Privacy Policy

How 22 Civil collects, uses, stores and protects your personal information under the Australian Privacy Principles.

Who we are

22 Civil is a civil construction contractor based at 10 Smith Street, Parramatta NSW 2150, providing land development, subdivision, earthworks, shoring, remediation, asbestos removal and demolition across Greater Sydney and NSW. In this policy, “22 Civil”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to our business.

We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs). This policy explains what we collect, why, how we look after it and how you can access or correct it.

What personal information we collect

We only collect information we need to respond to you, quote and deliver your project. Depending on how you deal with us, this may include:

  • your name, company, phone number and email address
  • the site address or suburb and your preferred start date
  • the services you are interested in and details of your project
  • plans, drawings, reports, photos and other documents you upload or send to us
  • how you heard about us, if you choose to tell us
  • records of our calls, emails, quotes, contracts and site visits

We do not ask for sensitive information such as health details. If a document you send happens to contain information about other people, such as neighbours named in a dilapidation report, we handle it under this policy and only use it for your project.

How we collect it

We collect personal information directly from you when you fill in the quote form on our website, call or email us, meet us on site, or engage us for work. Sometimes we receive it from your consultants, builder, certifier or project manager when they share project documents with us. Where it is lawful and practical, you can deal with us without identifying yourself, for example when asking a general question by phone, but we will need your details to quote or carry out work.

Our enquiry form

When you submit the quote form on our Contact page:

  • the details you enter are sent by email to our team at info@22civil.com.au, and a copy is stored securely in our website so we can follow up
  • an automatic confirmation email is sent to the email address you provide, so please check it is correct
  • a hidden anti-spam field helps block automated submissions, and the form may use Google reCAPTCHA, which collects device and usage information that Google handles under its own privacy policy

Form entries stored on the website are only accessible to authorised 22 Civil staff and our website administrators.

File uploads

You can upload plans, reports and photos with your enquiry (PDF, DWG, JPG or PNG, up to five files). Uploaded files are stored on our website hosting server in a location that is not linked from the public website, and a reference to them is included in the enquiry email to our team.

We use uploaded files only to assess, quote and deliver your project. Please only upload documents you are entitled to share and avoid including personal information that is not needed for the job. We delete uploaded files from the website once they are no longer needed for quoting or the project, and in any case we review stored enquiries regularly.

How we handle email

Website emails are sent through a secure, authenticated email service connected to our domain. Emails and attachments you send us are kept in our business mailbox, which is password protected and only accessible to staff who need them. We will never ask you to send bank card details or passwords by email.

Why we use your information

We use personal information to:

  • respond to your enquiry and arrange site inspections
  • prepare quotes, programmes and contracts
  • plan and carry out the work safely, including notifications to SafeWork NSW, councils and utility authorities where required
  • coordinate with your consultants, certifiers and other contractors on the project
  • issue invoices and manage payments
  • meet our legal, safety, insurance and record keeping obligations
  • improve our services and website

We only send marketing emails if you have agreed to receive them, and you can opt out at any time by replying or using the unsubscribe link.

Who we share it with

We do not sell or rent personal information. We may share it, only as needed, with:

  • your project team, such as consultants, engineers, certifiers, surveyors and environmental or hygiene assessors
  • subcontractors, licensed waste and disposal facilities and plant transport providers working on your job
  • government bodies and regulators such as SafeWork NSW, councils and utility authorities
  • our insurers, accountants, lawyers and IT, website hosting and email providers
  • anyone else where we are required or authorised by law

Some of our service providers, such as cloud email, website and storage providers, may store information on servers outside Australia. Where this happens we take reasonable steps to make sure they protect it in line with the APPs.

Cookies and website analytics

Our website uses cookies that are needed for it to work securely and quickly, such as security and caching cookies. The map on our Contact page is provided by Google Maps, which may set its own cookies when it loads. If we use analytics tools, they collect anonymous information such as pages visited and device type to help us improve the site. You can block or delete cookies in your browser settings, although some parts of the site may not work as intended.

How we protect and keep it

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Our website uses an encrypted connection (HTTPS), a firewall and login protection, and access to stored information is limited to people who need it. We keep project records for as long as we need them for the work, warranty and legal, safety and tax obligations, then securely delete or de-identify them.

Accessing and correcting your information

You can ask for a copy of the personal information we hold about you, or ask us to correct it, by contacting us using the details below. We will respond within a reasonable time, usually 30 days. If we cannot give you access or make a correction, we will explain why in writing.

Complaints

If you have a concern about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us first so we can try to resolve it. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au or on 1300 363 992.
