Privacy Policy

We understand that information shared in connection with a business sale, acquisition, valuation or exit-readiness engagement can be both commercially sensitive and deeply personal. This policy explains how we handle personal information with care, discretion and accountability.

G&G Advisory Partners Pty Ltd

ABN 47 701 174 478 | Effective 12 August 2026

G&G Advisory Partners Pty Ltd (G&G, we, us or our) provides mergers and acquisitions, business sale, acquisition, valuation, exit-readiness and related corporate advisory services.

This policy explains how we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information, how individuals may access or correct their information, and how privacy concerns may be raised. We are committed to complying with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs), to the extent they apply to us. We may also choose to follow these standards as a matter of good practice where they do not strictly apply.

This policy applies to personal information handled through our website, enquiries, professional relationships, mandates and transaction processes. It does not form part of our website terms of use or any client engagement agreement.

01.01

What is personal information?

Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information is true or not and whether it is recorded in a material form or not.

Sensitive information is a category of personal information that includes information about matters such as a person's health, racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, political opinions, professional or trade association membership, union membership, sexual orientation or practices, biometric information and criminal record.

01.02

Personal information we may collect and hold

The kinds of personal information we collect and hold depend on the nature of our relationship with you and the transaction or service involved. They may include:

  • identity and contact information, including names, job titles, addresses, telephone numbers and email addresses;
  • professional and business information, including employment history, qualifications, directorships, shareholdings, business interests and professional relationships;
  • financial and transaction information, including ownership interests, remuneration, bank or payment details, financial position, tax information and information relevant to valuing or negotiating a business or transaction;
  • verification and compliance information, including identification documents and information collected for conflict, sanctions, anti-money laundering, fraud prevention or other legal and risk-management checks;
  • information contained in transaction materials or data rooms, which may include information about directors, shareholders, employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, guarantors and other stakeholders;
  • communications and records of our dealings with you, including meeting notes, correspondence, instructions, preferences, complaints and feedback;
  • website and technical information, including IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, referral source, cookies and similar technologies; and
  • marketing preferences and information about attendance at events or engagement with our communications.

Where lawful and reasonably necessary, we may also collect sensitive information. We do not seek to collect sensitive information merely because it is included in a broader transaction file.

01.03

How we collect personal information

We may collect personal information:

  • directly from you, including through meetings, calls, emails, website forms, questionnaires, engagement documents and other communications;
  • from our clients, prospective clients, transaction counterparties, buyers, sellers, investors, lenders and their respective representatives;
  • from professional advisers and service providers, including lawyers, accountants, consultants, insurers, brokers and due-diligence providers;
  • through virtual data rooms, management presentations, financial models, reports and other transaction materials;
  • from referees, introducers, industry contacts and referral partners;
  • from publicly available sources, including company registers, professional profiles, websites, media, court or regulatory records and commercial databases; and
  • automatically when you use our website or interact with our electronic communications.

Where reasonable and practicable, we collect personal information directly from the individual concerned. If we receive unsolicited personal information, we will determine whether we could lawfully have collected it. If not, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it, unless we are required or authorised by law to retain it.

You may interact with us anonymously or using a pseudonym where lawful and practicable. In many advisory and transaction contexts, however, we need to know who we are dealing with and may be unable to provide services without sufficient identifying information.

01.04

Why we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information

We may handle personal information for purposes including to:

  • respond to enquiries and assess whether and how we can assist;
  • provide, administer and improve our advisory services, including business sales, acquisitions, valuations and exit-readiness engagements;
  • prepare transaction materials, identify and engage potential buyers or targets, evaluate strategic fit, conduct or coordinate due diligence, support valuation analysis, negotiate and complete transactions;
  • communicate with clients, prospective clients, counterparties and advisers, manage relationships and provide updates;
  • verify identity, authority and ownership, undertake conflict and risk checks, and comply with legal, regulatory, professional and contractual obligations;
  • protect confidential information, prevent fraud or misconduct, manage disputes and establish, exercise or defend legal claims;
  • engage suppliers, administer contracts, issue invoices, process payments and maintain business records;
  • operate, secure, analyse and improve our website, systems and business processes;
  • send relevant insights, event invitations and other marketing communications in accordance with law; and
  • carry out internal governance, insurance, audit, training, quality assurance, business planning and reporting.

