PRIVACY POLICY

1. What is this Policy About?

HP Commodities Pty Ltd (HPC), ABN 97 628 324 998 / AFSL 567243, recognises the importance of ensuring that its clients have confidence in the way HPC handles personal information.

HPC is bound by, and committed to, the terms of the Privacy Act 1988 and the National Privacy Principles (NPP) forming part of that Act. Since March 2014 the NPP has been replaced by the Australian Privacy Principles (APP).

Unless clients state otherwise, the Privacy Act permits HPC to share the personal information which it holds with all of its companies. If related companies are entitled to use that personal information, they may only do so for the purposes for which the personal information was collected.

2. What is Personal Information?

Personal information is any information about a client, that identifies the client or by which the client’s identity can reasonably be ascertained.

· HPC will only collect information about a client that is necessary in order to adequately provide the services the client has requested.

· The use or disclosure of personal information collected by HPC is subject to approval by its Compliance Dept.

· HPC may be requested by regulators to provide certain personal information about clients and is by law obligated to provide such information.

· Clients can request to review personal information held by HPC by contacting their advisor or HPC Compliance Dept.

3. What Kinds of Personal Information does HPC Collect and Retain?

HPC only collects personal information that is necessary for one or more of its functions or activities.

HPC is subject to certain legislative and regulatory requirements which necessitate it obtaining and holding detailed information which personally identifies the clients and/or contains information or an opinion about clients (“Personal Information”).

HPC will not collect any Personal Information about a client except when the information provided to HPC is authorised by a client or a third party to provide that information. Generally, collection of personal information will be obtained in either face-to-face interviews, over the telephone or by way of a Client Agreement Form. From time to time additional and/or updated personal information may be collected through one or more of those methods.

In order to provide clients with a comprehensive advisory and dealing service in financial products, and to have a reasonable basis for recommendations made, HPC may request personal information to:

· determine credit worthiness;

· assist the client in gaining an understanding of a financial product;

· make financial products recommendations;

· execute financial products transactions on behalf of a client;

· clear and settle financial products transactions on a client’s behalf;

· invest in financial products on behalf of a client

4. How is Personal Information Collected?

Most information we hold about clients is collected from HPC’s Counterparties online Account Opening Process and through its Know Your Client (KYC) process. Information may also be collected over the phone or digitally. Sometimes, information about an individual is collected from other people or organisations. For example, information about a director of a corporate customer may be obtained from a public record relating to the company.

Regardless of how it is collected, all personal information is handled in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
