01 / WHO WE ARE
Evolution
Evolution Building Solutions Limited, trading as Evolution Construction & Interiors, is an Auckland-based architectural joinery business. In this statement, “Evolution”, “we”, “us” and “our” refer to that business.
02 / WHAT WE COLLECT
Information you provide
When you contact us or submit a project enquiry, we may collect your name, email address, phone number, company, project location, project details, timing, budget information and any files or other information you choose to provide.
We may also receive technical information generated when you use the website, such as browser, device, IP address, server-log and page-usage information, where this is collected by our website or hosting services.
03 / WHY WE COLLECT IT
Purpose of collection
We use personal information to respond to enquiries, assess project suitability, prepare proposals or estimates, communicate about current or potential work, maintain business records, improve our website and services, protect our systems, and meet legal or regulatory obligations.
We will not use personal information for an unrelated purpose unless you authorise it or the law permits or requires us to do so.
04 / YOUR CHOICE
Providing information is voluntary
You do not have to provide personal information through this website. However, if the information needed to understand or respond to an enquiry is not provided, we may be unable to assess the project, prepare a response or continue the conversation.
05 / ACCESS AND SHARING
Who may receive it
Personal information may be accessed by authorised Evolution team members and by service providers that support our website, forms, email, file storage, IT systems, professional advice or business administration.
We may also disclose information where reasonably necessary to deliver requested work, with your permission, or where required by law. We do not sell personal information.
06 / STORAGE AND SECURITY
How we protect information
We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect personal information from loss, unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or disclosure. No internet transmission or storage system is completely secure, but access is limited to people and providers who need it for a legitimate business purpose.
Where a service provider processes information outside New Zealand, we take reasonable steps to ensure the information is handled with appropriate privacy safeguards.
07 / RETENTION
How long we keep it
We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected, to maintain project and business records, or to meet legal, accounting or dispute-resolution requirements. Information that is no longer required is securely deleted or de-identified where practicable.
08 / OTHER SOURCES
Information collected indirectly
We generally collect personal information directly from the person concerned. Where we collect information about someone from another person or source, we will take reasonable steps to make that person aware of the collection when required by the Privacy Act 2020.
09 / YOUR RIGHTS
Access and correction
You may ask for access to the personal information we hold about you and request correction if it is inaccurate or incomplete. We may need to verify your identity before responding.
