Privacy policy

Who we are

Selective Construction Ltd (PO Box 163127, Lynfield, Auckland) is responsible for the personal information described here. Questions can be sent to admin@selectiveconstructionltd.co.nz or 021 235 7356.

What we collect

When you send an enquiry, register as a subcontractor or accept a quote or contract, we collect what you give us: your name, email, phone, company, property address or suburb, project details, and any plans or files you upload.

Subcontractor registrations also include trades, work areas, team details, licences and pricing you choose to share.

Planning and property checks

Address searches and site coordinates are sent to mapping and planning-data services to retrieve information. These lookups do not themselves create an enquiry. If you request a guide PDF, we save your signup details and include any selected site address in the PDF.

If you choose email delivery, the address is also included in the email and stored with project details for a private enquiry-continuation link. That link expires after seven days; this is an access limit, not a promise that the record is deleted then. Choosing to enquire from a tool temporarily stores the address and project summary in your browser to prefill the enquiry form.

How we use it

To reply to you, visit your site, prepare quotes and contracts, manage your project, invite subcontractors to suitable work, and keep the records building work requires. Subcontractor invitations include the suburb or city, work-package title and scope rather than a dedicated full-address or customer-contact field. Award confirmations share the full site address with the selected subcontractor.

Marketing emails

We only send marketing emails to people who have agreed to receive them. Every marketing email has an unsubscribe link, and opting out takes effect for future sends, as required by the Unsolicited Electronic Messages Act 2007.

Who we share it with

We use trusted service providers to host this website, store our records and send email. They process information on our behalf. We do not sell personal information. We may share details with designers, engineers, councils or subcontractors when needed to deliver your project.

Storage and security

Uploaded plans are kept in private storage and staff open them through short-lived secure links. Staff access requires a personal login. Some service providers may store information outside New Zealand with comparable safeguards.

Cookies and browser storage

We use browser storage needed for the site to work, such as keeping staff signed in. We use simple built-in visitor statistics and no advertising trackers.

Keeping and correcting your information

We keep information for as long as it is needed for your project and our legal and building-record obligations. Under the Privacy Act 2020 you can ask to see or correct the information we hold about you by contacting us. If you are not satisfied with our response, you can contact the Office of the Privacy Commissioner at privacy.org.nz.
