1. INFORMATION COLLECTED AND HOW IT IS USED

What is personal information?

Personal information includes a broad range of information, or an opinion, that could identify an individual. This can include an individual’s name, signature, address, phone number, date of birth, sensitive information, employee record information, photographs, internet protocol (IP) address (if able to be associated with you), voice print and facial recognition biometrics and location information.

What is sensitive information?

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

What kinds of personal and sensitive information are collected by Easygo?

The kinds of personal information that we collect from you depend on the nature of your dealings with us. The information and data about you which we may collect, use and process includes the following:

  1. information that you provide to us when registering with us, applying for a job or work, by filling in forms on the Website or any other information you submit to us via the Website or email or other means which may include (without limitation) your name, contact details, email address, phone number(s), personally submitted preferences, skills, qualifications, employment history, educational history, bank account and credit card information, or other financial information;
  2. information provided by you when submitting your Curriculum Vitae (CV) and applying for jobs, either for general consideration or for specific positions advertised;
  3. information provided by you during an in person or virtual interview;
  4. records of correspondence, whether via the Website email, telephone or other means;

We will ordinarily collect your personal information directly from you, primarily through your use of the Website, email, telephone or other direct means. We may also collect personal information from others, for example from public records and third parties.

In order to process your job application and verify the personal information you provide us we may use a third-party criminal, background and/or credit checking service which involves a request to have the information you provide matched against official records and may involve use of secure third party systems and services. You consent to such use. Easygo may also arrange, or ask you to arrange, health surveillance, drug and alcohol testing, medical testing or police checks as required by us or legislation. If you are required to provide any of this sensitive information, we will seek your consent first, including your consent to disclose this information.

We may also collect personal information from our employees and individuals associated with our business partners and service providers. Usually this information is limited to name and contact details and the other information we need for the purpose of processing a job application and managing our business relationships. As part of the services we provide, Easygo may gather information and statistics about all visitors to our Website, including the most frequently accessed pages and most frequently used services. We only use such information in aggregate form (that is, the information does not identify any one individual). This information helps us determine the most beneficial parts of our Website and ways in which we can continually improve our online services to create a better overall experience for our users.

If you do not give us the information we seek, we may be limited in our ability to consider you for, and potentially offer, you a suitable work or job position with us.
