Privacy

The Privacy Act 1988 protects individuals' TFN information. The Office of the Privacy Commissioner has issued guidelines to assist in protecting your privacy by clearly explaining who can collect, store, use and disclose your TFN information.

Under the tax laws, if you choose to give your TFN to an investment body, they are legally required to record the TFN and pass it on to us.

If you believe that your privacy has been breached by the unauthorised collection, use or disclosure of your TFN, you should tell us - see More information.
