McGees (SA) Pty Ltd (ABN 98 504 916 044), trading as McGees Property (“McGees”, “we”, “us”, “our”), is committed to protecting your personal information and handling it in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, hold, use, disclose and protect personal information across our commercial property services — including sales and leasing, property and facilities management, valuations, and related advisory and compliance activities.
A current version of this policy is always available on our website at adl.mcgees.com.au.
2. Who this policy applies to
This policy applies to personal information we handle about the people we deal with, including property owners and lessors, prospective and actual purchasers and tenants, suppliers and contractors, and visitors to our offices, managed properties and website.
Personal information about our employees, in the context of their employment, is generally handled separately and may be exempt under the employee records exemption in the Privacy Act.
3. What personal information we collect
Depending on our dealings with you, we may collect:
- Your name, and date and place of birth
- Residential or business address, email address and phone number
- Government-issued identification details, such as driver licence or passport numbers, where we are required to verify your identity
- Financial information, such as bank account details, income or financial references (for example, for tenancy or transaction purposes)
- Information about the properties, services, transactions and tenancies we arrange or manage for you
- Records of our communications and dealings with you
- Information collected through our website (see section 15)
- Any other information you choose to provide to us
We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, our business functions and activities.
4. How we collect your personal information
We collect personal information in a range of ways, including:
- Directly from you — for example, when you enquire about a property, complete an application or agreement, attend an inspection, or correspond with us
- From third parties — such as referrers, your representatives, co-agents, identity verification providers, tenancy or credit reference sources, and publicly available sources, where it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect directly from you
- Automatically — when you use our website (see section 15)
5. Why we collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information
We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information to:
- Provide, arrange and manage our property services for you
- Verify your identity where required
- Communicate with you and manage our relationship with you
- Meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing (AML/CTF) obligations
- Detect and prevent fraud, and keep our systems and records secure
- Improve our services
We use and disclose personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, for related purposes you would reasonably expect, or as otherwise permitted or required by law.
6. Biometric information
As part of identity verification, we may collect biometric information, such as a facial image or a short video of you holding your identification, 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 sensitive information under the Privacy Act. We collect and use it only for identity verification and related compliance purposes, and only with your consent.
7. Consent
By providing your personal information and completing any identity verification process, you consent to us collecting, using and disclosing your personal information for identity verification, AML/CTF and related compliance purposes, and to your details being shared with our identity verification provider.
Your consent is voluntary and you may withdraw it at any time by contacting us. If you do not provide the information we need, or you withdraw your consent, we may be unable to verify your identity electronically or to provide some or all of our services to you.
8. Government related identifiers
Where you provide government related identifiers (such as a driver licence or passport number), we use and disclose them only to verify your identity or where otherwise permitted by law.
9. Disclosure of personal information
We may disclose your personal information to:
- Identity verification providers
- Our people and authorised representatives, on a need-to-know basis
- Property owners, co-agents and other parties to a transaction, where relevant to the services
- Our professional advisers, such as lawyers, accountants and auditors
- Trusted technology and service providers that help us operate our business
- Regulators, law enforcement and government authorities (including AUSTRAC) where required or authorised by law
We do not sell your personal information.
10. Overseas disclosure
Some of our service providers may store or process personal information outside Australia. Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure it is handled consistently with the APPs, including through contractual protections.
11. Data security and retention
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from 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. Some records — including AML/CTF identification and transaction records — must be kept for at least 7 years. When we no longer need your information, we securely delete or de-identify it.
12. Data breaches
We have procedures to identify, contain and assess suspected data breaches. If a data breach involving your personal information is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) as required by the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
