(a)
users of the Service;


(b)
outsourced service providers and their personnel;

(e)

14.All
information sent by your web browser will be used only to assist us for the purposes of providing an effective service on the Website. We may from time to time supply the owners or operators of third-party websites from which it is possible to link to the Website with information relating to the number of users linking to the Website from such third-party website. You will not personally be identifiable from this information.


15.ARA
Talent Registry may use the information that it automatically receives from your web browser to see which pages you visit within the Website, which website you visited before coming to ours, and where you go after you leave. ARA Talent Registry can then develop statistics that are helpful in understanding how our visitors use the Website. We may use this information to measure the use of the Website and to administer and improve Service or the Website. Once aggregated for statistical purposes, you will not be personally identified from this information. This statistical data is interpreted by ARA Talent Registry in its continuing effort to present the Service and the Website content that visitors are seeking in a format they find most helpful.


16.We
won’t use or disclose your credit card information for purposes other than providing the Services you have requested. Where credit card information is stored for convenience in processing future transactions, it is stored securely and is accessed only via the use of encrypted tokens, following a request by you.


ONLINE
APPLICATIONS


17.If
you are a job-hunter, you do not need to be registered to the Service to apply for a job. Job applications require you to complete mandatory fields (first name, last name, phone and email) so that the Employer can identify and contact you. ARA Talent Registry retains your applications, including attachments in order to customise the service we provide to you (which may include creating a personalised profile for you).


18.By
applying to a position advertised on ARA Talent Registry you are requesting that ARA Talent Registry pass the information to the relevant employer. All questions relating to positions advertised and applications should be directed to the talent-hunter (or their agent), not ARA Talent Registry. ARA Talent Registry simply forwards your online application to the employer and stores the application.


WILL
YOU RECEIVE DIRECT MARKETING?


19.If
you provide us with your personal information you authorise us to send you promotional messages and materials related to ARA Talent Registry’s products and services, unless you submit a later request not to receive direct marketing communications.


20.ARA
Talent Registry’s direct marketing messages and materials will contain a prominent statement (including, for electronic messages, a functional unsubscribe facility) that you may request not to receive direct marketing communications. ARA Talent Registry will endeavour to action your request within 10 working days of receiving your request.


WILL
YOUR INFORMATION BE DISCLOSED OVERSEAS?


21.We
use a network of global third-party service providers in order to ensure that the Services we provide to you are of the best possible standard. Some of our service providers, or the services they provide (like cloud-based storage solutions), are based outside Australia - in places like Europe, Asia and the US. In order to protect your information, we take care where possible to work with service providers who we consider maintain acceptable standards of data security compliance, and we do our part to meet those standards as they apply to ARA Talent Registry.
