GBS Recruitment Pty Ltd manages personal information as an APP Entity in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles.
This condensed policy applies to information collected by GBS Recruitment. We only collect information that is reasonably necessary for the proper performance of our activities or functions as a recruitment or labour hire company. We do not collect personal information just because we think it could be useful at some future stage if we have no present need for it.
We may decline to collect unsolicited personal information from or about you and take steps to purge it from our systems. If you have any questions please contact us.
We sometimes collect information from third parties and publicly available sources when it is necessary for a specific purpose such as checking information that you have given us or where you have consented or would reasonably expect us to collect your personal information in this way.
Sometimes the technology that is used to support communications between us will provide personal information to us, see the section in this policy on Electronic Transactions.
We are unlikely to disclose your information to overseas recipients. In the event that it is necessary to disclose your information to overseas recipients, we cannot guarantee that any recipient of your personal information will protect it to the standard to which it ought to be protected. The costs and difficulties of enforcement of privacy rights in foreign jurisdictions and the impracticability of attempting to enforce such rights in some jurisdictions will mean that in some instances, we will need to seek your consent to disclosure.
Important exceptions include:
Evaluative opinion or material obtained confidentially in the course of our performing reference checks; and access that would impact on the privacy rights of other people. In many cases evaluative material contained in references that we obtain will be collected under obligation of confidentiality that the person who gave us that information is entitled to expect will be observed. We do refuse access if it would breach confidentiality.
If you find that personal information that we hold about you is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you can ask us to correct it by contacting us in writing.
We will take such steps as are reasonable in the circumstances to correct that information to ensure that, having a regard to purpose for which it is held, the information is accurate, up to date, complete, relevant and not misleading.
Emails and attachments sent by GBS are confidential and are for the intended addressee[s] only. Unauthorised use of this communication is prohibited. If you have received this communication in error, please notify the sender and remove them from your system. Confidentiality is not waived or lost by reason of the mistaken delivery to you. Before opening or using any attachments, it is your responsibility to check them for viruses and defects.
You have a right to complain about our handling of your personal information if you believe that we have interfered with your privacy.
If you have any questions please contact us or refer to the APP Organisation Privacy Policy.
GBS Recruitment may amend and vary this policy from time to time.
