Hudson Global Resources (Aust) Pty Limited and its related Australian
companies ('Hudson') are committed to ensuring that your personal information is
handled responsibly, in accordance with the Privacy laws, including the National
Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
The
Hudson Privacy Policy ('the Policy') outlines how Hudson collects, discloses,
uses, stores or otherwise handles your personal information.
Collecting Your Personal Information
The Policy
relates to personal information collected by any means. It is Hudson's usual
practice to collect this personal information directly from you. However, often
your personal information is collected through the use of Hudson's website or in
response to Hudson's printed and online
advertisements.
Furthermore, there may be occasions when Hudson
will source personal information from an external third party, or a publicly
available source. If Hudson does not have your prior consent, Hudson will take
reasonable steps to inform you that it has collected personal information from
the third party.
Use of Personal
Information
To assist Hudson in the provision of its
services, it collects your personal information. Hudson may collect personal
information from you so that Hudson can:
- Assist you in finding or retaining work;
- Assist in your career performance or management;
- Analyse human resource and labour markets;
- Develop tests and assessments in order to place you in appropriate roles; or
- Help in work rehabilitation.
Generally, the personal information Hudson collects about you may include the
information that you place in your job application or resume, for example, your
name, mailing address, telephone number, e-mail address, career history, details
of any competency tests or other information relating to your
career.
As a general rule, Hudson does not collect sensitive
information about you. However, in circumstances where Hudson requires sensitive
information from you for the purpose of providing our services to you, or if the
law requires Hudson to provide such information, Hudson will first seek your
consent to collect it.
Use by Third
Parties
Hudson may use and disclose your personal
information to third parties for the purposes it was collected, or for a related
or ancillary purpose such as providing you with one of our services.
Accordingly, Hudson may disclose your personal information to a number of third
parties, including but not limited to:
- Hudson's related entities;
- prospective employers;
- clients who may wish to engage your services as a contractor or temporary employee;
- Hudson suppliers or service providers, including organisations that conduct competency or psychometric tests on behalf of Hudson;
- your nominated referees;
- any government authority, or workers compensation body;
- any law enforcement body, including the Australian Federal Police; or
- any educational or vocational organisations to the extent necessary to verify your qualifications.
If Hudson discloses personal information to any third party, Hudson will
generally request these parties to protect such personal information in the same
way that Hudson does.
Data Quality
Hudson takes reasonable steps to
ensure that the personal information it collects is accurate, up to date and
complete.
In circumstances where your personal information has
changed please contact the Privacy Officer, they will endeavour to update and
correct the information. Hudson may also contact you from time to time to check
the information is still correct.
Data
Security
Hudson takes reasonable steps to protect the personal information we hold
from loss, unauthorised access, and misuse. The use of locks and security
systems assist Hudson in protecting your personal information.
Your
personal information may be stored in hard copy documents, or electronically on
Hudson's software or systems.
When no longer required, personal
information is destroyed in a secure manner or
deleted.
