"Personal information" is information we hold which is identifiable as being about you.
  1. RiskWise Property Research will, from time to time, receive and store personal information you enter onto our website, provided to us directly or given to us in other forms.
  2. You may provide basic information such as your name, phone number, address and email address to enable us to send information, provide updates and process your product or service order. We may collect additional information at other times, including but not limited to, when you provide feedback, when you provide information about your personal or business affairs, change your content or email preference, respond to surveys and/or promotions, provide financial or credit card information, or communicate with our customer support.

General Purpose of Collection

All personal information that we collect is reasonably necessary for the purposes relating to providing our products and services.
We will not collect personal information unless the information is reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, one or more of our functions or activities. If we are unable to collect the personal information we reasonably require, we may not be able to do business with you or the organisation with which you are connected.
We predominantly collect information about residential properties. Whilst much of this information is not personal information, some of the information we collect on its own, or when matched with other information, may be personal information about you. The types of personal information we may collect include:
  1. Identifying information such as name, address, phone number, email address
  2. Contact information such as home address, home and mobile phone numbers and email address
  3. Bank account and credit card details for our customers, users and subscribers
  4. Information pertaining to products and services ordered from us, and their use
  5. Officeholder, directorship and shareholder information
  6. Telephone directory information
  7. You generally have the right not to identify yourself when dealing with us where it is lawful and practicable for us to allow it. However, if you do not provide or authorise the provision of personal information we request, we may be unable to provide you with some or all of our products and services, or the product and services of third parties.

Non-personal Information - Property Related Data and Information

We also collect data about your property which is not personal. For example:
  • Property sales information – sales prices and addresses, on their own, do not amount to personal information as this data is not connected to an individual
  • Historical sales for your property – this is not information about you, but rather the price obtained by an unidentified previous owner of the property
  • Property attribute information, such as number of bedrooms, bathrooms, garage or car spaces and land size etc
  • Building and construction data, such as construction materials, building characteristics, construction costs and replacement costs

Direct Collection

If it is reasonable and practical to do so, we will collect personal information directly from you. This will include contact details and other information relevant to providing services to you. This may take place in a number of ways, such as:
  • When you sign up for products or services
  • Order a product or service from us
  • Subscribe to a newsletter
  • Complete a form on our website
  • When you provide us with corrected or updated information about you or a property you own
We may also collect personal information from third parties such as your representatives and/or publicly available sources of information.
