1. The information we collect

We collect personal information that is reasonably necessary for our business functions and activities. The types of information we collect include:

• Marketing information such as your communication preferences and your interactions with our emails and website.
• Technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and how you use our website, collected through cookies and similar technologies.
• Client and candidate information processed through the TiQ platform and our advisory services, which may include assessment responses, capability data, and related early talent information. This information is described in more detail in Section 8.

2. How we collect information

We collect personal information in a number of ways, including:

• Directly from you, when you contact us, complete a form, subscribe to communications, or engage our services.
• Automatically, through cookies and analytics tools when you visit our website.
• From our clients, when they provide information as part of an advisory engagement or their use of the TiQ platform.
• From third parties such as LinkedIn and other advertising or lead generation platforms, where you have submitted your details through one of our campaigns.

3. Why we collect and use information

We collect, hold and use personal information to:

• Provide, operate and improve our services, including the TiQ platform and our advisory practice.
• Respond to your enquiries and requests.
• Send you marketing communications about our services, where you have consented or where otherwise permitted by law.
• Understand and improve how our website and communications are used.

Where we send you marketing communications, you can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in our emails or by contacting us directly.

4. Disclosure of information

We may disclose personal information to:

• Our service providers and technology partners who help us operate our business and deliver our services, such as hosting, email, analytics, and advertising providers.
• Our clients, where the information relates to an engagement or platform use carried out on their behalf.
• Professional advisers, such as our lawyers and accountants, where reasonably required.
• Government or regulatory bodies, where required or authorised by law.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

5. Overseas disclosure

Some of our service providers may store or process information outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure that your information is handled in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles and is afforded an appropriate level of protection.

6. Cookies and analytics

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to help it function, to remember your preferences, and to understand how visitors use the site. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, although some features of the website may not function properly if you do so.

7. Data security and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure. These steps include appropriate technical and organisational security measures.

We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. When information is no longer required, we take reasonable steps to securely destroy or de-identify it.

8. The TiQ platform and candidate data

Where we provide the TiQ platform and advisory services to a client organisation, that organisation is generally responsible for the personal information of candidates and employees that is processed through the platform. In these arrangements, TectoniQ acts on the instructions of the client organisation.

If you are a candidate or employee whose information has been processed through TiQ, and you have a question about how your information is handled, please contact the organisation you applied to or work for in the first instance. You may also contact us using the details below.

9. Accessing and correcting your information

You have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, and to ask us to correct it if it is inaccurate, out of date, or incomplete. To make a request, please contact us using the details below. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

10. Complaints

If you have a concern or complaint about how we have handled your personal information, please contact us using the details below and we will respond as soon as reasonably possible. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at www.oaic.gov.au.
