Privacy Policy

1. Introduction
Yield Business Brokers (“we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to handling personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This Privacy Policy outlines how we manage personal information collected in the course of our business brokerage activities.

  • Contact information: email address, phone number, and postal address
  • Financial and business information relevant to a transaction
  • Transaction records: enquiries, offers, and completed transactions
  • Website usage data: IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited
We generally do not collect sensitive information unless you provide it voluntarily, we have your consent, or collection is permitted by law.
3. How We Collect Information
We collect personal information directly from you, from professional advisers involved in a transaction (where authorised), from publicly available sources, and through our website.
4. How We Use Personal Information

We use personal information for the following purposes:

  • Facilitating the sale, purchase, or transfer of businesses

  • Communicating with you about listings and enquiries

Where we have taken reasonable steps to protect your information, we remain accountable under APP 8 if an overseas recipient breaches the APPs.

8. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access. When we no longer require personal information, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.

In the event of an eligible data breach, we will comply with our obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
