The Privacy Act

Collecting Information About You
Primero will only collect personal information directly from you which is necessary for the purpose of conducting its business.
As Primero has different business units, some of which may be from time to time located overseas, we may need to disclose personal information within the group in order to conduct our business. This may include a disclosure to a different business unit situated in other jurisdictions.
