Privacy Policy

Your privacy is important to Vanquish Consulting

Your privacy is important to us. This statement outlines Vanquish Consulting’s policy on how we collect personal information and how we maintain, use, store and disclose the personal information we hold and reflects our commitment to you. It applies to all operations within Vanquish Consulting Pty Limited (‘Vanquish Consulting’) in Australia.

It is the policy of Vanquish Consulting to respect the confidentiality of information and the privacy of individuals. Vanquish Consulting is bound by the Australian Privacy Principles (APP) contained in the Privacy Act 1988 (as amended) (Australian Act) in Australia.

The Vanquish Consulting privacy policy will be reviewed and updated from time to time to take account of new laws and technology, changes to our operations and practices and to make sure it remains appropriate to the changing environment. Please regularly check our privacy policy so that you are aware of these updates and changes. Any information we hold will be governed by the most current version of the Vanquish Consulting privacy policy.

The Vanquish Consulting privacy policy is based on transparency

We are committed to being open and transparent about how we manage personal information.

Types of personal information held by Vanquish Consulting and when and how it is collected

This Privacy Policy applies to the personal information of our candidates, clients, suppliers and website users.

Personal information includes information regarding your contact details, work experience, qualifications, aptitude test results, opinions about your work performance (e.g. references), incidents at the workplace, and other information obtained or received by us in connection with your possible and actual work placements.

Sensitive information (Australia)

Sensitive information is a special category of personal information under the Australian Act. It is information or opinion about you, including membership of a professional or trade association or membership of a trade union; criminal record; health information, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, membership of a political association, religious beliefs or affiliations, philosophical beliefs, or sexual preferences or practices. As outlined in the Australian Act, sensitive information can, in most cases, only be disclosed with your consent.

Disclosures

We may disclose your personal information (including to trusted third parties) for the purposes for which it is primarily held or for a related secondary purpose and in some cases, we may only disclose information with your consent. Your personal and sensitive information may be disclosed to:

• Potential and      actual employers and clients of Vanquish Consulting and trusted third      parties who may be based outside of Australia
• Referees
• Third parties      used by our clients as part of their recruitment, administration,      screening and selection processes
• Internal and      external auditors of Vanquish Consulting or our clients when we are      required to share this data with them upon request in order to comply with      our contractual or regulatory obligations
• Third parties      who assist us by developing services and processes to optimise and improve      the quality and efficiency of recruitment services
• A professional      association or registration body that has a legitimate interest in the      disclosure of your personal and sensitive information
• Any person      with a lawful entitlement to obtain the information
• If Vanquish      Consulting merges with or is acquired by another business or company in      the future, (or is in meaningful discussions about such a possibility) we      may share your personal data with the (prospective) new owners of the      business or company
• Artificial      Intelligence Tools such as algorithms or machine learning (including those      provided by third parties)

Use of Artificial Intelligence 

We also sometimes use automated systems such as filtering tools, or occasionally more complex tools which use an element of artificial intelligence, such as algorithms or machine learning (including those provided by third parties), to help us quickly, efficiently and more accurately to analyse data we have about you and other Candidates, as well as data we hold on our Clients' needs, and this ultimately helps us to make decisions based on this data. This can include applying tools which use algorithms (such as filtering tools or machine learning) to Candidate personal data in order to help us come up with the best possible shortlist for a particular role. Such technology should reduce significantly the amount of time needed to consider when Candidates might be the best fit for relevant jobs. This should in turn make the recruitment process much more efficient and effective, which, we hope, will improve your overall experience with us.
