1. INFORMATION ITW COLLECTS FROM YOU AND HOW WE USE IT

COLLECTION AND USE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION

We collect information on this Website that can be used to identify or contact a particular person (we refer to this type of information as “personal information“). Personal information includes information that does not directly identify you by name or include your contact information, but which may be used to identify that a specific computer or device has accessed our Website and which if combined with certain other information could be used to identify you. The types of personal information we collect and process include:

  • Full name
  • Contact information (work or home postal address; work, mobile or home telephone number; work or home fax number; work or personal email address)
  • Employer and job title
  • Education and experience information (CV information; professional experience; education; certifications; personal interests)
  • Internet Protocol (IP) address
  • Log data 
  • Location data 
  • Cookie data 
  • Social media use and utilization

We actively collect personal information from our Website visitors when they provide it to us directly in responding to specific questions or requests on the Website (e.g., personal information provided through our Website submission form or careers page). ITW uses this information for the purposes of pursuing its ordinary course of business as described in more detail below. For example, if you submit an inquiry to us through our Website submission form, your personal information will be used to track and respond to your inquiry and provide you with the information and support requested. Similarly, if you provide your resume to ITW for purposes of obtaining employment, the resume will be used for activities related to your potential employment. The personal information that you are asked to provide, and the reasons why you are asked to provide it, will be made clear to you at the point we ask you to provide your personal information on the Website.

From time to time, we may also use your personal information to send important notices, such as communications about changes to our terms, conditions, and policies (such as changes to this Privacy Statement when required under applicable law). Because this information is important to your interaction with ITW, you may not opt-out of receiving such communications.

To the extent non-personal information (e.g., log data, location data, or cookie data) is combined with personal information, we treat such combined information as personal information for purposes of this Privacy Statement. We use this combined information for the purposes described in the Collection and Use of Non-Personal Information section below, our Cookie Notice, and as otherwise described in this Privacy Statement.

COMPATIBILITY

In general and as required under applicable law, we will use the personal information we collect from you only for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement or for purposes that we explain to you at the time we collect your personal information. However, we may also use your personal information for other purposes that are not incompatible with the purposes we have disclosed to you (such as archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes) if and where this is permitted by applicable data protection laws. In any event, we take commercially reasonable steps to ensure that your personal information is reliable for its intended use, accurate, complete, and, where necessary, kept up-to-date.

LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL INFORMATION (EUROPEAN VISITORS ONLY)

If you are a visitor from the European Economic Area, the legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described in this Privacy Statement will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it. However, the applicable legal basis for our processing of your personal information normally includes one of the following:

  • Based on your consent. In some cases, at the point at which you provide personal information, we may ask you for your consent to collect and process such information. If you choose to provide us with your consent, you may later withdraw your consent (or opt-out) by contacting us using the contact details provided under the How You Can Contact ITW section below. Please note that if you withdraw your consent it will not affect any processing of your personal information that has already occurred. Where we process your personal information based on consent, we will provide more detailed information to you at the time when we obtain your consent.
  • Performance of a contract. In specific circumstances, we may need to process your personal information to fulfill our obligations under a contract to which you are subject. Where we are processing your personal information to fulfill our obligations under a contract to which you are a party, you may not be able to object to such processing, or if you do choose to opt-out or object to such processing, it may impact our ability to perform a contractual obligation that you are owed.
  • Compliance with applicable laws. In specific circumstances, we may need to process your personal information to comply with an applicable law. Where we process your personal information to meet our legal obligations, you will likely not be permitted to object to such processing, but you will usually have the right to access or review the relevant personal information unless it would impede our legal obligations.
  • ITW’s legitimate interests. We may process your personal information based on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party) to the extent such interests are not overridden by your data protection interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. In such cases, you have the right to object to the relevant processing of your personal information by contacting us as described under the How You Can Contact ITW section below.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contact with you, we will make this clear at the relevant time and advise you whether the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information). Similarly, if we collect and use your personal information in reliance on our legitimate interests (or those of any third party), we will make such legitimate interests clear to you at the relevant time.

