This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store and provide access to personal information. We may update this policy from time to time, with any changes published on our website.

1. Collection of your information

We collect personal information where it is reasonably necessary for our business and the legal services we provide.

The information we collect will depend on the nature of our relationship with you and the work we undertake. Where practicable, we collect personal information directly from you, although information may also be provided to us by other parties in connection with a legal matter or our services.

2. Use and disclosure of your information

We generally use personal information for the purpose for which it was collected, including providing legal services, communicating with clients and managing our business.

We may disclose personal information where reasonably necessary in connection with our services, where you have provided consent, or where disclosure is required or permitted by law.

If you receive marketing communications from Melino Legal and no longer wish to receive them, you can contact us and ask to be removed from our communications.

3. Data quality and security

We take reasonable steps to:

• Ensure the personal information we collect, use and disclose is accurate, complete and up to date;

• Protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure; and

• Securely destroy or de-identify personal information when it is no longer required, subject to our legal and professional obligations to retain certain records.

4. Access to and correction of your information

You may request access to personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct information you believe is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
