Kinds of Personal Information We Collect
We collect information that is reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities. This includes:
- Contact Information: Name, email address, telephone number, and postal address.
- Exitability Data: Through our Exitability Framework Index, we collect detailed business performance data and information regarding the Family Business Owner’s (FBO) professional goals and personal circumstances.
- Technical Data: Information collected via cookies such as IP addresses and website interaction data.
How We Collect Personal Information
We collect information through lawful and fair means:
- Directly from you: When you complete embedded website forms, subscribe to newsletters, or engage with the Exitability Framework Index.
- Third parties: We may occasionally receive information from referrals or list purchases, though we prefer direct collection wherever practicable.
Purpose of Collection, Use, and Disclosure
We collect and use your information for the following primary purposes:
- To provide assessments and indices (e.g., the Exitability Framework Index).
- To communicate with you regarding your enquiries or business assessments.
- To provide marketing materials (where you have a reasonable expectation or have consented to receive them).
Secondary Purposes: We will only use your information for a secondary purpose if you consent, or if you would reasonably expect us to do so and the purpose is related to the primary collection goal.
Disclosure to Third Parties
We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information to:
- Contracted Service Providers: IT hosting, cloud storage, or professional consultants assisting with the Exitability Framework Index.
- Overseas Recipients: We may use cloud service providers located outside Australia. Where we do, we take reasonable steps to ensure they comply with the APPs or are subject to substantially similar privacy laws.
Exitability Framework Index & Sensitive Information
The Exitability Framework Index may involve the collection of Sensitive Information (such as health information or professional affiliations) if relevant to an FBO’s exit strategy. We will only collect sensitive information with your express consent.
Security of Your Information
We take reasonable steps to protect your information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access. This includes technical measures (encryption, firewalls) and organisational measures (staff training, access controls). We destroy or de-identify information when it is no longer needed.
Access and Correction
You have a right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections.
- To make a request, please contact our Privacy Officer at the details below.
- We will respond to your request within a reasonable period (usually 30 days).

Additional Privacy Information
Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.
An anonymised string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.
If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.
When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.
If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognise and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.
For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.
