Purpose

Endgame Economics Pty Ltd, Cartesian Software Pty Ltd and its related companies (Group) are committed to maintaining the privacy of
individuals. This Privacy Policy (Policy) sets out the way in which the Group (“we”, “our” or “us”) collect, hold, disclose, use and protect
your personal information. This Policy also outlines and explains the types of personal information we collect, the purposes for which it is
collected, how you can request access to and correct personal information that we hold about you and how you can make a privacy complaint or
contact us with your enquiries or concerns.

When handling personal information, we will comply with the obligations specified by the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) within the
Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (‘Act’), as amended by the Privacy Amendment (Enhancing Privacy Protection) Act 2012 (Cth) and the Privacy Amendment
(Notifiable Data Breaches) Act 2017 (Cth).

Personal Information

‘Personal information’ means any information or opinion, whether true or not, and whether recorded in a material form or not, about an
identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

What constitutes personal information will vary, depending on whether any individual can be identified or is reasonably capable of being
identified in the circumstance. By providing us with personal information, you will be deemed to have consented to us collecting, using and
disclosing your personal Information (within and outside Australia) in accordance with this Policy.

Collection of personal information

When personal information may be collected

We may collect personal information from you when you:

  • register for email updates or submit a job application on our website;
  • contact us via the website, email or by phone;
  • interact with us on our social media or online platforms;
  • engage us to perform consultancy or advisory services;
  • provide us information for modelling within our software;
  • provide your personal information to third parties and they refer you to us; or
  • directly or indirectly provide your details to us.

Types of personal information collected

The types of personal information that we collect vary based on your particular interaction with us but could include:

  • your name, company name, and primary role or title;
  • date of birth;
  • mailing or residential address;
  • telephone numbers and e-mail address
  • information relating to the matter in which we are providing you a service; or
  • other information you directly provide to us.

You do not need to provide us with your personal information and where possible we will give you the option to interact with us anonymously
or by using a pseudonym. However, if you elect to interact with us in this manner or not provide us with your personal information, we may
not be able to provide our services to you or provide you with information about our services.

Third parties

Where reasonable and practicable to do so, we will collect your personal information only from you. However, in some circumstances we may be
provided with information by third parties. In such a case we will take reasonable steps to ensure that you are made aware of the
information provided to us by the third party.

Use of personal information

Any personal information that we may have about you will not be used or disclosed for any purpose other than in connection with our
functions and activities as disclosed in this Policy.

We use your personal information to:

  • provide you with the services you request;
  • respond to your queries;
  • send you marketing and promotional materials;
  • respond to job applications;
  • comply with legal obligations; and
  • support our business activities such as improving our service and offerings.

Disclosure of personal information

We may disclose your personal information between the Group and to third parties in accordance with this Policy or in circumstances where
you would reasonably expect us to disclose your information. For example, we may disclose your personal information to:

  • third parties that we engage to assist us in providing advisory and consultancy services to you or in the operation of our business
    (i.e., advisors, subcontractors)
  • third party service providers who help operate our website; or
  • law enforcement, regulatory or government agencies to comply with legal requests.

Where we disclose your personal information to others, we will take steps to ensure those recipients implement appropriate safeguards to
protect that information from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, and from misuse, interference and loss. We may also share
non-personal, de-identified and aggregated information with third parties for several purposes including data analytics and promotional
purposes.

Information security and retention

Security

The Group uses commercially reasonable physical, electronic and procedural safeguards to protect your personal information from loss, misuse
and unauthorised access, disclosure, alteration and destruction as provided under the Act. We employ safeguards such as data encryption,
secure cloud storage, controls on access, employee training and data minimisation.

Whilst we strive to protect your personal information to the best of our abilities, no data security measure can guarantee 100% security all
of the time. If we find there has been a breach of security of your personal information, we will take remedial action to minimise risk of
harm to you and notify you of the breach as soon as reasonably practicable. If required under the Act, we will also notify the Office of the
Australian Information Commissioner

Retention

We will not keep your personal information for longer than we need to. In most cases, this means that we will only retain your personal
information for the duration of your relationship with us unless we are required to retain your personal information to comply with
applicable laws, for example record-keeping obligations.

Marketing

From time to time, we may use personal information for direct marketing purposes such as email, telephone, SMS, letters, surveys, and other
forms of communication. Any such medium of communication will be limited to circumstances where you reasonable expect us to use or disclose
your personal information for that purpose.

You have the right to ‘opt out’ of receiving direct marketing communications or request that we provide the source of your personal
information where reasonable and practical.

If you have consented to us providing direct marketing to you and you wish to stop receiving such communication, please contact us on the
details outlined in Section 13 or if it is an email communication, by following the “unsubscribe” instructions at the bottom of the email.
