PRIVACY POLICY | cause-and-effective

Effective as of 1 October 2018

Brackenlea Holdings Pty Ltd, trading as Cause & Effective (C&E), is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy informs you how C&E collects, uses, secures and shares your information. This Policy covers our privacy practices related to the provision of our service to you through www.causeandeffective.info, applications on any computer device, through APIs, and through third parties (together, the “Service”).

2. Changes to our Privacy Policy

2.1 This Privacy Policy may change from time to time. If we make a change to this Privacy Policy that we believe materially affects how we process your information or reduces your rights, we will provide you with notice (for example, by email). We may provide notice of changes in other circumstances as well. By continuing to use the Service after those changes become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Privacy Policy.

2.2 We may provide you with “just-in-time” disclosures or additional information about the data collection, use and sharing practices of specific parts of our Service. These notices may provide more information about our privacy practices or provide you with additional choices about how we process your personal information.

3. The information we collect and store

3.1 Personal information is any information that identifies you or makes you identifiable. Any information that is anonymised or aggregated is no longer personal information.

3.2 We manage personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 and Australian Privacy Principles.

3.4 We may decline to store unsolicited personal information from or about you and take steps to purge it from our systems.

3.5 The purpose of the Service is to help you explore new career opportunities. We collect any information that you provide to us when you apply for an advertised position or you provide us with information for future consideration should suitable opportunities arise. If you add data to your C&E file that you previously uploaded, we may associate all or a portion of the previous file with your account rather than storing a duplicate.

3.6 Some devices allow applications to access real-time location-based information (for example, GPS). Some photos and videos you upload may contain recorded location information. If you do not wish to share files embedded with your geo-location information with us, please do not upload them. If you do not want to store location data in your photos or videos, please consult the documentation for your camera to turn off that feature. Also, some of the information we collect from a device, for example IP address, can sometimes be used to approximate a device’s location.

3.7 We manage your personal information as an APP Entity under the Australian Privacy Principles. To the extent that we may hold personal information relating to individuals located in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom, we are bound by and act in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).

7. Where we store your information

7.1 All the information we collect is stored on secure servers, which are hosted by a third party (Ventra) in Australia.

7.2 To the extent that we may process personal data of individuals located in the EEA or the UK by agreeing to this privacy policy you explicitly consent to us storing, and (if applicable) transferring, your personal data in and to Australia, such transfer being necessary in order that we can contact you and process your personal data as set out at in this privacy policy. Without limitation of the foregoing, you expressly grant consent to us to (i) process and disclose your personal data (including any sensitive personal data) in accordance with this privacy policy; (ii) store and, if applicable, transfer your personal data (including any sensitive personal data) throughout the world including Australia or other countries that may not ensure adequate protection for personal data (as determined by the European Commission); and (iii) disclose your personal information (including sensitive personal data) to comply with lawful requests by public authorities, including to meet national security or law enforcement requirements.

8. Retention of your information

8.1 We will only keep your personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purposes for which we collected it.

8.2 We will usually collect your personal data in relation to one executive search undertaken at any given time but may use it in relation to other executive searches if we consider that you may be an appropriate candidate for these other searches. You agree to us retaining your personal data in our database following the conclusion of any executive search, so that we may be able to contact you again if we are instructed in relation to another role or opportunity which we think may be of interest to you. We believe this benefits you and enables us to contact you in the event of another relevant role or career opportunity becoming available.
