Privacy Policy

Urban CGI will comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (Privacy Act) including the Australian Privacy Principles, when handling your personal information.

Protecting your personal information is important to Urban CGI, and the following is a statement of how Urban CGI collects, holds, uses and discloses your personal information.

What is personal information?

Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified, or reasonably identifiable, individual. In the course of providing its services and carrying out its functions and activities, Urban CGI may collect your personal information.

Information Urban CGI collects

Generally, the kinds of personal information Urban CGI collects are:

  • General contact and identification information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, facsimile number, age or date of birth;
  • Profession, occupation or job title and name and contact details of your employer; and
  • Other information relevant in the circumstances.

How Urban CGI collects personal information

Generally, Urban CGI collects your personal information directly from you, through the completion of a manual or online form, an interaction or exchange in person or by way of telephone, facsimile, email, post or through the use of the Urban CGI website.

For example, personal information may be collected when you submit any messages or comments via the website enquiry form or an email.

There may be occasions when Urban CGI collects your personal information from other sources such as:

  • From your employer or former employer;
  • Regulatory authorities;
  • A publicly maintained record or other publicly available sources of information including social media and similar websites;
  • If for recruitment purposes, an external recruitment or background screening services provider; or
  • From an information services provider.

Generally, Urban CGI will only collect your personal information from sources other than you if it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect your personal information from you or if you consent or it is otherwise required by law.

Purposes for use of personal information

Urban CGI collects, holds, uses and discloses your personal information where it is reasonably necessary for one or more of Urban CGI’s functions or activities, including:

  • The provision of Urban CGI’s services;
  • Its internal recruitment processes for potential employment with Urban CGI;
  • In connection with the engagement of contractors or contracting with suppliers;
  • For operational functions associated with the management of employees and contractors;
  • For administrative and business management purposes;
  • For marketing purposes and to identify and inform you of products or services that may be of interest to you; and
  • Any other legal requirement.

Urban CGI may also use your personal information for purposes related to the above purposes and for which you would reasonably expect Urban CGI to do so in the circumstances, or where you have consented or the use is otherwise in accordance with law.

Where personal information is used or disclosed, Urban CGI takes steps reasonable in the circumstances to ensure it is relevant to the purpose for which it is to be used or disclosed.

You are under no obligation to provide your personal information to Urban CGI. However, without certain information from you, Urban CGI may not be able to provide its services to you.
