Privacy Policy
CPC Lawyers Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
CPC Lawyers ("we", "us", "our", "the firm") is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information we hold. This policy explains how we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act), and how you can access or correct your information, or make a complaint.
As a legal practice, we are also bound by professional obligations of confidentiality and client legal privilege under the Legal Profession Uniform Law and our professional conduct rules. Those obligations operate alongside, and do not replace, our duties under the Privacy Act.
This policy applies to personal information collected in the course of providing legal services across our practice areas, including family law, property and conveyancing, litigation and dispute resolution, and wills and estates. It also applies to personal information collected through our website, including via cookies.
2. What personal information we collect
The personal information we collect depends on the nature of the matter, and may include:
• Name, contact details, date of birth and identification documents
• Financial information, including income, assets, liabilities and bank account details (particularly in property, conveyancing and family law matters)
• Health information (for example, in family law parenting matters, personal injury aspects of a matter, or where relevant to testamentary capacity in wills and estates matters)
• Information about family relationships, dependents and next of kin (family law and wills and estates matters)
• Property and title information (conveyancing and property matters)
• Information about a dispute or claim, including information about opposing parties and witnesses (litigation and dispute resolution matters)
• Tax file numbers, where required for estate administration or related commercial matters
• Any other information relevant to the legal services we are engaged to provide
Where we collect sensitive information (such as health information), we do so only where it is reasonably necessary for the matter, with your consent, or where otherwise permitted by law.
3. How we collect personal information
We usually collect personal information directly from you, including through consultations, instructions, correspondence, forms and documents you provide. We may also collect personal information from other sources, including:
• Courts, tribunals and government agencies
• Other parties to a matter and their legal representatives
• Witnesses, experts and other third parties involved in a matter
• Financial institutions, real estate agents and other professionals involved in a transaction
• Publicly available sources, where appropriate
Where practicable, we will collect personal information about you directly from you. If we collect personal information about you from a third party, we will take reasonable steps to notify you in accordance with APP 5.
4. Why we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information
We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for purposes including:
• Providing legal advice and representation and carrying out client instructions
• Marketing our services to you
• Offering benefits, promotions or additional services to you
• Improving the services we provide to you
• Informing you of initiatives that we consider may be of interest to you
• Keeping you informed of developments in the legal and business sectors
• Identifying our clients, prospective clients, and other parties who are involved in, or associated with, our clients' matters
• Preparing and reviewing documents, correspondence and court materials
• Complying with our professional, ethical and regulatory obligations
• Billing and administration of client matters
• Communicating with courts, opposing parties, other professionals and relevant third parties as necessary to conduct a matter
• Complying with our legal obligations, including under AML/CTF, taxation and trust account laws
• Internal business operations, including file management, conflict checking and quality assurance
• Any purpose permitted, required or authorised by or under law
• Any other purpose to which you have consented
We will not use or disclose personal information for a purpose other than the primary purpose of collection unless an exception under the Privacy Act applies (for example, you have consented, the secondary purpose is related and reasonably expected, or disclosure is required or authorised by law).
5. Disclosure of personal information
We may disclose personal information to:
• Courts, tribunals, regulators and government agencies
• Other parties, their legal representatives and relevant third parties involved in a matter
• Barristers, expert witnesses and other professionals engaged in connection with your matter
• Our service providers, including IT, cloud storage and legal practice management software providers, costs consultants, mail houses and professional advisers
• Financial institutions and other parties as required to complete a transaction (e.g. property settlements)
We use cloud-based legal practice management and document storage software to run our practice. This means personal information may be stored on servers located outside Australia. Where personal information is disclosed overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure our service providers handle personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles, in accordance with APP 8. We are not always able to specify in advance every country in which information may be held, as this can depend on the service provider's infrastructure; if you would like further information about the overseas storage arrangements applicable to your matter, please contact us.
6. Data quality and security
We take reasonable steps to ensure the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date, and to protect it from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These steps include physical, electronic and procedural safeguards such as access controls, encryption, staff training and confidentiality obligations.
We will rely on the personal information that is provided to us. In the event that the personal information that you have provided to us changes, is inaccurate or incomplete, you must inform us of this and provide us with the corrected or updated personal information as soon as reasonably possible.
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by our professional obligations, trust account rules, or other law, after which it is securely destroyed or de-identified.
7. Cookies and our website
Our website may use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixel tags) to improve functionality, understand how visitors use our website, and support analytics and, where applicable, advertising. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.
