Pascale Construction respects the privacy of individuals and is committed to handling personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. This statement explains how we may collect, use, disclose and protect personal information.
Personal information we may collect
We may collect personal information when you contact us, submit an enquiry, apply for work, register for site access, provide services to us, visit one of our sites or otherwise interact with Pascale Construction. This may include your name, contact details, employment or business details, enquiry details, qualifications, licences, training records, site access information, photographs, incident or safety information, and other information reasonably required for our business activities. Where permitted by law, we may also collect sensitive information, such as health information, fitness for work information or criminal history information.
How we use and disclose personal information
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, manage recruitment and onboarding, verify competency and site access requirements, deliver construction and project services, manage employees and subcontractors, administer accounts, manage work health and safety, investigate incidents, maintain business records, meet client, legal and contractual obligations, and protect our legal interests. We do not sell personal information. We may disclose personal information to clients, subcontractors, service providers, IT and software providers, payroll and accounting providers, insurers, legal and professional advisers, auditors, regulators, government agencies or other parties where reasonably necessary, required or authorised by law. Some service providers may store or process information outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure the disclosure is lawful and appropriately controlled.
Website information and third-party links
When you use our website, we may collect limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited and the time and date of access. This information is used to maintain website security, functionality and performance. Our website may contain links to third-party websites. Pascale Construction is not responsible for the privacy practices, security or content of third-party websites.
Security, access and correction
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We retain personal information for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by law, contract, insurance, audit, taxation, employment, work health and safety or business recordkeeping obligations. You may request access to personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading. We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.
Privacy enquiries and complaints
Privacy enquiries, access or correction requests, and complaints can be made in writing to Pascale Construction. We will review the matter and respond within a reasonable timeframe. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
