It explains how Gemteq will collect, use and disclose your personal information.
Collection of Your Personal Information
Your personal information may be collected by GEMTEQ from time to time for its own use and in connection with providing you with the Services. Generally, the type of information we collect about you is the information included in your job application or resume. The type of information collected may include (but is not limited to):
- personal details including full name, date of birth, address and other contact details;
- emergency contact details;
- information about termination or terms and conditions of your current and/or any previous employment;

Generally, we collect your personal information to facilitate the provision of the Services.
There may be occasions when we obtain personal information about you from a third party, such as when we contact your nominated referees or when receiving the results of a psychological or competency test.
Sensitive Information
Some personal information we collect and hold is 'sensitive'. Sensitive information relates to a person's racial or ethnic origin, membership of political bodies, religions or trade unions, professional or trade associations, sexual preferences or activities, criminal record, state of health and medical history. Sometimes, the provision of the Services will require the collection of sensitive information. We will only collect this type of information with your express consent.
However, if you do not provide us with the information we seek, we may be limited in our ability to provide you with our services.
Use and Disclosure of Your Personal Information
We may use and disclose your personal information solely for the purpose for which it was collected, or we may use it for any related secondary purpose involved in providing the Services.
We may disclose your personal information to:
- potential employers;
- clients who may wish to engage your services as a contractor or temporary employee;
- organisations that conduct competency or psychometric tests;
- referees;
- to IT service providers;
- to courts, tribunals and regulatory authorities as agreed or as authorised by law;
- depending on the circumstances, to the Australian Federal Police to verify your criminal record; and
- to anyone you authorise.
Accuracy of Your Personal Information
Gemteq aims to ensure that your personal information is accurate, complete and up-to-date. We realise that this information changes frequently with changes of address and other personal circumstances. It is your responsibility to advise Gemteq of any such changes.
Security of Your Personal Information
Gemteq will take all reasonable precautions to protect your personal information from loss, misuse or alteration.
Gemteq stores your personal information a combination of secure computer storage facilities and paper based files and other records.
In the event that you transmit any personal information using the Gemteq website, Gemteq will take all reasonable steps to protect that personal information. However, Gemteq cannot guarantee the security of such information because data transmissions over the Internet are never totally secure.
