THE ACORN PARTNERSHIP
PRIVACY
To help you get the most from your career and target the very best opportunities, we need to ask you a lot of questions. Sometimes, we may also need to contact third parties, like your nominated referees, previous employers and work colleagues, and professional associations, or review the results of psychological or competency/aptitude tests.
It is natural that you might be concerned about what we do with your information. In answer to that concern, The Acorn Partnership is absolutely committed to protecting your privacy. This includes things like your home address, telephone numbers, email address, employment history, academic qualifications, health (including any disabilities), or any other information about you and your career. Apart from our solid assurance that we will respect your privacy, please feel confident that you are also protected by the Privacy Act 1988, as amended by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Act 2000.
Your personal information will only be disclosed with your permission, and only to potential and actual employers and clients of The Acorn Partnership and referees. It may also be disclosed to those who conduct our aptitude, competency or personality assessments, or any person with a lawful entitlement to such information.
We store your information in hard copy or in electronic form, and have security procedures in place to protect it from unauthorised access, loss, misuse or alteration. We dispose of your information once it is no longer needed to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by law.
Please let us know if your information changes. We may also contact you from time to time to make sure everything is up-to-date. If you wish to access your personal details, feel free to contact our Privacy Officer. We will deal with your enquiry as soon as possible, but may ask for a fee if there are any costs incurred while retrieving the information.
The Acorn Partnership reserves the right to modify or amend this Privacy Policy at any time and for any reason.
