EnterpriseWorks Privacy Policy

EnterpriseWorks Pty Ltd, ABN 55 691 452 927, respects your privacy and is committed to handling personal information in an open, transparent and responsible way.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, disclose and protect personal information when you interact with EnterpriseWorks.

1. Who we are and what this policy covers

EnterpriseWorks is an independent research and advisory firm based in Australia. We provide research and advisory services focused on enterprise productivity, workforce capability, technology adoption, responsible AI and better ways of working.

This policy applies when you:

  • visit our website
  • contact us by website form, email, phone, message or meeting
  • subscribe to our research, insights, updates or event invitations
  • participate in our research, surveys, interviews, workshops or events
  • engage with our advisory, research, speaking, partnership or related services
  • interact with our digital content, communications or business systems.
For privacy enquiries, contact us at: contact@enterpriseworks.com.au

2. Privacy Act opt-in and our commitment

EnterpriseWorks is a small business with annual turnover under $3 million. EnterpriseWorks has chosen to opt in to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), so that it is treated as an organisation under the Privacy Act once the opt-in is registered by the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.

From the date EnterpriseWorks is entered on the public opt-in register, we will comply with the Australian Privacy Principles in relation to personal information we hold, unless an exemption or exception applies.

We also comply with the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) in relation to commercial electronic messages.

EnterpriseWorks will comply with any stricter privacy, confidentiality or data security obligations set out in our client contracts.

3. What personal information we collect

The personal information we collect depends on how you interact with us. Some information, including technical identifiers or research responses, may be personal information under Australian privacy law depending on how it is used or combined with other information.

We may collect:

  • name
  • organisation
  • job title or role
  • email address
  • phone number
  • enquiry details
  • subscription preferences
  • meeting, workshop, interview or event information
  • survey, research or diagnostic responses
  • information relevant to providing advisory, research, speaking, partnership or related services
  • limited technical information, such as browser type, device information, pages visited, referral source, general analytics information, email opens or link clicks.

We do not generally seek to collect sensitive information, such as health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, criminal record information or financial information.

Because our work may involve productivity, workforce wellbeing, burnout, psychological safety or employee experience, some advisory, research, survey, interview or workshop activities may involve sensitive or personal workplace information. Where this occurs, we will handle the information carefully and only where there is an appropriate basis to do so, such as consent, clear notice, de-identification, aggregation or another basis permitted by law.

Our website and services are not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information about children.

4. Research, surveys and interviews

Unless otherwise stated, our surveys are designed to be anonymous. We do not intentionally collect your name, organisation, job title or other information that identifies you as an individual respondent in anonymous surveys.

However, some responses may include information that could identify an individual or organisation, especially where free-text responses, small cohorts, role details, organisation details or specific examples are provided.

Where a survey, interview or research activity is not anonymous, we will make this clear and explain how the information will be used.

Participation in research, surveys and interviews is voluntary where we deal with individuals directly. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw your consent by contacting us, although there may be limits where information has already been de-identified, aggregated, analysed, published or incorporated into research outputs.

5. How we collect and use personal information

We usually collect personal information directly from you when you submit a form, complete a survey, subscribe to updates, contact us, book or attend a meeting, participate in research or events, or engage us to provide services.

We may also collect personal information from your organisation, a client, a partner, a referral source, publicly available sources or service providers that support our business operations.

We use personal information to:

  • respond to enquiries
  • send research, insights, event invitations or updates you have requested or consented to receive
  • manage client, partner and stakeholder relationships
  • provide advisory, research, speaking, workshop, event and related services
  • conduct research and prepare insights, reports and thought leadership
  • manage meetings, proposals, projects, events and communications
  • improve our website, content, services and operations
  • manage administration, billing, record keeping and business operations
  • comply with legal, regulatory and professional obligations.

We do not use personal information for unrelated purposes without consent, unless permitted or required by law.

6. Research and publication

EnterpriseWorks may publish or share research findings, insights or reports.

Where research findings are published or shared externally, we take reasonable steps to de-identify or aggregate information unless we have permission to identify an individual or organisation.

Our research may be co-published or distributed with partners. Where this occurs, we may share aggregate or de-identified findings with those partners.

We do not share personal information, including email addresses, with research or publication partners without consent.

7. Marketing, cookies and analytics

We may send you research reports, insights, invitations, updates or information about EnterpriseWorks services where you have requested them, consented to them, or where otherwise permitted by law.

Commercial electronic messages will identify EnterpriseWorks as the sender and include a functional unsubscribe option where required. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe option in the message or contacting us directly.

