Privacy

Privacy policy

Updated October 2026

SJ Law Pty Ltd trading as Florens Family Law (“Florens Family Law”, “we”, “us”, “our”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, store and protect your personal information, and how you can access or correct it.

We are bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). As solicitors, we also owe you duties of confidentiality and protect legal professional privilege. A copy of the APPs is available from the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.oaic.gov.au.

What personal information we collect

Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable. Depending on your matter, we may collect:

How we collect it

Where reasonable and practicable, we collect personal information directly from you, in meetings, phone and video calls, emails, forms and through our website.

We may also receive information from others where this is needed for your matter, including the other party or their lawyers, courts, barristers, expert witnesses, family report writers, mediators, financial institutions, government agencies and other professionals you have authorised us to contact. If we receive information about you from someone else, we will take reasonable steps to let you know.

Family law matters often involve information about people who are not our clients. We handle that information with the same care, and only for the purposes of the matter.

Why we collect, use and hold it

If you choose not to provide information we reasonably need, we may not be able to act for you.

We only use sensitive information for the purpose it was provided, for a directly related purpose you would reasonably expect, with your consent, or where required or authorised by law.

When we disclose it

Subject to our professional obligations, we may disclose personal information:

We do not sell personal information.

AI-assisted tools

We use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to help us work efficiently, for example to draft and review documents, summarise material, assist with research and transcribe meetings. These tools support our lawyers. They do not replace legal judgement.

Overseas recipients

Some of our service providers may store information on servers outside Australia. Where that happens, we take reasonable steps to make sure your information is protected in a way consistent with the APPs. Otherwise, we will only send your personal information overseas with your consent, where it is needed for your matter (for example, where there are overseas assets or an international parenting issue), or where required by law.

Marketing and communications

From time to time, we may send you information about our services, insights and events, or promotional material from our trusted referrers or related entities within the Florens Group. We only use your contact details for this, never information about your matter, and we do not pass your details to other organisations for their own marketing. You are welcome to opt out at any time, by using the unsubscribe link in any of our emails or by letting us know.

Our website

When you use our website or enquiry forms, we collect the details you choose to give us. Our website may also use cookies and analytics tools to understand how the site is used, such as which pages are visited. This information does not identify you, and you can turn cookies off in your browser settings.

How we store and protect it

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. This includes secure electronic systems with access controls and multi-factor authentication, and secure storage of any paper records.

We keep client files for at least seven years after a matter ends, or longer where the law or the nature of the matter requires. After that, we securely destroy or de-identify the information.

If a data breach occurs that is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify you and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.

Accessing and correcting your information

We take reasonable steps to keep your personal information accurate, complete and up to date. Please let us know if anything changes or is incorrect.

You can ask to access the personal information we hold about you by contacting us in writing. We may need to confirm your identity first. There is no fee to make a request, but we may charge a reasonable fee for providing copies.

In limited circumstances permitted by the APPs, we may refuse access, for example where it would unreasonably affect another person’s privacy, where the information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, or where giving access would be unlawful. If we refuse, we will explain why in writing.

Questions and complaints

If you have a question or complaint about how we handle your personal information, please contact our Privacy Officer:
