About this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy has been created to provide a clear and concise summary of how and when personal information is collected, stored and distributed. This Policy discloses the information gathering and dissemination practices of The Safe Step. The Safe Step has used the Australian Privacy Principles in creating this Privacy Policy.

Personal information

The Safe Step conducts online job advertising and we need to ensure that we have all relevant personal information to be able to serve you and ensure that the environment we create is a secure and trusted one. We therefore collect a range of information to ensure we know who we are dealing with. This information includes your name and address, your telephone number(s), your email address and your resume. All transmission of personal information details will be encrypted during on-line data transfer, by using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology.

Statistical information

When you visit The Safe Step web site, our server logs information which is provided by your browser. This information is used to create summary statistics, which allow us to assess the number of visitors to the different sections of our site. As well as this it allows us to discover what information is most and least used, determine technical design specifications, and help us make our site more useful to visitors. The information logged is as follows:

The date and time of your visit

The address of the referring site

The type of browser you are using

Your top level domain name (for example .com, .gov, .au, .uk etc)

Your server's IP address (a number which is unique to the machine through which you are connected to the Internet: usually one of your service provider's machines)

The address of the pages accessed and any documents downloaded

The Safe Step will make no attempt to identify users or their browsing activities, unless disclosure is required by law or due to a mandatory requirement of a Court, Governmental Agency or Regulatory Authority. We use the information only for statistical analysis or systems administration purposes.

Email addresses

We will record your e-mail address if you transmit it to us electronically either in an e-mail message or via a web page form. It will only be used for the purpose for which you provide it, and will not be disclosed to any third party or added to a mailing list, unless you consent.

Subscription and feedback forms

Some pages of this web site provide the facility for users to fill out an online form for the purpose of subscribing to a special service or to provide us with feedback about our web site. We will ask you to provide only enough personal information to fulfil that purpose. We will record it to facilitate follow-up and for statistical analysis. Only authorised staff will have access to this information.

Search terms that you enter when using our search engine are collected, but are not associated with any other information that we collect. We use these search terms to ascertain what people are looking for at our site, and to improve the services that we provide.

Safety

All information provided to The Safe Step is stored, transmitted and used in a secure and encrypted environment. All information is stored in a secure data centre with 24/7 security.

Promotional material via email

The Safe Step occasionally communicates with its customers using e-mail. This includes telling our customers about market information, job opportunities, events and news. We acknowledge and respect a user's choice to opt-out of marketing communications activities.
