Privacy Policy
McNally & Gleeson Lawyers (“we”, “us”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, store and disclose personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, and our professional obligations as Victorian legal practitioners.
What we collect
We collect personal information that you provide to us when you contact us, engage us to act for you, or use our website, including your name, contact details, and information relevant to your legal matter. Information you provide in connection with a legal matter is also protected by legal professional privilege and our duty of confidentiality, which operate in addition to privacy law.
How we collect it
We collect information directly from you in person, by phone, by email and through the contact forms on this website. Our website also uses cookies and analytics services that collect non-identifying usage information, such as pages visited and the type of device used, to help us understand how the site is used.
Why we collect it
We collect and use personal information to provide legal advice and representation, to communicate with you about your matter, to manage our business records and trust accounting obligations, and to comply with our legal and professional obligations. We do not sell personal information, and we do not use client information for marketing without consent.
Disclosure
We may disclose personal information where it is necessary for the conduct of your matter (for example to barristers, expert witnesses, courts and opposing parties), where you authorise us to do so, or where we are required or permitted by law. Some service providers we use, such as IT and document storage providers, may store information on servers located outside Australia; where this occurs we take reasonable steps to ensure comparable protections apply.
Security and retention
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. Client files are retained for at least the period required by Victorian legal practice rules, after which they are securely destroyed.
Access and correction
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete. Some requests may be affected by legal professional privilege or our obligations to other parties; we will explain any limits that apply when we respond.
Complaints
If you have a concern about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first and we will respond promptly. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
