Parking Asset Advisory – Privacy Policy

Updated: May 2025

 

Introduction

Authentic CFO Pty Ltd trading as Parking Asset Advisory (“we”, “our” or “us”) is a small Australian company specialising in the leasing and property management of large commercial car parking assets. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information.

This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, disclose, and protect the personal information of our customers, website visitors, and others associated with our business. By accessing our services or providing us with your information, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

 

Our Commitment to Privacy

We comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), which govern how we collect, use, and manage your personal data. Our systems and processes are designed with privacy in mind.

 

What We Collect

We may collect personal information including:

  • Name and contact details (phone number, email, mailing address)

  • Business information (company name, job title, ABN)

  • Leasing or asset-related information

  • Any information you provide through enquiries, agreements, or advisory work

  • IP address, device type, browser type, and website interaction (via cookies or analytics)

We may also collect information from:

  • Third parties, such as property managers, leasing agents, or credit reporting bodies

  • Automated tools when you visit our website

If sensitive information is needed (e.g. identity verification for leasing), we’ll always seek your consent first.

 

How We Collect It

Your information is collected:

  • Directly from you—through emails, calls, forms, meetings, or website use

  • When you enquire about services, enter into leasing agreements, or engage with us

  • Automatically via cookies, analytics tools, or browsing behaviour

  • From authorised third parties, where lawful and appropriate

We aim to collect all information fairly, transparently, and securely.

 

Why We Collect It

We only collect the information needed to:

  • Provide leasing and advisory services

  • Process and manage leasing applications and agreements

  • Communicate with you, respond to enquiries, and provide support

  • Send service updates or occasional marketing (if you’ve opted in)

  • Improve our services and website experience

  • Meet legal and compliance obligations

  • Conduct internal analysis (using de-identified data)

 

Disclosure of Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share it:

  • With trusted third-party service providers (e.g. IT support, leasing platforms, customer service tools)

  • With business partners for joint service offerings (only where agreed)

  • If required by law, court order, or government authority

  • With your explicit consent

If we disclose information to parties outside Australia (e.g., cloud storage), we take reasonable steps to ensure they meet Australian privacy standards.

 

Data Security & Storage

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, or disclosure. These include electronic safeguards, restricted access, and secure platforms.

Although no data system can guarantee 100% security, we are committed to continual improvement of our protections.

 

Marketing & Communications

If you opt in, we may send you occasional updates about our services, promotions, or industry news. You can opt out at any time via an unsubscribe link or by contacting us directly.

We will never add you to a marketing list without your permission.

 

Your Privacy Rights

  • Access & Correction: You can request access to the personal information we hold about you and ask us to correct anything that is out of date, incomplete, or inaccurate.

  • Opt-out: You may opt out of marketing communications at any time.

  • Complaints: If you believe we’ve breached your privacy rights, please get in touch (see below). We take complaints seriously and aim to resolve them quickly.

 

Website Use & Cookies

Like many websites, ours may use cookies and analytics tools to understand visitor interactions. This helps us improve content and user experience.

We may track basic site metrics like IP address, browser type, and pages viewed, but do not use these to personally identify you. You can manage cookie preferences via your browser settings.

 

Overseas Disclosure

Some of our tools and platforms (e.g., email or cloud services) may store or process data overseas. In such cases, we ensure these providers handle data in line with Australian privacy requirements or equivalent standards.

 

Retention of Personal Information

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined above, or as required by law. When no longer needed, data is securely destroyed or de-identified.

 

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any updates will be posted to our website, and we’ll let you know if significant changes are made. The most current version is always available at www.parkingassetadvisory.com.
