Genus’ privacy policy

Privacy policy & information gathering

A privacy policy is a declaration of what information is collected from website visitors and how that information is used.

We have adopted 10 Privacy Principles (listed below) based on the federal legislation to ensure that clients’ information is protected.

Genus will disclose information to third parties such as custodians, banks, trustees and other service providers only to enable them to fulfill their service obligations to the firm and its clients. For example: opening accounts, managing accounts, record keeping, tax statement production, processing instructions and executing client transactions.

1. What information do we collect?

We may collect, store and use the following kinds of personal data:

2. Cookies

A cookie consists of information sent by a web server to a web browser, and stored by the browser. The information is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. This enables the web server to identify and track the web browser.

We [may] use [both] [“session” cookies] [and “persistent” cookies] on the website. We will use the session cookies to: keep track of you whilst you navigate the website. We will use the persistent cookies to: enable our website to recognize you when you visit.

Session cookies will be deleted from your computer when you close your browser. Persistent cookies will remain stored on your computer until deleted, and will be automatically deleted after 12 months.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of this website. Google Analytics generates statistical and other information about website use by means of cookies, which are stored on users’ computers. The information generated relating to our website is used to create reports about the use of the website. Google will store this information. Google’s privacy policy is available at: http://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. Most browsers allow you to reject all cookies, while some browsers allow you to reject just third party cookies. For example, in Internet Explorer you can refuse all cookies by clicking “Tools”, “Internet Options”, “Privacy”, and selecting “Block all cookies” using the sliding selector. Blocking all cookies will, however, have a negative impact upon the usability of many websites, including this one.
