PolicyWho do we collect personal information from?
In the course of providing our products and services Nanuk Asset Management Pty Limited (Nanuk) including our related entities, may collect personal information from clients, or potential clients.
What types of personal information do we collect?
In the course of providing products and services, Nanuk may collect:
Personal Information including names, addresses and other contact details; dates of birth; and financial information.
Sensitive Information including government identifiers, your nationality, country of birth, professional memberships, family court orders and criminal records. Nanuk only collects sensitive information where required by law or with consent.
How do we collect and hold your personal information?
How we collect personal information will largely be dependent upon whose information we are collecting. If it is reasonable and practical to do so, we collect personal information directly from you.
Where possible Nanuk has attempted to standardise the collection of personal information by using specifically designed forms (e.g. our Application Forms). However given the nature of our operations we often also receive personal information by email, letters, notes, over the telephone, in face-to-face meetings and through financial transactions.
We may also collect personal information from other people (e.g. a third party administrator) or independent sources, however, we will only do so where it is not reasonable and practical to collect the information from you directly.
Sometimes we may be provided with your personal information without having sought it through our normal means of collection. We refer to this as “unsolicited information”. Where we collect unsolicited information we will only hold, use and or disclose that information if we could otherwise do so had we collected it by normal means. If that unsolicited information could not have been collected by normal means then we will destroy, permanently delete or de-identify the information as appropriate
How we use your personal information?
We only use personal information that is reasonably necessary for one or more of our functions or activities (the primary purpose) or for a related secondary purpose that would be reasonably expected by you, or to which you have consented.
Our uses of personal information include but are not limited to:
Providing you with one or more of our financial services or products;
To assess your application for a financial product or service; and/or
To communicate with you about the products and services that we offer.
We may also need to collect personal information in order to comply with our legal obligations, such as the AML/CTF laws, under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006.
It may be necessary for Nanuk to disclose your personal information to certain third parties in order to assist us with one or more of our functions or activities. This may include organisations providing fund administration or custodial services under an arrangement with us.
We only collect sensitive information reasonably necessary for one or more of these functions or activities if we have the consent of the individuals to whom the sensitive information relates, or if the collection is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety or another permitted general situation.
Storage and security of your personal information
We store personal information in a variety of formats including on databases, in hard copy files and on personal devices, including laptop computers.
The security of your personal information is of paramount importance to us and we take all reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold about you from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
These steps include:
Restricting access to information on our databases on a need to know basis with different levels of security being allocated to staff based on their roles and responsibilities and security profile.
Ensuring all staff are aware that they are not to reveal or share personal passwords.
Ensuring where sensitive information is stored in hard copy files that these files are stored in lockable filing cabinets in lockable rooms. Access to these records is restricted to staff on a need to know basis.
Implementing physical security measures at our premises to prevent break-ins.
Implementing ICT security systems, policies and procedures designed to protect personal information storage on our computer networks.
Implementing human resources policies and procedures, such as email and internet usage, confidentiality and document security policies, designed to ensure that staff follow correct protocols when handling personal information.
Undertaking due diligence with respect to third party service providers who may have access to personal information, including customer identification providers and cloud service providers, to ensure as far as practicable that they are compliant with the Australian Privacy Principles or a similar privacy regime.
Personal information we hold that is no longer needed, or required to be retained by any other laws, is destroyed in secure manner, deleted or de-identified as appropriate.

disclosure will lessen or prevent a serious threat to the life, health or safety of an individual or to public safety;
where another permitted general situation applies;
disclosure is reasonably necessary for a law enforcement related activity.
Disclosure of your personal information to overseas recipients
We may disclose personal information about an individual to overseas organisations that help us provide our services, in certain circumstances, such as when storing information with a “cloud service provider” which stores data outside of Australia, including but not limited to the jurisdictions United States, Europe, or other locations where our service providers operate. Where possible, we will elect for data to be held within Australia. We will however take all reasonable steps not to disclose an individual’s personal information to overseas recipients unless:

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we hold, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up-to-date. These steps include ensuring that the personal information is accurate, complete and up-to-date at the time of collection and when using or disclosing the personal information.
On an ongoing basis we maintain and update personal information when we are advised by individuals or when we become aware through other means that their personal information has changed.
Please contact us if any of the details you have provided change. You should also contact us if you believe that the information we have about you is not accurate, complete or up-to-date.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as required to provide services, comply with legal obligations (including AML/CTF and Corporations Act requirements), resolve disputes and enforce agreements. When personal information is no longer required for these purposes, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it unless we are required to retain it by law,

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, or request that we change the personal information, by contacting us.
If we do not agree to provide you with access or to amend your personal information as requested you will be notified accordingly.
