This Privacy Policy covers Gardening Central’s treatment of personally identifiable information that we collect or hold. Like many other organisations, Gardening Central must comply with the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act in dealing with personal information.
Gardening Central may collect information about you, such as your name, contact details, skills, qualifications, nationality, languages spoken, professional association memberships or accreditations, interests and your employment history and past responsibilities. We may also collect this and other types of personal information, such as references and employment objectives during the course of dealing with you, for example if you are considered for a particular position of employment.
Where practicable, the purpose for which we collect personal information and the consequences of not providing it will be made clear at the time of collection.
Gardening Central will use the personal information we collect for the purpose disclosed at the time of collection, or otherwise as set out in this Privacy Policy. We will not use your personal information for any other purpose without first seeking your consent, unless authorised or required by law. Generally we will only use and disclose your personal information:
a) to establish and maintain your relationship as a website user, client or candidate of Gardening Central, including providing you with interviews, newsletters, reports and other information;
b) to provide the services you have requested from Gardening Central;
c) to answer your inquiry;
d) to assist us to make Gardening Central services more valuable to our clients and candidates;
e) to keep you informed of new developments we believe may be of interest to you. If we contact you in this way without obtaining your prior consent, we will provide you with the opportunity to decline any further communications;
You can access the personal information that Gardening Central holds about you by contacting the Gardening Central Group Human Resources Manager as set out below. We will provide you with access to your personal information unless we are legally authorised to refuse your request. We may charge a reasonable amount for administrative costs in providing access.
If you wish to change personal information that is out-of-date or inaccurate, please contact us. After notice from you, we will take reasonable steps to correct any of your information which is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date.
We may refuse your request to access, amend or delete your personal information in certain circumstances. If we do refuse your request, we will provide you with a reason for our decision and, in the case of amendment, we will note with your personal information that you have disputed its accuracy.
Gardening Central will take reasonable steps to keep secure any personal information which we hold and to keep this information accurate and up to date. Personal information is stored in a secure server or secure files.
The Internet is not always a secure method of transmitting information. Accordingly, while we have sought to protect your personal information by implementing digital security systems in various sections of our website, Gardening Central cannot accept responsibility for the security of information you send to or receive from us over the Internet or for any unauthorised access or use of that information.
