Information you provide

Personal Information

Personal information is information about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

  • Contact information such as name and email address, telephone number and mailing address
  • Billing information such as credit card number, banking details and billing address.

ERBGS’s core activity is to provide business advisory services and training. To provide this we require information on:

  • Business structure and operations
  • Relationships with other service providers
  • Products and services
  • Business history and evolution
  • Financial analysis and reporting on business entities such as companies, trusts etc. To provide this service ERBGS requires
  • Accounting information related to an entity (eg. Chart of Accounts, Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet), and
  • Other non-financial information related to the entity to supplement this accounting information (eg. KPI results).
    This information can be entered manually, uploaded from a spreadsheet you provide or imported directly from third party services (eg. Xero, MYOB etc.) where you have given us permission to do so.
Client Support Data

ERBGS uses various third party services and service providers to help us support to our users. In the course of using our services and obtaining support you may provide personal information or other commercially confidential information required to resolve an issue. The communication may occur by web-form, through a pop-up chat service or via email. The communication, including any file attachments, may be stored by these service providers.

Cookies & other tracking technologies

A cookie is a string of information that a website stores on a visitor’s computer, and that the visitor’s browser provides to the website each time the visitor returns. ERBGS uses cookies to help us identify and authenticate visitors, track usage, and store preferences. You can configure your browser to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from websites you visit, however most aspects of the ERBGS Services will not function properly without the aid of cookies.

ERBGS and our third party partners also use other tracking technologies like ‘web beacons (also known as “tracking pixels”). These are tiny images that may be used in our websites or in emails to help us count visits, understand usage and campaign effectiveness and determine whether an email has been opened and acted upon.

ERBGS and our third party partners also use javascript, e-tags and HTML5 local storage to collect information about your use of our services over time. Many browsers include their own management tools for removing HTML5 local storage objects.
