At Bison Constructions, we respect and protect the privacy of our workers, clients, prospective clients, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and other stakeholders we interact with. This Privacy Policy explains the types of personal information we collect, why we collect it, how we use, store, disclose, retain and protect it, and how we manage personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), the Australian Privacy Principles and any other applicable privacy requirements.
This Policy applies to Bison Constructions, its directors, managers, employees, contractors, subcontractors, consultants and other representatives who collect, use, disclose, store or otherwise handle personal information on behalf of the business. All Bison Constructions personnel are responsible for complying with this Policy and handling personal information lawfully, fairly and securely.

Personal information is information or an opinion that identifies, or could reasonably identify, an individual. Depending on your relationship with Bison Constructions, this may include your name, contact details, date of birth, identification information, emergency contact details, employment details, qualifications, licences, training records, health and safety information, financial or banking details, tax or superannuation information, recruitment information, contractor or supplier details, communications with us and other information reasonably necessary for our business activities or legal obligations.
We collect personal information where it is reasonably necessary for our business activities, including to provide services, manage client, worker, contractor and supplier relationships, administer agreements, process applications or requests, manage safety and security, communicate with you, respond to enquiries or complaints, conduct marketing or research where permitted, maintain records, manage risk and insurance, and comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
We generally collect personal information directly from you where reasonable and practicable. We may also collect information from employers, clients, contractors, recruitment providers, referees, insurers, regulators, government agencies, service providers, publicly available sources or authorised representatives where necessary. Communications with us may be monitored or recorded where lawful and reasonably necessary for quality, training, compliance, dispute management or security purposes.
We may use your personal information for marketing, research or feedback where permitted by law. You may opt out of future direct marketing at any time by using the unsubscribe function in our communications or by contacting us in writing.
Sensitive information includes information about matters such as health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union membership, criminal record and other information defined as sensitive under the Privacy Act.
We will only collect sensitive information where it is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities and where we have your consent, or where collection is required or authorised by law. Sensitive information will be used or disclosed only for the purpose for which it was collected, a directly related secondary purpose you would reasonably expect, with your consent, or where required or authorised by law.
