We will abide by it and the Australian Privacy Principles in force under the Privacy Act 1988. You may request a printed copy of this Policy, at no charge to you, by contacting us in the manner outlined at the end of this Policy.

This Policy also applies to our subsidiary companies and associated or related businesses.

WHO WE ARE

Expandus (ABN 62 679 747 627) provides cloud based solutions to franchise networks, recruitment companies, education providers, and their clients. Expandus also provides consumers access to advertising, offers and coupons and may (directly or through its subsidiaries or related businesses) provide recruitment services to candidates. The use, storage and disclosure of any personal information that you may provide whilst utilising Expandus products are described below. In this policy, Expandus is referred to as "we", "us" and "our".

WHAT THIS PRIVACY POLICY COVERS

This privacy policy applies to our treatment of personal information that we collect from users that actively engage with our applications.

This policy does not apply to the practices of organisations that Expandus does not own or control, or to people that Expandus does not employ or oversee even if offers, coupons or links to their websites appear within our applications. We recommend you examine their privacy policies.

WHY WE COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION

Expandus collects and retains personal information about you including your name, address and contact details and details relating to any transactions including job applications, competition entries, surveys and related information such as educational history, employment history, and residency status.

If we did not collect and make use of your personal information, we would be unable to provide you with our services. Further, the personalised nature of our services means that, practically, we are unable to offer them to you on an anonymous or pseudonymous basis.

In particular, we collect your information in order to:

a). Process your job application on behalf of recruitment companies utilising Expandus applications.

b). Make relevant offers to you on behalf of our advertising partners.

c). Directly market educational, career and other opportunities to you.

d). Provide this information to advertisers at your request (if you choose to opt-in to receive communications from one of our advertising partners).

e). Allow employers that use our platform to view any information you provide to us in order to determine whether you are suitable for employment with them, and if so, to contact you (using the contact details you provide) to discuss prospective employment (if you choose to opt-in to this service).

f). Where you apply for a job with us (or one of our subsidiaries or associated businesses), assess your application and (where appropriate) forward your application and personal information to the job advertiser.

g). Enable our network partner to use the information to display content and advertising that are personalised and customised to you.

h). To contact you in the future with coupons or special offers and to provide you with marketing materials via any medium.

If you sign-up to or “opt-in” to a third party advertiser offer/service/database or if you select to receive a third party offer promoted within any Expandus application, you further acknowledge that, Expandus who, in relation to each Third Party Offer you have selected, will provide your personal information to the relevant third party advertiser or provider of each Third Party Offer so that this third party can fulfil the Third Party Offer you have selected.

You further acknowledge that any company that your personal information has been shared with, has the right to contact you with information directly associated to the relevant Third Party Offer.

We may also use your information for compliance purposes and in-house research and analysis.

This helps us to:

a). Improve our understanding of customer needs

b). Create marketing profiles

c). Collection of personal information

Expandus collects personal information when you use or enter information on our websites, subscribe for affiliate offers or complete surveys on websites using Expandus applications.

When you engage with a Expandus application, we may collect a range of data including personal information such as your name, email address, date of birth, address, education and employment history, residency and citizenship status and contact details among other personal details. Personal information is collected at the time you submit a form through a Expandus application, or when your application is forwarded to a Expandus application by a client utilising our systems to which you have applied.

Personal information is generally collected during the course of our contact with you and is largely provided by you. It may be collected verbally in discussions with our employees or agents. It may be supplied in writing by you in the form of job applications, enrolment applications and details, curriculum vitae or academic records submitted by you in hard copy or electronically, either directly to us, or in some circumstances to a third party in which case Expandus is careful to ensure that the third party provides your information with your consent.We may monitor (record) telephone conversations with you for staff training and compliance purposes. We will inform you prior to any telephone conversation which is monitored (recorded) in this way to obtain your prior approval.

COLLECTION OF INFORMATION WHICH IS NOT ‘PERSONAL INFORMATION’

We also collect additional information about your interaction with the Expandus applications, without identifying you as an individual. For example, we use website analytics tools on our websites to retrieve information from your browser, including the website you came from, the search engine(s) and the keywords you used to find the websites that house our applications. We also use technologies, such as cookies and web beacons (described below), to collect information about the pages you view, the links you click and other actions you take on our applications and services. Additionally, we receive certain standard information that your browser, such as your IP address, browser type and language, access times and referring Web site addresses.

When you receive emails or SMS from Expandus, we may use link-tracking and open-tracking application to determine whether the e-mail was opened and whether links are clicked in order to provide a better engagement process with our applications. This software may link to our online databases to identify you as a user to allow our applications to utilise information stored to improve your user experience. An example of this is a link may be sent via SMS that will uniquely identify you to our application so that a webform can be pre-filled with your contact information, making it easier for you to complete forms on a mobile device.

Information we collect from other sourcesIn order to offer you a more consistent and personalised experience in your interactions with Expandus, information collected through one Expandus service may be combined with information obtained through other Expandus services. We may access information about you from third-party sources and platforms (such as social networking sites, databases, online marketing companies and ad targeting companies) and supplement the information we collect with information obtained from those third party sources.

For example,

a). We may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customise certain services to your geographic area.

b). If you connect your third-party social networking service profile (such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter) to the Expandus Network, we may access and use your username, profile image, location information, interests, activities, ‘likes’ and connection list from those services; and

c). We may obtain third party information relating to your advertisement interaction and viewing data, such as ad click-through rates and information about how many times you viewed a particular advertisement or selected a particular offer.
