Envestra Limited is committed to protect the privacy of our shareholders and our business partners and will do so by applying the National Privacy Principles set out in the Privacy Act 1988. This Privacy Statement outlines how and when personal information is collected, stored and distributed by Envestra.
If you are an Envestra shareholder we are required to collect your name, address, phone number and banking details. This information may be supplied by you, your stockbroker or some other agent acting on your behalf to Link Market Services the company’s share registry. Link Market Services has secure systems to keep this information confidential. Details of their Privacy Policy are available on their website www.linkmarketservices.com.au.
If in accordance with Australian tax laws you choose to supply your Tax File Number (TFN), we pass this information to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). We may also provide information on distributions to the ATO. Link Market Services maintains TFNs in a secure area on their share register computer system.
Envestra is committed to keeping your personal information secure and confidential. We use contractors, agents and suppliers to assist us in servicing you. These parties may require access to some of your personal information. In such cases Envestra requires these parties to maintain confidentiality and not misuse the information. Examples of these parties include the printing and mail-house businesses that produce and distribute annual reports and dividend advice and your bank in respect of direct payments.
Under Section 173 of Corporation’s Act 2001, Envestra must allow inspection of the Company’s share register to any person who applies to have access to it. This register sets out all shareholders’ names, addresses and share holdings.

Envestra does not knowingly supply shareholder information for purposes other than information that is considered in the interest of the shareholder, the investment market, brokers and market analysts.
We may disclose your personal information to your stockbroker, accountant, a family member or other person who reasonably identifies themselves as authorised. We will generally seek some indication that the party contacting us is you or an authorised agent. If you cease to be a shareholder your records remain securely stored.
