Recrute Genio Pty Ltd does not actively target or process the personal information of individuals residing in the European Union, and is not subject to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Where sensitive information is collected, we will only do so with the individual’s express consent, unless an exception under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) applies. Such information will be handled with enhanced safeguards and used only to the extent necessary, proportionate, and legally permissible.

4. How We Collect Personal Information

We collect personal information in a lawful and fair manner, and only to the extent reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, our lawful recruitment and staffing activities. We act solely as a sourcing and introduction service — identifying, assessing, and recommending candidates for Permanent, Fixed‑term, or Casual roles to be engaged directly on our clients’ payroll. We do not employ candidates, manage their work, or administer payroll services.

We may collect personal information:

Directly from you — for example, when you submit your CV or application through our website; via third‑party platforms (including Microsoft Forms, LinkedIn Business Pages, or job boards like seek or linkedin); by email; in person during interviews or events; or by phone or video call.
From authorised third parties — including referees, skills‑testing providers, background‑checking agencies, clients or other professional contacts providing feedback on your work performance or suitability for a role, or clients to whom you have agreed we may submit your details.
From publicly available sources — such as professional networking profiles, social media or via any platform online, business directories, or public registers, where relevant to assessing suitability for a role.
Automatically when you interact with our digital services — via cookies, similar technologies, analytics tools, and server logs that may capture technical and usage information as outlined in Section 3 above. This can include your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, access dates/times, pages viewed, referral sources, and browsing patterns.

4.1. Cookies, Analytics, and Hosting Platform

Our website is hosted and operated using Wix. Wix may collect personal information and use cookies or similar technologies in connection with your visit. Some cookies are set and controlled by Wix for its own purposes (for example, analytics, functionality, or security), and we do not control Wix’s independent data handling practices. For more information, please refer to Wix’s Privacy Policy.

We take reasonable steps to ensure our use of Wix’s services is consistent with our obligations under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, including reviewing Wix’s published privacy and security commitments and using only features necessary for the operation and security of our website.

We also use cookies and similar technologies directly, or through approved service providers, to:

Operate and secure our website (strictly necessary cookies)
Analyse usage trends to improve our services (analytics/performance cookies)
Remember your settings and preferences (functionality cookies)
Where applicable, deliver relevant content or measure campaign effectiveness (advertising/measurement cookies)

You can manage or block cookies through your browser or device settings and delete cookies at any time. Blocking certain cookies (particularly those that are strictly necessary) may affect website functionality. Where legally required, we will seek your consent for non‑essential cookies, and you can withdraw consent at any time by using the same controls.

4.2. Third‑Party Links

Our website may contain links to third‑party websites, resources, or platforms. These are provided for convenience only. We do not control, endorse, or approve the content, privacy practices, or security of any third‑party websites. Before clicking on or interacting with any third‑party link, you should review that website’s privacy policy, terms of use, and security practices to ensure you are comfortable with them. Accessing any third‑party link is at your own risk, and we are not responsible for any loss or damage arising from your use of those sites.

4.3. Sensitive Information

We only collect sensitive information (as defined in s 6 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)) with your express consent or where authorised or required by law. Examples include:

Criminal history checks where relevant to a role
Health information to support workplace adjustments requested by a client
Union or professional memberships where relevant to position requirements

Where we collect personal information about you from someone else, we will take reasonable steps to notify you as soon as practicable, including the source and the purpose of the collection, unless an APP exception applies.

5. Purposes for Collecting, Holding, Using and Disclosing Personal Information

We collect, store, use, and disclose personal information only for purposes that are reasonably necessary for, or directly related to, the operation of our business and the delivery of our lawful recruitment and staffing services. We operate solely as a sourcing and introduction service — identifying, assessing, and recommending candidates for permanent, fixed‑term, or casual roles to be engaged directly on our clients’ payroll. We do not employ, payroll, supervise, or manage candidates at any stage.

We will never sell, rent, trade, or otherwise commercially exploit personal information as a standalone asset.

