PageUp’s Privacy Policy can be found here: https://www.pageuppeople.com/privacy-policy/

The personal information collected includes your name, contact details and account related information.

Application information that is provided as part of WA Public Sector recruitment processes is not handled by this system. Further information about how your personal information is handled as part of recruitment processes at different agencies can be found on the system where you submitted the application. 

 

Purpose of collection and use

Your personal information is used solely to administer and maintain your Jobs Board profile and support authorised recruitment communications.

Requests to provide information

Generally, you will know if we are collecting your personal information because we will ask you for it. For example, if you click “apply” or subscribe to receive job alerts (emailed newsletters), we will ask you to provide your name and contact details.

Providing us with the requested information is voluntary. If you do not choose to provide us with the requested information, we may not be able to respond to you or provide you with the service you are seeking.

 
Automatic collection by third parties

We use online tools to gather information about visitors to our website, this helps us improve our website and deliver government services. To do this, we use software provided third party vendors, Google Analytics, which is a web analytics service that collects data about how you use our site and services, and Clarity which is a user behaviour analytics service that collects data about how users interact with our site and service. We only collect anonymous information. No identifiable personal data is collected.

 

Use of web analytics data

We use the information collected about how you use the jobs board and how the website performs during your visit for statistical and system administration purposes. We do this to help:

• monitor and understand usage trends to make sure the jobs board is meeting the needs of its users
• understand and enhance your experience of the jobs board (for example, to improve content or make performance improvements)
• monitor and protect the jobs board from cyber security threats.

 We do not use this information to identify you or match it with any other personal information we collect from you.

Disclosure of personal information

Your personal information may be disclosed to PageUp, as the contracted system service provider operating the Jobs Board on behalf of the Public Sector Commission.

Your personal information will not be disclosed to other third parties unless required for the purpose for which it is collected, authorised by law or with your permission.

 
Overseas disclosure of personal information

To deliver the WA Government Jobs Board services, including job alerts and notifications, PageUp as the system operator on behalf of the Public Sector Commission, uses third-party service providers to send email communications.

These service providers may store or process personal information (such as your name and email address) in locations outside Australia, including the United States and Europe.

Where personal information is handled overseas:

• it is only used for the purpose of delivering communication services on our behalf
• the Public Sector Commission requires our service providers to meet strict privacy and information security obligations.

These providers are not allowed to use your personal information for their own purposes, or for any secondary purposes unless explicitly approved by you. You can change your communication preferences at any time by changing your settings in your Job Seeker Profile.
