CNI Corporate is subject to the National Privacy Principles in the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000.
We are required to adhere to the National Privacy Principles when we collect, use, disclose or store an individual's personal information.
Without recording certain personal information it is impossible for us to conduct our business and to provide the quality of service which our clients and customers (both current and prospective) expect of us.
By collecting and maintaining the accuracy and currency of this information:
we are able to attend to the administration of our services;
we are able to determine ongoing requirements for our services to current and prospective clients;
we are able to assess how our services can be improved;
we are able to maintain and strengthen our ongoing business relationships and
we are able to comply with the law as and when required in the conduct of business.
How we collect your personal information
We generally collect your personal information directly from you. For example, we may collect personal information about you when you deal with us over the telephone, make enquiries about properties for sale or lease or about our services, send us instructions, applications or other correspondence (whether by letter, fax or e-mail), visit our web site and ask to be kept posted by us on information, or when you have contact with us in person.
Generally, the type of personal information we collect about you is the information included in your instructions, enquiry or application, for example, your name, mailing address, telephone number and e-mail address. In some special circumstances, we may also collect sensitive information about you such as when you are applying to lease a property. There may be occasions when we need to source personal information about you from a third party. For example, we may collect personal information from credit reference agencies (such as Dun & Bradstreet).
CNI Corporate disclosure statement
CNI Corporate collects personal information for the following purposes:
to provide advice to clients;
to assess tenancy applications;
to provide the services you have asked us to carry out;
to contract external contractors and consultants; and
to maintain databases on properties and property owners, purchasers, tenants, landlords as well as other agents and consultants.
In some circumstances, we collect personal information about you from a third party source (eg. credit reference agencies). If we collect personal information about you in this way, we will take reasonable steps to contact you and ensure that you are aware of the purposes for which we are collecting your personal information and the organisations which we might give your personal information.
Except where it is required by law, we only disclose your personal information to third parties with your express or implied consent. We may disclose your personal information to:
mailing services for promotional and marketing material;
in the case of tenancies, to the property owners and third party service providers; and
other parties actually or potentially involved in property transactions in accordance with your instructions or interests in those transactions.
We may disclose your personal information for purposes related or ancillary to the main reason we collect it. As an example, we may forward credit checks or other information to the property owners. We do not disclose personal information we collect to third parties for the purposes of allowing them to direct market their products and services.
We sometimes engage third party contractors to perform services for us which involves the contractor handling personal information we hold. We engage third party contractors to prepare mail-outs of promotional and marketing material. In these situations, we prohibit the third party contractor from using personal information about you except for the specific purpose for which we supply it.

We may use your personal information for purposes related or ancillary to the main reason we collect it, such as servicing and maintaining our relationship with you, maintaining our information databases and or sending you promotional or marketing material.
