Our Information Collection & Privacy Policy

Our Privacy Policy sets out how personal information provided to us is handled.

To help find a career opportunity that suits both your skills and you personally, we need to know as much about you as possible. Of course, any information you provide will be held in the strictest confidence, in accordance with the US Privacy Principles (USPP).

It is important that you read, fully understand and accept the Policy, because in all your dealings with CorpoRational Inc., we will assume that you have done so. A hard copy of the Policy can be made available to you upon request, free of charge.

It’s all about listening to you

You’ll find that we ask a lot of questions. Just as importantly, you’ll also find we listen closely to your answers. That’s how we learn about the kind of person you are and the kind of position that will suit you best.

And remember, at CorpoRational Inc., communication is a two way street. You should always feel free to ask as many questions as you like. We are also open to any comments or feedback you have to offer in relation to any aspects of our recruitment process. Just talk to either your Consultant, our Privacy Officer, or a CorpoRational Director.

Because listening to you isn’t just how we help you and your career, it’s also how we improve our service to you.

What is personal information?

It would include the opinions of others about your work performance (whether true or not), your work experience and qualifications, aptitude test results, photos, video (VCV) and other information obtained by us in connection with your possible work placements. Personal information includes sensitive information. Once the information is no longer required for the purpose for which the information was disclosed, we will take reasonable steps to destroy the information or ensure that the information is de-identified.

The personal and sensitive information will either be stored electronically on our computer database or hard copies will be printed and filed in our filing cabinet in our office.

How will this information be collected?

If you do not give us the information we seek?

We may be limited in our ability to locate suitable work for you and we may be limited in our ability to place you in work.

Can you gain access to your information to correct it if it is wrong?

Subject to some exceptions which are set out in the APP (Principles 12 and 13 – Access and Correction), you have a right to see and have a copy of personal and sensitive information about you that we hold. If you are able to establish that personal or sensitive information that we hold about you is not accurate, complete and up-to-date, we will take reasonable steps to correct it so that it is accurate, complete and up-to-date. If we are unable to agree that personal or sensitive information that we hold about you is accurate, complete and up-to-date, you may ask us to place with the information a statement by you that claims that particular information is not accurate, complete and up-to-date. If you wish to exercise your rights of access and correction you should put a written request to our Privacy officer (details below). In some cases we may impose a moderate charge for providing access to personal or sensitive information. We will not charge you simply because you lodge a request for access.
