      \u2022 Date of Birth,

      Where reasonably possible and practical, we will only obtain information directly from you or with your consent to gain information from a third party, in relation to certain products or other details. This may take the form of face to face meetings, telephone discussions, email correspondence, data collection forms, electronic means and from maintaining records during the course of providing ongoing financial services.
      You can elect not to provide us with your personal and sensitive information. However, in doing so we may not be able to provide you with the financial services requested. Alternatively, it may expose you to higher risks in respect of the recommendations made to you as it may affect the appropriateness of the financial advice or service provided to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. HOW WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION
        We generally collect personal information directly from you. For example, personal information will be collected through our application processes, forms and other interactions with you in the course of providing you with our products and services, including when you visit our website, use a mobile app from us, call us or send us correspondence.
        We may also collect personal information about you from a third party, such as electronic verification services and referrers. If so, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of this Policy and Collection Statement. We may also use third parties to analyse traffic at our website, which may involve the use of cookies. Information collected through such analysis is anonymous.
        We will not collect sensitive information about you without your consent unless an exemption in the APPs applies. These exceptions include if the collection is required or authorised by law or necessary to take appropriate action in relation to suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct.
        If the personal information we request is not provided by you, we may not be able to provide you with the benefit of our services or meet your needs appropriately.
        We do not give you the option of dealing with them anonymously or under a pseudonym. This is because it is impractical and in some circumstances illegal, for Redgum Wealth Group to deal with individuals who are not identified.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
          \n

            \u2022 date of birth, and
            \u2022 residential address.
