How we collect information and what we collect


We collect personal information when we are, or propose to be dealing with, or providing or marketing our services to you and other potential clients. We only collect personal information from you which is reasonably necessary for us to know in order to provide our services to you, meet our professional obligations and conduct our business.

 

Personal information that we collect may include:

  3. information that relates to your interests and any professional memberships and associations;
  4. usernames which identify social media accounts operated by you;
  5. your payment details;

Where reasonably practicable, we will collect your personal information directly from you.
