MKR Recruitment is dedicated to delivering quality services, and this policy explains our ongoing responsibility in managing your personal information.
MKR Recruitment adheres to the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth). These principles regulate the collection, use, disclosure, storage, security, and disposal of personal information.
A copy of the Australian Privacy Principles may be obtained from the website of The Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at www.aoic.gov.au
What is Personal Information and why do we collect it?
Personal Information refers to any details or opinions that can identify an individual. The types of personal information we may collect include your name, address, email address, phone number, and resume.
We may gather this information in various ways, including through interviews, phone or video calls, email, our website (www.mkrrecruitment.com.au), your own website, publicly available sources, media and publications, or from third parties. Please note we cannot guarantee the privacy practices or policies of third-party websites we may link to.
We collect personal information primarily to deliver our recruitment services, share relevant information with our clients, and communicate with you about opportunities and updates. At times, we may also use your personal information for related purposes that you would reasonably expect, such as marketing or service improvements. You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting us in writing.
Whenever we collect personal information, we will aim to make clear—where appropriate and practical—why we are collecting it and how it will be used.
Sensitive Information
Under the Privacy Act, sensitive information includes details or opinions about an individual’s racial or ethnic background, political views, membership of political associations, religious or philosophical beliefs, trade union or professional body memberships, criminal history, or health information.
We will only use sensitive information in the following circumstances:
Third Parties
Where it is reasonable and practical, we will collect your personal information directly from you. In some cases, however, we may receive information about you from third parties. When this occurs, we will take reasonable steps to let you know that we have obtained this information and how it will be used.
Disclosure of Personal Information
Your personal information may be shared in certain circumstances, such as:
Security of Personal Information
We store your personal information securely and take reasonable steps to protect it from misuse, loss, unauthorised access, alteration, or disclosure.
When your personal information is no longer required for the purpose it was collected, we will either destroy it or permanently de-identify it. However, much of the information we hold is kept in client files, which we are required to retain for a minimum of seven (7) years.
Access to your Personal Information
You have the right to access the personal information we hold about you and to request updates or corrections, subject to certain legal exceptions. If you would like to access your information, please contact us in writing.
MKR Recruitment does not charge a fee to process access requests; however, an administrative fee may apply if you require a copy of your information.
To protect your privacy, we may ask you to provide proof of identity before releasing any personal information.
Maintaining the Quality of your Personal Information
Keeping your personal information accurate and up to date is important to us. We take reasonable steps to ensure the information we hold is correct, complete, and current. If you notice that any of your details are inaccurate or outdated, please let us know as soon as possible so we can update our records and continue providing you with quality services.
