We are committed to ensuring that we demonstrate our commitment to protecting and respecting privacy in our dealings with personal information regarding job-seekers, referees, clients, users of our website and others with whom we deal (“you,” your”). This statement sets out our policy on how we process your personal data.

It is our intention to concurrently comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) and European General Data Protection Regulation 2016/679 (“GDPR”), to the extent possible. Where dual compliance is not possible, the GDPR will apply to your personal data if you reside in the EU while the APPs will apply if you reside in Australia or any other country, which will be reflected in this policy.

In this policy, “personal data” is the collective term used to refer to both ‘personal information’ as it is defined under Australian privacy law and ‘personal data’ as it is defined under the GDPR.

We decide the purpose and means by which personal data collected about you is processed. For GDPR purposes, we are known as the ‘controller’ of your personal data. For information on how to contact us, refer to the Privacy Officer section of this policy.

TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA WE COLLECT

Usually, the type of personal data that we collect includes, but is not limited to:

  • Contact details;
  • Job-seeker or consultant information submitted by resume, CV or application;
  • Financial information;
  • Educational information;
  • Work performance information; and
  • Information obtained from reference checks.

We may also collect personal data of a more detailed and sensitive nature (“special category data”) about you if you provide your explicit consent. This includes:

  • Health or medical information, such as if you require any special assistance or arranging medicals as part of the screening process;
  • Nationality, which may incidentally include racial or ethnic origin, as a result of conducting right to work checks; and
  • Details of any prior criminal convictions if you reside in Australia, or another country in which the laws authorise such processing.

HOW WE COLLECT YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We endeavour to only collect personal data which you knowingly provide us, for example, when you complete an online form or information you provide to us when you send us an email or call us. In general, we will record your email address if you send us an email.

Methods by which we may request or obtain your personal data include when you:

  • contact us for further information;
  • participate in surveys and other types of research;
  • subscribe to a mailing list that we operate; and
  • express interest in a particular service offered by us or submit a job application or resume.

There may be occasions when we obtain personal information about you from third parties, where it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect the personal information from you. If we are unable to notify you prior to the collection of your personal data from a third party, we will always take reasonable steps to inform you as soon as practicable after the collection. No sensitive information will be collected, either from you or a third party, without your prior consent.

We may also collect personal data from you when you use our website WWW.REDPATHPARTNERS.COM.

BASIS FOR OUR COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE AND OTHERWISE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We only collect personal data that is necessary for us to conduct our business as a provider of recruitment services. We collect personal data primarily to enable the placement of job seekers and assisting job seekers in finding or obtaining work (“primary purpose”). In some cases, provision of personal data is necessary to enter into a contract with us. If you do not give us the information we request from you, we may be limited in our ability locate and place you in suitable work.

The processing (including collection) of your personal data is therefore necessary for the pursuit of our legitimate interests, which involves the provision of recruitment services to you. We carry out a balancing test to ensure our legitimate interests will not outweigh your rights and freedoms.

Special category data will be only be processed on the basis of your explicit consent. If the GDPR is applicable to you, we will not process your personal data as it pertains to any criminal convictions or offences unless such processing is authorised under the laws of the Member State in which you reside.

Some processing may also be necessary to fulfil our obligations under applicable laws.

HOW WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA

We may process (which includes use and disclosure) your personal data for the primary purposes it was collected or for a related or ancillary purpose such as the provision of any one or more other services normally provided by us to clients or customers. In certain situations we must obtain your consent to use or disclose your personal information for a purpose other than the primary purpose.

We may disclose your personal data to:

  • Potential and actual employers or employees;
  • Nominated referees;
  • Any person or body to which we are required by law to disclose information;
  • Our insurers;
  • Third party service providers or contractors who assist with the provision of our services
  • In some circumstances to any competent organisation that conducts background and criminal record checks, if applicable to you, (provided that the organisation undertakes to comply with privacy laws and keep all information supplied to the organisation confidential); and
  • To educational or vocational organisations to the extent necessary to verify qualifications.

Purposes for which we disclose your personal information include:

  • Your actual or possible work placement;
  • Career guidance or management;
  • To comply with our legal obligations and rights, under contracts and at law, and to cooperate with authorities and investigations;
  • Undertaking background checks; and
  • If Australian privacy law is applicable to you, undertaking criminal record checks

OVERSEAS TRANSFERS

We have offices in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Hong Kong, New York, Boston and Dubai and all of our staff use a single cloud based recruitment management platform. This means that your personal data may be accessed from or processed at a destination outside of Australia or the European Economic Area (“EEA”). Some of these countries may not have a similar standard of data protection laws to Australia or the EU (as applicable). We always require your personal data to be handled in accordance with at least EU data protection law standards (for EU residents) or Australian standards (for all other residents).

AUTOMATED DECISION MAKING

Automated decision-making or profiling is not carried out on your personal data. All of our processing involves an element of human intervention

DATA SECURITY AND STORAGE

We will take reasonable steps to protect the personal data that we hold from misuse, loss or unauthorised access, misuse, alteration or disclosure. This includes appropriate technical and organisational security measures. Where a third party has access to or processes your data, they will be contractually obliged to protect and process it in a way that complies with this policy.

We remind you that the internet is an unsecured means of transfer and any personal data you transmit to you us by this method is at your own risk. Despite this, we will do our best to protect your personal data, including following our robust internal policies and procedures once we receive it.

Subject to the remainder of this policy, we will destroy any personal information that we hold that we no longer have any use for, other than information that we are required by law to preserve.
