Privacy policy
1. Introduction and Preliminary Provisions
This Privacy Policy delineates the obligations of Conveyancers Australia (referred to herein as “the Company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) regarding the collection, utilisation, dissemination, and safeguarding of personal information. The Company is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) enshrined within the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). Given our role as an intermediary facilitating referrals to legal and conveyancing practitioners, the judicious management of your data is paramount to our operational integrity.
2. Typology of Information Collected
We collect personal information exclusively to the extent that it is reasonably necessary for one or more of our business functions. The categories of information we may collect comprise:
Biographical and Contact Data: Names, residential addresses, telephone numbers, and email addresses.
Property and Transactional Data: Details pertaining to the property being transacted, proposed settlement dates, contractual conditions, and financial parameters requisite for selecting an appropriate conveyancer.
Digital and Telemetry Data: IP addresses, browser specifications, navigational behaviour on our platform, and data gathered via cookies and analogous tracking technologies.
3. Methodologies of Collection
The Company adheres to the principle of direct collection. We solicit personal information primarily when you:
Submit an online enquiry or utilise our matching algorithms.
Communicate with our consultants via telephone, electronic mail, or integrated chat interfaces.
Subscribe to our newsletters or participate in promotional initiatives. Where it is impracticable to collect information directly from you, we may obtain it from third parties (such as real estate agents or mortgage brokers), provided you have authorised such secondary collection.
4. Purposes of Utilisation and Disclosure
Your personal information is primarily harnessed to seamlessly connect you with suitably qualified conveyancing practitioners. Specifically, we utilise and disclose your data to:
Assess your specific conveyancing requirements and match you with an appropriate practitioner from our curated panel.
Transmit your contact and property details to the selected conveyancing firm, enabling them to initiate contact and furnish a formal quotation or retainer agreement.
Administer our digital platform, enhance user experience, and conduct rudimentary internal analytics.
Discharge any statutory or regulatory obligations mandated by Australian law.
5. Third-Party Disclosures and Cross-Border Data Transfers
The crux of our service necessitates the disclosure of your personal information to third-party conveyancers and legal practitioners. By engaging our service, you provide explicit consent for this disclosure. Furthermore, we may disclose your information to auxiliary service providers (e.g., cloud infrastructure hosts and CRM administrators).
While the majority of our data repositories are domiciled within Australia, select third-party service providers may utilise servers located in overseas jurisdictions. We take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that these offshore entities are bound by privacy obligations commensurate with the APPs.
6. Data Integrity and Security Protocols
The Company deploys a robust matrix of technical and organisational countermeasures to protect your personal information against unauthorised access, exfiltration, modification, or inadvertent destruction. These measures encompass cryptographic protocols in data transmission (SSL/TLS), role-based access controls for personnel, and periodic cybersecurity audits. Information that is no longer required for its designated purpose, nor subject to statutory retention periods, is irrevocably destroyed or comprehensively de-identified.
7. Access, Rectification, and Grievance Resolution
You possess a statutory right to request access to, and rectification of, the personal information we hold about you. Should you wish to exercise these rights, or if you harbour a grievance regarding our compliance with the APPs, you are invited to direct your correspondence to our Privacy Officer. We undertake to acknowledge and investigate all formal complaints within thirty (30) days. Should our internal resolution mechanisms prove unsatisfactory, you maintain the prerogative to escalate the matter to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Where third-party website, hosting, analytics, security, form-processing, or other service providers place or access cookies or similar technologies, their handling of information may also be governed by their own privacy practices.
