1. Who we are and what this policy covers
1.1 In this Privacy Policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean ROI Real Estate Group Pty Ltd (Real Estate Agent Licence No. 090574L, Victoria), of Craigieburn VIC 3064, Australia. ROI Real Estate Group is part of the CAQA Groups family of brands.
1.2 This policy explains how we collect, hold, use and disclose personal information when you visit this website (https://roi-real-estate-preview.netlify.app), contact us, request an appraisal, register a buyer brief, ask about leasing or property management, or otherwise deal with us in connection with our services.
1.3 “Personal information” means information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable — for example your name, contact details, or online identifiers.
1.4 We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), including the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and the Notifiable Data Breaches (NDB) scheme, and with the obligations that apply to a licensed estate agency under the Estate Agents Act 1980 (Vic). Where you deal with us from the European Union, the United Kingdom or the United States, the additional protections in sections 8 and 9 apply to you. We only collect personal information by lawful and fair means that is necessary for our functions and activities.
2. What we collect and why
2.1 Information you give us. We collect personal information you provide when you: submit an enquiry or contact form; request an appraisal of a property or business; register a buyer brief; ask about leasing or property management; email or phone us; or provide feedback or a complaint. This typically includes your name, email address, phone number, and details of the property, business or brief you describe to us.
2.2 Information connected with transactions. Where you engage us as vendor, purchaser, landlord, tenant or business principal, we collect the information reasonably necessary to carry out licensed estate agency work — for example identity details, property and tenancy particulars, and financial details relevant to a sale, purchase, lease or management engagement. Transaction and rent money is handled through a compliant trust account, and trust records are kept as the law requires.
2.3 Information collected automatically. When you use this website, limited technical information may be collected through cookies and similar technologies and our hosting infrastructure — such as IP address, browser type, device information and pages viewed.

2.4 Why we collect it. We collect, hold and use personal information to: respond to enquiries; provide appraisals and match buyer briefs; deliver and administer licensed estate agency services, including sales, business broking, leasing, property management and buyer’s advocacy; enter into and perform contracts; comply with our legal, licensing and trust-accounting obligations; improve our services and website; and establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
2.5 If you do not provide the information we request, we may be unable to respond to your enquiry or provide the relevant service.
2.6 Sensitive information. We do not seek to collect sensitive information through this website. If you volunteer it, we will handle it in accordance with this policy and only use it for the purpose for which it was given, or with your consent.
