Your privacy
Personal information collection
The purpose for which we collect your information is to provide superannuation benefits, administer your benefits, and provide related services, information, and offers to you. This includes processing your application, managing your participation in Australian Retirement Trust, providing you with information about your benefits and our available services, and ensuring you receive your entitlements. We will generally collect your personal information directly from you, your authorised representatives, your employer or other third parties, such as the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). If the information we request is not provided, we may be unable to properly administer your benefits and notify you about your entitlements.
We may disclose your personal information to entities within the Australian Retirement Trust Group, our service providers and advisers, medical and health professionals, regulators and government bodies, or to other third parties if we need to or if you have given consent to the disclosure. This includes but is not limited to the Fund’s administration service provider, insurers, auditors and legal advisers. We also might be required by law to disclose information about you, for example to government bodies such as the ATO. We may also disclose information to third-party service providers in various countries, as described in our Privacy Policy.
For more information, please read our Privacy Policy which sets out the types of information we collect and how we collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information. Our Privacy Policy also describes how you can access information about your benefit and personal details, correct any information which is inaccurate or out-of-date, and information on our privacy complaints process. We are committed to respecting the privacy of personal information you give us. Our Privacy Policy may be updated from time to time and is available at australianretirementtrust.com.au/privacy or by contacting us.
