1. Introduction
Bevtech respects your privacy and is committed to protecting the personal information we collect and hold. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose and manage personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).
This policy applies to personal information collected through bevtech.com.au, by phone or email, in person, or in the course of providing our engineering, automation and related services to customers.
By using our website or providing us with personal information, you consent to the collection, use and disclosure of that information as described in this policy.
2. What Personal Information We Collect
Depending on how you interact with us, we may collect:
- Contact details — name, business name, job title, email address, phone number, postal address
- Enquiry and project information — details you provide when requesting a quote, submitting an enquiry, or discussing a project (e.g. specifications, site details, correspondence)
- Website usage data — IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referring website, and similar data collected automatically via cookies and analytics tools
- Job applicant information — if you apply for a position with us, your resume, cover letter, references and related employment information
- Supplier/contractor information — business and contact details of suppliers, subcontractors and trade partners
- Any other information you choose to provide to us directly
We do not knowingly collect sensitive information (e.g. health, financial background, or other special category data) unless it is volunteered by you and reasonably necessary for us to provide a service (for example, a workplace health and safety requirement on a client site).
3. How We Collect Personal Information
We generally collect personal information directly from you, including when you:
- Submit an enquiry or contact form on our website
- Email or call us
- Request a quote or engage us for a project
- Apply for a job with us
- Interact with us at trade events or in person
- Browse our website (via cookies and analytics — see Section 7)
Where reasonable and practicable, we collect personal information directly from you. In some cases we may collect information from third parties, such as referrals from existing clients, industry contacts, or publicly available sources (e.g. LinkedIn, company websites).
4. Why We Collect, Hold, Use and Disclose Personal Information
We use personal information to:
- Respond to enquiries and provide quotes
- Deliver our engineering, automation, fabrication and related services
- Manage client and supplier relationships
- Process job applications
- Communicate with you about projects, invoices and account matters

- Send marketing or industry updates (only where you have consented, or as otherwise permitted by law)
- Comply with legal, regulatory, taxation and insurance obligations
- Manage workplace health and safety on client or Bevtech sites
We will not use your personal information for a purpose other than the purpose for which it was collected, unless permitted under the Privacy Act.
5. Disclosure of Personal Information
We may disclose personal information to:
- Employees and contractors of Bevtech who need it to perform their duties
- Subcontractors, trade partners and suppliers engaged to deliver a project
- Professional advisers (e.g. accountants, lawyers, insurers)
- IT service providers, website hosting and analytics providers
- Regulatory bodies, government agencies or law enforcement, where required by law
- A prospective buyer or its advisers, in the event of a sale or restructure of the business
We do not sell personal information to third parties.
6. Overseas Disclosure
Some of the service providers we use (for example, website hosting, email, or analytics platforms such as Google Analytics) may store or process data on servers located outside Australia. Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to ensure overseas recipients handle personal information consistently with the Australian Privacy Principles.
7. Cookies and Website Analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to:
- Understand how visitors use our website
- Improve website functionality and user experience
- Measure the effectiveness of our content
You can disable cookies through your browser settings; however, this may affect the functionality of our website. Our website may use third-party analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics), which collect information such as browser type, pages visited and time spent on site. This information is generally aggregated and not personally identifiable, though IP addresses may be logged.
8. Data Security
We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure, including:
- Restricting access to personal information to authorised personnel
- Using secure systems for storing electronic records
- Password protection and other IT security measures
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security of information transmitted to us electronically.
9. Data Retention
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law (for example, tax and business records must generally be kept for at least five years in Australia). Where no longer required, personal information is securely destroyed or de-identified.
10. Access and Correction
Under the Privacy Act, you have the right to request access to the personal information we hold about you, and to request correction if it is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.
To make a request, contact us using the details in Section 12. We will respond within a reasonable period (generally within 30 days) and may need to verify your identity before providing access. In some circumstances permitted by law, we may decline a request, and if so we will explain why.
