privacy policy

Tridas Projects understands that details you provide us with are not only private and personal but that how we collect, use, hold, exchange and protect your information is important to you. It’s critical that you feel secure whenever you deal with us. It’s also important that you understand how we protect your privacy, as well as how, when and where we may use your personal information. This Privacy Policy is our commitment to you on what our policies towards your privacy are. You can be confident in the fact that we abide by and are bound by the Privacy Act and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) for the protection of personal information.

We collect personal information to identify you and gain an overall picture of your personal circumstances which include but not limited to contact details, marital status, living arrangements, financial details and objectives.

We may also collect sensitive information for specific purposes. For example, information about your health to enable the credit provider to assess an application you make for mortgage protection insurance and calculate any premiums. If we need this type of information, we will ask for your consent. Sensitive information is a subset of personal information.

Our aim is to collect personal information directly from you. Certain personal information is required by external and third-party organisations which we may need to contact on your behalf such as for the purpose of obtaining credit reports etc. On such occasions, you will be notified by us of the requirement.

We collect, use, hold and exchange your personal information so that we can maintain a customer relationship with you, submit your application for credit, (unless you tell us not to) provide marketing material about our / supplier products and services, internal reporting, comply with regulatory obligations, and any other reasonable reason to improve the overall experience to our customers.

Direct marketing – we may use the information we collect from you to provide information about our products and services we think will be of interest to you.

For instance, we may be required under the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act to disclose details of financial transactions and we may also be compelled under tax laws to provide such information to regulators.

Other organisations which we may exchange your personal information with may include:

  • Credit providers;
  • Credit reporting bodies;
  • Government and law enforcement agencies;
  • Our suppliers, affiliates, associates, service providers or contractors (including, for example, call centre, stationery printing houses, mail houses, information technology, marketing agencies, and marketing research companies etc);
  • Any person who proposes to guarantee or has guaranteed repayment of any credit provided to you;
  • Mortgage insurers, brokers, originators and/or managers, financial consultants, accountants, lawyers or real estate agents;

  • Third parties to enable them to contact you to offer their products and services or to determine if you would be interested in the products and services; and
