It explains how CMS handles personal information and complies with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988. If you have further questions relating to this policy please contact us by emailing us, or by calling the Web Administrator on 1300 559 379
CMS recognises the importance of your privacy, and that you have a right to control how your personal information is collected and used
- Collecting information about you
CMS collects personal information from customers, team members, contractors and other individuals. We collect this information when it is necessary for business purposes
The main types of information CMS collects are the contact details of customers such as email address, name, address, as well as interest in event types, and possibly business names and titles in relation to proposals and requests
We collect most of this information directly from individuals when you complete an online proposal request or subscribe to our newsletter. The personal information we collect may be provided on forms filled out by individuals, face to face meetings, email messages, telephone conversations, and information provided by a third party. If you contact us, we may keep a record of that contact
- Using and disclosing your personal information
Our purpose in collecting information about you is to provide you with services that you request and to operate our business efficiently. CMS does not routinely disclose personal information. CMS will not use or disclose any information about you without your consent, unless:
- required by law
- to implement our terms of service
- to protect the rights, property or personal safety of another CMS customer, any member of the public or CMS team
- the assets and operations of the business are transferred to another party as a going concern
When you provide your personal information to us, CMS will give you the choice as to whether or not you wish to receive further information
- Service providers
Like many businesses, CMS uses a range of service providers to help us maximise the quality and efficiency of our services and our business operations. This means that individuals and organisations outside of CMS, will sometimes have access to personal information held by CMS and may use it on behalf of CMS. We require our service providers to adhere to strict privacy guidelines and not to keep this information or use it for any unauthorised purposes
- We will not ‘spam’ you
We may contact you at the email or other address which you provide to us in order to:
- Provide you with updated information about our products and services in the form of a newsletter
- Provide you with other information about other products and services which you may have an interest in

Please allow 14 days for this request to be processed
