WELCOME TO THE AUSTRALIAN NANNY AGENCY
PC MURRAY Pty Ltd ACN 660 490 424 trading as ‘Australian Nanny Agency’ (we or us) is committed to protecting and respecting your privacy by handling all personal information securely and with care, in accordance with the Australian Privacy Principles (the APPs) as set out in the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (the Act). The APPs regulate the manner in which personal information is collected, used, disclosed, stored, accessed, corrected and disposed of.
We have adopted this Privacy Policy to ensure that we comply with the APPs. The Policy provides an overview of the types of information held by us, as well as our information handling practices, procedures, and systems.
Please read the Policy carefully to ensure that you understand our practices regarding the management of any information you disclose to us.
‘Personal Information ’is any information or an opinion about you that identifies you or that could reasonably identify you. This could include information such as your name, contact detail, date of birth or employment details.
‘Sensitive Information’ is any information or opinion about you which is health information or which relates to your racial or ethnic origin, political opinion, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or criminal record. The APPs place more stringent obligations on us when we handle your sensitive information.
The Personal Information and Sensitive Information that you disclose to us or which we obtain from third parties enables us to provide and facilitate recruitment services to you. We will only collect and retain information that is reasonably necessary for the performance of our activities and functions so that we are able to provide you with the services you require or which we recommend to you.
The kinds of Personal Information and Sensitive Information we collect and hold depends on the specific services provided to you, but will generally include basic personal contact information, as well as other information that is deemed relevant. This will usually include the following:
If you do not provide us with the required information, we may not be able to perform the services which you require us to provide.
During the course of providing our services to you, we will collect Personal Information and Sensitive Information from you by asking you verbally for that information, or requiring you to complete forms or documents necessary to enable us to provide you with our services.
We will take reasonable steps to store information in a secure manner, protected by a combination of physical and technical measures. Information that we store in hard copy, is stored securely within a locked filing cabinet. Information that we store electronically, is stored in a local server/secure cloud-based facility and/or on our computers, which are password protected and are kept in secure locations at all times.
We will take all reasonable steps to protect the security of your Personal Information and Sensitive Information held by us. This includes appropriate technology to protect your Personal Information and Sensitive Information stored electronically, such as passwords, as well as limiting the number of personnel who have access to your Personal Information and Sensitive Information, whether stored electronically or in hard copy.
To limit the possibility of human error, we will regularly provide training to our staff regarding the collection, storage and handling of your Personal Information and Sensitive Information.
When we no longer require your Personal Information and Sensitive Information, it will be destroyed or permanently de-identified. However, we will retain information for as long as the law requires.
A data breach is when Personal Information and/or Sensitive Information held by us is lost or subjected to unauthorised access, modification, disclosure, or other misuse or interference. Examples of a data breach are when a device containing personal information of clients is lost or stolen, an entity’s database containing personal information is hacked or an entity mistakenly provides personal information to the wrong person. A ‘data breach’ may also constitute a breach of the Privacy Act, however this will depend on whether the circumstances giving rise to the data breach also constitute a breach of one or more of the APPs. We have a data breach response plan. Our actions in the first 24 hours after discovering a data breach are crucial to the success of our response. A quick response can substantially decrease the impact on the affected individuals.
However, despite our reasonable efforts, we cannot guarantee that the security of your Personal Information and Sensitive Information will not be breached. Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability and responsibility for any damage you may suffer due to a data breach, except to the extent that our liability cannot be excluded by applicable laws and regulations which we are subject to.
We may use your Personal Information and Sensitive Information for the following purposes:
This includes us using this information to communicate with you about our services, for internal administration, direct marketing and planning purposes. We will also use your personal information for purposes related to those described above which would be reasonably expected by you. You may request not to receive direct marketing communication from us.
We will not use your Personal Information and Sensitive Information for purposes other than those described above, unless we have your consent, or there are specified law enforcement or public health and safety reasons (as permitted under the Act).
We may outsource business functions to other organisations and as such, it is possible that your Personal Information and Sensitive Information will, as required from time to time, be disclosed or transferred to other organisations to allow them to assist us to provide you with services.
We will disclose your Personal Information and Sensitive Information to overseas recipients as and when required in order to provide you with the services. If we transfer your Personal Information outside Australia, we may endeavour to comply with the requirements of the Act that relate to transborder data flows, but we cannot guarantee compliance and you specifically agree that you understand this. Therefore, to the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all liability and responsibility for any damage you may suffer due to our non-compliance with APP 8.1, except to the extent that our liability cannot be excluded by applicable laws and regulations which we are subject to.
You should also be aware that:
While we will not directly disclose your Personal Information and Sensitive Information to overseas recipients without your consent, the entities to which we may disclose your Personal Information and Sensitive Information may do so. We are unable to say what countries, if any, those recipients are likely to be located in as the locations will differ from time to time.
When we receive Personal Information or Sensitive Information from individuals in the European Union (the EU), we will be required to comply with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The GDPR applies to data processing activities of processors and data controllers outside of the EU, regardless of size, where the processing activities are related to:
The GDPR requires us to comply with seven principles with regards to processing Personal Information and Sensitive Information. To that end, we can confirm that we:
We are required, under the GDPR, to obtain your express consent to the processing of your Personal information in the form of a signed document. We confirm that we will require you to physically sign and return any document that we require in this regard. If you do not sign and return such document, we will not be able to collect your Personal Information which may mean we cannot provide you with certain goods or services.
