1.3 This Policy covers our website, forms and InvestorKit App, and explains how InvestorKit Pty Ltd handles information in connection with those services. Where relevant, information may also be shared with InvestorKit Group Pty Ltd and its related entities as described in section 5.

  4. (d)  Internet Protocol (IP) addresses;

  6. (f)  other information we think is necessary.

2.2 When the law authorises or requires us to collect information
We may collect information including personal information about you because we are required or authorised by law to collect it. For example, we require personal information to verify your identity under Australian Anti-Money Laundering law.

2.3 What do we collect through your website activity?

  2. (b) If you start but don’t submit an on-line application, we can contact you using any of the contact details you’ve supplied to offer help completing it. The information in applications will be kept temporarily then destroyed if the application is not completed.
  3. (c) We also know that some customers like to engage with us through social media channels. We may collect information about you when you interact with us through these channels. However, for all confidential matters, we’ll ensure we interact with you via a secure form of communication.
  4. (d) To improve our services and products, we sometimes collect de- identified information from web users. That information could include IP addresses or geographical information to ensure your use of our web applications are secure.

2.4 Forms and app information. When you enquire, register, sign an engagement agreement or use our services, we may collect contact and identity details, property goals, financial circumstances, uploaded documents, communications, referral information, device and usage data, and service events. Some information is necessary to respond to your request or provide a service; if you do not provide it, we may be unable to proceed.

3. HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

3.1 Collecting and holding to your information

  1. (a) Unless it’s unreasonable or impractical, we will try to collect personal information directly from you (referred to as “solicited information”). For this reason, it’s important that you help us keep your contact details up-to-date.

  2. (ii) your guarantors/proposed guarantors;

  5. (v) organisations that help us to process credit applications;
  6. (vi) organisations that evaluate the security or collateral you are offering (e.g. valuers);
  7. (vii)  bodies that issue identification documents to help us check your identity; and
  8. (viii)  our service providers involved in helping us to process any application you make for credit through us.

3.5 What do we do when we get information we didn’t request?”

  1. (a) Sometimes, other organisations share information with us we did not request (referred to as ‘unsolicited information’).
  2. (b) If we receive unsolicited personal information about you, we will check whether that information is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities. If it is, we’ll handle this information the same way we do with other information we request from you. If not, we’ll ensure that we destroy or de-identify the unsolicited information.

3.6 When will we notify you that we have received your information?
(a) When we receive personal information from you directly, we’ll take reasonable steps to notify you (including directing you to this privacy policy on our website):

  1. (i) how and why we collected your information;
  2. (ii) who we may disclose your information to;
  3. (iii) outline how you can access it;
  4. (iv) how to request a correction of your information; or
  5. (v) make a complaint regarding how your information is handled.

(b) Sometimes we collect your personal information from third parties, and you may not be aware that we have done so. If we collect information that can be used to identify you, we will take reasonable steps to notify you of that collection.

3.7 How do we take care of your personal information?

  1. (a) We store information in different ways, including in paper and electronic form.
  2. (b) The security of your personal information is important to us and we take reasonable steps to protect it along with other data from misuse, interference, loss, and from unauthorised access, modification, disclosure, or destruction.
  3. (c) Some of the ways we ensure that your personal information is secure are:
  4. (i) internal document storage security policies and reviews;
  5. (ii) ensuring appropriate encryption as necessary;
  6. (iii) security measures for access to our systems;
  7. (iv) other physical security measures to guard against unauthorised access; and
  8. (v) only giving access to personal information to a person who is verified and authorised to receive that information.
  9. (d) We may store personal information physically or electronically with third party data storage providers. If we do this, we use contractual arrangements to ensure those providers take appropriate measures to protect that information and restrict how they can use that information.

3.8 What happens when we no longer need your information?

  1. (a) We’ll only keep your information for as long as we require it for our purposes or if required by law.
  2. (b) When we no longer require your information, we’ll ensure that your information is destroyed or de-identified.
  3. (c) You acknowledge that in the event personal information is deleted, residual copies may not be immediately deleted and remain on our active servers for some time, and may remain in our backup servers.

3.9 Forms and app interactions. We collect information you provide through forms and the InvestorKit App, and may record the form, time of submission and applicable notice. We may also collect information from service conversations, bookings, signed engagement agreements and the providers described in section 5.

3.10 InvestorKit calculators in AI apps. You can add the InvestorKit property calculators to an AI app, such as ChatGPT or Claude, without an InvestorKit account. When your AI app runs a calculator, it sends us only the figures needed for that calculation, such as a loan amount, interest rate or state. We do not receive your name, email address, account details or the rest of your conversation. The provider of your AI app, such as OpenAI or Anthropic, handles your conversation under its own privacy policy.

We use those figures only to work out the result and return it to your AI app. We do not save them to a database, use them to build a profile of you or use them for marketing. In connection with the calculators:

  • calculator figures are not kept after the result is returned;
  • our server holds your IP address in temporary memory to limit how often the calculators can be run. It is not saved to a database or sent to analytics, and it is discarded automatically;
  • PostHog receives an anonymous count of each calculation, recording which calculator ran and which AI app asked. The count contains none of your figures, is not linked to you and is kept for up to seven years;
  • Vercel, our hosting provider, keeps technical request logs, such as the time, the address requested and the IP address the request came from, for up to 30 days; and
  • if something goes wrong on our servers, Sentry, our error monitoring provider, may receive technical details about the error and the request, which it keeps for up to 90 days.

