From time to time, we may receive and store data and other information from you submitted via the Site or provided directly to Blueprint Advisory.
We collect data from you when you interact with us electronically or in person, such as when you visit the Site or engage us to deliver services for you or with third parties.
By providing us with your data, you consent to the provision of that data subject to the terms of this Privacy Policy.
Your option not to provide your personal information
Providing us with your personal information is optional but it may be necessary to have this data for you to receive our services. Whenever it is optional for you to provide us with non-essential personal information, we will make this clear to you.
When you provide us with your personal information, you are consenting to our storage, use and disclosure of that information as outlined in this Privacy Policy.

If there is a change of control of the business or sale, we may transfer our databases to the extent legally permissible.
Disclosure of your data
We may, at our discretion, disclose your data to our employees, officers, insurers, agents, suppliers, or subcontractors for the provision of goods or services.
Principles of our data protection
We will comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). We will not sell, distribute, rent, license, disclose, share or pass your personal information onto any third parties other than those who are contracted to us to keep the information confidential.
We will only collect your data with your consent. We will not knowingly collect information from or process the data of children.
Your rights
You have certain rights as to how your data is obtained and used under the APP. We will comply with your rights as to how your data is used and controlled. As detailed by the APP, you have the right to be informed how your data is being used, access your data, correct your data if it is inaccurate or incomplete, delete your data, restrict processing of your data, retain and reuse your data for your own purposes; dispute the use of your data; and dispute any automated decision-making or profiling.

Security of your data
We are committed to keeping your personal information secure and take all reasonable steps to protect your data from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.
While we take reasonable steps to secure the personal data you provide us, please be aware that despite our efforts, no security measures are perfect or impenetrable, and no method of data transmission can be guaranteed against any interception or other types of misuse.
The transmission of data or information is undertaken at your own risk. We cannot assure you that the data will not be disclosed in a manner inconsistent with our Privacy Policy.
Accuracy and quality of personal information
We will take all reasonable steps to ensure that all information collected from you is kept accurate, up-to-date, and complete and that the personal data and information we use or disclose are, having regard to the purpose of the use or disclosure, accurate, up-to-date, complete, and relevant.
Please feel free to contact our Data Protection Officer at any time to verify and correct your data.

In most cases, you have the right to access the personal information that we hold about you in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). If you wish to access your personal information, please contact our Data Protection Officer at info@blueprintadvisory.com.au.
We will deal with all requests as quickly as possible.
In some cases, we may refuse to give you access to the personal information we hold about you as set out in the Privacy Act or any other applicable law. If we refuse to give you access, we will provide you with reasons for our refusal unless doing so would be unreasonable in the circumstances.
Correction of your personal information
We value the accuracy of your personal information. Should you suspect or become aware that the personal information we hold is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, or misleading, please contact our Data Protection Officer at info@blueprintadvisory.com.au.
We will deal with all requests as quickly as possible.
If we refuse to change the personal information as you request, we will provide you with reasons for our refusal unless doing so would be unreasonable in the circumstances.
Overseas transfer of personal information
It is not part of our standard procedure to disclose personal information to overseas recipients. However, if we have reason to transfer your personal information overseas, we will first seek your consent to do so unless the disclosure of the information is required or authorised by or under Australian law or a court/tribunal order.
Retaining data
We retain data collected for as long as necessary to provide access to the Site or offer our goods or services.
In cases, we may anonymise your data for research or marketing purposes, in which case we will use this data indefinitely without notice to you.
Disposal of personal data not required
If we don’t need to hold your personal data or information, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it unless we are prevented from doing so by law.
