BigRedSky GENERAL PRIVACY POLICY

Introduction
This General Privacy Policy sets out how BigRedSky handles personal information, which you may provide as a user of this Website and BRS Services. BigRedSky has adopted the National Principles for Fair Handling of Personal Information introduced by the Australian Federal Privacy Commission and as supported by the Privacy Amendment (Private Sector) Bill 2000. BRS is committed to treat all personal information in line with the best privacy practices.

Please note that in addition to these statements BigRedSky is committed to comply with the Internet Industry Association's Internet Industry Code of Practice. The current version of this Code of Practice may be viewed at: www.iia.net.au.

The terms of this General Privacy Policy form part of and should be read in conjunction with the Terms of Use preceding these provisions to the extent applicable.

The following Privacy Policy is applicable to job seekers whom respond to job applications posted on Customer's branded BRS A.S.P. website, and to job seekers whom have registered as a Member.

To the extent the General Privacy Policy is inconsistent with any of the Terms of Use, the terms of this General Privacy Policy will prevail.
BRS Service purpose
BRS is a Customer (recruiting organisation) specific branded database which enables the job seeker to respond to job applications advertised by the Customer. Each Customer has it's own secure database as a segment of the main BRS system database, all centrally stored on a BRS server, sharing the advantages of low Total Costs of Ownership, security and upgradeability.

No data can be shared or accessed between one Customer and another, even though their databases may reside on the same physical servers.

BRS may appear transparently as being fully integrated into a Customer's website, or as a standalone website "backend" branded as the Client organisation.

BigRedSky has no interest in intervention or access to any data provided on a Customer 's BRS database, other than if BRS has been granted access specifically by the Customer for the purpose of fault rectification or data export for the Customer's own specific use.

BigRedSky will enforce the security and privacy of job seeker data to the extent of our rights within the ASPLA (Application Service Provider Licence Agreements) between the Customer and BigRedSky, which details the obligations of each part in respect to the use of information on the site and Customer databases.

BigRedSky will be indemnified by the Customer for any breach of Privacy of Customer data or Job seeker data, according to the BigRedSky General Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use, and BigRedSky General Privacy Conditions.
Data Quality, Access & Correction

If you apply for a particular position you cannot amend your application once your have sent your application to the recruiter. If you are a registered member of a BRS powered Website, you can access the information that you have provided at any time by entering your user name and password, or you can contact us if you wish us to amend your records for you. We can only amend your records if you give us your user name and password. If you do this, we will request that you change your password as soon as possible. BRS will not be responsible for any unauthorised use of the password as a consequence of a failure to change your password upon our request.
Collection of Personal Information
BigRedSky has no interest in the collection of personal information of job seekers EXCEPT when BigRedSky incorporates the BRS A.S.P. Services into their own website for their own use as an employer seeking applications to genuine job advertisements. The BRS A.S.P. system collects your personal information as provided by you, on behalf of the organisation for which you have submitted the information. This information is stored in a database to be used exclusively by that organisation. The BRS system will only collect personal information from you that is necessary to:
1. Properly assess your request and provide you with services enabled by using BRS Products;
2. notify you of any administrative matters; or
3. notify you if your access to our services will be suspended for any reason. We will only collect personal information that you voluntarily provide by using this Website or by any other method agreed to by you./li>
If you do not provide us with all personal information requested we may not be able to properly assess your request for service and the level of service we can provide you may be less than we could otherwise provide.

We will not collect information about you from anyone else unless we are acting in our capacity as a Recruiter. If we are acting as a Recruiter for a third party, we may adopt verification procedures to check the accuracy of your personal information in processing job applications.
Cookies
Cookies are pieces of information that a website can transfer to an individual's computer hard drive. Cookies can be used for record keeping and statistical information, and to maintain a connection between the user and a database on a web server. Cookies can make using websites easier to use by storing information about your preferences on a particular website. The information remains on your computer after the Internet session finishes. Many people find the concept of Cookies intrusive, therefore most popular Internet browsers have the ability to warn the user of Cookies, or disable them from being stored on the user's computer.

BRS requires that a Cookie is transmitted and stored on the user's computer soley to maintain the connection between the website server and the user (job applicant). This is called a session variable for the purposes of BRS Services. BRS may, however, choose to use cookies for other purposes to improve BRS Products. If you normally prefer not to receive cookies, you can adjust your Internet browser to warn you when cookies are being used.
