Tekna Homes's Personal Information Handling Practices

What is personal information?

"Personal information" means information or an opinion (whether true or not, and whether it is recorded in a material form or not) about an identified individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable.

What personal information does Tekna Homes collect and hold?

The types of information we collect and hold includes (but is not limited to) personal information about customers, prospective employees and contractors, which may include, for example, an individual's name, title, email address, address, organisation, financial information (such as a customer's bank statements) and phone number.

We collect and hold personal information from individuals who communicate with us directly via telephone, email, in person, or through our website (including prospective employees and individuals who are contacting us on behalf of a business that wishes to engage our services or enquire about our products). We may also collect your personal information from third parties for the purpose of conducting our business.

We will only collect your personal information from third parties with your consent, unless it is unreasonable or impracticable to do so.

You can always choose to deal with us anonymously (or by providing a pseudonym), unless it is impracticable for us to deal with you on that basis.

We usually collect information directly from you when you visit a display centre, make a phone call, send us an email or submit personal information to us via our website or through a written application. If you choose not to provide your personal information to Tekna Homes this may affect your ability to enquire about or engage our services, enquire about prospective employment with us or utilise the functionalities of our website.
