Privacy Policy
Arete Capital Group Pty Ltd is committed to protecting the privacy and security of personal information provided by visitors to this website. This policy sets out how we collect, use, retain and disclose that information.
Who we are
Our website address is: https://aretecapital.com. Arete Capital Group Pty Ltd (“Arete”, “we”, “us”) is a globally-focused natural resources and mining private equity group. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use and protect personal information when you interact with our website and our business.
Information we collect
When visitors leave comments or submit enquiries through the site, we collect the data provided in the relevant form, together with the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to assist with spam detection and security. An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be used by third-party services such as Gravatar to determine whether you are using them. After approval of a comment, your profile picture may be visible to the public in the context of that comment.
Media
If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to re-enter your details when you leave another comment. These cookies last for one year. When you visit our login page, we set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser. When you log in, we also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login persists for two weeks. If you log out, the login cookies are removed. If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie is saved in your browser indicating the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after one day and contains no personal data.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content including tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell or rent your personal information. If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email. We may share information with service providers who assist us in operating the website and our business, subject to appropriate confidentiality and security obligations. We may also disclose information where required by law or to protect our rights.
How long we retain your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely so that we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue. For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.
Where your data is sent
Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service. Your personal information may be processed by third-party service providers located in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, and in such cases we take reasonable steps to ensure those providers handle your information in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your personal information, please contact us at our Melbourne office: Level 8, 330 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia.
