Disclosure of your information

government and regulatory authorities, as required or authorised by law.

Our representatives and the outsourcing companies/contractors are obliged to respect the confidentiality of any personal information held by us.

The Corporations Act 2001 has provided the Australian Securities and Investments Commission with the authority to inspect certain personal information that is kept on our files about you.

We take our obligations to protect your information seriously including when we operate throughout Australia and overseas. As part of our operations some uses and disclosures of your information may occur outside your State or Territory and/or outside of Australia.

We will only disclose your personal information to a third party to provide you with a service that you requested or the services offered by the issuer of securities.

Cross-border disclosure of personal information

We have partnered with several trusted partners to provide digital services including IT, marketing and communication services that may be performed overseas and as a result your personal information may be disclosed to a recipient in a foreign country.

While it is not reasonably practicable to list all of the countries to which your Personal Information may be disclosed from time to time, it is likely that such countries may include Portugal, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States.

The partners and providers limit their access to your personal information to the extent necessary to do their job.

Some of these partners may have data centres in other locations outside of Australia. For example, personal information that we have collected directly from you, your personnel or from other representatives of your company are stored on servers overseas. By providing your personal information to us, you consent to the transfer of that information to our third party partners who are located outside of Australia for that purpose.

Cake Equity may from time to time use your personal information for the purpose of marketing its products and services offered by us or by the issuer of your securities. We may send you marketing material through post, email and SMS.

If you would like to update your communication preferences or opt-out of receiving marketing material from us or for any of your security holdings maintained by us, please contact us.

Access & correction to information collected

You can request to access your personal information we hold at any time by sending an email to hello@cakeequity.com. Depending on the volume or difficulty in obtaining the information, we may charge a fee that covers our costs.

There may be situations where we are not required to provide you with access to your personal information, and we will set out the reasons for this. An example of this would be where the information related to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, or if your request was vexatious. We will contact you within a reasonable timeframe to provide the outcome of our investigation.

You may also request to correct any of your personal information we hold if it is incorrect, inaccurate or out of date by sending an email to hello@cakeequity.com. We will generally rely on you to assist us in informing us if the information we hold about you is inaccurate or incomplete.

Depending on the request we may update your personal information immediately, or we may provide an initial response to you within seven days of receiving your request. Where reasonable, and after our investigation, we will provide you with details about whether we have corrected the personal or credit information within 30 days from your initial request.

We may have to consult with external entities as part of your request to access or correct your personal information.

Using government related identifiers

If we collect government related identifiers, such as your Drivers Licence Number or Tax File Number, we do not use or disclose this information other than to the extent required by law. For instance, we will never adopt your Tax File Number as your account number to identify you.

Security and storage of information

We will take reasonable steps to protect your personal information by storing it in a secure environment, and when the information is no longer needed for any purpose for which the information may be used or disclosed, it will be destroyed or permanently de-identified.
