This Privacy Policy applies to any personal information that we collect when you interact with

accept Progressive Financial Planning Ltd as your adviser in respect to any financial product
or service;
• use any of Progressive Financial Planning Ltd websites and mobile applications;
• register to receive regular marketing communications; and/or
• any other services we provide now or in the future,
(together, the Services).
In the event of any inconsistency between this Privacy Policy and other policies or terms and
conditions that may apply to your use of any of the Services, the terms of this Privacy Policy
will prevail.
From time to time we may collect or request personal information from you in the course of
providing you, or by you accessing and using, the Services. Personal information is any
information about you that identifies you, or by which your identity can reasonably be
ascertained.
The type of personal information we may collect when you access and use the Services
includes your name, address, email address, phone number, details of assets, investments
and liabilities, age, gender, family members, personal objectives and goals and any other
information that we request.
You may register with PFP Ltd to receive regular marketing communications from us, for
example via email or text message. If you choose to register to receive regular marketing
communications or to use any of the Services, you will need to provide us with certain
personal information to create an account, which may include your name, age, postal
address, email address, phone number and other requested information.
If you do not provide us with some of this information then you may not be able to access
some or all of the Services, including the marketing communications available after
registration.
From time to time we may also collect from you in the course of providing you, or by you
using, the Services, information that is not personal information at the time of collection
(Non-identifiable Information). However, by choosing to register to use any of the
Services, you agree that we may combine the Non-identifiable Information with your
personal information that we collect, or that is otherwise held by PFP Ltd, its partners or
service providers, in a manner that will change the nature of the Non-identifiable Information
such that it becomes personal information. You agree that
We collect personal information in order to provide you with, and allow you to access and
use, the Services.
By accessing and using the Services, or by registering to receive marketing
communications, you agree that we may collect, store and use any of your personal
information including to do any of the following:

• To provide or send you targeted marketing (or allow a third party to provide you) via email,
online (including social media) or physical mail, with details of special offers and information
about products or services offered by PFP Ltd, or other third party providers, or other
information that may be of interest to you, your family or household;
• Identify and determine the benefits, offers or promotions that may be of interest to you,
your family or household based on your use of the Services;
• To undertake data analytics, insights or data mining (including the anonymisation or
aggregation of your personal information with other data to identify patterns and trends, and
use the full benefit of that analysis);
• To build a view of you as a client by collating all personal information that PFP Ltd, and our
partners and service providers, hold about you, including collected via any PFP Ltd
managed platforms or services, in a single profile, so that we can analyse and improve your
experience and the services provided to you by PFP Ltd;
• To conduct research related to your use of the Services;
• Such other purpose we make known to you at the time of collection.
In doing so, your personal information may be combined with other personal information held
by PFP Ltd, our partners and service providers.
Where possible, PFP Ltd will collect your personal information directly from you.
In providing you with, or by you accessing and using, the Services, including where you
register for an account to use the Services, we will need to disclose some of your personal
information to others. By using one or all of the Services you agree that we may disclose
your personal information for any of the purposes listed in the above section to:

you e.g. wrap service providers, fund managers, KiwiSaver Managers, mortgage service
providers, insurance service providers;
