Your privacy and security are very important to us. Task IT Recruitment is an Australian recruitment consulting service. We are committed to ensuring that when we collect and use information about visitors to our websites, we do so in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

​

Collection of Personal Data. Task IT Recruitment may collect information about you such as your name, contact details, skills, qualifications, accreditations, and your employment history. We may also collect other types of your personal information such as references and employment objectives during the course of dealing with you, for example if you are considered for a particular employment position. Where practical, the purpose for which we collect personal information and the consequences of not providing it will be made clear at the time of collection.

​

When you visit our website, we may collect information you gave us when:

(a) registering or subscribing to our services or requesting further services on our website; 
(b) contact us to report a problem with our website or make any enquiry or query or comment; and 
(c) you apply online for a job or work with Task IT Recruitment, you may need to provide (without limitation) information about your education, employment history and accreditations. Your application will constitute your express consent to our use of this information to access your application and to allow us to carry out any reference checking and other related activities as may be required of us under applicable law as an employer. Task IT Recruitment may also collect information from public record and third parties.

​

Use and Disclosure of Personal Data. Task IT Recruitment holds, uses and discloses your personal information for the purpose disclosed at the time of collection, or otherwise as set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not use or disclose your personal information for any other purpose without first seeking your consent, unless authorised or required by law. Generally, we will only use and disclose your personal information for the following purposes:

​

• to provide our services to you; 

• to maintain our business relationship, where you are a user of our  website, a client or candidate; 

• to enable you to submit your CV generally, to apply for specific jobs or to subscribe to our services; 

• to match your coded details with job vacancies, to assist us in finding a position that is most suitable for you and, where you provide your prior consent as a candidate, to send your personal information to clients in order to apply for jobs; 

• to answer your inquiry; 

• to direct-market products and services, advise you of news and industry updates, events, promotions and competitions, reports and other information. Where we do so, you will be able to unsubscribe from such communications; 

• to trusted third parties where we have retained them to provide services that you have requested, such as psychometric evaluations or skills tests, and who also provide services to us, such as professional advisers, IT consultants, mailing houses and function co-ordinators.

 

These third parties must comply with similar undertakings of privacy and confidentiality as Task IT Recruitment; if Task IT Recruitment merges with or is acquired by another business, we may share personal information with the new owners of the business and their advisers and if this happens, you will be sent notice of such an event; we may also release personal information to regulatory or law enforcement authorities, if they require us to do so; and we may also seek your consent to collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for any other purpose not listed above.

Sensitive Information. Sensitive information is a special category of personal information under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). It is the information or an opinion about you, including racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, membership of a professional or trade association, membership of a trade union, sexual orientation or practices, criminal records and health information. Task IT Recruitment will provide the purpose for the collection and only be disclosed with your consent.

​

Privacy on Our Website. (a) Submitting Your Curriculum Vitae ("CV") and Applying for Jobs. You may submit your CV to Task Group via this website, either for general consideration by our recruitment consultants for positions as they arise or to apply for a specific advertised job. Once submitted, your CV will be sent directly to the relevant Task IT Recruitment consultant who will review your details and advise you whether you are to be accepted by us for registration on our central database. This database, including your personal information, can be accessed by any of our recruitment consultants. If you are accepted onto our database, our recruitment consultants should then contact you to set up an interview in person. You can update your CV at any time, simply by following the same procedure to submit a new CV via our websites. (b) Aggregate Information About Website Visitors. We gather information and statistics about all visitors to our website, including the most frequently accessed pages and most frequently used services. We only use such data in aggregate form (that is, the information does not identify any one individual). This information helps us determine the most beneficial parts of our website and ways in which we can continually improve our online services to create a better overall experience for our users.

​

Security. Task IT Recruitment takes reasonable steps to keep personal information secure, accurate and up to date. The Internet is not always a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, while we seek to protect your personal information by implementing digital security systems in various parts of our website, Task IT Recruitment cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorised access or use of that information. Where we have links to websites outside Task IT Recruitment, we cannot ensure that your privacy will be protected in accordance with this policy. You should consult these other websites' privacy policies as we have no control over them and are not responsible for any information that is submitted to or collected by these third parties.

​

Access to Personal Information. You may request access to or update or to delete your personal information held at Task IT Recruitment by contacting Task IT Recruitment as set out below. We may ask to verify your identity and for more information about your request. Where we are legally permitted to do so, we may refuse your request and give you reasons for doing so. Where you request your personal information to be updated and there is a dispute about the facts, we will make a note on your personal information of such dispute. You may also request that Task IT Recruitment stops using your information and contacting you and we will comply with your request (for example if at any time you would prefer to stop receiving newsletters and updates from us, please use the “unsubscribe” option included in the email or other material). However, if this involves a request for deletion of your file, please be aware that we may not be required or able to do so, particularly where your file also holds information about our clients. We reserve the right to charge an administrative fee for access and updating requests.

​

However, there may be instances where this is not possible due to the contents of the complaint. In such circumstances, we will respond to your complaint in a reasonable and practical time. You may wish to contact the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) if you are not satisfied with our response to your complaint.
