Thanks for visiting Hutchies’ online home! You’re welcome to stay as long as you like. If you do decide to keep using one of our sites, you should know that by doing so you are agreeing to comply (and be bound by) our disclaimer and privacy statement. Together they form Hutchies' Online Terms of Use, so you might want to check them out (you’ll find all the details are on this page – just keep scrolling).

The information that you’re getting from one of our websites is just for general information purposes, provided by us (Hutchies) to you. We always do our best to keep the information up to date and correct, but sometimes people make mistakes and stuff gets out of date. So here are some formal legal-type words just to let you know that you’d best not rely on the info here if you’re using it for something super-important.

Hutchies makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability or availability with respect to one of our websites or information, products, services, or related graphics contained on one of our websites for any purpose. Any reliance you place on such information is therefore strictly at your own risk. You need to make your own enquiries to determine if the information or products are appropriate for your intended use. In no event will we be liable for any loss or damage including without limitation, indirect or consequential loss or damage, or any loss or damage whatsoever arising from loss of data or profits arising out of, or in connection with, the use of a Hutchies website.

All we’re really saying is that you should give us a call or send us an email if you need to confirm any of the info on one of our websites. We’d love to hear from you!

Sometimes we include links to other websites through our sites. These external sites belong to other folks, though, so Hutchies has no control over the content you’ll find there, or whether they work properly. Linking to other sites also doesn’t necessarily mean that we recommend or endorse the stuff that people are saying there, either. 

We’re quite fond of our websites and we always try to keep it running smoothly. Sometimes technical stuff fails, though, and if the site is down for a little while, we take no responsibility, and will not be liable for it being temporarily unavailable due to technical issues beyond our control.

This website and its contents include intellectual property of J Hutchinson Pty Ltd (Hutchies) © 2021. All rights reserved. This extends to copyright, patents and trademarks of Hutchies, including associated words, logos and graphics which are registered trademarks of J Hutchinson Pty Ltd. ABN 52 009 778 330 / ACN 009 778 330.

You may not, except with our express written permission, distribute or commercially exploit the content. You may not transmit it or store it on any other website or other form of electronic retrieval system.

Since you’ve been good enough to drop by a Hutchies website or open an email from us, we want to make sure your privacy is protected and outline how we manage collected data. Any information we collect about you, is used to provide you with material related to our business and anything you tell us will always be kept private and confidential. We always adhere to Australian and International Privacy Principles and Laws. If you’d like some more detail on how we protect your privacy, please read our policy below.

If you want to change any of the details you have provided or unsubscribe, you can do so anytime by sending us an email.

• Systems we collaborate on

This might include basic personal and contact information such as: 

• Name

This enables us to send you information. We may also collect additional data at other times, including but not limited to, when you contact us, provide feedback, participate in training, change your content or email preferences, respond to a survey, or communicate with our people.

We may use personal information collected from you for the purpose of providing you with information about Hutchies including marketing material, updates regarding our business and / or divisions / initiatives, invitations to events, newsletters, and other general information. This will only apply if you have registered or subscribed by providing your details to us in any dealings with Hutchies as outlined above. 

If you want to stop receiving this type of information, just let us know either by email or unsubscribing at any time at the bottom of certain emails. Your request will be actioned immediately. Unless required or authorised by law, or it is impracticable for us to deal with unidentified individuals, you have the right to remain anonymous or to use a pseudonym.

Individual profiles and company details are not used for any other purpose. Details are only supplied to a third party supplier when it is required by law to protect our copyright, trademarks and other legal rights.

We respect the privacy of all our dealings with visitors, including online. We may collect information on or through various forms that can personally identify you. For example, we collect personally identifiable information which you volunteer to us to respond to questions and comments about us and our services, and to mail e-newsletters (the legal folks like to call it 'Personal Data').

We make sure that all reasonable means are used to protect the confidentiality of your Personal Data while it’s in our care and control. We will not knowingly share any of your Personal Data with any third party other than our service providers who assist us in providing the information and / or services we are providing to you. When we do occasionally share your personal information with a service provider, we only ever do so if they agree to comply with our privacy standards as described in this privacy policy. Some of our service providers may be overseas and may not be subject to Australian Privacy Laws. Please contact us if you want to get the specific details. 

We take reasonable steps to ensure the Personal Data we collect is accurate, up to date and complete. You can contact us [here] to let us know if a change to your Personal Data is needed, or if you would like access to your Personal Data. We also take reasonable steps to protect your Personal Data that we hold from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. Unless we are required by law to retain your Personal Data, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify your Personal Data when it is no longer required for the purpose it was collected. 