We do not sell, rent or share your email address with third parties for marketing purposes.

Our website and digital communications may use cookies, analytics tools and similar technologies to understand website usage, improve user experience, manage website performance and measure the effectiveness of our content.

We use standard analytics tools to understand aggregate website usage and engagement with our content. We do not use this information to profile individuals for targeted advertising.

You can adjust your browser settings to block or delete cookies, although some website features may not function as intended.

If we introduce marketing, remarketing, advertising, cross-site tracking, profiling or more detailed tracking tools in the future, we will review and update this policy as needed and, where required, provide additional notice or consent mechanisms.

8. AI and automated tools

EnterpriseWorks may use technology and AI-enabled tools to support research analysis, drafting, administration, productivity, quality assurance, workflow management or service delivery.

Where practical, we de-identify or aggregate information before using technology or AI-enabled tools for research or analysis.

We do not intentionally enter personal information into public AI tools unless it is necessary, appropriate, authorised and subject to suitable confidentiality, privacy and security controls.

EnterpriseWorks does not use automated decision-making to make decisions about individuals that would significantly affect their rights, interests, employment, access to services or legal position.

9. Disclosure and overseas processing

We do not sell or trade personal information.

We may disclose personal information to:

  • trusted service providers who help us operate our website, communications, CRM, research, events, administration, document storage, automation or business systems
  • professional advisers, such as legal, accounting, technology or insurance advisers
  • trusted research, technology or specialist partners where relevant to an engagement, event, research project or enquiry
  • regulators, authorities or other parties where required or permitted by law.

We only disclose personal information where it is reasonably necessary for our business, services, research, communications, legal obligations or operations.

Some service providers used by EnterpriseWorks may store or process information outside Australia.

Where this occurs, we take reasonable steps to use reputable providers and to understand relevant privacy, security and data processing arrangements.

EnterpriseWorks will take reasonable steps to comply with applicable cross-border disclosure obligations under the Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles.

We will update this policy to identify any countries in which our key service providers store or process personal information, where it is practicable to do so.

If we collect personal information from individuals located outside Australia, additional privacy laws may apply depending on the nature of the interaction, the services provided and the location of the individuals involved. Where required, EnterpriseWorks will take reasonable steps to comply with applicable local privacy requirements.

10. Security, data breaches and retention

We take reasonable steps to protect personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

These steps may include using reputable service providers, limiting access to authorised people who need the information for legitimate business purposes, using access controls and secure systems, applying appropriate data handling practices, limiting local storage of personal information where practical, and de-identifying or aggregating research data where appropriate.

No method of transmission or electronic storage is completely secure. If you believe information you have provided to EnterpriseWorks has been compromised, please contact us promptly.

If we become aware of a data breach involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to contain the breach, assess the risk of harm and take appropriate remedial action.

If EnterpriseWorks is legally required to notify affected individuals, regulators or the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, we will do so in accordance with applicable law. Even where formal notification is not legally required, we may notify affected individuals where we consider it appropriate and helpful to reduce potential harm.

We retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, to manage our relationship with you, to provide services, to maintain business records, or to meet legal, tax, accounting, regulatory or professional obligations.

Anonymous or de-identified research data may be retained indefinitely for research, benchmarking, insight development or publication purposes.

When personal information is no longer required, we will take reasonable steps to destroy or de-identify it.

11. Access, correction and complaints

You may ask us to:

  • provide access to personal information we hold about you
  • correct personal information that is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date
  • delete your personal information, where we are not required to retain it
  • unsubscribe you from direct marketing communications
  • allow you to interact with us anonymously or using a pseudonym, where practical.

You can make a request or complaint by contacting us at contact@enterpriseworks.com.au.

We will respond within a reasonable timeframe. In some cases, we may need to verify your identity or may not be able to provide access, correction or deletion where legal restrictions, confidentiality obligations, de-identification limits, research integrity, contractual obligations or record keeping requirements apply.

If we are unable to provide access or make a correction, we will tell you why and let you know how you can complain if you are not satisfied with our response.

If you believe we have handled your personal information in a way that breaches applicable privacy law and you are not satisfied with our response, you may be able to lodge a complaint with the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner:

  • Website: oaic.gov.au
  • Phone: 1300 363 992
  • Post: GPO Box 5218, Sydney NSW 2001

The Privacy and Other Legislation Amendment Act 2024 introduced a statutory tort for serious invasions of privacy, effective from June 2025, which may allow individuals to seek remedies directly through the courts in appropriate circumstances.

12. Effective date and changes to this policy

This policy is effective from 1 May 2026.

We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, services or legal obligations.
