About this Policy

Why develop a Privacy Policy?
The purpose of a privacy policy is to communicate clearly the personal information handling practices of an organisation. Privacy policies enhance the transparency of the operations of organisations. They also give individuals a better and more complete understanding of the sort of personal information an organisation holds and the way it handles that information. The Perina Group (‘Perina’) privacy policy has been developed with these aims in mind.
