This Job Applicant Privacy Policy ("Policy") explains how we handle your personal information provided to us when applying for, in relation to or collected by us in respect of your application for a job vacancy or other employment position with or managed by us ("Personal Information").
By submitting an application for a position or otherwise providing us with Personal Information for us to consider with respect to a current job vacancy or potential employment position, you consent to the Personal Information being collected, held, used, and disclosed by us as set out in this Policy.
You understand and agree that this Policy does not apply to any of the Personal Information that becomes part of your employee records to the extent it is held by us as your employer in relation to your employment. We will deal with your employee records as permitted by law.
You do not have to provide us with Personal Information but, if you do not provide the information we request, we may not be able to consider you for the position for which you have applied.

How we collect Personal Information
We collect information directly from you, including from applications and documents you submit to us through the website and information you provide to interviewers during the recruitment process. We may also collect Personal Information from third-party recruitment agencies, service providers, any police or background checks, LinkedIn, third parties you have authorised to deal with us on your behalf and from the referees you have given us permission to contact.
Regardless of how it is collected, we handle all of the Personal Information in accordance with this Policy.
Use and disclosure of Personal Information
Your Personal Information will be used by us to consider your application for employment and manage the recruitment processes. This process may involve disclosing your personal information to our related entities in the United States of America. If you are not successful in obtaining the position applied for with us we may retain your application and Personal Information in order to contact you if a suitable position becomes available with us in the future.
We may disclose the Personal Information to your referees and/or third parties as may be necessary to progress your application for employment, manage the recruitment process, undertake police or background checks.
Access, update and correction of personal information
We take reasonable steps to ensure that the Personal Information we hold is accurate, complete and up-to-date. However, we also rely on you to advise us of any changes to the Personal Information.
On request we will provide you with access to the Personal Information we hold, including for the purpose of correcting or updating that information, unless otherwise required or permitted by law.
We may recover our reasonable costs of giving you access to the Personal Information but there is no charge for making the request.
If we refuse to provide you with access we will provide you with written notice that, at a minimum, outlines reasons for the refusal and the complaints mechanisms available to you.
If you wish to access the Personal Information we hold or to update or correct it, you can contact us using the contact details provided below. We will require you to verify your identity and specify what elements of the Personal Information you require.
Security of personal information
We take reasonable steps to protect the Personal Information that we hold from misuse, interference and loss and from unauthorised access, alteration and disclosure.
However, data protection measures are never completely secure and, despite the measures we have put in place, we cannot guarantee the security of the Personal Information. You must take care to protect the Personal Information (for example, by protecting any usernames and passwords). You should notify us as soon as possible if you become aware of any security breaches.
