We understand the importance of privacy to our clients, and are dedicated to protecting their personal information through our commitment to complying with the National Privacy Principles (NPPs) contained within the Privacy Act 1998. This Privacy Policy is the basis for how Doubleday Real Estate Pty Ltd manages your information, including collection, use and disclosure.
Collection of Information
Doubleday Real Estate Pty Ltd may collect and store relevant personal information about you through the course of providing services to you or someone else you know. This information would usually be obtained directly from you verbally or via correspondence, though there may be some circumstances where information is collected indirectly due to it being impractical to obtain the information from you directly. In such circumstances when possible you will generally be notified.
This information may include your;
· name
· gender
· telephone and facsimile numbers
· email address
· location and nature of enquiry
· or other information essential to the services we provide.
If you are not comfortable providing us with personal information that we request, the primary consequence is that we may not be able to assist or communicate with you.
Use of Information

· Providing you or somebody you know with our real estate services
· Providing you with information which is relevant to you or your business
· Fulfilling any legal obligations arising from our business operations or services
· Providing you with information regarding other services which we provide which we believe may be of benefit to you
· For facilitating various business operations such as customer satisfaction reviews, for the purpose of improving our services
· For complying with Federal and State Government Covid-19 safety protocals and contact tracing directions
Disclosure of Information
Doubleday Real Estate Pty Ltd will never sell or trade your personal information with third parties, and generally will not disclose your information outside of our business. Exceptions to this are for providing necessary information for external service providers who work in conjunction with our business (for example, providers of research and consultancy services to aid us in helping our clients, or suppliers of services to us) and when we are legally obliged to disclose information.
Doubleday Real Estate Pty Ltd is committed to protecting your information and only engages external service providers who share this commitment and follow the NPPs. Agreements are made beforehand which authorise the use of your information to strictly limited circumstances.
Security of your information
Doubleday Real Estate Pty Ltd commitment to protecting your personal information is demonstrated by our use of current technology for securing both our premises and electronic records.

Our offices are secure and all staff are subject to confidentiality obligations and bound by operating procedures which greatly reduce any risks to the security of non-electronic forms of your personal information stored on site.
Accessing your information
If you wish to view any personal information of yours being held by Doubleday Real Estate Pty Ltd this is generally possible following the submission of a written request, unless there is a specific reason why we are not required to do so, under the Privacy Act. In such circumstances you will be informed of the exact reasons why information has been withheld.
