Information we collect

We do not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use this directory. However, like most websites, we collect certain information automatically when you visit.

Usage data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, search terms entered, browser type, device type and approximate location derived from IP address. This information is collected in aggregate and is not linked to any individual.

Location data: If you use the "Near me" feature on the interactive map, your browser will ask permission to share your location. This is used only to centre the map on your area and is not stored on our servers. Your last known location is stored in your browser's local storage on your device only.

Cookies

This site uses cookies - small text files stored on your device - for the following purposes.

Analytics cookies: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site. Google Analytics collects information about your visit including pages viewed, time on site and how you arrived. This data is aggregated and anonymous. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising cookies: This site uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings or by visiting aboutads.info.

Functional cookies: We use your browser's local storage to remember your last map location so the map opens in a relevant area on your next visit. This data stays on your device and is never transmitted to our servers.

Adviser and firm data

Adviser and firm information displayed on this site is sourced from the ASIC Financial Advisers Register, a public register maintained by the Australian government. This information is publicly available and its publication on this site is consistent with ASIC's intent in maintaining a public register.

If you are a financial adviser and believe information about you on this site is inaccurate, please contact us at enquiries@financialadvisersnearme.com.au with your ASIC registration number and details of the inaccuracy. Note that we source data directly from the ASIC register - if the inaccuracy originates with ASIC, you will need to update your details with ASIC directly.

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect information held on our systems from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Our website is served over HTTPS. We do not store payment card information.

Links to other websites

This site contains links to external websites including ASIC, MoneySmart and other third party resources. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites and recommend you review their privacy policies separately.

Your rights

Under the Australian Privacy Act 1988, you have the right to request access to personal information we hold about you and to request correction of that information if it is inaccurate. Given the nature of this site, we hold very little personal information about visitors.

To make a privacy request or complaint, contact us at enquiries@financialadvisersnearme.com.au. We will respond within a reasonable time and in accordance with our obligations under the Privacy Act.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.