You can remove the InvestorKit connector from your AI app at any time, after which we receive nothing further from it. Because we do not keep your figures or link the counts to you, we generally hold no calculator information that identifies you. Contact [email protected] with any questions about this clause.

4. HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION

4.1 What are the main reasons we collect, hold, and use your information?
Collecting your personal information allows us to provide you with the products and services you’ve asked for. This means we can use your information to:

  1. (a) give you credit assistance, including assisting you in your credit applications;
  2. (b) give you information about loan products or related services including help, assistance, and guidance;
  3. (c) consider whether you are eligible for a loan;
  4. (d) assist you to prepare an application for a loan;
  5. (e) search and inspect properties on your behalf;
  6. (f) if necessary, negotiate or bid on properties on your behalf;
  7. (g) provide learning tools and information regarding property;
  8. (h) any related service you requested including identifying or verifying you or your authority to act on behalf of another person or organisation, including sharing your information with our related companies, such as Fouracre Financial Pty Ltd, for financial and investment services relevant to your circumstances;
  9. (i)  administer services we provide, for example, to answer requests or deal with complaints; and

  1. (a) We may use or disclose your personal information to let you know about other products or services we or a third party makes available and that may be of interest to you.
  2. (b) We will always give you the option to opt out from receiving marketing offers. You can notify us at any time if you no longer wish to receive direct marketing offers from us, and we will process your request as soon as possible.
  3. (c) With your consent, we may disclose your personal information to third parties or our related companies, such as Fouracre Financial Pty Ltd, to offer services that may be of interest to you. Using our forms, purchasing a product/service, or signing our engagement agreement may be deemed as marketing consent. You may opt out at any time.
  4. (d) We do not sell your personal information to any organisation.

4.3 What are the other ways we use your information?
We may use your personal information for the following purposes unless you request us not to:

  1. (a)  telling you about other products or services we make available and that may be of interest to you, unless you tell us not to;
  2. (b)  identifying opportunities to improve our services to you;(c)  allowing us to run our business efficiently and perform general administrative tasks;
  3. (d)  preventing any fraud or crime or any suspected fraud or crime;
  4. (e)  as required by law, regulation or codes which are binding on us; and
  5. (f)  any purpose which you have provided consent.

4.4 Communications, analytics and service improvement. We use relevant information to respond to enquiries, manage accounts and agreements, assess suitable next steps, provide and improve services, measure performance, protect our systems and meet legal obligations.

When you submit a form that displays our marketing notice, you consent to receive relevant InvestorKit Group marketing about property research, resources, products and services by email and, if you provide a mobile number, SMS, to the extent permitted by law. If you previously opted out, a later form submission, including a resource or whitepaper request, may be treated as fresh consent for the contact details you provide and may re-subscribe you to email and SMS marketing for those details.

You can opt out of either channel or both at any time through /unsubscribe, an unsubscribe method in a message or [email protected]. Opting out of marketing does not stop necessary service or transactional messages.

5. HOW WE SHARE PERSONAL INFORMATION

5.1 To ensure that we provide you with our services that has been requested by you, we may need to share your personal information with other organisations for any purposes for which we use your information.

5.2 Sharing with your representatives and referees

  2. (b) your referees, like your employer.

5.3 Sharing with third parties

We may share relevant information with InvestorKit Group Pty Ltd and its related entities for client service, administration, reporting and relevant group offerings. This includes Fouracre Financial Pty Ltd if you ask for, or need assistance with, financing options. A referral to Fouracre does not guarantee credit approval or replace its own disclosures and consents.

We share information with these companies for purposes such as:

  • Offering you relevant financial, lending, or investment services that may benefit you

  • Ensuring a seamless experience across our group of companies

  • Fulfilling regulatory or compliance obligations

  • Administrative purposes, such as verifying your identity

You may ask us to stop optional sharing with related entities where the law allows by contacting [email protected].

Further to this, we may also share your information with relevant third parties in relation to the services we provide to you, and those third parties may include:

  1. (a) the mortgage aggregator through whom you may submit loan or lease applications to lenders;

  • DataGlue (dataglue.io) for receiving and processing form submissions and routing data into our systems;
  • Customer.io for customer communications and journeys, PostHog for product and website analytics, and Fivetran for movement of data into our reporting warehouse;
  • Attio for customer records, Supabase and cloud infrastructure providers for app data and hosting, Calendly for bookings, and AML Partners or PEXA Clear for identity verification where required; and
  • OpenAI and Anthropic for AI assisted features and internal workflows, where relevant information may be sent to provide those features.

These providers may engage their own subprocessors. We may add, replace or remove providers and subprocessors as our services change. Communications, security and other technology providers may also process information on our behalf. We limit access to what is reasonably needed for the service and require appropriate safeguards through our arrangements with providers. Not every provider receives every category of information.

5.4 Sharing outside of Australia. Some providers and their subprocessors may process or store information outside Australia, including in the United States. Locations may change. We take reasonable steps required by the Australian Privacy Principles for overseas disclosures. Using a provider does not remove our applicable privacy obligations.
