Sensitive Information

Under the Privacy Act, Sensitive Information includes things such as your racial or ethnic origin, religious beliefs, or health data. In the normal course of our construction and development work, we do not typically collect sensitive information.

If we ever do, it will only be: –

• For the primary purpose for which it was provided

• With your consent
• Where required or authorised by law

Third Parties

Where reasonable and practicable, we will collect your Personal Information only from you directly. However, in some cases, we may receive information from third parties (e.g. architects, real estate agents, referral partners). If this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to ensure you are aware of the information provided to us.

Disclosure of Personal Information

We may disclose your Personal Information in the following situations: –

• To third-party contractors or consultants directly involved in your project

We do not sell or rent personal information.

Security of Personal Information

We store your Personal Information securely and take reasonable steps to: –

• Protect it from misuse, interference, loss, or unauthorised access
• Secure our physical and digital systems using passwords and backups

When your Personal Information is no longer needed, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it. However, for legal and regulatory reasons, client files may be retained for a minimum of 7 years.

Access to Your Personal Information

You have the right to request access to the Personal Information we hold about you and to correct it if necessary. To do so, please contact us in writing using the details below. We may require identification to confirm your request. We do not charge a fee for access requests, but a small administrative fee may apply if you require printed copies.

Maintaining the Accuracy of Your Information

We aim to ensure that your Personal Information is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you believe any information we hold about you is incorrect, please contact us as soon as possible so we can update our records.
