Blackwood & Terrace (“we”, “us”, “our”) is an Australian opportunity origination and execution partner for international and private capital. Discretion and confidentiality are central to how we work. This policy explains how we collect, use, hold and disclose personal information, and how you can access or correct it.
We handle personal information in line with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
1. Who this policy applies to
This policy applies to people who visit our website or contact us, and to the individuals we deal with in the course of our business, including:
- investors, family offices and their representatives;
- business owners, vendors, asset owners and project proponents;
- strategic partners, advisers, brokers and other introducers; and
- prospective clients and business contacts.
2. What we collect
We only collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our business. Depending on how you deal with us, this may include:
- Contact details: your name, email address, mobile or phone number, organisation, role and location.
- Enquiry details: the information you include when you submit our contact form or email us.
- Mandate and transaction information: investment criteria, deal preferences, business and asset information, and records of our discussions, meetings and correspondence.
- Verification information: where a transaction requires it, identity, entity or ownership details needed for due diligence by us or the parties involved.
- Website information: technical data such as your browser, device and pages visited, collected through cookies (see section 9).
We do not seek to collect sensitive information (such as health, religious or political information). If you provide it to us unprompted, we will only keep it where it is relevant and permitted by law.
3. How we collect it
We collect personal information directly from you when you contact us, complete our website form, meet with us, or enter into an engagement or confidentiality arrangement with us.
We may also collect business contact information from other sources, such as professional networking platforms (including LinkedIn), company websites, public registers, industry events and introductions from trusted contacts. Where we collect information about you from someone else, we will take reasonable steps to let you know.
4. Why we use it
We use personal information to:
- respond to your enquiry and communicate with you;
- understand your objectives and assess whether an opportunity or mandate is a good fit;
- originate, introduce and coordinate opportunities, partners and advisers;
- manage engagements, confidentiality deeds and transaction processes;
- send you relevant opportunities or updates where you would reasonably expect them (see section 6);
- operate, secure and improve our website; and
- meet our legal, regulatory and record keeping obligations.
5. Who we share it with
We do not sell or rent personal information. We only disclose it where needed for the purposes above, including to:
- counterparties to a potential transaction, but only with your agreement and generally under a confidentiality or non disclosure arrangement;
- professional advisers involved in a transaction, such as lawyers, accountants, technical consultants and brokers;
- service providers who support our business, such as website hosting, email and data management providers, who may only use the information to provide their services to us; and
- government bodies, regulators or others where required or authorised by law.
6. Communications and opting out
We may contact you about opportunities, services or developments that are relevant to your interests. We keep this discreet and targeted. You can ask us to stop at any time by replying to our message or emailing us, and we will action your request promptly.
7. Overseas disclosure
We work with international investors and partners. As a result, personal information may be disclosed to recipients outside Australia, including in the United Arab Emirates and other Middle Eastern countries, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the United States and other countries where our clients or counterparties are located. Some of our service providers may also store data overseas.
Where we disclose personal information overseas, we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient handles it consistently with the APPs, including through confidentiality arrangements.
8. Security and retention
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Access is limited to people who need it, and we use secured systems with password and access controls.
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes it was collected for, or as required by law. When it is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to destroy or de identify it.
9. Website and cookies
Our website uses cookies to keep it functioning, secure and performing well. Where non essential cookies are used, you can manage your preferences through the cookie banner or your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may affect how the site works.
Information submitted through our contact form is sent to our team and stored securely. Our website may link to third party sites, which have their own privacy practices.
10. Access and correction
You can ask to access the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date or incomplete. We will respond within a reasonable time, usually within 30 days. If we cannot meet your request, we will explain why, unless it would be unlawful or inappropriate to do so.
11. Questions and complaints
If you have a question or concern about how we handle your personal information, please contact us using the enquiry form on our website. We will acknowledge your complaint and aim to resolve it within 30 days.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The current version will always be available on this page.
