15. Information About Other Individuals

Where an individual provides personal information about another person, such as a referee, authorised representative or emergency contact, they should ensure they have an appropriate basis for providing that information.

Where reasonably practicable, they should inform the other person that their information may be provided to Morning Property.

Morning Property will handle such information in accordance with applicable privacy requirements.

  • Prepare certain agreements.

  • Register an auction bidder.

Morning Property will not require information that it is prohibited from collecting or reject a tenancy application solely because an applicant declines to provide information that cannot lawfully be required.

17. Website, Cookies and Online Services

Morning Property's website and associated service providers may collect technical information necessary for website functionality, security, performance monitoring and service delivery.

Depending on the technology used, this may include:

  • IP address.

  • Browser and device information.

  • Pages visited.

  • Date and time of access.

  • Referring websites.

  • Website enquiries and form activity.

  • Cookies and related website usage information.

Individuals may be able to manage cookies through their browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. These websites may operate under separate privacy policies.

Individuals should review the privacy practices of external websites before providing personal information.

18. Information Storage and Third-Party Technology

Morning Property stores and manages personal information through its internal office systems and Australian-based software platforms used for real estate, property management, leasing, sales and strata management operations.

Personal information may be held in electronic form or in physical records maintained at our business premises.

Access is restricted to authorised personnel and service providers who require information for legitimate business purposes.

Morning Property takes reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

Australian-based software providers may use cloud infrastructure, subcontractors or support services located outside Australia.

Morning Property does not intentionally disclose personal information to overseas recipients as part of its ordinary business operations. However, the use of Australian-based software does not necessarily mean that all information is stored or accessed exclusively within Australia.

Where overseas disclosure occurs, Morning Property will comply with applicable Australian privacy requirements.

We take reasonable steps to assess the privacy and security arrangements of service providers handling personal information on our behalf.

19. Rental Application Assessment and Automated Decision-Making

Morning Property assesses residential tenancy applications manually through its authorised personnel.

Decisions concerning prospective tenants are made through human assessment of information lawfully collected during the application process, including relevant rental history, financial capacity and authorised reference checks.

Morning Property does not use artificial intelligence or automated decision-making systems to independently approve or reject residential tenancy applications.

Electronic property management and administrative software may be used to record, organise and process information, but such systems do not replace human decision-making in the approval or rejection of rental applications.

All assessments are subject to applicable NSW residential tenancy, privacy and anti-discrimination legislation.

20. Direct Marketing and Communications

Morning Property may communicate with individuals about property listings, market updates and agency services where permitted by law.

We comply with applicable privacy and electronic marketing legislation.

Where required, marketing communications will contain an unsubscribe or opt-out mechanism.

Individuals may request that Morning Property stop sending direct marketing communications by contacting our office.

Information collected solely for residential tenancy application assessment will not be used for unrelated marketing without a lawful basis.

21. Information Security

Morning Property takes reasonable steps to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification and disclosure.

Security measures may include:

  • Password-protected electronic systems.

  • Multifactor authentication where available.

  • Restricted access for authorised personnel.

  • Secure physical and electronic document storage.

  • Staff confidentiality procedures.

  • Secure document transmission and disposal.

  • Appropriate management of third-party software providers.

  • Internal privacy procedures and staff training.

We review security arrangements as reasonably necessary.

22. Retention, Destruction and De-identification

Morning Property retains personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for a lawful purpose or as required or authorised by applicable legislation.

The retention period may depend on the nature of the information, the services provided, applicable statutory recordkeeping requirements and any legitimate ongoing legal or administrative need.

Information relating to unsuccessful residential tenancy applications will be securely deleted or de-identified when no longer required, subject to applicable statutory requirements.

Information relating to successful applicants may be retained as reasonably necessary to establish, administer and manage the tenancy and meet applicable legal obligations.

Where information is no longer required and retention is not legally necessary, Morning Property will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it.

Any mandatory retention, deletion or destruction requirements applying under NSW residential tenancy privacy legislation will be observed.

23. Data Breaches

Where Morning Property becomes aware of a suspected or actual data breach involving personal information, we will take appropriate steps to:

  1. Identify and contain the incident.

  2. Assess the information affected and potential risks.

  3. Investigate the circumstances.

  4. Take reasonable corrective measures.

  5. Notify affected individuals and relevant authorities where required by law.

  6. Review procedures to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme applies, Morning Property will comply with its assessment and notification requirements.

24. Access to and Correction of Personal Information

Individuals may request access to personal information held by Morning Property about them.

Individuals may also request correction of information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

Requests may be submitted to:

admin@morningproperty.com.au

Morning Property may take reasonable steps to verify the identity or authority of a person making a request.

Requests will be considered in accordance with applicable legislation.

Where access or correction is lawfully refused or restricted, we will provide an appropriate explanation and information about available complaint options.

Telephone: 1300 363 992

Other complaint or dispute resolution avenues may be available depending on the nature of the matter.

26. Anonymity and Pseudonymity

Where practicable and lawful, individuals may make general enquiries without identifying themselves or may use a pseudonym.

However, identification may be necessary for certain services, including entering into tenancy agreements, verifying property ownership, processing transactions and complying with statutory obligations.

Morning Property will only require identification where reasonably necessary or legally required.

27. Business Transfers and Restructuring

If Morning Property undergoes a lawful sale, merger, restructuring or transfer of part or all of its business, relevant personal information may be disclosed to prospective purchasers, successor businesses and authorised professional advisers where reasonably necessary and permitted by law.

Appropriate confidentiality, security and privacy safeguards will apply.
