Directors Australia Privacy Policy highlights our dedication in the protection of personal information through the collection, storage and use of data.

Personal Information Held

Personal information is any information that can be used to identify you.

The personal information Directors Australia collects about you may include your name and contact details, career history, qualifications, education, Australian residency/visa status and professional associations and memberships.

Directors Australia will only collect personal information that is necessary to perform our services. Failure to provide the information sought by Directors Australia may not enable us to complete the specific service requested.

Personal information that is sensitive, including information regarding a person’s health, ethnic origin or criminal record, is not generally collected by Directors Australia. However, if the collection of such information is required by law or necessary to perform our services, we will require your consent to collect this.

Collecting Your Personal Information

Your personal information will be collected directly from you by a consultant or through your use of Directors Australia’s on-line database or in response to a Directors Australia printed and/or on-line advertisement.

Directors Australia may also need to obtain further personal information about you from an external third party such as a regulator, referee, professional association and educational institution.

Use of Personal Information

The collection of your personal information will assist Directors Australia in providing a professional service to you. Directors Australia retains this information for purposes including to:

• assist you in finding a suitable position; 
• provide career guidance; 
• ensure we are familiar with and fully understand your needs; and 
• inform you of our services, events and opportunities. 

Disclosing Personal Information

Directors Australia may use and disclose your personal information to third parties for the purposes it was collected. These purposes could include:

• potential boards/employers; 
• your nominated referees; 
• any educational organisation and/or professional association to the extent necessary to verify your qualifications; and 
• any regulator or law enforcement entity. 

We will not disclose your personal information to a third party or conduct referee checks without your consent unless otherwise required by law.

Security

To prevent any unauthorised access to your information, Directors Australia has installed computer and network security systems. Hard copies of personal information are stored in secure locations. Only authorised staff have access to candidates’ personal information whether held electronically or in hard copy.

Access and Correction

Directors Australia endeavours to ensure that the personal information it holds is current. If you establish that your personal information held by Directors Australia is not accurate, complete or up to date we will take all reasonable steps to correct our records.

If you have created a director profile via registration through our website, you are able to update your personal information directly into our database.

You have the right to access and copy your personal information upon request, subject to certain exceptions provided for in the National Privacy Principles.

Any request to access your personal details, change any personal details or any other privacy queries, should be directed to our Privacy Officer.
