Abetta Realty Pty Ltd T/As One Agency Caboolture · Morayfield (“we”, “us”, “our”) understands and respects the importance of protecting your personal information.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store, and manage personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

This policy applies to all individuals whose personal information we handle, including landlords, tenants, buyers, sellers, applicants, contractors, suppliers, and members of the public.

 

2. What Is Personal Information?

Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

This may include, but is not limited to:

 

  • name;
  • address;
  • contact details;
  • date of birth;
  • identification documents;
  • financial information; and
  • information relating to your property or tenancy.

 

Some information we collect may be considered sensitive information (such as identity documents or financial details). We only collect sensitive information where it is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities and where permitted by law.

  • conducting inspections and open homes;
  • communicating with clients and enquirers;
  • complying with legal and regulatory obligations;
  • internal business operations; and
  • marketing our services (where permitted and with consent where required).

 If you choose not to provide certain personal information, we may be unable to provide some or all of our services.

 

4. Types of Personal Information We Collect

Depending on your relationship with us, we may collect:

  • via application forms and agreements;
  • by phone, email, text message, or post;

We may also collect personal information from third parties where lawful and reasonable, including:

Where you provide us with personal information relating to another individual, you confirm that you are authorised to do so and that the individual has been made aware of this Privacy Policy where required.

 

6. Open Homes and Inspections

When you attend an open home or inspection, we may collect your personal information for security, safety, and follow-up purposes.

 

Providing this information is voluntary; however, we may be unable to permit entry without it.

Information collected at inspections is not used for direct marketing unless you have provided consent or it is otherwise permitted by law.

 

7. Use and Disclosure of Personal Information

We use and disclose personal information only for the purpose for which it was collected, for a related purpose you would reasonably expect, or where required or authorised by law.

This may include disclosure to:

  • strata managers and owners corporations;
  • tenancy reference databases (where permitted);
  • professional advisers, including legal and accounting advisers;

  • IT and business service providers.

We take reasonable steps to ensure third parties only use personal information for authorised purposes

You may opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by contacting us or using the unsubscribe function in our communications.

 

We do not require tenants or applicants to consent to marketing in order to receive our services.

 

9. Overseas Disclosure

Some of our service providers may store or process information outside Australia (for example, cloud-based software providers).

Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information in a manner consistent with Australian privacy standards, or we will obtain your consent where required.
