This policy describes the way that Serendis collects, holds, discloses and protects personal information. For further information, or to request a copy of this policy in a different format, please contact our Privacy Officer at the address listed below.
Data Collection
We will primarily collect personal information directly from you, or from your authorised representatives. We may also collect personal information from third parties such as regulatory authorities, your employer, other organisations with whom you have dealings, government agencies, credit reporting agencies, recruitment agencies, information or service providers or publicly available records.
The types of personal information that we collect and hold is influenced by the nature of our dealings with you. For example, we may collect current and historical personal information including your name, contact details, identification, organisation, employment, positions held and enquiry/complaint details. We may also collect personal information about your other dealings with us and our clients, including any contact we have with you by telephone, email or online.
We may collect personal information about you when you:
- request us to supply goods or services to you;
- attend an event hosted or sponsored by us;
- contact us directly;
- supply goods or services to us; or
- apply for or register your interest in employment with us.
If we receive unsolicited personal information, we will handle such information in accordance with the law, including by destroying or de-identifying such information as required by law.
Careers and recruitment
If you apply to Serendis for a job, you may need to provide information about your education, employment, racial background and state of health. Your application will constitute your express consent to our use of this information to assess your application and to allow us to carry out any monitoring activities which may be required of us under applicable law as an employer. We may also carry out screening checks (including reference, background, directorship, financial probity, identity, eligibility to work, vocational suitability and criminal record checks) and consider you for other positions. We may exchange your personal information with academic institutions, recruiters, screening check providers, health service providers, professional and trade associations, law enforcement agencies, referees and your current and previous employers. Without your personal information we may not be able to consider you for positions with us.
Sensitive Information
Some of the information we collect, for example, in the recruitment context outlined above, may be sensitive information. Sensitive information includes racial or ethnic origin, criminal record, court records, medical records, disability status or health information. We will only collect sensitive information about you with your consent or when permissible under Australian law, and will only use this information for a legitimate purpose where it is reasonably necessary.
Use of Information
The information that you give us will be generally used to:
- provide goods and services to you;
- to maintain and update our records;
- to maintain our relationship with you;
- assess your suitability for a position of employment; or
- keep you informed of relevant activities and offers from Serendis; and
- allow us to understand trends and improve our business offerings from time to time.
Disclosure of Information
We do not sell or trade personal information about you to or with third parties.
We may use your personal information to send you promotional material in relation to our services from time to time. If we do so, we will give you the option to opt-out of receiving this material.
On occasion, we may disclose your personal information to another person, such as consultants, regulatory bodies or external service providers. Where we do so, disclosure will be as permitted under the Australian Privacy Principles and/or with your consent if required.
We do not intend to disclose your information to overseas recipients, however if this were to change we will endeavour to inform you of where the recipients are likely to be located.