We may use the following types of cookies:
• Strictly necessary cookies, which are required for our website to function properly (for example, security and load-balancing)
• Analytics and performance cookies, which help us understand how visitors use our website (for example, Google Analytics), so we can improve its content and performance
• Functionality cookies, which remember your preferences and settings
• Third-party cookies set by service providers embedded in our website (for example, video hosting or online booking software)
Cookies do not, of themselves, identify you personally, but information collected through them may be combined with other personal information in some circumstances, in which case it will be handled in accordance with this policy.
Most browsers allow you to control or disable cookies through their settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of our website may not function as intended. Where required by law, we will seek your consent before placing non-essential cookies on your device and will provide a mechanism for you to manage your preferences.
We do not control the privacy practices of third parties whose cookies may appear on our website (for example, analytics or social media providers), and we encourage you to review their privacy policies directly.
8. Notifiable data breaches
If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm to an individual whose personal information is involved, we will assess and, where required, notify the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) and affected individuals in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme under the Privacy Act or any other relevant policy, Act or Regulation required to be reported to at the time.
9. Automated decision-making
Where we use technology, including artificial intelligence tools, to support decisions that may significantly affect your rights or interests, we will provide information about the use of such automated decision-making in accordance with our obligations under the Privacy Act, including transparency requirements introduced by the Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024, which take effect from 10 December 2026. Any use of such tools remains subject to review and oversight by our lawyers.
10. Access and correction
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if you believe it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. We will respond to requests within a reasonable period and may charge a reasonable fee for giving access, but not for making the request.
We may need to refuse access or correction in limited circumstances permitted by law, including where the information is subject to legal professional privilege, relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, or where an exception under the Privacy Act applies. If we refuse a request, we will explain our reasons.
11. Complaints

We protect this information, keep it for at least seven years as the law requires, and then destroy or de-identify it.

2. Introduction
CPC Lawyers respects the privacy of personal information collected and handled in connection with our legal practice.
We will take reasonable steps to ensure that:
• personal information collected for AML/CTF purposes is handled responsibly, transparently and securely;
• individuals are given information about how their personal information may be collected, held, used and disclosed for AML/CTF purposes; and
• individuals are informed about how they may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about them.
We will keep personal information confidential, except if disclosure is authorised by you, necessary for the conduct of your matter, required or authorised by law, or otherwise permitted under our professional obligations.
3. Purpose
This Privacy Policy explains how we manage personal information that we collect, hold, use and disclose for the purposes of, or in connection with, our obligations under the AML/CTF Framework.
For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether true or not and whether recorded in a material form or not.
4. Scope
We are a small business operator under section 6D of the Privacy Act. We are subject to the Privacy Act only in relation to our AML/CTF related activities, by operation of section 6E(1A) of that Act.
This Privacy Policy applies only to personal information that we collect, hold, use or disclose for the purposes of, or in connection with, our obligations under the AML/CTF Framework. It applies to clients and to other individuals whose personal information we collect for these purposes, including beneficial owners, persons acting on behalf of clients, and other individuals connected with a designated service.
If personal information is collected for the purposes of our obligations under the AML/CTF Framework and subsequently incorporated into our broader client or matter records, we will, to the extent required by law, continue to handle that information in accordance with the Privacy Act and applicable APPs.
Other personal information handled by us remains outside the Privacy Act if it is not collected or held for the purposes of, or in connection with, the AML/CTF Framework, and if no other exception to the small business exemption applies.
Regardless of whether the Privacy Act applies, we continue to handle all client information confidentially in accordance with our professional obligations, including under the Legal Practitioners Act 1981 (SA) and the South Australian Legal Practitioners Conduct Rules as they apply in South Australia. Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits our duties of confidentiality or client legal privilege.
5. Description
CPC Lawyers is a South Australian law practice that provides legal services to clients.
We provide designated services under the AML/CTF Act. If we provide, prepare to provide, or reasonably anticipate providing a designated service, we will be required to collect and verify information about clients and in some instances, other relevant persons.
The designated services we provide may include:
• assisting with the buying, selling or transferring of real estate, other than under an order of a court or tribunal;
• assisting with the buying, selling or transferring of a business, other than under an order of a court or tribunal;
• assisting with the buying, selling or transferring of a body corporate or legal arrangement, other than under an order of a court or tribunal;

• selling or transferring a shelf company;
• assisting with the creation or restructuring of a body corporate or legal arrangement;
• acting as, or arranging for another person to act as, a director or secretary of a company, a power of attorney, a partner, a trustee or an equivalent position, on behalf of another person;
6. Policy
6.1 Collection of personal information
We collect personal information only by lawful and fair means, and directly from you wherever it is reasonable and practicable to do so.
We may collect personal information if you, your organisation, or someone acting on your or its behalf:
• engages us to provide legal services;
• provides information or documents to us for AML/CTF purposes;
• visits our office or meets with us;
• communicates with us by post, email, telephone, text message, video conference or other means; or
• completes forms or provides documents to us.
We may collect personal information from third parties if you have consented, if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect it from you directly, or if we are required or authorised by law to do so.
Third party sources may include:
• our clients;
• persons acting on behalf of a client;
• other parties to a matter and their representatives;
• courts, tribunals, regulators, law enforcement bodies and government agencies;
• publicly available sources, including public registers; and
• identity verification, screening, information technology and other service providers.
We also collect personal information through our website and through online identity verification platforms, for example when you complete an enquiry or intake form or upload identification documents via Infotrack.
We will provide a collection notice at or before the time we collect personal information for AML/CTF purposes, or as soon as practicable afterwards.
6.2 KYC information and sensitive information
We are required by the AML/CTF Framework to collect and verify certain information. We may be prohibited from providing designated services if we cannot collect or verify that information.
The personal information we collect for AML/CTF purposes may include:
• name;
• date of birth;
• residential address;
• contact details;
• photographic identification;
• occupation;
• business holdings and structures;
• information about beneficial ownership and control;
• information about persons acting on behalf of a client;
• information about source of funds and source of wealth;
• information about the nature and purpose of the business relationship or transaction; and
• details of the legal services or transactions sought or provided.
We will only collect sensitive information if required under the AML/CTF Framework, with your consent if required, or if an exception under the Privacy Act applies.
Sensitive information may include information or an opinion about an individual’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinions or associations, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association or trade union, sexual orientation or practices, criminal record, health information, genetic information or biometric information.
We may collect government related identifiers, such as passport, driver licence or Medicare details, if required for identity verification or other AML/CTF purposes.
We will not adopt a government related identifier as our own identifier. We will only use or disclose a government related identifier if required or authorised by law, or if otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.
If you do not provide requested Personal Information, we may be unable to provide Designated Services and/or comply with our legal obligations.
​
6.3 Personnel due diligence
We collect personal information about employees and prospective employees if required for personnel due diligence under the AML/CTF Framework. This may include identity information, employment history, and information about criminal history or regulatory action, collected with the individual’s consent or as otherwise permitted by law.
We use this information to assess whether a person is suitable for a role that could be used to facilitate money laundering, terrorism financing or proliferation financing, and to comply with our AML/CTF program. We handle it in accordance with this Privacy Policy and our professional obligations.
6.4 Anonymity and pseudonymity
if lawful and practicable, you may interact with us anonymously or using a pseudonym.
However, this will generally not be lawful or practicable if we are required to identify or verify a client or another person under the AML/CTF Framework. Our professional obligations also ordinarily require us to know who we are acting for and who is giving instructions.
We may be able to provide general information on an anonymous basis. We will usually be unable to act in a legal matter anonymously or pseudonymously.
6.5 Use and disclosure of personal information
We use and disclose personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, and for related purposes that you would reasonably expect.
For sensitive information, any secondary purpose must be directly related to the primary purpose of collection.
We may use and disclose personal information for AML/CTF purposes, including to:
• identify and verify clients and other relevant persons;
• identify beneficial owners;
• confirm the authority of persons acting on behalf of clients;
• assess money laundering, terrorism financing and proliferation financing risks;
• conduct sanctions, politically exposed person and other screening checks;
• conduct ongoing customer due diligence;
• monitor transactions and matter activity where required;
• comply with record keeping obligations;
• comply with reporting obligations; and
• comply with directions, notices, requests or requirements from AUSTRAC or another lawful authority.
We may also use or disclose personal information if necessary for the conduct of your matter, with your express or implied authority, or as required or authorised by law.
We will not use personal information collected for AML/CTF purposes for direct marketing.
6.6 Unsolicited personal information
If we receive personal information that we did not request, we will determine whether we could have collected that information under the Privacy Act.
If we could not have collected the information and it is lawful and reasonable to do so, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it as soon as practicable and in accordance with APP 4.
6.7 Disclosure to third parties
Subject to our duties of confidentiality, privilege and any applicable court rules or undertakings, we may disclose personal information to:
• barristers, mediators, experts, investigators, consultants and other legal practitioners engaged in relation to a matter;
• other parties to proceedings or transactions and their representatives;
• courts, tribunals, government agencies, regulators and law enforcement bodies;
• AUSTRAC and other agencies if required or authorised by the AML/CTF Framework;
• professional indemnity insurers;
• costs assessors or the Supreme Court costs adjudication process if relevant;
• contracted service providers who assist us to operate our practice, including information technology, document management, data storage, archiving, identity verification and screening providers; and
• related entities, where applicable.
We take reasonable steps to ensure that contracted service providers handle personal information appropriately and do not use or disclose it for unauthorised purposes.
We may use technology tools (including artificial intelligence tools) to assist in processing information. We take reasonable steps to ensure such tools are used in a manner consistent with our privacy and confidentiality obligations.
6.8 Legal requirements and AUSTRAC reporting
There may be circumstances where we are required or authorised by law to use or disclose personal information without your consent.
This may include where:
• disclosure is required by warrant, subpoena, court order, statutory notice or other lawful requirement;
• disclosure is required or authorised under the AML/CTF Framework;
• we form a suspicion about a matter or transaction that must be reported to AUSTRAC;
• disclosure is necessary to lessen or prevent a serious threat to life, health or safety;
• disclosure is necessary for us to take appropriate action in relation to suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct; or
• disclosure is otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.
In some cases, it is an offence for us to disclose that we have made a report to AUSTRAC.
Nothing in this Privacy Policy limits our obligations of confidentiality or client legal privilege. However, there may be circumstances where we are compelled to disclose confidential information to AUSTRAC under the AML/CTF Framework. In some circumstances, we may be prohibited from notifying you that a disclosure has been made.
6.9 Data Quality
We take reasonable steps to ensure that personal information we collect, use and disclose for AML/CTF purposes is accurate, current, complete and relevant.
We rely on you to provide accurate information and to tell us if your information changes during the course of your matter or business relationship with us.
Records held after our work has concluded will not usually be monitored or updated unless further instructions are received or we are required to do so by law.
6.10 Storage and information security
We hold personal information in hard copy and electronic formats.
Our electronic systems include practice management, document management and storage systems operated by third party providers, including cloud based services.
We may link personal information collected for AML/CTF purposes with other information we hold about you in connection with your matter, for example in our client and matter records.
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
These steps may include:
• staff training on privacy, confidentiality and AML/CTF obligations;
• access controls limiting personal information to those who need it;
• multi factor authentication;
• password and passphrase controls;
• encryption;
• firewalls;
• anti malware protections;
• secure document management systems;
• secure physical storage;
• backup procedures; and
• processes for managing cyber incidents and data breaches.
If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm, we will comply with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme in the Privacy Act, including notifying the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner and affected individuals where required.
6.11 Retention and destruction
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, comply with our legal and professional obligations, and ensure relevant evidence remains available if reasonably required.
Information collected for AML/CTF purposes including KYC information and transaction records will be kept for at least seven years after the business relationship ends or the transaction is completed, as required by the AML/CTF Framework.
Other personal information may be retained for longer periods if required by law, to comply with our professional obligations, insurance considerations or limitation periods.
If personal information is no longer needed for any permitted purpose, and we are not required by law, court order or professional obligation to retain it, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or deidentify it.
6.12 Access and correction
You may request access to, or correction of, personal information we hold about you by contacting our Privacy Officer.
We may ask you to verify your identity before giving access or making corrections.
We will respond to access and correction requests within a reasonable period, generally within 30 days.
We may charge a reasonable fee to cover the cost of locating, retrieving and providing information. We will not charge a fee for making a correction.
We may refuse access or correction where permitted by law. This may include where giving access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others, would be unlawful, would prejudice enforcement activities or anticipated legal proceedings, would reveal commercially sensitive evaluative information, or would be inconsistent with our duties to another client.
If we refuse access or correction, we will provide written reasons unless it would be unreasonable or unlawful to do so.
6.13 Overseas Disclosure
Not applicable.
6.14 Business Transactions
If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, restructure or sale of practice assets, personal information may be disclosed in confidence as part of due diligence and may be transferred to the new owner.
Where practicable and lawful, we will provide notice before personal information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
6.15 Related Entities
Not applicable.
6.16 Third Party Websites
Our website may contain links to third party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites. You should read their privacy policies before providing personal information to them.
