Your personal information is collected by Company 4 Me (Tax 4 Me (TAS Company 4 Me) Pty Ltd), ABN 39 159 673 211, ASIC Registered Agent #34211, Tax Agent #26020878.

You can contact our Privacy Officer regarding this collection at:

• Email: admin@company4me.com.au
• Phone: +61 2 9161 2821
• Post: Level 1, 63-73 Ann Street, Surry Hills NSW 2010

We collect personal information from generally available publications and public registries, including but not limited to:

• Published daily law lists from Australian Federal, State and Territory Courts and Tribunals, including the Federal Court of Australia, Federal Circuit and Family Court, High Court of Australia, Administrative Review Tribunal, Fair Work Commission, and Supreme/District/Local/Magistrates Courts in NSW, VIC, QLD, WA, SA, TAS, NT and ACT.
• Civil and administrative tribunal hearing lists (NCAT, VCAT, QCAT, SAT, SACAT, TASCAT, NTCAT, ACAT).
• Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) published notices relating to external administration and winding-up proceedings.
• ASIC company and business name registers (via official ASIC agent access).

Because we collect this information from public records rather than directly from you, it is generally not practicable for us to notify you individually at the time of collection. This notice serves to inform you of how we handle this data.

The information we collect depends on what is published by the relevant authority, but may include:

• Names of individuals or companies involved in civil or criminal proceedings.
• Case/file numbers and hearing dates.
• Names of legal representatives and judicial officers.
• Court locations, courtroom numbers, and listing types.
• Australian Company Numbers (ACN) and Australian Business Numbers (ABN) where published in party descriptions.

We collect this information to:

• Provide entity verification and due diligence services to our clients as part of the company and business name registration process.
• Enable conflict checking and risk assessment for company registration applications.
• Support compliance with our obligations as an ASIC Registered Agent.
• Aggregate publicly available legal data into a searchable format for authorised users of our platform.

Because this information is sourced from public records, the collection does not require your participation. However, if this information was not collected, we would be unable to provide entity verification, due diligence, and conflict-checking services to our clients during the company registration process.

We disclose the aggregated information to:

• Authenticated users of our platform who are conducting entity searches (e.g. for company registration due diligence).
• Our third-party service providers (such as cloud hosting and database providers) who assist us in operating our business.

We do not sell personal information to third parties. Anonymous (unauthenticated) visitors can only see aggregate counts, not individual names or case details.

No. Our collection of this information is not specifically required or authorised by an Australian law or a court/tribunal order. We collect it to operate our commercial entity verification services. However, the information itself is published by courts and tribunals under the principle of open justice.

The information we collect is stored on servers located in Australia (Google Cloud Platform, Sydney region) and the United States (Vercel, for website hosting). We do not disclose your personal information to overseas recipients for their independent use.

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you and to request corrections if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading. Given the potential impact of incorrect public data, we take requests for correction seriously.

To exercise your rights, you may:

• Request removal (delisting): Use the “Report this listing” button on any court case result displayed on our platform, or email us directly.
• Request correction: If data attributed to you is inaccurate, contact us with the correct details.
• Request access: Contact us to obtain a copy of the personal information we hold about you from public sources.
• Publish a reply: If you are a party to a listed matter, you may request that a brief contextual statement be attached to the listing (e.g. “This matter was dismissed”).

Court listing records are retained for a period of 7 years from the date of collection, consistent with standard Australian record-keeping obligations for professional services. Records subject to a successful delisting request are permanently deleted within 30 days of the request being approved.

Raw source archives (copies of the published court lists as received) are retained for audit and compliance purposes and are not publicly accessible.
