Privacy Policy

At Lionsgate Finance Brokers,  we are committed to protecting your privacy in accordance with the Privacy Act 1998  (Cth) (‘Privacy Act’).  We understand how important it is to protect your personal information. 

We recognise that any personal information that we collect about you and/or your organisation, will only be used for the purposes we have collected it, or as allowed under the law. It is important to us, that you are confident that any personal information we hold about you, will be treated in a way which ensures protection of your personal information.  

 Our commitment in respect of personal information is to abide by the Australian Privacy Principles for the protection of personal information, as set out in the Privacy Act and the Notifiable Data Breach scheme established under the Act.  This web site is provided by Lionsgate Finance Brokers ABN 43 546 351 293.

We collect most personal information directly from you, whether in person, on the phone, electronically or if you deal with us in some other way. 

When we refer to personal information we mean information or an opinion from which your identity is reasonably apparent.  Typically this will refer to:

Credit related information - information which is used to assess your eligibility to be provided with finance and may include any finance that you have outstanding, your repayment history in respect of those loans, and any defaults.  Usually, credit information is exchanged between credit and finance providers and credit reporting bodies.

Identification Information - this may include your name, date of birth, address, account details, occupation, and any other information we may need to identify you.  If we collect government identifiers, such as your tax file number, we do not use or disclose this information other than required by law.  We will never use a government identifier in order to identify you.

Financial information - information required for making credit-related decisions, such as credit reports from credit reporting bodies (CRBs), bank account information, employment status, income and expenses, assets and liabilities and credit and loan repayment history. We may also collect the ages and number of your dependants and cohabitants as part of any finance application.

Sensitive Information - the personal information we collect may also include sensitive information — such as information about your religion, ethnicity, health or criminal record. The Privacy Act protects your sensitive information and we will generally only collect this information from you if it is reasonably necessary and with your consent.

We collect your personal information for the purposes of assessing your application for finance and managing that finance. This allows us to verify your identity;

• assist you in obtaining approval or the provision of a product or service;
• provide the products and services you require and assist in managing these over time;
• contact you, for example if we need to tell you something important;
• conduct appropriate checks for credit-worthiness and for fraud;
• manage our risks and help identify and investigate illegal activity;
• research and develop our products or services provided
• help us manage our relationship with you, including, for example, dealing with any feedback, disputes or enquiries
• conduct and improve our businesses and improve your customer experience;
• comply with our legal obligations and assist government and law enforcement agencies or regulators
• provide you with current information about finance, offers you may find of interest, changes to our organisation, or new products or services being offered by us or any company with whom we are associated.
