive;
  • personal website usage information, such as your IP address; and,
  • other personal information you provide to Thrive when you participate in a promotion, promotional activity, survey, market research, or subscribe to our mailing list.

Information is only collected:

  • if necessary for Thrive’s operations;
  • by lawful and fair means and not unreasonably obtrusively; and,
  • where practicable, only from the individual concerned or a person authorised to act on the individual’s behalf.
  • Thrive takes reasonable steps to ensure you are aware of:
  • the likely use of the information;
  • the right of access to the information;
  • the identity and contact details of the organisation;
  • any law requiring collection of the information; and,
  • the main consequences of failure to provide the information.

How might we use and disclose your personal information?

Thrive may use or disclose your personal information:

  • for the primary purpose for which it was collected, ie: advising and representing clients in accordance with your instructions, including for the purpose of legal proceedings; or,
  • you would reasonably expect this; or,
  • you have consented; or,
  • for direct marketing by Thrive but giving you the opportunity to opt out of direct marketing. Thrive includes its contact details in any direct marketing where the law requires or authorises Thrive to do so; or,
  • to third parties who provide services to Thrive, for the primary purposes for which it was collected or for other purposes directly related to the purpose for which the personal information is collected. When Thrive shares your personal information with third party service providers, we require that they use your personal information only for the purpose of providing services to Thrive and subject to terms consistent with this privacy policy.

How is your personal information kept accurate and up-to-date?

Thrive takes steps to ensure your personal information is accurate, up-to-date and not misleading by updating its records whenever changes to the information come to its attention. Thrive disregards information that seems likely to be inaccurate or out-of-date by reason of the time which has elapsed since it was collected or by reason of any other information in its possession.

If you believe your information is incorrect, incomplete or not current, you can ask Thrive to update this information by contacting our Privacy Officer. To contact our Privacy Officer please see contact details below.

Thrive will correct information it has about you if it discovers, or you are able to show to a reasonable standard, that the information is incorrect. If you seek a correction and Thrive disagrees that the information is incorrect, Thrive will provide you with its reasons for taking that view.
