“Personal information” means any information or opinion, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. In general terms, this includes information or an opinion that personally identifies you either directly (e.g. your name) or indirectly.

  • phone number;
  • financial information;
  • banking details;
  • search locations;
  • past or present list of owned property/assets;


Where possible, we will give you the option to interact with us anonymously, without disclosing your identity. However, if you choose to deal with us in this way or choose not to provide personal information, we may not be able to provide you with our services or otherwise interact with you.
