Privacy Collection Notice
Version 2026-09-16.1 · effective 16 Sept 2026
This notice is given under Australian Privacy Principle 5 at the time you provide personal information to us — in an enquiry through our website, or in your funding application.
Who is collecting your information
Legal Finance Group Pty Ltd (ACN 690 811 299, ABN 31 690 811 299), contactable at privacy@legalfinancegroup.com.au.
Why we are collecting it
To assess your application for litigation funding, to verify your identity as required by the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006, and — if we fund your matter — to administer the facility and pay your lawyer. If you have sent us an enquiry through our website, we use your name and contact details to reply to you and to see whether we can help.
Where else we collect it from
From your lawyer, with your authority; from valuers and other professionals engaged on the matter; from the court record where it is public, and from public registers such as the National Personal Insolvency Index; and, only if you consent, from a credit reporting body. If you came to our website from an advertisement or a link, we also record the campaign tags your browser carried and the page you came from, so that we know which channels bring enquiries.
What happens if you do not provide it
If you do not provide the information we ask for, or do not permit us to verify your identity, we will not be able to assess or fund your application.
Who we usually disclose it to
Your lawyer and their firm; valuers and other professionals engaged on the matter; our funders; a credit reporting body if you consent to a credit check; and the service providers who host and operate our systems. Some of those providers are located outside Australia, principally in the United States — see section 8 of our Privacy Policy.
Sensitive information
Your application asks whether you have been bankrupt, are involved in other proceedings, have been charged with a criminal offence, and whether your matter involves family violence or the care of children. We ask because these facts affect the risk and the conduct of the matter. By answering, you consent to us collecting that information for those purposes.
Identity documents
We must verify your identity before we can fund you, and the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 requires us to keep a record of that verification for seven years and, in some circumstances, to report to AUSTRAC. After we verify you, we record what we verified and destroy the copy of the identity document — we do not keep images of your licence or passport once the check is complete. If we verify a document electronically through the Australian Government's Document Verification Service, we will ask for your express consent first.