Our purposes include:

Facilitating business interactions with you, including service provision and communications with our team members
Responding to your enquiries or chats, support requests, or other communications via phone, email, third‑party platforms, or through our websites
Managing internal operations such as record keeping, administration, invoicing, and billing
Assessing employment applications submitted to us, including recruitment‑related communications and evaluations
Presenting candidate details (e.g., resume or CV, qualifications, referees) to clients, with the individual’s express consent
Conducting reference checks, work‑rights verification, and background screening where relevant and permitted by law
Conducting analytics, market research, and business development activities to improve our services, platforms, and social media presence (including aggregated or de‑identified data where practicable)
Delivering advertising and marketing communications about our services, events, or offerings, in compliance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles
Administering promotions, competitions, or loyalty benefits
Protecting, maintaining, and improving the security and functionality of our IT systems and digital platforms
Managing and resolving complaints, disputes, or investigations
Meeting audit, insurance, and corporate governance requirements
Complying with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, or where otherwise permitted or required by law.

5.1. Direct Marketing

We may use your personal information to send you communications about our recruitment services, industry insights, or related events where:

you have provided consent; or
you would reasonably expect us to use your information for this purpose.

You may opt out of marketing communications at any time by using the unsubscribe facility in our emails, or by contacting us directly. We will never use sensitive information (as defined in s 6 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)) for direct marketing without your explicit consent.

5.2. Handling of Sensitive Information

We only collect, retain, use, and disclose sensitive information where it is reasonably necessary and permitted by law, including:

Where you have expressly consented to its collection or use
For the primary purpose for which the information was provided (e.g., facilitating a recruitment process for a specific role)
For directly related secondary purposes, including disclosure to authorised third parties where reasonably required to facilitate our business relationship
In circumstances where contacting emergency services or a nominated support person is necessary due to a serious and imminent threat to your life, health, or safety — or that of another person — and it is impracticable to obtain your consent
Where required or permitted by applicable laws or regulations

Where sensitive information is collected, it is handled with enhanced care and only to the extent necessary, proportionate, and legally permissible.

6. Anonymity and Pseudonymity

Where it is lawful and practicable, individuals may choose not to identify themselves, or may use a pseudonym, when dealing with us. Examples include making a general enquiry about our services or browsing our website without submitting personal information.

However, in most cases, we cannot provide recruitment and staffing services without collecting certain personal information. For example:

If you are a candidate seeking to be considered for a role, we require sufficient details to assess your suitability and (with your consent) present your information to a client for potential engagement.
If you are a client seeking to engage our services, we require identifiable information to establish and manage our business relationship.

Where anonymity or pseudonymity is requested, and it is not practicable to provide the requested service in that manner, we will inform you and explain the reasons.

7. Storage and Security of Personal Information

We take reasonable steps to protect the personal information we collect, hold, and control from misuse, interference, loss, and from unauthorised access, modification, or disclosure.

We only collect and retain personal information where it is required for a lawful recruitment purpose directly related to our sourcing and introduction services. If personal information is received but not required, we will securely destroy or permanently de‑identify it as soon as practicable — including from the first day it is received. We apply a data minimisation approach, collecting only the personal information necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

7.1. Where and How We Store Information

Personal information may be stored in:

Company‑managed devices (including laptops) protected by passwords, access controls, and secure backups
Cloud‑based services operated by us or approved service providers
Third‑party recruitment databases or applicant tracking systems (ATS), hosted in Australia or overseas

Some third‑party providers may store or process personal information in countries outside Australia, under the laws of those jurisdictions. Before you provide us with any personal information, you may request details of these providers, review their privacy policies, and decide whether you wish to proceed.

7.2. Sensitive Information

We avoid collecting sensitive information (as defined in s 6 of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)) unless it is strictly necessary for a specific, lawful recruitment purpose and we have your express consent or are otherwise permitted by law.

Where such information is collected, it is subject to appropriate access limitations and is securely destroyed or permanently de‑identified as soon as it is no longer required.

7.3. Security Measures Applied Across All Storage Locations

Role‑based access controls for authorised personnel.
Secure authentication for systems containing personal information.
Encrypted data transmission (SSL/TLS) for online forms and communications.
Regular software updates and malware protection.
Staff training in privacy, security awareness, and lawful handling of personal information.
Documented breach‑response protocols in line with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
Periodic review and testing of our security measures to ensure they remain effective.
Where a data breach is likely to result in serious harm, we will notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner in accordance with the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme

7.4. Third‑Party Service Providers, Artificial Intelligence and Overseas Storage

We may engage third‑party service providers to support our business operations, including applicant tracking systems (ATS), cloud hosting, analytics, scheduling, communications, and other functions. Where personal information is stored or processed by such providers, we take reasonable steps to assess their privacy and security practices for consistency with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Prior to engagement, we review each provider’s published privacy and security documentation and, where practicable, include contractual terms requiring them to handle personal information in a manner consistent with the APPs. However, we do not control these providers’ internal operations, infrastructure, or independent data handling practices.

