Privacy Policy

[Last updated: 15 October 2025]

1. Introduction

Skylar Legal (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit our website (skylarlegal.com) or engage our legal and migration services.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for us to provide legal and related services, including:

  • Your name and contact details (email, phone number, address)

  • Information submitted through website forms or email enquiries

  • Information relevant to your legal matter (for example, identity documents, financial information, or visa details)

  • Browsing data such as IP address, browser type, device information, and website usage statistics (through analytics tools)

  • Any additional information you provide voluntarily when communicating with us

We do not intentionally collect sensitive information unless it is necessary for our services and you have given express consent or it is required by law.

3. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information to:

  • Provide legal, migration, and advisory services

  • Respond to enquiries and communicate with clients

  • Manage client relationships and internal administration

  • Comply with professional, ethical, and legal obligations

  • Improve our website and client experience

  • Send legal updates or newsletters (where you have opted in)

  • Prevent fraud or misuse of our systems

We only use or disclose your information for the purposes described above, unless required or permitted by law.

4. Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose personal information to:

  • Barristers, consultants, accountants, or other professionals engaged in your matter

  • Service providers who assist in operating our business (e.g. IT support, cloud storage, email or analytics platforms)

  • Courts, tribunals, regulatory authorities, or law enforcement agencies where required by law

  • Other parties where you have provided consent

We take reasonable steps to ensure that third parties handle your information in accordance with privacy laws and maintain strict confidentiality.

5. Cross-Border Disclosure

While our servers are primarily located in Australia, some third-party service providers (such as cloud or email platforms) may store or process information overseas. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that these providers are subject to privacy standards substantially similar to those under Australian law.

6. Data Security

We maintain appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, misuse, loss, or disclosure.

Despite these safeguards, the transmission of information via the internet carries inherent risks. While we cannot guarantee absolute security, we strive to protect all information within our control.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with our legal obligations, or as required by professional conduct rules.

When the information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to securely destroy or anonymise it.

8. Access and Correction

You may request access to, or correction of, your personal information held by us by contacting us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe and may require verification of your identity before processing your request.

9. Complaints and Enquiries

We will review and respond to all complaints in a timely and respectful manner.
If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
