Privacy Policy

SANREC is committed to protecting personal information collected from you throughout the recruitment and selection process. Personal information includes things like the information you include on your Resume or job application. For a more detailed list of what personal information is please refer to the next section in this policy.

 If you are placed into a job by us, any further personal information collected or generated as a result of our relationship is also protected from access by unauthorised individuals. Where you are a person seeking a placement, we will only ask for and record personal information that will help us to place you in the jobs best suited to you, and we will not pass on any personal information without your consent. We require personal information passed to us by clients or referees to be treated in the same way. By providing your details to us, you are agreeing that we may contact you, either by phone, email or SMS, to make you aware of new job opportunities.

We may also ask for and record personal information from other individuals with whom we interact, for example, personnel employed or engaged by our clients to deal with us. We strive to protect data transmitted to us over the internet but because such transmissions cannot be guaranteed to be 100% secure, we do not warrant the security of personal information transmitted in this way, but we will make every effort to make it secure on our own systems.

Information collected by us will not be rented, sold or licensed to anyone else. It may be necessary for us to hold records for an extended period of time. However, when the information is no longer of use to us, we may destroy or de-identify it in a manner that protects your privacy. Likewise, you have the option of requesting that your details be deleted from our databases at any time. Personal information held by us is available for your review in accordance with the provisions of the Privacy Act. All requests for review or deletion of your personal information should be submitted to job@sanrecglobal.com. We will respond to your request within 30 days.
