We may use personal information to:

  • improve our services and website;
  • send InnFocus articles, insights and other business communications where appropriate; and
  • comply with applicable legal, regulatory and professional obligations.

We do not sell personal information.

4. Client and engagement information

Our consulting assignments may require clients to provide business records and other confidential information. This can include financial information, contracts, leases, payroll and employee information, supplier information, operating information and other records relevant to the engagement.

We use this information for the purposes of performing the relevant engagement and related professional and administrative purposes.

Our handling of confidential client information may also be governed by the terms of the relevant engagement with InnFocus Consulting.

5. Disclosure of information

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary for our business activities or the provision of our services, including to:

  • professional advisers and specialist consultants involved in an engagement;
  • technology, cloud storage and business service providers;
  • accounting and administrative service providers; and
  • government, regulatory or other authorities where required or authorised by law.

Where an engagement requires information to be provided to an external professional adviser or specialist consultant, we will do so where appropriate to the engagement and subject to appropriate client authority or other lawful basis.

6. Technology and service providers

InnFocus Consulting uses third-party technology and business systems in operating its business. These may include Microsoft 365, Apple iCloud, Xero, HubSpot and other service providers.

These providers may process or store information using infrastructure located in Australia or overseas. The locations in which information is processed or stored may vary according to the provider and services used.

We take reasonable steps appropriate to our circumstances to protect information entrusted to us when using third-party systems and service providers.

7. Website analytics and cookies

The InnFocus Consulting website uses Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use our website and to improve its performance and content.

Google Analytics may collect information about website usage through cookies and similar technologies, including information about a visitor’s device, browser and interaction with the website.

You can control or restrict cookies through your browser settings, although doing so may affect some website functionality.

If you subscribe to InnFocus communications or otherwise consent to receive them, we may use your contact details to send articles, insights, business updates and other relevant communications.

You may unsubscribe from marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe facility provided or by contacting InnFocus Consulting.

We will manage electronic marketing communications in accordance with applicable Australian requirements.

9. Storage and security

InnFocus Consulting takes reasonable steps appropriate to the nature of the information and our business to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

Information may be stored electronically using secure business and cloud-based systems, including Microsoft 365 and Apple iCloud.

No method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. We therefore regularly consider the safeguards appropriate to the information we hold.

10. Retention of information

InnFocus Consulting generally retains substantive consulting engagement records for up to seven years following completion of an engagement, or for a longer period where required or appropriate for legal, contractual, professional, insurance or legitimate business purposes.

Other information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it is held or as required by law.

Where personal information is no longer reasonably required, we will take appropriate steps to securely delete, destroy or de-identify it, where practicable and appropriate.

11. Access and correction

You may contact InnFocus Consulting if you wish to request access to personal information we hold about you or believe that information we hold is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.

We will consider and respond to reasonable requests in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and the circumstances of the request.
