legislation known as the Privacy Act 1998 (The Privacy Act) and its provisions
address a number of aspects of how information provided by them can be used and
how electronic communications with them can be made.
HELP
Recruitment complies with all aspects of the Privacy Act regarding
confidentiality in the use of personal information gathered in the process of
assisting applicants to gain employment.
As
part of the registration process, participants will be required provide an
active e-mail address to which communications acknowledging their registration
or the progress of applications made by them for specific positions will be
sent. If participants do not want electronic communications to be sent to the
address provided they should contact the HELP Recruitment office concerned and
request that the e-mail address be removed or substituted with an alternative.
Electronic
communications may be sent to participants advising them of alternative
prospects of employment unless requested not to do so. All electronic
communications sent to e-mail addresses provided by participants will contain an
unsubscribe facility should they no longer be required. Alternatively if a
participant elects to have job alerts sent via the HELP Job Agent, this can
disabled at any time by the participant if they no longer wish to receive them.