We may use or disclose personal information for a related secondary purpose where you would reasonably expect us to do so, with your consent, or where otherwise required or authorised by law.

01.05

Transaction and due-diligence information

M&A processes can involve information about people who are not directly engaging us, including employees, contractors, customers, suppliers, shareholders and guarantors. We may receive this information from a client or another transaction participant and handle it to the extent reasonably necessary for the mandate, subject to confidentiality arrangements and applicable law.

Clients and other persons providing transaction materials should only provide personal information that is reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose. Where practicable, personal information should be aggregated, de-identified or redacted before it is uploaded to a data room or shared with potential transaction participants. Particularly sensitive records—such as identity documents, health information, individual bank details or full employee files—should not be provided unless specifically requested and a lawful basis and appropriate safeguards have been established.

01.06

Sensitive information

We will generally collect sensitive information only with the individual's consent and where it is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities, or where another exception under applicable law permits collection. We will use and disclose sensitive information only for the purpose for which it was collected, for a directly related purpose where permitted, with consent, or as required or authorised by law.

01.07

Who we may disclose personal information to

Depending on the circumstances and subject to applicable confidentiality obligations, we may disclose personal information to:

  • our clients and their authorised personnel;
  • actual or prospective buyers, sellers, acquisition targets, investors, lenders, funders, counterparties and their representatives where authorised or reasonably necessary for a transaction process;
  • professional advisers and transaction service providers, including legal, accounting, tax, financial, insurance, valuation, specialist due-diligence and consulting providers;
  • technology and operational service providers, including cloud hosting, data-room, document management, customer relationship management, cybersecurity, website, analytics, communications and payment providers;
  • our insurers, auditors and other advisers;
  • courts, regulators, law-enforcement bodies, government agencies or other persons where required or authorised by law; and
  • a purchaser, investor or successor in connection with a proposed or completed sale, merger, reorganisation or transfer of all or part of our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality and privacy protections.

We do not sell personal information.

01.08

Overseas disclosures

Some recipients of personal information may be located outside Australia. This may occur where a transaction involves overseas buyers, targets, investors, advisers or counterparties, or where our technology and service providers operate or store information overseas.

The countries involved will depend on the particular transaction and the systems we use. They may include New Zealand, the United Kingdom, the United States, countries in the European Economic Area, and other jurisdictions in which relevant transaction participants or service providers are located. It is not always practicable to identify every country in advance.

Where required, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that an overseas recipient handles personal information consistently with the APPs, unless an exception applies. Overseas recipients may be subject to different privacy laws and, in some circumstances, foreign authorities may lawfully access information held in their jurisdiction.

01.09

Our website, cookies and analytics

When you visit our website, our systems and service providers may collect technical information such as your IP address, browser and device type, pages viewed, time and date of access and the website from which you arrived. We may use cookies, analytics tools, pixels and similar technologies to operate and secure the website, remember preferences, understand usage and improve our services and communications.

You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies. Doing so may affect how parts of the website function. Where required, we will seek consent before using non-essential tracking technologies. Third-party tools are also subject to their providers' privacy policies.

01.10

Direct marketing

We may use personal information to send professional updates, insights, invitations and information about services that we reasonably believe may be relevant to you, where permitted by law. You may opt out at any time by using the unsubscribe facility in a communication or contacting us. We will action opt-out requests within a reasonable period and will not charge you for doing so.

01.11

How we protect personal information

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Measures may include access controls, multi-factor authentication, secure cloud and data-room platforms, encryption where appropriate, confidentiality obligations, staff training, vendor due diligence, backups and incident-response processes.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure. While we take reasonable steps to protect information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. If you become aware of a suspected privacy or security incident involving information held by us, please contact our Privacy Officer promptly.

01.12

Retention and disposal

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to meet legal, regulatory, insurance and professional obligations, to resolve disputes and to maintain appropriate business records. Client and transaction files will generally be retained for at least seven years after completion of the relevant engagement or transaction, and may be retained longer where reasonably necessary or required by law.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy it securely or de-identify it, subject to any legal or legitimate retention requirement. Backup copies may remain for a limited period until overwritten in the ordinary course.

