  • our clients or prospective clients;
  • suppliers or prospective suppliers;
  • independent contractors or any person who applies to become an independent contractor; and
  • employees or persons who apply to become an employee, except where the use or disclosure is directly related to the relationship between us as employer and you as the past or present employee and relates to an “employee record” about you.

Your Consent

What is Personal Information?

For the purposes of this Privacy Policy, “Personal Information” is information or an opinion about you as an identified individual or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether or not the information or opinion is true and whether or not it is recorded in a material form.

An act done or practice engaged in by us as an employer that is directly related to an “employee record” is exempt from the Privacy Act. An “employee record” includes health information and personal information relating to the:

  • engagement, training, disciplining of an employee,
  • resignation or termination of an employee;
  • terms and conditions of employment of an employee;
  • employee’s performance or conduct;
  • hours of employment, salary or wages;
  • personal and emergency contact details;
  • employee’s membership of professional or trade associations or trade union membership;
  • employee’s recreation, long service, sick, personal, maternity, paternity and other leave; and
  • employee’s taxation, banking and superannuation affairs.

Having said that, we treat the personal and health information of each of our employees with absolute confidentiality and strict controls are placed on who has access to such information. We will not disclose your employee records to any third party other than as permitted by law or this Privacy Policy without your prior consent. If a request is made in writing from a third party and you consent to disclosure, we will only confirm or deny information that they have already received from you.

What Personal Information do we collect from you?

The type of Personal Information collected by us may differ, depending on whether you are or would like to become a client, supplier, independent contractor or employee.

Generally, the type of Personal Information collected by us includes your name, address, telephone numbers, email address, age and interests. We may also collect billing information such as credit card number and billing address.

From our employees and/or prospective employees, we may also collect the following information: commencement dates, employment status, location, gender, bank account statements, emergency contact details, qualifications, previous employment details, driver’s licence numbers, car registration numbers, medical and health information, passports, leave summaries, wages and salary information, date of birth, superannuation information, tax file numbers, where relevant visa and immigration information, information relating to performance and conduct.

From time to time, photos may be taken and used for marketing and promotional purposes which may include images of employees and/or clients, from which individuals may be able to be identified. As an employee, your photo may be used within Rebel Monk to identify you.

Via Social Media Sites, we may be able to obtain other information about you which may itself constitute Personal Information or which, when combined with other information, is capable of identifying you, including photos, videos and any other information that you include on our Social Media Sites or sites linked to our Social Media Sites (“Other Sites”). The level of information to which we have access may depend on your privacy settings on such Other Sites.

In some circumstances, you may deal with us anonymously or using a pseudonym. However, in most circumstances it is impracticable to do so because if you do not provide us with the Personal Information that we require or if you provide it in a way that does not identify you, we are likely to be unable to carry out the services or supply the goods requested by you.