Any non-personal information, communications and material you submit to us via one of our websites or by email, or which we obtain from third parties without promises of confidentiality, may be kept, used and disclosed by us on a non-confidential basis. We are free to use and reproduce any such information freely, and for any purpose whatsoever. Specifically, we will be free to use any ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained in such information for any purpose, including developing, manufacturing or marketing products.

Cookies

No, not the delicious crunchy kind.

A cookie is a small file placed in your web browser that collects information about your web browsing behaviour. Use of cookies allows a website to tailor its configuration and content to your needs and preferences. Cookies do not access information stored on your computer or any personal information (eg name, address, email address or telephone number). Most web browsers automatically accept cookies but you can choose to reject cookies by changing your browser settings. This may, however, prevent you from taking full advantage of a Hutchies website or system.

Our websites use cookies to analyse website traffic and help us provide you a better experience. Cookies may also be used to show relevant ads to website visitors through third party services such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn or Google AdWords. These ads may appear on this website or other websites you visit.

Disclosure of Your Information

We may, from time to time, need to disclose certain information, which may include your Personal Data, to comply with a legal requirement, such as a law, regulation, court order, subpoena, warrant, in the course of a legal proceeding or in response to a law enforcement agency request. Also, we may use your Personal Data to protect the rights, property or safety of Hutchies, our customers or other third parties.

If there is a change of control in one of our businesses (whether by merger, sale, transfer of assets or otherwise) customer information, which may include your Personal Data, could be disclosed to a potential purchaser under a confidentiality agreement. We would only disclose your information in good faith and where required by any of the above circumstances.

Third Parties

We won’t sell our database. We don’t think that’s okay.

We do not and will not sell or deal in contact information. We will never disclose your personal details to a third party except the necessary information required by providers of products or services you have purchased or to protect the rights, property or safety of Hutchies, our customers or third parties or if required by law.

We might use your information in a general sense, though – without your name – to create statistics, identify trends or demands and to assist it in meeting market needs generally. We might also use the information that is collected to improve our website and services but not for any other use.

Security

Keeping data safe is really important to us. We work hard to ensure the security, integrity and privacy of personal information submitted to our websites, and we periodically update our security measures to keep up with current technologies.

Links

This website may contain links to other websites. These links are meant for your convenience only. Links to third party websites do not constitute sponsorship or endorsement or approval of other content. Please be aware that we are not in control of and have no responsibility for the privacy practices of such other websites. We encourage you to be aware when you leave one of our websites, and to read the privacy statements of each and every website that collects personally identifiable information. This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by the Hutchies’ websites.

Change in Privacy Policy

We intend to keep our privacy policy current, making this policy subject to change. We may modify this policy at any time, in our sole discretion and all modifications will be effective immediately upon our posting of the modifications on this website. Please return periodically to review our privacy policy.

If you have any questions or concerns at any time about our privacy policy or the use of your personal information, please get in touch with us and we will respond as soon as possible.

We're COVIDSafe

Hutchies is a COVIDSafe business. In some places, at the direction of the government, it may be a mandatory requirement for businesses to collect and store information for contact tracing purposes. 

To make the collection process as easy as possible, Hutchies uses various QR code sign in systems (including HammerTech) across our offices, yards and construction sites. 

Hutchies' tools

Our technology may store a cookie file locally in your web browser to remember the details you provided on your first visit, so when you return, you can simply re-submit the same information, if it hasn't changed. This cookie is stored on your device, it is not shared with Hutchies.

All Personal Data is stored securely and is in full compliance with the Australian Government's special privacy expectations to keep businesses COVIDSafe. Hutchies will only store this Personal Data for the required period of time as directed by each state / territory health authority. 

If it is a requirement to supply confidential information, this data will be stored only for the purposes of compliance under relevant health orders.

Contact information collected as part of Hutchies' COVID-19 contact tracing requirements will not be used for any other purpose other than for a contact tracing event or as directed by regulator / authority. 

State / territory government tools

You may also find check in tools for Service NSW, Check In Qld, Service Victoria, Check in TAS, The Territory Check In, COVID SAfe Check-In and others when entering a Hutchies workplace. 

These tools are independent of Hutchies and we do not have access to this data. Where you see a poster in one of our offices or on one of our sites with a state / territory government QR code, you must use this to check in daily to assist with contact tracing requirements. This may be in addition to Hutchies' own sign in processes / systems.
