Privacy Policy

 

Approach to Privacy

RMA Engineers Pty Ltd ATF Rowen Meyer & Wardle Unit Trust (“RMA”) is committed to protecting the privacy of personal information and meeting any privacy obligations set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (‘the Privacy Act’) that might apply. Any organisation covered by the Privacy Act must have a privacy policy in place which deals with the collection and use of individuals’ personal information.

RMA collects personal information to conduct its business and comply with a range of legislative requirements.

The purpose of this policy is to overview how RMA handles personal information of clients and other parties external to RMA. RMA may also have a separate privacy policy that addresses the collection and use of personal information of employees and independent contractors.

By providing RMA with personal information, you consent to the collection, use, disclosure, storage and transfer of that personal information as set out in this policy.
