Privacy Policy

Madderns understands that privacy is important and is commited to complying with the National Privacy Principles (NNPS), which are set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act). The NPPs govern how private organisations handle 'personal information', which is essentially information about you and from which you can be identified.

What personal information does Madderns collect?

The type of personal information that Madderns collects will depend on the nature of your dealings with us. We may collect personal information from you when you:

• approach or contract with Madderns to provide you with advice concerning intellectual property or other services;
• contact us via our website (at http://www.madderns.com.au) or subscribe to one of our mailing lists;
• attend a Madderns seminar; or
• have business dealings with us (e.g. as one of our suppliers).

If you are a client or someone who has contact with us through our website, the personal information we collect from you will usually include your name, title, business and email addresses and contact numbers (telephone, fax, mobile). If necessary for the purposes of providing services to you, or for providing you with other information (such as advice as to upcoming seminars or general advice concerning intellectual property protection), we may collect other personal information from you.

If you are one of Madderns' `business contacts'; (e.g. a contact person in one of our suppliers or in a government agency or company with which we deal), we may collect basic business contact information from you (e.g. your name, title and work contact details).
