Asquired Square (referred to as “we”, “us”, or “our”) is committed to protecting personal information in accordance with Australian privacy laws. This Privacy Policy outlines our approach to handling personal information and includes information on how we collect, use, disclose, and keep secure your personal information, whether provided via this website or other means. We may periodically review and update this Privacy Policy, so please check this website regularly to stay informed of any changes. All personal information collected and held by us will be governed by the most recently updated Privacy Policy.
Collection of Personal Information
We will only collect personal information that we reasonably require for one or more of our business functions or activities and will do so by lawful and fair means. The kinds of personal information we may collect from you will depend on the type of interaction you have with us. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Personal information you provide when you engage with us to prospect and secure properties for you, subscribe to our mailing list, or interact with our social media pages like Facebook and Instagram. This may include your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, and occupation.
- Personal information you provide when you engage our services. This may include your name, postal address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, and confidential client briefs.
- In some circumstances, we may collect personal information from third parties such as credit reporting agencies. Where we do, we will ensure compliance with relevant Australian laws.
- We will not collect sensitive information about you (such as information about your racial or ethnic origins or political or religious beliefs) unless you have consented to such collection, or the collection is required by law.
How Your Personal Information is Stored
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from loss or unauthorised access. Unfortunately, no data transmission over the Internet can be guaranteed as totally secure. Accordingly, although we strive to protect such information, we do not warrant the security of any information you transmit to us or from our online services, and you use these services at your own risk.
We may provide you with the opportunity to comment on our sites in a public forum, such as commenting on articles. Be aware that this information may be accessed by anyone, so you should avoid providing personal details and information at all times. We will not be held responsible if someone breaches your privacy due to your disclosure in a public forum.
We only keep your personal information for as long as it is required for the purpose for which it was collected or as otherwise required by law. We will take appropriate measures to destroy or permanently de-identify your personal information if we no longer need to retain it. These measures may vary depending on the type of information concerned, the way it was collected, and how it was stored.
How Your Personal Information Will Be Used
We collect your personal information so that we can use it for our functions and activities and provide products and services to you. This includes:
- Processing orders you place with us, including providing confirmation of your orders and providing our services, where applicable.
- Administering and responding to your inquiries or feedback about our services.
- Conducting, and allowing you to participate in, references and testimonials.
- Promoting and marketing our current and future services to you, informing you of upcoming events and special offers, and analysing our services to improve and develop new services.
- Facilitating our business operations, including fulfilling any legal and regulatory requirements and enforcing our agreements, terms of business, and terms of use.
- Improving the operation or navigation of our websites.
We may also use your personal information for other purposes not listed above, which will be made clear to you at the time we collect your personal information or as required or permitted by law.
Disclosure of Personal Information to Third Parties
We may disclose personal information we collect from you:
- To our related companies, suppliers, consultants (including lawyers and accountants), contractors, or agents for the purposes set out in the section above entitled “How Your Personal Information Will Be Used” or for other purposes directly related to the purpose for which the personal information is collected. For example, your name and telephone number may be disclosed to our supplier to enable that supplier to respond to your request for information about a particular product or service it produces.
- To others that you have been informed of at the time any personal information is collected from you.
- With your consent (express or implied) to others.
Opting Out
You will generally be given the opportunity to “opt-out” from receiving marketing communications from us. You may “opt-out” from receiving these marketing communications by clicking on an unsubscribe link at the end of an email or by contacting us with this request.
Employment Applications
Generally, the type of personal information we collect about applicants is the information included in your application for employment. This may include your name, postal address, telephone number, email address, education details, employment history, and other information relating to your work experience. In considering your application, we may also obtain personal information about you from third parties, such as your previous employers or nominated referees. We may also collect sensitive information about you, such as information about your health (including any disability) or any criminal record you may have.