If you have questions about or need further information concerning the legal basis on which we collect and use your personal information, please contact us using the contact details provided under the How You Can Contact ITW section below.

COLLECTION AND USE OF NON-PERSONAL INFORMATION

Like most web sites, when you use our Website, we passively collect certain non-personal information that does not, on its own, identify any particular individual. The types of non-personal information we collect and process include:

  • Log data. When you use or interact with our Website, our servers record certain information that is automatically reported by your browser (such as Apple’s Safari, Microsoft’s Edge, Google’s Chrome, or Mozilla’s Firefox) or device each time you request our Website, or when content is downloaded to your browser or device from our Website. This “log data” includes your IP address (which is used to infer approximate location); Internet service provider; browser type and settings (e.g., content language, cookie/DNT preferences); device information (e.g., type of device, operating system, device manufacturer); referring/exiting URL; request/response date and time; clickstream data; device ID or advertising ID; and data contained in first-party cookies and similar technologies (discussed further below and in our Cookie Notice). Some of the information we collect depends on the settings on your web browser. Please check your web browser if you want to learn what information your browser sends or how to change your settings. To the extent that IP addresses or similar identifiers are considered personal information under applicable law, we also treat such identifiers as personal information.
  • Location data. Depending on your computer or device permissions, we may collect information about your device’s approximate (e.g., country or zip code) or precise location (“location data“). Various technologies may be used to collect this location information, such as IP address, GPS, and other sensors that may provide information on nearby devices, Wi-Fi access points, and cell towers. We will only collect your computer’s or device’s precise location with your consent.

We passively collect the information described above to understand what areas of this Website are most popular, which areas may require improvement, and what technologies are being used by our visitors. This information helps us to better understand visitor behavior and to update and improve this Website and our advertising. We also use this information for security purposes, to detect and to block security breaches, and to provide you with a safe online environment. Please see our Cookie Notice below to learn more about our collection and use of non-personal information through the use of Cookies and Similar Technologies on our Website.

In addition, when we aggregate or anonymize information (including personal information), such aggregated or anonymized data is considered non personal information for the purposes of this Privacy Statement and may be used and shared by us for any legitimate business purpose.

If we combine non-personal information with personal information, such combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.

2. USE OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES (“COOKIE NOTICE”)

OVERVIEW OF COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

We use the following types of Cookies and Similar Technologies on our Website:

  • Cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent to and stored by your browser when you visit or interact with our Website. These cookies are then sent back unchanged to the party that served the cookie each time you visit or interact with our Website in order for the party that served the cookie to recognize your browser or device. Cookies are either first-party cookies or third-party cookies. “First-party cookies” are sent to your browser by the party that operates the site you are visiting (e.g., cookies served by ITW when you visit our Website). “Third-party cookies” are sent to your browser by any party other than the party that operates the site you are visiting (e.g., cookies sent by our online partners, such as Google, when you visit our Website). Further, when we use cookies, we may use “session” cookies (that last until you close your browser) or “persistent” cookies (that last until you or your browser delete them). Some of the cookies we use on Website may be associated with your personal information (such as your e-mail address) and other cookies are not. However, if we associate non-personal information (such as cookie data) with personal information, the combined information will be treated as personal information for as long as it remains combined.
  • Pixel Tags. Pixel tags (also known as web beacons) are small blocks of code installed on our Website which enable our online partners to serve cookies when you visit our Website and are generally used in combination with cookies to track visitor activity on our Website, receive relevant log data, location data and cookie data, and perform other activities relating to the monitoring and analysis of the use and performance of our Website.

We use cookies and similar technologies on our Website to help us secure our Website, as well as the information processed by our Website; to monitor and enhance the performance of our Website; to allow visitors to navigate between Website pages efficiently; understand Website visitor behavior and preferences, and to store such preferences; and to facilitate and measure the effectiveness of advertisements and Website features.

COOKIES USED ON OUR WEBSITE AND YOUR COOKIE CHOICES

Our Website utilizes the following cookies and similar technologies:

We use Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics cookies to collect information about how people use our Website and to find out things such as the number of visitors to the various parts of the Website. We do this to make sure the Website is meeting our visitors’ needs and to understand how we can improve the Website. Google Analytics stores information about what Website pages you visit, how long you are on the Website, how you got here, and what you click on.

You can learn more about cookies and how to manage them at www.AboutCookies.org.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLUGINS

Our Website may use Social Media Plugins to enable you to easily share information with others. When you visit our Website, the operator of the social media plugin that is on our Website can place a cookie on your computer that lets such operator recognize individuals on their website who have previously visited our Website. If you have previously logged into the social media website while browsing on our Website, social media plugins may allow that social media website to receive directly identifiable information about you that shows you have visited our Website. The social media plugin may collect this information for visitors who have logged into social networks, whether or not they specifically interact with the plugin on our Website. Social media plugins also allow the social media website to share information about your activities on our Website with other users of their social media website. ITW does not control any of the content from social media plugins. For more information about social plugins from social media websites, you should refer to those sites’ privacy and data sharing statements.

DO NOT TRACK

There are different ways you can prevent tracking of your online activity. One of them is setting a preference in your browser that alerts websites you visit that you do not want them to collect certain information about you. This is referred to as a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) signal. Please note that currently our Website does not respond to these signals from web browsers. At this time, there is no universally accepted standard for what a company should do when a DNT signal is detected.

3. HOW LONG WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

ITW implements and maintains reasonable restrictions on the retention of personal information collected through this Website and generally disposes of such personal information once it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or further processed. However, we may continue to store archived copies of your personal information for legitimate business purposes and as necessary to comply with applicable law. In addition, we may continue to store anonymous, aggregated or anonymized information for any legitimate business use described in this Privacy Statement.

4. HOW WE SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION

We may share your personal information with the following categories of recipients:

  • Service providers and business partners. We disclose your personal information to third parties who provide us with various data processing services (e.g., monitoring, securing and maintaining our Website, or preparing emails and other electronic communications on our behalf) or who otherwise process personal information for purposes that are described in this Privacy Statement or notified to you when we collect your personal information on the Website.
  • ITW affiliates and business units. We share personal information with our affiliates and business units who process personal information for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement or as notified to you when we collect your personal information.

  • Other parties based on your consent. We may share personal information with any other person with your consent to such disclosure.

What personal information do we collect and how do we collect it?
We collect personal information in a variety of ways, including when you interact with us in writing, electronically or by telephone and when you communicate with us through our website or social media sites. The kinds of personal information we collect and hold about you will depend on the nature of your dealings with us and the circumstances of collection, including whether we collect the information from you as a customer, supplier, contractor, job applicant or in some other capacity.


For example, we collect personal information from you when you register on our website, subscribe to our newsletter or fill out a form.


When ordering or registering on our website, as appropriate, you may be asked to enter your: name, email address, mailing address, phone number, credit card information or Tax File Number. You may, however, visit our website anonymously or pseudonymously.


If you deal with us in some other capacity, we may collect your name and contact details and any other information you choose to provide to us. We may also collect details of the interactions you have with us.


(For Australia only) We do not generally collect sensitive information (such as health information) and we will only collect sensitive information about you with your consent unless we are otherwise required or authorised by or under law to do so.   


If you provide us with personal information about another person, please make sure that you inform them of this privacy policy.


If you are or have been our employee, the handling of your personal information may be exempt from the Australian Privacy Principles if it is directly related to your employment relationship with us.

We collect, hold, use and disclose personal information for a variety of business purposes, including:

How do we hold and protect your personal information?
We generally hold personal information in computer systems, including computer systems operated for us by our service providers. We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. This includes taking appropriate security measures to protect electronic materials, and requiring our service providers to do so too.


For example, we implement a variety of security measures to maintain the safety of your personal information when you enter, submit or access your personal information through our website.


We offer the use of a secure server. All supplied sensitive/credit information is transmitted using the latest 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption technology and then encrypted into our payment gateway provider’s database only to be accessible by those authorised with special access rights to such systems, and are required to keep the information confidential.


256-bit SSL encryption is approximated to take at least one trillion years to break, and is the industry standard. If you have any questions regarding our privacy and security policy, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..


