Privacy matters.

The information we collect depends on how you interact with Firefly.

Recruitment activities may occasionally involve sensitive information.

Depending on the circumstances, this could include information about health or disability, racial or ethnic origin, professional or trade association membership, criminal history or other information classified as sensitive under Australian privacy law.

Firefly will only seek or use sensitive information where it is reasonably necessary for our activities and where we have the appropriate consent or another lawful basis for doing so.

Please avoid providing sensitive personal information unless it is relevant to your interaction with Firefly and you are comfortable providing it.

Firefly does not sell personal information as a standalone commercial product.

Candidate information will only be shared for genuine recruitment or related business purposes.

Where consent is required for a disclosure, Firefly will seek that consent.

Information provided as part of a recruitment process may be retained so Firefly can consider you for current or future opportunities, maintain an accurate history of our interactions and provide recruitment services.

Submitting a CV does not mean that Firefly will automatically provide it to every client or employer.

Where appropriate, Firefly will discuss relevant opportunities and the use of your information with you as part of the recruitment process.

You may contact us at any time if you no longer wish to be considered for opportunities or would like us to review the information we hold about you.

Firefly may hold personal information electronically using secure business systems and third-party technology providers.

We take reasonable steps appropriate to the circumstances to protect personal information against misuse, interference, loss and unauthorised access, modification or disclosure.

No method of electronic storage or transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Where information is no longer reasonably required for a legitimate business or legal purpose, we will take reasonable steps to delete or de-identify it where appropriate.

Information submitted through Firefly's website forms is used to respond to your enquiry and, where relevant, provide recruitment services.

CVs and other documents submitted through the website are stored using private cloud infrastructure.

Authorised Firefly personnel may access this information where required to handle your enquiry or provide recruitment services.

Please ensure that information you submit about another person, such as a referee, is provided appropriately and that they would reasonably expect you to provide it for recruitment purposes.

Some technology and service providers used by Firefly may store, process or access information outside Australia.

Where Australian privacy law applies to an overseas disclosure, Firefly will take reasonable steps required by applicable law in relation to that disclosure.

The countries involved may depend on the infrastructure used by our technology and service providers.

Where it is practicable and legally required to identify likely overseas locations, Firefly will maintain appropriate information about those locations.

Firefly may use software and technology to assist with administrative tasks, search, organisation of information and recruitment workflows.

Human judgement and direct relationships remain central to Firefly's recruitment services.

Where Firefly uses personal information in automated decision-making in a way that requires specific disclosure under Australian privacy law, this Privacy Policy will be updated to explain the relevant use, the information involved and the kinds of decisions affected.

Firefly may contact candidates, clients and professional contacts where the communication is relevant to our recruitment services or an existing professional relationship.

Where required, we will obtain appropriate consent before sending marketing communications.

You may ask us to stop sending marketing communications at any time.

Operational communications relating to an enquiry, recruitment process or existing business relationship are not treated as marketing communications.

You may contact Firefly to request access to personal information we hold about you or to ask us to correct information that is inaccurate, out of date, incomplete, irrelevant or misleading.

We may need to verify your identity before responding to a request.

In some circumstances, Australian law may permit or require us to refuse access. If this occurs, we will explain the reason where legally permitted.

Privacy requests can be sent to: dan@fireflyrecruitment.com.au

If you have a question or concern about how Firefly has handled your personal information, please contact us first so we can investigate and respond.

We will aim to consider privacy complaints promptly and fairly.

Where applicable, you may also have the right to contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

Firefly takes suspected privacy and security incidents seriously.

Where a data breach occurs, we will assess and respond to it in accordance with applicable legal obligations.

Where the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme applies and a breach is likely to result in serious harm, affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner will be notified as required.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our services, technology, business practices or legal obligations.

The current version will always be published on this website.
