Privacy Policy

Last updated: 22 August 2026

1. Who we are and what this policy covers

This Privacy Policy applies to the following websites and to all services offered through them:

  • fisherandfisher.au
  • dualassetexitmadeeasy.com — the Keep the Property, Sell the Business programme
  • assetfirstsystem.com — the Asset First System™ methodology
  • foundershorizon.com — The Founder's Horizon podcast and mastermind groups

All four domains are owned by Orange International Corporation Pty Ltd (ABN 58 160 401 874).

Services are provided by two related entities, together referred to in this policy as "we", "us" and "our":

  • Meccano Investments Pty Ltd (ABN 67 676 604 498), trading as Fisher & Fisher Commercial Realty, holder of Queensland Real Estate Licence 4899955 — real estate and business sales, and leasing services.
  • Orange International Corporation Pty Ltd (ABN 58 160 401 874), trading as Fisher & Fisher Dual Asset Advisory — advisory, consulting and education services, including the Asset First System™, the Fisher & Fisher Academy, and our podcast and mastermind programmes.

We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

2. The personal information we collect

2.1 Information you give us directly

When you contact us or make an enquiry: your name, email address, phone number, business location, and anything else you choose to tell us.

When you book a call: your name, email address, phone number, and the time you select.

When you book a podcast recording — for either Keep the Property, Sell the Business or The Founder's Horizon — we collect the same details, together with your consent to be recorded. See section 6.

When you complete the Dual-Asset Readiness Scorecard: this is our most detailed collection point, and we want to be clear about it.

The Scorecard asks for:

  • Your full name (required)
  • Your email address (required)
  • Your country (required)
  • Your age range (required)
  • Your phone number (optional)

It then asks 40 scored yes/no questions across three areas:

  • Your property — the commercial premises you own or occupy, its lease arrangements, condition, title and planning position
  • Your business — its financial position, systems, staffing, customer concentration and how dependent it is on you
  • You personally — your own readiness to exit, your intentions and your circumstances

Every answer you give is recorded and stored against your contact record, along with your category scores, your total score and your readiness tier. We use these to produce your results and to tailor how we follow up with you.

You are not obliged to complete the Scorecard, and you may stop at any point. If you do not complete it, the details and answers you entered are not retained by us.

When you buy something from us: your billing details and purchase history. Payment card details are handled by our payment provider and are not stored by us.

2.2 Information collected automatically

When you visit any of our websites we collect technical information including your IP address, approximate location derived from it, browser and device type, referring website, the pages you view, how long you spend on them, how far you scroll, and the links you click — including links that take you from one of our websites to another.

This is described in section 5.

2.3 Information from third parties

We may receive information about you from public sources (such as company registers, land titles and business-for-sale listings), from people who refer you to us, and from social and advertising platforms where you have engaged with our content.

3. How we use your personal information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to your enquiry and provide the services you ask for;
  • produce and deliver your Scorecard results, including your results report;
  • record, produce and publish our podcast and video programmes;
  • prepare advice, appraisals and proposals relating to your business and property;
  • manage our client relationship and our records;
  • send you marketing communications where you have consented (see section 4);
  • improve our websites, content and services;
  • meet our legal and regulatory obligations, including those applying to a licensed real estate agency in Queensland.

4. Marketing communications, consent and unsubscribing

4.1 When we send marketing

When you complete a Scorecard or request a download, we will send you the requested results or material. That is part of the service you asked for and does not depend on any marketing consent.

If you explicitly opt in by ticking the consent box when submitting your details, we will also send you related marketing — including follow-up information on dual-asset exits, news about our programmes, podcast episodes, publications and events.

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Ticking the box is optional; you will receive your results either way.

4.2 Who the email is from

Our marketing emails are sent from one of our brand domains — fisherandfisher.au, dualassetexitmadeeasy.com, assetfirstsystem.com or foundershorizon.com. All four domains are owned and operated by Orange International Corporation Pty Ltd (ABN 58 160 401 874), and every marketing message we send identifies that entity and includes our contact details, whichever brand it comes from.

4.3 How to unsubscribe

Every marketing email we send contains an unsubscribe link. You can also email [email protected] at any time and ask to be removed.

We action unsubscribe requests within five business days and the unsubscribe facility remains active for at least 30 days after the message is sent.

Unsubscribing from marketing does not stop messages we must send you for a service you have asked for — such as your Scorecard results, a booking confirmation, or correspondence about an engagement.

When you give marketing consent we record the date, time and the form you gave it on, so we can show when and how it was given.

5. Cookies, analytics and tracking across our websites

5.1 What we use

We use Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google LLC, on our websites. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to tell us how our websites are used — which pages are viewed, how long visitors stay, how far they scroll, and which links they click.

5.2 Tracking between our own websites

We have deliberately enabled cross-domain measurement. This means that if you move between fisherandfisher.au, dualassetexitmadeeasy.com and assetfirstsystem.com, we can recognise it as the same visit rather than three separate ones. We do this so we can understand how people move through our content — for example, from a podcast page to the Scorecard.