Processing of payments occurs using third party payment gateways and as such, your credit card information is never stored on our servers.

 

Do we use cookies?
Yes. Cookies are small files that a website or its service provider transfers to your computer’s hard drive through your Web browser (if you allow) that enables the websites or service provider’s systems to recognise your browser and capture and remember certain information.

We use cookies on our website to understand and save your preferences for future visits and compile aggregate data about site traffic and site interaction so that we can offer better site experiences and tools in the future.

 

Do we disclose personal information to outside parties?

In conducting our operations, we may disclose your personal information to other entities. For example, we may disclose your personal information where appropriate:

  • between ITW Australia and ITW New Zealand, and to our other related bodies corporate;
  • to our contracted service providers, including contractors who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you;
  • to law enforcement agencies;
  • in the case of a sale of our business (in whole or part), to the purchaser (as an asset of the business);
  • if you are a job applicant, referees whose details you have provided to us.


We may also disclose your personal information to other third parties and for other purposes where we are required or authorised by or under law to do so (including where you have provided your consent).

In addition, non-personally identifiable website visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.


Third party links
Occasionally, at our discretion, we may include or offer third party products or services on our website. These third party sites have separate and independent privacy policies. We therefore have no responsibility or liability for the content and activities of these linked sites. Nonetheless, we seek to protect the integrity of our site and welcome any feedback about these sites.

 

How you can access your information

Australia
You can request access to the personal information which we hold about you by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.. Under some circumstances, we may be permitted or required by the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) to deny access. We will respond to your request for access within a reasonable period, and we reserve the right to charge a reasonable sum in connection with the granting of access (but not in connection with your application for access).


New Zealand
If your personal information is readily retrievable, you are permitted to access it. Under some circumstances, we may be permitted or required under part 4 of the Privacy Act 2020 (NZ) to deny access. We will respond to your request for access as soon as is reasonably practicable, and in any case not later than 20 working days after the day on which the request is received. At our sole discretion, we may consider a written request for urgency to access your personal information. We reserve the right to charge a reasonable sum in connection with the granting of access (but not in connection with your application for access or in connection with transferring your personal information to another entity).

 

Correction of information
If you advise us that the information which we hold about you is incorrect, we will take reasonable steps to correct it; if we do not correct the information as requested by you, you may have rights of recourse as set out in the Australian Privacy Principles or the Privacy Act 2020 (NZ), as the case may be.

 

If you have a complaint

Your complaint will be investigated as soon as practicable and we will notify you of the outcome when the investigation is complete. Alternatively, or if you are dissatisfied with our internal response to your complaint, you have the right to pursue the matter direct with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner or with the Office of the New Zealand Privacy Commissioner, as the case may be.

 

Overseas transmissions
Personal information which ITW Australia collects from you will generally be stored in and remain at all times in Australia or New Zealand.  However, some of ITW Australia's IT service providers use data centres located outside Australia and New Zealand and, as a result, personal information collected and held by ITW Australia may be transferred to IT service providers in other countries.  In addition, ITW Australia may from time to time disclose personal information to its related bodies corporate located in the US. 


It is possible that some limited personal information may on occasions be transmitted to recipients located outside Australian or New Zealand in connection with website development work, specifically to ensure our applications function across multiple jurisdictions.


Where the transfer occurs from New Zealand, ITW New Zealand will comply with any Transfer Prohibition Notice issued by the Privacy Commissioner and in any event ensure that your information is transferred by us and handled by the overseas recipient in a manner consistent with the Information Privacy Principles.


European Union Data Subjects
If you are located in the European Union and we process your personal information outside the EU with the objective of offering you goods or services or otherwise monitoring your behaviour, we will handle your personal information in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We will continue to handle your personal information in accordance with Australian or New Zealand privacy laws (as the case may be) and this privacy policy, but you may have additional rights under the GDPR. We have a separate privacy policy which explains how we handle your information under the GDPR, and this can be accessed here.

 

Changes to our Privacy Policy
We may amend this privacy policy from time to time at our discretion. Amended versions will be posted at https://www.buildex.com.au/privacy-policy-new/
