privacy policy

The Privacy Act 1988 imposes regulations for the collection of personal information; the use and disclosure of personal information; and other matters including data quality, data security, openness, access and correction in the form of National Privacy Principles.

Shelston IP collects the contact details of our clients, as well as the contact details of people on our mailing lists. We collect this information in order to provide intellectual property or legal services, or to communicate new intellectual property, legal or firm developments.

Shelston IP also collects the contact details of other people we do business with (including people we deal with in government departments and agencies, or in our external service providers). We only use this business contact information for the business purpose for which it is collected.

Shelston IP maintains a contact database in order to manage our dealings with you (eg. to contact you for the purposes of providing you with intellectual property or legal advice, or to provide you with other information from time to time). The contact details we hold have been obtained in the usual course of business dealings with you. Unless you tell us otherwise, we will continue to use the contact information we have about you in this way.

You may request access to any personal information which we hold about you by contacting us at any time.