This linking is done using a parameter added to the link you click and a cookie stored by your browser.

5.3 Advertising

We advertise, or plan to advertise, on LinkedIn, Meta (Facebook and Instagram) and search engines. Where we do, those platforms may set cookies or similar technologies on our websites to measure the performance of our advertising and to show you our advertising elsewhere.

5.4 Your choices

Most web browsers let you manage or delete cookies through their settings. You can also opt out of specific tracking tools:

  • Google Analytics — install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
  • Targeted advertising — adjust your ad preferences directly in LinkedIn Ad Settings and Meta Ad Preferences, or use the YourOnlineChoices Australia portal at youronlinechoices.com.au

Disabling cookies may limit your ability to use some features of our websites.

6. Podcast and video recordings

If you appear as a guest on Keep the Property, Sell the Business or The Founder's Horizon, we record your appearance in audio and video and publish it.

We record using Riverside, a third-party platform. Your recording is processed using artificial intelligence — it is automatically transcribed, the audio is automatically cleaned up (background noise removed, levels evened, filler words detected and removed), and we may generate short clips, correct on-camera gaze, insert background footage, and generate show notes, summaries and episode titles.

We do not use AI to make a guest appear to say anything they did not say.

The full scope of what a guest agrees to is set out in the Guest Recording Consent, which appears on the booking page and must be accepted before a recording can be booked.

7. Who we disclose your information to

We do not sell personal information.

We disclose personal information to:

  • our service providers, who host our systems and deliver our services (listed in section 8);
  • professional advisers — such as accountants, lawyers, brokers, valuers or financiers — where you ask us to, or where it is necessary to provide the service you have engaged us for;
  • the other Fisher & Fisher entity, where your matter involves both advisory and agency services;
  • anyone else you authorise; and
  • regulators, courts or authorities, where required or permitted by law — including obligations applying to a licensed real estate agency.

8. Overseas disclosure

Some of the service providers we use store or process personal information outside Australia, principally in the United States.

8.1 Podcast recordings — additional recipients

Riverside uses its own service providers, which may include:

RecipientPurposeWhere

Eleven Labs is used only for audio isolation and enhancement. It is not used to generate synthetic speech in a guest's voice.

Before disclosing personal information overseas we take reasonable steps to ensure the recipient handles it consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles, including by relying on the provider's contractual privacy commitments.

9. Storage, security and how long we keep information

9.1 Security

We take active technical, administrative and physical measures to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure — including encryption in transit, role-based access controls, authenticated email domains, and limiting access to those who need it.

9.2 How long we keep it

In line with Australian Privacy Principle 11.2, we destroy or de-identify personal information once it is no longer needed for the purpose we collected it for, unless a law requires us to keep it.

Where a law does require retention:

Record typeRetention periodGoverning law
Trust account records — ledgers, cashbooks, receipts, audit reports5 yearsAgents Financial Administration Regulation 2014 (Qld), s 26
Agency agreements and forms — appointments, inspection reports, sales files5 yearsProperty Occupations Regulation 2014 (Qld), s 15
Company and financial records7 years after the transaction is completedCorporations Act 2001 (Cth), s 286
Taxation and business records5 years from the date the tax return is lodgedIncome Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth)

Our general standard is seven years. Queensland property legislation sets a five-year minimum for most files, but the Real Estate Institute of Queensland and professional indemnity insurers recommend seven — because the Limitation of Actions Act 1974 (Qld) gives a party up to six years to start a civil or breach-of-contract claim. We therefore keep closed transaction and client files for seven years unless a longer period applies.

Information that is not tied to a transaction — such as marketing contact details — is kept only while it remains useful for that purpose, or until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it.

9.3 Secure destruction

When a retention period expires and a record is no longer needed, we destroy it securely. Digital records are permanently deleted or cryptographically erased, and paper records are cross-shredded.

10. Geographic scope and international users

Our services, websites and Scorecards are designed for and directed exclusively to business owners in Australia. We price in Australian dollars, we write about Australian law and Australian markets, and we do not intentionally target or offer services to individuals located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other overseas jurisdictions.

If you access our websites from outside Australia, your personal information is handled under Australian privacy law. It may be stored and processed by our service providers in the overseas locations set out in section 8.

11. Accessing and correcting your information

You can ask us for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and ask us to correct it if it is wrong, out of date or incomplete. Email [email protected].

We will respond within a reasonable time. There is normally no charge, though we may charge a reasonable fee for providing access in some circumstances. If we refuse a request we will tell you why in writing.

12. Complaints

If you think we have mishandled your personal information, please tell us first — email [email protected] and we will investigate and respond.

If you are not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC): oaic.gov.au · 1300 363 992 · GPO Box 5218, Sydney NSW 2001.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The current version is always on our websites, with the date it was last updated shown at the top.