We may also use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies within our business processes to support communications, operational efficiency, and data handling. Where AI tools interact with personal information, we take reasonable steps to ensure they operate lawfully, fairly, and transparently, in accordance with the APPs. We do not use AI to make automated decisions with legal or significant effect on individuals without appropriate human oversight.

Some providers may store or process personal information in countries outside Australia. Where practicable, we will inform you of the countries in which your personal information is likely to be stored. You may request details of our current overseas storage locations and review the relevant providers’ privacy policies before deciding whether to provide us with your personal information.

While we take reasonable steps to work with providers that maintain strong privacy and security standards — including encrypted data transmission and breach notification protocols — your personal information may be subject to the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is stored or processed. We are not responsible for any loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, or other misuse of personal information that occurs as a result of a breach of those providers’ systems outside our reasonable control.

Any risks associated with the handling of personal information by third-party providers are accepted at your discretion. You may choose not to provide personal information by declining to engage with our services. However, without your express, implied, or bundled consent to our handling of personal information in accordance with this policy, we are unable to provide services to you.

7.5. Retention and Destruction

We retain personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, or as required by law. When personal information is no longer required — including from the first day we receive it if it is unnecessary — we take reasonable steps to securely destroy or permanently de‑identify it where it is within our control.

Where personal information is stored in systems operated by third‑party service providers (such as cloud platforms, website hosts, or applicant tracking systems or any platform online or offline), we will take reasonable steps to manage our accounts and settings to remove or de‑identify that information where possible or otherwise cease using and accessing it. However, we do not control the independent retention and destruction practices of those providers, and your information may remain in their systems in accordance with their own privacy policies and legal obligations.

8. Our disclosures of personal information to third parties

8.1. Personal Information

We will disclose personal information (excluding sensitive information) to third parties only where:

The disclosure is reasonably necessary for our business functions or activities, including directly related secondary purposes within your reasonable expectations; or
It is permitted or required by law.

Where a proposed disclosure is not for our business functions/activities and is not otherwise required or authorised by law, we will obtain your consent before proceeding.

You have provided explicit consent; or
The disclosure is permitted or required under applicable law; and

8.3. Overseas Disclosures

Some personal information may be stored or accessed in overseas locations (including, but not limited to, India) as part of our operational workflows. Where personal information is shared with third‑party service providers, suppliers, or subcontractors, those parties may also store, transfer, or access such data outside Australia.

We take reasonable steps to use reputable providers whose stated privacy and security practices are consistent with the requirements of the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, and we review available information about their privacy and security measures before using their services. However, we do not control these providers’ internal operations, infrastructure, or independent data handling practices.

Where practicable, we will inform you of the countries in which your personal information is likely to be disclosed or stored. You may request details of our current overseas disclosure locations and review the relevant providers’ privacy policies before deciding whether to provide us with your personal information.

Where we disclose personal information to an overseas recipient, we will take reasonable steps to ensure that the recipient does not breach the APPs in relation to that information, unless:

You have expressly consented to the disclosure after being informed that we will not be accountable under the APPs for the recipient’s handling of your information;
The disclosure is required or authorised by law; or
An APP exception otherwise applies.

While we take reasonable steps to work with providers that maintain strong privacy and security standards, we do not guarantee the security of personal information handled by third‑party service providers and are not responsible for any loss, unauthorised access, disclosure, or other misuse of personal information that occurs as a result of a breach of those providers’ systems outside our reasonable control. The decision to provide personal information to us — knowing it may be stored or processed by such providers — rests with you.

9. Access to and Correction of Personal Information

You may request access to the personal information we hold about you, and you may request that we correct that information if you believe it is inaccurate, out‑of‑date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading.

We will respond to access or correction requests within a reasonable period and in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

How to Make a Request

Requests for access or correction should be made in writing to our Privacy Contact (see Section 16: Contact Us). We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.

