What personal information do we collect and why do we need it?

    To enable us to fulfil our responsibilities as a provider of civil and structural engineering construction and consulting services, we may need to collect personal information about you including your name, address, other contact details, financial details such as a credit card number, transaction history and products and service preferences. We use this information to tailor our products and services to best meet the needs of our customers.

We may also use this information to send you details of other products and services that may be of interest to you. At any time, if you no longer wish to receive this additional marketing material let us know, and your details will be removed from the marketing database.

If we do not collect the personal information we may not be able to provide you with the services or assistance you have requested.

Keeping your personal information up-to-date

If you are concerned that the information which we have in our records is incorrect or incomplete, or would like to access or update your personal information, please contact us during business hours on +61 7 3700 9791.

How we collect your personal information

    CSM Group recognises and respects the importance of each individual’s privacy. This Privacy Policy ensures all personal information held by the CSM Group is handled appropriately and kept confidential.

We generally collect your personal information directly from you. For example, we may collect personal information about you when you deal with us over the telephone, enter into an agreement with us or send us correspondence (whether by letter, fax or e-mail), visit our web site or when you have contact with us in person.

How we use your personal information

    Any personal details that you provide will be used for the purpose of dealing with your request, enquiry, contractual dealing or application for employment. This may involve disclosing your personal information to service providers who assist us in operating our business. These organisations are required to comply with the principles of this Privacy Policy.

Who will see or have access to your personal information?

    Unless we are required to provide your personal information to others by law, by court order or to investigate suspected fraud or other unlawful activity, your information will only be seen or used by persons working in or for CSM Group.

These people will include our own and our contract customer service staff, sales agents, engineers, marketing people and agents.

Our information systems and files are kept secured from unauthorised access and our staff and contracted agents and service providers have been informed of the importance we place on protecting your privacy and their role in helping us to do so.

What if I want to check what personal information you hold about me?

    Subject to any legal restrictions we would be happy to advise you what personal information we hold about you if you request this. If your request is particularly complex or requires detailed searching of our records, there may be a cost to you in order for us to provide this information.

If you believe there are errors in our records about you, please let us know and we will be happy to investigate and correct any inaccuracies.
