Privacy Policy covering the website of Checkside Pty Ltd T/A The Checkside Group
Checkside Pty Ltd T/A The Checkside Group (“Checkside”) recognise that the confidentiality of personal information is vitally important to individuals and are committed to ensuring that information entrusted to us is protected against misuse.
The personal information that we collect and hold will usually be candidate information, submitted and obtained from candidates and other sources, including referees, in connection with applications or opportunities for work.
It would include the opinions of others about candidates’ work performance, work experience, qualifications, aptitude test results and other information obtained by us in connection with possible work placements.
In conducting our business operations, we will hold all personal information in secure databases and will endeavour to ensure that the information remains accurate and up to date. As a general rule, we will not disclose personal information on an individual to any third party without the individual’s permission. Disclosure of personal information will usually be to a client or employer who has a job opportunity to be filled.
Where it is necessary for contractors to be given access to an
individual’s personal information to provide services to us, we will
ensure that they treat the information in accordance with our legal
requirements. Typically our contractors would include I.T. contractors
and website designers, database designers and psychologists with
psychometric testing skills.
Subject to some exceptions that are set out in the National Privacy
Principles, individuals can gain access to the personal information that
we hold about them. In the first instance, contact should be by
telephone on (08) 9489 7040. We may impose a moderate charge in
providing access, as there may be a need to retrieve information from
storage and complete some administrative processes.
We will
refuse access if it interferes with the privacy rights of other persons,
or if it breaches any confidentiality that attaches to the information.
If
the actions outlined above relating to the collection, use and
disclosure of personal information are not acceptable to candidates, we
may be limited in our ability to locate suitable work for them, or to
place them in work.
