Your privacy is important to us

The Privacy Act 1988 regulates the way Bridgit Pty Ltd (“we”, “our” or “us”) uses personal information. This statement explains your privacy rights and our rights and obligations in relation to personal information about you. Please read it carefully.

We collect personal information to assist us in processing Applications for Accreditation. Generally, we collect such personal information directly, but we may also collect this from, eg, a credit reporting agency (see below under Disclosure of personal information about you). If you do not provide us with sufficient personal information about you, we may not be able to enter into formal arrangements with you. Our Credit Reporting and Privacy Policy is available on our website bridgit.com.au. The Credit Reporting and Privacy Policy sets out how you can access and seek correction to personal information about you; how you may make a complaint regarding a privacy breach and how we deal with privacy complaints.

  • Assess whether to accept your Application for Accreditation
  • Administer and manage our relationship with you
  • Facilitate our internal business operations, including fulfilment of any legal requirements and confidential systems maintenance and testing, and
  • Inform you of products and services provided by us which we consider may be of value or interest to your clients.

We may disclose your personal information if it is necessary to do so in the following circumstances:

  • To any regulatory body

  • To our external service providers that provide services for the purposes only of our business, on a confidential basis, for example legal advisers and mailing houses
  • To any persons acting on your behalf, including a solicitor or accountant, unless you tell us not to
