1. Introduction

Wavelength International takes seriously its commitment to preserve the privacy of the personal information that we collect. We will only collect information that is reasonably necessary for the proper performance of our activities or functions as a recruitment agency. We do not collect personal information just because we think it could be useful at some future stage if we have no present need for it.

We do not collect, use or disclose personal information for unlawful purposes including discrimination. During the course of your interaction with Wavelength, you may provide us with unsolicited information and we will take reasonable steps to ensure that this information is purged from our systems providing it is not required for the proper performance of our functions and activities as a recruitment agency.

Wavelength acknowledges that an individual has the right to not identify themselves or to use a pseudonym when dealing with us. However, this only applies if it is practicable for Wavelength to do so and it doesn’t impact our service delivery to our clients. Wavelength will not use government-related identifiers for the purpose of identifying you unless required by law.

If you have any questions please contact us at +612 8353 9000 or info@wave.com.au.

 

2. Information Collection

It is necessary for our functions or activities as a recruitment agency to collect personal information about you. Information collection will commence at the point at which you either register your details on our website or contact us via email or phone. When we collect personal information we will:

• Check that it is current, complete and accurate. This will sometimes mean that we have to cross-check the information that we collect from you with third parties;
• Record and hold your information in our information record system [see pt. 9 for further information on the information record system]. Some information may be disclosed to overseas recipients only as is reasonably necessary for our functions or activities as a recruitment agency;
• Retrieve your information when we need to use or disclose it for our functions and activities as a recruitment agency. At that time, we check that it is current, complete, accurate and relevant. This will sometimes mean that we have to cross-check the information that we collect from you with third parties once again - especially if some time has passed since we last checked;
• Subject to some exceptions, we permit you to access personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Policy. Please see point 11.1 for more information on accessing your personal information;
• Correct or attach associated statements to your personal information in accordance with the Australian Privacy Policy. Please see point 11.2 for more information on correction of your personal information;
• Destroy or de-identify any financial information we hold after a period of seven (7) years provided that it is lawful for us to do so. We do not destroy or de-identify information that is contained in a Commonwealth Record;
• Keep your personal information for a minimum of three (3) months, after which we may destroy or de-identify it if it no longer serves our functions or activities as a recruitment agency.

3. Kinds of information that we collect and hold

This section sets out our policy dealing with:

10.1 Access

Subject to some exceptions that are set out in privacy law, you can gain access to the personal information that we hold about you.

Important exceptions include:

• Evaluative opinion material obtained confidentially in the course of performing reference checks and access that would impact the privacy rights of other people. We may refuse access if it would breach any confidentiality that attaches to that information or if it would interfere with the privacy rights of other people. In many cases evaluative material contained in references that we obtain will be collected under obligations of confidentiality that we make and which the communicator of that information is entitled to expect will be observed.

If you wish to obtain access to your personal information you should contact our Privacy Officer at +612 8353 9000 or info@wave.com.au. You will need to be in a position to verify your identity.

We might impose a moderate, but non-excessive charge, in providing access. Our Privacy Officer will discuss these with you.

We will generally respond to your request for access within five (5) working days.

If we refuse to give access to the personal information or to give access in the manner requested by you, we will give you a written notice that sets out:

• The reasons for the refusal except to the extent that, having regard to the grounds for the refusal, it would be unreasonable to do so; and

If we have disclosed personal information about you that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading, you can ask us to notify the third parties to whom we made the disclosure and we will take such steps (if any) as are reasonable in the circumstances to give that notification unless it is impracticable or unlawful to do so.

You should also anticipate that it may take a little time to respond and process your application for correction as there may be a need to retrieve information from storage and review information in order to determine what information may be corrected. We will generally respond to your request for access within five (5) working days.

There is no charge to correct information. In some cases, we may not agree that the information should be changed. If we refuse to correct your personal information as requested by you, we will give you a written notice that sets out:
