Privacy Policy

WHAT IS PERSONAL INFORMATION
For the purpose of this policy and the Act “Personal Information” means information or an opinion (including information or an opinion forming part of a document or other source), whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about a person whose identity is apparent, or can be reasonably ascertained, from the information or opinion. Personal information may include:

• name, gender and date of birth
• contact details such as address, phone number and email address
• bank account details for direct crediting of distributions and redemptions
• investment information about your holding in our products
• login details for our website
• Tax File Number/Australian Business Number, if you have chosen to disclose it
  responses to our surveys
• any personal information necessary for the purposes of the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006.

To assist Tamim in providing quality services, it is important that the information you entrust to us is accurate and complete. You can help us to keep your information up to date by contacting us immediately if your contact details change.

We may also collect personal information if authorised or required by an Australian law or court or tribunal order to collect that information. We will tell you if collection is required or authorised by law and provide you with details of the law, court or tribunal order. For example, when you make an application for a financial product Tamim is required under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act to collect certain information from you to prove your identity, such as your driver’s licence or passport details. Tamim may collect your Australian tax file number (TFN). It is not compulsory to provide your TFN, but if you do not, Tamim may deduct withholding tax from your distribution payments at the highest marginal rate. Tamim will collect your TFN to determine whether you are subject to withholding tax on any distribution payments you receive and for communication purposes of distribution payments to the Australian Taxation Office. If Tamim collects your TFN, we will handle your TFN in accordance with the Privacy Act and Guidelines issued by the Commissioner.

Tamim may also be required to ask about your tax residency status under taxation information sharing agreements the Australian Government has in place with other countries. As an example, a tax treaty between Australia and the United States formed under US law (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act) requires Tamim to ask investors in our applications whether they are US citizens or US tax residents when they make an application. If you are a tax resident of another country, the relevant treaty or law may require us to collect your relevant foreign tax identification number.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION THAT IS SENSITIVE
Sensitive information is personal information including a person’s racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual orientation or practices, criminal record, genetic information or health information.

Tamim will not collect, use or disclose sensitive information about you unless we need the information for one of our functions or activities and we have your consent (or we are legally required to do so).

If Tamim uses your personal information for direct marketing of its products or services, it will provide you with the opportunity, at the point of our first contact and at any time afterwards at your request to decline receipt of any further marketing information. Otherwise, Tamim will neither use nor disclose your Personal Information that is not related to the purpose for which we collected your information in the first place without your consent, unless:

A) It is required for public health or public safety or other emergency reasons; or
B) It is required to investigate or report suspected fraud or unlawful activity; or
C) It is required or authorised by law; or
D) Tamim believes that the use or disclosure is reasonably necessary for one or more of the following by or on behalf of an enforcement body:

• the enforcement of laws relating to the confiscation of the proceeds of crime;

DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We will not disclose personal information collected by us for any purpose other than where you have consented to the disclosure; or where the National Privacy Principles authorise use or disclosure where required or authorised by law, in circumstances relating to public health and safety, social security and taxation in connection with certain operations by or on behalf of an enforcement body.

In relation to our role as a financial service provider we are required pursuant to the Corporations Act to maintain certain transaction records with regards to your investment in our products and make those records available for inspection to the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

We may disclose personal information to external service providers such as fund managers, custodians, brokers, portfolio and self managed superannuation fund administration, credit assistance, legal services and property investment and related services, mailing houses and auditors for the purpose of giving effect to the service provided by us. These external parties are only authorised to use personal information for the purpose for which Tamim supplied it. Those organisations are not authorised to use that information for their own purposes.

SENDING INFORMATION OVERSEAS
We may send your information overseas, including to overseas Group members and to service providers or other third parties who operate or hold data outside Australia. Where we do this, we make sure that appropriate data handling and security arrangements are in place. Please note that Australian law may not apply to some of these entities. We may also send information overseas to complete a particular transaction, such as an International Money Transfer, or where this is required by laws and regulations of Australia or another country.
