Last updated: 30 January 2026

Born Legal Pty Ltd (ABN 44 692 746 464) (we, us or our) is committed to protecting your privacy and handling personal information in an open and transparent way, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect personal information.

1. WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION?

Personal information means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is true or not and whether recorded in a material form.

2. PERSONAL INFORMATION WE COLLECT

We may collect and hold personal information including (but not limited to):

  • names, job titles and contact details (such as email addresses, phone numbers and business addresses);

  • information about your business or organisation;

  • billing and payment information;

  • information you provide when engaging our legal services;

  • correspondence and communications with us; and

  • any other information necessary to provide our services or comply with our legal obligations.

We generally collect personal information directly from you. In some circumstances, we may collect information from third parties (for example, referees, counterparties, publicly available sources or service providers).

3. WHY WE COLLECT, USE AND DISCLOSE PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect, use and disclose personal information for purposes including:

  • providing legal and professional services;

  • managing client relationships and communications;

  • billing and payment processing;

  • complying with our legal, regulatory and professional obligations;

  • internal administration and business operations; and

  • marketing our services (where permitted by law).

We will only use or disclose personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, or a related purpose that you would reasonably expect, unless otherwise required or permitted by law.

4. DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may disclose personal information to:

  • our employees, contractors and professional advisers;

  • courts, tribunals and regulatory bodies;

  • third-party service providers (such as IT, cloud storage, billing or administrative service providers);

  • counterparties and their advisers in connection with legal matters; and

  • any other person or entity where required or authorised by law.

We take reasonable steps to ensure that third parties handle personal information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

5. OVERSEAS DISCLOSURE

In some circumstances, personal information may be disclosed to recipients located outside Australia (for example, where overseas service providers or counterparties are involved).

Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that overseas recipients handle personal information in a manner consistent with Australian privacy laws, unless an exception under the Privacy Act applies.

6. SECURITY OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. These steps include physical, electronic and managerial safeguards.

If we no longer need personal information for any purpose for which it may be used or disclosed, and we are not required by law to retain it, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.

7. ACCESS AND CORRECTION

You may request access to personal information we hold about you and request corrections if you believe the information is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

Requests for access or correction should be made in writing using the contact details below. We may charge a reasonable fee for providing access, where permitted by law.

8. DIRECT MARKETING

We may use personal information to provide information about our services that may be of interest to you. You may opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by contacting us or using any unsubscribe facility provided.
