Addinsight does not use government related identifiers such as Tax File Numbers or Medicare Numbers to identify individuals or the personal information that Addinsight collects from individuals.

4. Purpose of collection

Our purpose in collecting and holding personal information about an individual is so that it can be used for activities such as:

  • providing services to clients;
  • engaging contractors;
  • handling complaints;
  • managing employee records;
  • business development and direct marketing;

Addinsight may collect information for the provision of direct marketing unless you have informed Addinsight in writing in accordance with section 10 of this policy that you do not want to receive such information. Addinsight will provide an “opt out” option to individuals who receive direct marketing from Addinsight.

Addinsight may be required to provide your personal information to other organisations to comply with its legal obligations such as auditors, legal advisers, the ATO, insurers and creditors.

Our purpose in collecting and holding sensitive information about an individual is:

  • to ensure that Addinsight can provide a safe work environment; and
  • to enable Addinsight to obtain its clients’ consent to contractors and suppliers being engaged on a project and/or being given access to a project site.

5. Storage and security

All personal information collected by Addinsight is retained on databases that are securely monitored and maintained. Other than as provided for in this policy, the personal information will not be made available to a third party without your consent, unless Addinsight is legally required to do so.

Addinsight will take all reasonable steps to protect the security of the personal information that it holds. This includes taking appropriate measures to protect electronic materials and material stored and generated in hard copy.

Where personal information held by Addinsight is no longer required and the law does not require it to be retained, Addinsight will destroy such personal information by a secure means.

6. Access and retention of information

You may request access to the personal information Addinsight holds about you by making a written request to Addinsight. Addinsight will provide you with access to your personal information unless an exception to access under Australian Privacy Principle 12 applies.

In the event that any personal information that Addinsight holds about you is incorrect and requires correction, Addinsight will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to correct that information to ensure that it is up to date, complete and accurate.

Addinsight seeks to ensure that the personal information it holds is accurate, complete and up-to-date. Addinsight understands that personal information changes frequently and encourages you to contact Addinsight as soon as possible to update any changes to personal information.

7. Disclosure to an organisation

Addinsight utilises the services of several platforms which store personal information overseas in locations such as, but not limited to, Singapore and the United States of America.

Addinsight may also disclose your personal information to others where:
