Privacy Policy
Effective 30 August 2026
Principia Ratio respects your privacy. This policy explains how we handle personal information when you visit principiaratio.com, contact us, or deal with us about our advisory services.
Scope
This policy applies to this public website and general enquiries made to Principia Ratio. A product, client engagement or other service may have additional privacy terms that we provide separately.
Where the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles apply, we handle personal information in accordance with them.
Information we collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- your name, role, organisation and contact details;
- the contents of enquiries, correspondence and feedback you send us;
- business information you choose to provide when discussing our services; and
- standard technical information generated when you use the site, such as your IP address, browser type, requested pages, date and time, and security or server logs.
Please do not send passwords, credentials, classified material or other sensitive information through the general enquiry address.
How we collect information
We usually collect personal information directly from you when you email us or otherwise communicate with us. Technical information may be collected automatically by the providers that host, deliver and protect this website.
Why we use it
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, assess and provide requested services, maintain business records, improve and secure our website, manage our relationships, and meet legal or regulatory obligations. We may also use it for another purpose you would reasonably expect, or with your consent.
Disclosure
We do not sell or rent personal information. We may disclose it where reasonably necessary to service providers that support our hosting, email, security or business operations; professional advisers; or regulators, law enforcement and other parties where authorised or required by law.
Overseas processing
Some technology providers operate globally and may process or store technical or contact information outside Australia, including in the United States. Where Australian privacy law applies, we take reasonable steps required by law when using overseas providers. The location used by a provider may change as its services evolve.
Cookies and third-party services
As at the effective date, this site does not use analytics or advertising trackers and does not set non-essential cookies. Our hosting and security providers may process standard request information and use technology necessary to deliver and protect the site. We also request a font from Google Fonts, which means your browser connects to Google when a page loads. If these practices change materially, we will update this policy and introduce consent controls where required.
Storage, security and retention
We use reasonable administrative and technical measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure. We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected, our legitimate business records, and applicable legal obligations, then delete or de-identify it where appropriate.
Access and correction
You may ask to access personal information we hold about you or request a correction. We may need to verify your identity and may refuse a request where the law permits or requires us to do so. If that happens, we will explain the reason where we can.
Privacy questions and complaints
Contact us with a privacy question, access or correction request, or complaint. Please include enough detail for us to investigate. We will acknowledge and respond within a reasonable period.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy when our practices or legal obligations change. The effective date above shows when it was last revised.
