Last updated 21 October 2026.
Bottom Line Finance ("we", "us", "our") operates the website at bottomlinefinance.com.au. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and protect your personal information when you use this website or submit an enquiry through it. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). For visitors located in the European Union or United Kingdom, this policy is also written to be consistent with the general data-protection expectations of the GDPR.
Bottom Line Finance operates this information and enquiry website for the commercial and development finance category, serving clients across Australia. We are not the service provider ourselves. When you submit an enquiry, we assess the information and may share it with one or more independent providers if an appropriate provider is available. Submitting an enquiry does not guarantee that a provider will be available or will contact you.
We collect the personal information you choose to give us through our enquiry forms. This typically includes your name, email address, phone number, the suburb or area your project is in, and any details you provide about what you need. You are not required to submit an enquiry, but the required form fields are needed for us to assess and process one.
We also collect limited technical information automatically when you visit the site. This may include your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view, and the date and time of your visit. This information is collected through standard web-server logs and, where enabled, privacy-respecting analytics. It is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to improve it; it is not used to identify you personally.
We use your personal information to:
We use your information for the purpose of your enquiry, including providing it to independent contractors and businesses that offer services related to your enquiry. By submitting an enquiry, you consent to being contacted about it. We or our partners may also contact you about related products and services. You can opt out of these messages at any time by using the unsubscribe link in a message or by emailing us at loans@bottomlinefinance.com.au.
When you submit an enquiry you consent to your contact details and project information being shared with one or more potentially suitable independent providers where available. A provider that receives your details is responsible for its own handling of your information under its privacy obligations. Submission does not mean that a provider has accepted the work.
We may also disclose information to service providers who help us operate the website (such as hosting, form-processing and analytics providers), and where we are required to do so by law. Some of these service providers may store data outside Australia, including in the United States; where that occurs we take reasonable steps to ensure your information remains protected.
This website may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences and to measure traffic. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect how some parts of the site function.
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss, and unauthorised access or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. We retain enquiry information only for as long as needed to assess and process the enquiry and to meet our legal obligations, after which it is deleted or de-identified.
You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, or ask us to delete it. To make a request, or to ask a question about this policy, email us at loans@bottomlinefinance.com.au. We will respond within 30 days. If you have a complaint about how we have handled your personal information, email us with the details and we will respond within 30 days. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.
We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The "last updated" date at the top of this page shows when it was last revised. Material changes will be reflected on this page; please check back periodically.