Access

Where we provide access, it will generally be in the same format in which the information is held, unless you request an alternative and it is reasonable and practicable to do so. We will not charge you for making an access request, but we may charge a reasonable fee for providing access (for example, for photocopying or postage costs).

We may refuse access where:

Granting access would pose a serious threat to the life, health, or safety of any individual, or to public health or public safety
Access would have an unreasonable impact on the privacy of others
The request is frivolous or vexatious
The information relates to existing or anticipated legal proceedings, and access would not be available by the discovery process in those proceedings
Giving access would reveal our intentions in relation to negotiations in a way that would prejudice those negotiations
Providing access would be unlawful or we are required or authorised to withhold it by law or a court/tribunal order
Access would prejudice enforcement‑related activities conducted by, or on behalf of, an enforcement body
Denial of access is otherwise permitted under the Australian Privacy Principles

If we refuse access, we will provide written reasons for the refusal and the mechanisms available for you to make a complaint.

Correction

If we are satisfied that the personal information we hold about you is inaccurate, out‑of‑date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading, or if you request that we do so, we will take reasonable steps to correct it.

If we refuse to correct the information as requested, we will provide written reasons for the refusal and the mechanisms available for you to make a complaint. You may request that we associate with the information a statement that you believe it is inaccurate, out‑of‑date, incomplete, irrelevant, or misleading.

Your Discretion Applies

You are not obliged to provide personal information to us. However, if you choose not to, we may be unable to provide certain services or engage with you commercially. By providing personal information, you acknowledge it will be collected, held, used, and disclosed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Third‑Party Provision of Personal Information

If we receive personal information about you from a third party, we will handle and safeguard that information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you are a third party providing us with personal information about another individual, you confirm that you have obtained that individual’s consent to disclose their personal information to us for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

We may use your personal information to send you direct marketing communications about our services or events. You may opt out of receiving marketing communications from us at any time by:

We will respect your decision to restrict or withdraw consent for marketing in accordance with applicable privacy laws.

12. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

Our websites and digital platforms may use cookies and similar technologies (such as tracking pixels, tags, or scripts) to enhance functionality, remember preferences, improve performance, and deliver tailored content or advertisements.

A “cookie” is a small data file stored through your browser that enables us to recognise your device across sessions. Cookies do not, by themselves, reveal personal information such as your name or contact details. However, where you choose to provide personal information via our online interfaces, that information may be associated with cookie‑related tracking for the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy.

We may also use third‑party services — including analytics providers, advertising networks, and social media platforms — that place cookies or similar technologies in your browser. These third parties may collect information about your online activities over time and across different websites, and handle that information in accordance with their own privacy policies. You may request details of our current analytics or advertising providers before deciding whether to use our online services.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling certain cookies — including those essential for website functionality — may affect your ability to access or use some features of our online services.

13. External Links and Third‑Party Websites

Our websites and digital platforms may include links to websites, applications, or online services operated by third parties. These third‑party websites are not under our control and are not governed by this Privacy Policy.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security measures, or content of any third‑party site, nor for any personal information you choose to provide while interacting with such sites. Your interactions with those services are subject to the privacy policies and terms of use of the third party.

We encourage you to review the privacy statements of any third‑party services you access via links on our platforms before providing them with your personal information.

14. Data Security and Risk Disclosure

We take the protection of personal information seriously and implement appropriate physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to reduce the risk of unauthorised access, misuse, interference, loss, alteration, or disclosure. These measures are designed to support the secure handling and storage of personal information throughout its lifecycle, in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles.

While we maintain robust security measures, no method of transmission over the internet or storage via third‑party service providers can be guaranteed as fully secure. Any transfer of personal information is undertaken at your own discretion and risk. We take reasonable steps to work with reputable providers that maintain strong privacy and security standards, but we do not control their internal operations or infrastructure.

15. Privacy Policy Updates and User Acknowledgement

We may amend this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our operations, legal requirements, or best practice guidance. Updated versions will be made available via the link to our Privacy Policy hosted on our official website or other authorised channels.

Where a change is material and affects how we handle personal information, we will take reasonable steps to notify you — for example, by posting a notice on our website or contacting you using the details you have provided to us.

By continuing to interact with Recrute Genio Pty Ltd after an updated Privacy Policy is posted, you acknowledge and accept the current version as it appears at the time of engagement. To remain informed, we recommend reviewing the Privacy Policy before submitting any personal information or initiating service arrangements.
