COMPLIANCE WITH PRIVACY LEGISLATION
This Privacy Policy covers your dealings with RIISE Group Pty Ltd. This Privacy Policy describes how we will comply with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988, including the Australian Privacy Principles. This Privacy Policy describes the purposes for which we may collect, store, use and disclose your personal information. It generally applies whenever we receive personal information from you (directly or indirectly) e.g. when you use our products or services or when we do business with you.
COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
Personal information is generally defined as information or an opinion that can identify a person. This information could include information such as your name, postal or email address, date of birth, image and financial details. The type of personal information that we may collect from you will depend on the dealings you may have with us. If it is reasonable or practical to do so, we collect your personal information from you directly when you enter into arrangements with us. Depending on the purposes for which we collect your personal information, in some instances we may collect your personal information from third parties.
USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
The general purposes for which we may collect and hold your personal information (and share that information with related companies or organisations who provide services to us) are:
identify you;
to provide you with the information, product or service that you have requested;
to manage and administer a product or service to you on an ongoing basis;
to manage and administer a contract with you on an ongoing basis;
to promote safety and security on our site;
to provide you with regular updates of the status of our projects, products and services;
to comply with any obligations that we may have under laws that apply to our business or to meet reasonable requests from regulatory bodies which regulate our business.
RIISE Group Pty Ltd may use the information we collect about you to keep you informed about our projects, products and services and to enable third parties with whom we have a relationship to engage with you regarding our projects, products and services.
Information about the way and frequency with which you use our services may also be used by us for the purposes of quality control and to develop and improve the communication and engagement we are able to offer to you regarding our projects, products and services.
If you elect not to provide personal information to us, we may not be able to provide you with some or all of the services you wish to obtain or that we would otherwise provide.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
We may disclose your personal information where we are required or authorised to do so by or under law or where the disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce the law or for enforcement related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body.
This may occur under the laws that apply to our business, for example, where a regulatory authority requests information from us. This includes obligations that we may have under the Queensland Building and Construction Commission and in connection with our obligations relating to our projects.
We may also disclose personal information where required or authorised by law to or, to meet a reasonable request from, a range of regulatory and other bodies, including the Australian Taxation Office, QBCC and Master Builders.
In addition, there are circumstances in which we may disclose your personal information to another organisation for particular purposes that are important to help us to operate our business. These circumstances are described in detail below.
SHARING INFORMATION WITH OTHER ORGANISATIONS
We will not sell your personal information to other organisations. We will generally only give another organisation access to your personal information when the other organisation is providing services to us that help us to operate our business or to provide a service to you (for example providing you with information about our projects).
We require these organisations to agree to our Privacy Policy, meet strict conditions on the use of personal information, and to comply with the Australian Privacy Principles in the use, storage and disclosure of your personal information. Such organisations are those that assist us:
provide, manage or develop the services that we offer. This includes service providers (such as mail house providers, printers and advertising agencies), postal services, call centres, customer research agencies and our advisers;
maintain, review, and develop our business systems, procedures and infrastructure, including testing or upgrading our computer software;
with reviews of our business operations and structure.
We may also share your personal information with another organisation in relation to potential or threatened legal proceedings or disputes (whether between you and that organisation or between us and that organisation), including for the purposes of gaining legal advice, or to take action which we consider appropriate in relation to suspected unlawful activity or serious misconduct, including investigating any such alleged activity. We may also share your personal information with an organisation where we have obtained your consent.
MARKETING
We may also collect and use your personal information so that we can promote and market our projects, products and services to you (including by way of direct mail, telemarketing, SMS and MMS messages).
We will only send you this information if:
you have indicated your consent to receiving such information (including submission of enquiry forms); or
such information is related to the purpose for which we originally collected your personal information.
We send this information to keep you informed of our projects, products and services, but if you don’t want us to do this, you can contact us at any time to let us know that you no longer want to receive this information.
Such marketing may be undertaken by or on behalf of RIISE Group Pty Ltd using your personal information.