01.13

Access to and correction of personal information

You may request access to personal information we hold about you or ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. Please contact our Privacy Officer using the details below and provide enough information for us to identify you and the relevant records.

We may need to verify your identity before responding. We will respond within a reasonable period. We will not charge for making a request, although we may charge a reasonable amount for the cost of providing access where permitted by law. In some circumstances, the law permits or requires us to refuse access or correction. If so, we will generally provide written reasons and information about available complaint mechanisms, unless it would be unreasonable or unlawful to do so.

01.14

Privacy complaints

If you believe we have mishandled your personal information or breached an applicable privacy obligation, please contact our Privacy Officer. Please describe the issue and provide any relevant supporting information.

We will acknowledge the complaint and aim to provide a substantive response within 30 days. If more time is needed, we will let you know. We will investigate fairly, keep you informed where appropriate and explain the outcome and any steps we propose to take.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC). Information about making a complaint is available at www.oaic.gov.au/privacy/privacy-complaints.

01.15

Data breaches

We maintain processes for responding to suspected data breaches. Where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme applies and a breach is likely to result in serious harm, we will assess the incident and notify affected individuals and the OAIC as required by law. We may also notify individuals in other circumstances where we consider it appropriate to help them protect themselves.

01.16

Third-party websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites and encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing personal information.

01.17

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes to our practices, services, technology or legal obligations. The current version will be published on our website and will state its effective date. Material changes may also be notified through other appropriate channels.

G&G provides mergers and acquisitions, business sale, acquisition, valuation, exit-readiness and related corporate advisory services (Advisory Services). The Website provides general information about G&G, our experience, our approach and matters relevant to businesses, owners and acquirers.

In these Terms, Content means all text, reports, articles, transaction commentary, graphics, photographs, videos, downloads, branding, software and other material made available through the Website.

02.03

3. General information only

Website Content is provided for general information only. It is not financial product advice, investment advice, legal advice, tax advice, accounting advice, valuation advice or a recommendation to enter into, avoid or complete any transaction.

Business values, transaction outcomes and market conditions depend on facts that may not be apparent from publicly available information. Any valuation ranges, transaction multiples, case studies, market observations, forecasts or examples on the Website are illustrative or historical only. They are not a promise, prediction or guarantee of value, timing, saleability or outcome.

You should obtain advice appropriate to your circumstances before acting or refraining from acting in reliance on Website Content. You remain responsible for your own decisions and enquiries.

02.04

4. No adviser-client relationship or offer

Accessing the Website, downloading Content, subscribing to updates or contacting us does not create an adviser-client, fiduciary, confidential or other professional relationship between you and G&G.

G&G only accepts an advisory engagement after completing its acceptance procedures and entering into a written engagement agreement with the relevant client. Until then, we do not owe you duties arising from an advisory engagement and may act for another person whose interests differ from or conflict with yours, subject to law and our professional obligations.

Nothing on the Website constitutes an offer to provide Advisory Services, an offer or invitation to buy or sell a business, security or financial product, or a representation that any opportunity is available. We may accept or decline a proposed engagement in our discretion.

02.05

5. Engagement agreements prevail

If G&G provides Advisory Services to you, those services will be governed by a separate written engagement agreement, mandate letter or other agreed terms. If there is any inconsistency between these Terms and that agreement in relation to the Advisory Services, the engagement agreement prevails to the extent of the inconsistency.

02.06

Unless we have agreed otherwise in writing, do not send confidential transaction information, data-room materials, personal identity documents, legally privileged material or other sensitive information through a general Website form. An enquiry does not create confidentiality obligations beyond those imposed by law or expressly accepted by us. If we ask you to provide sensitive material, use the secure method we nominate.

You retain ownership of material you submit. You grant us a non-exclusive right to use, reproduce and disclose it to the extent reasonably necessary to respond to your enquiry, operate and secure the Website, comply with law and exercise or defend legal rights, subject to our Privacy Policy and any applicable written confidentiality agreement.

We take reasonable care in preparing the Website, but Content may be incomplete, generalised, out of date or affected by errors or omissions. Market, regulatory and transaction information can change quickly. We do not undertake to update Content or notify users when it changes.
