WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy applies to all personal information collected by Employmate Proprietary Limited
(we, us or our) via the website located at www.employmate.com.au (Website).
What information do we collect?
The kind of Personal Information that we collect from you will depend on how you use the
website. The Personal Information which we collect and hold about you may include:
name, phone number, email address, company name, login credentials
Types of information
The Privacy Act 1998 (Cth) (Privacy Act) defines types of information, including Personal
Information and Sensitive Information.
Personal Information means information or an opinion about an identified individual or an
individual who is reasonably identifiable:
whether the information or opinion is true or not; and
(ii) whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not.
If the information does not disclose your identity or enable your identity to be ascertained, it will in
most cases not be classified as “Personal Information” and will not be subject to this privacy
policy.
Sensitive Information is defined in the Privacy Act as including information or opinion about
such things as an individual's racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political
association, religious or philosophical beliefs, membership of a trade union or other professional
body, criminal record or health information.
Sensitive Information will be used by us only:
for the primary purpose for which it was obtained;
for a secondary purpose that is directly related to the primary purpose; and
with your consent or where required or authorised by law.
How we collect your Personal Information
We may collect Personal Information from you whenever you input such information into
the Website, related app or provide it to Us in any other way.
We may also collect cookies from your computer which enable us to tell when you use the
Website and also to help customise your Website experience. As a general rule, however,
it is not possible to identify you personally from our use of cookies.
We generally don’t collect Sensitive Information, but when we do, we will comply with the
preceding paragraph.
Where reasonable and practicable we collect your Personal Information from you only.
However, sometimes we may be given information from a third party, in cases like this we
will take steps to make you aware of the information that was provided by a third party.
Purpose of collection
We collect Personal Information to provide you with the best service experience possible
on the Website and keep in touch with you about developments in our business.
We customarily only disclose Personal Information to our service providers who assist us in
operating the Website. Your Personal Information may also be exposed from time to time to
maintenance and support personnel acting in the normal course of their duties.
By using our Website, you consent to the receipt of direct marketing material. We will only
use your Personal Information for this purpose if we have collected such information direct
from you, and if it is material of a type which you would reasonably expect to receive from
use. We do not use sensitive Personal Information in direct marketing activity. Our direct
marketing material will include a simple means by which you can request not to receive
further communications of this nature, such as an unsubscribe button link.
Security, Access and correction
We store your Personal Information in a way that reasonably protects it from unauthorised
access, misuse, modification or disclosure. When we no longer require your Personal
Information for the purpose for which we obtained in, we will take reasonable steps to
destroy and anonymise or de-identify it. Most of the Personal Information that is stored in
our client files and records will be kept for a maximum of 7 years to fulfill our record
keeping obligations.
The Australian Privacy Principles:
permit you to obtain access to the Personal Information we hold about you in
certain circumstances (Australian Privacy Principle 12); and
allow you to correct inaccurate Personal Information subject to certain exceptions
(Australian Privacy Principle 13).
Where you would like to obtain such access, please contact us in writing on the contact
details set out at the bottom of this privacy policy.
Complaint procedure
If you have a complaint concerning the manner in which we maintain the privacy of your Personal
Information, please contact us as on the contact details set out at the bottom of this policy. All
complaints will be considered by Kelly Shovlin and we may seek further information from you to
clarify your concerns. If we agree that your complaint is well founded, we will, in consultation with
you, take appropriate steps to rectify the problem. If you remain dissatisfied with the outcome,
you may refer the matter to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner.
Overseas transfer
Your Personal Information may be transferred to recipients located in South Africa. South Africa
has data protection laws which protect Personal Information in a way which is at least
substantially similar to the Australian Privacy Principles, and there will be mechanisms available
to you to enforce protection of your Personal Information under that overseas law. In the
circumstances, we do not require the overseas recipients to comply with the Australian Privacy
Principles and we will not be liable for a breach of the Australian Privacy Principles if your
Personal Information is mishandled.
GDPR
In some circumstances, the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)
provides additional protection to individuals located in Europe. The fact that you may be located
in Europe does not, however, on its own entitle you to protection under the GDPR. Our website
does not specifically target customers located in the European Union and we do not monitor the
behaviour of individuals in the European Union, and accordingly the GDPR does not apply.
How to contact us about privacy
If you have any queries, or if you seek access to your Personal Information, or if you have a
complaint about our privacy practices, you can contact us through:
