How and where is my personal data stored?

We encrypt the personal data and files that you enter in to the Portal using the AES-256 standard, which is the same encryption standard used by banks to secure customer data. Encryption for storage is applied at the time the data and files are saved or submitted.

The Portal uses Azure for data storage using exclusively its data centres in Australia. Azure stores data over several large-scale data centres. According to Azure, they use military grade perimeter control berms, video surveillance, and professional security staff to keep their data centres physically secure. You can find more information about Azure’s security on their website.

How do I see or edit my personal data?

For Documents: If you have uploaded a document to the Client Portal, you can view details of what you have sent by clicking the + button next to the document list or by opening up the secure message used to submit the document. Note that once the document is submitted it is securely transmitted to your Agent/Lawyer and then is deleted permanently from the Client Portal Server. You will need to contact your Agent/Lawyer in order to view any document that has previously been uploaded.
