This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect personal information, including information used to verify your identity.

A current version of this Policy is always available on our website at legacyproperty.com.au.

2. What Personal Information We Collect

We may collect the following personal information about you:

  • Full name
  • Date and place of birth
  • Residential or business address
  • Email address and phone number
  • Government-issued identification details, such as driver licence, passport, Medicare card or other ID document numbers
  • Biometric information, such as a facial image or short video used to verify your identity
  • Information about the services we provide to you and any related transactions
  • Any other information you choose to provide to us

We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary to carry out our business activities.

3. Why We Collect Your Personal Information

We collect, use and disclose your personal information to:

  • Verify your identity
  • Provide and manage our services to you
  • Communicate with you about your account with us
  • Meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) requirements
  • Detect and prevent fraud, and keep our systems secure
  • Improve our services

4. Identity Verification and Government Data Matching (DVS)

To verify your identity, we may use electronic identity verification services, including the Australian Government’s Document Verification Service (DVS).

Where you have consented, your name, date of birth and identity document details will be securely sent to the relevant Commonwealth or State authority that issued your document. This may include passport offices, driver licence authorities, the Department of Home Affairs, Births Deaths and Marriages, or other authorised record holders.

These authorities check whether the details you have provided match the records they hold.

We do not receive a copy of your government records. The authority returns a match result only, confirming whether your details match (yes or no).

This process may be carried out through accredited identity verification providers, including Legacy Property (Legacy Property, ABN 73 115 939 065) and its sub-providers.

More information about the DVS is available at idmatch.gov.au.

5. Biometric Information

Biometric information may be used to:

  • Confirm that you are a real person and physically present
  • Match your image to the photograph on your identification document
  • Reduce the risk of fraud and identity theft

Biometric information is treated as sensitive information under the Privacy Act. We only use it for identity verification and related compliance purposes, and only with your consent.

6. Consent to Collection and Identity Verification

By providing your personal information and completing the identity verification process, you consent
to:

  • The collection, use and disclosure of your personal information for identity verification, AML/CTF and related compliance purposes
  • The collection and use of biometric information, such as a facial image or video, for identity verification
  • Your information being checked against records held by Commonwealth and State authorities through the DVS
  • Your information being shared with our authorised identity verification providers, including Legacy Property

Your consent is voluntary. You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us using the details in section 13.

If you do not consent, or do not provide the information we need, we may not be able to verify your identity electronically. In that case, we may need to verify your identity in another way, or we may not be able to provide our services to you.

7. Disclosure of Personal Information

Where this happens, we take reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is handled in line with the Australian Privacy Principles, including through contractual protections with our providers.

9. Data Security and Storage

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

These steps include secure systems, access controls, and encryption in transit and at rest where appropriate.

We retain personal information only for as long as we need it for the purposes set out in this Policy, or as required by law. When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or de-identify it.

10. Access and Correction
