1. General

Crane Group Limited has adopted this Privacy Policy to ensure that it handles personal information about individuals responsibly. This Privacy Policy may be amended from time to time. The Company is bound by the National Privacy Principles contained in the Privacy Act 1988. Acts and practices of the Company in relation to employee records are exempt from the National Privacy Principles in so far as they are directly related to a current or former employment relationship between the Company and the individual.

2. Personal Information

The Company collects, holds and uses personal information about prospective employees. Typically this includes a job applicant's name, address, date of birth, gender, career history and any other required information. This information is needed to assess the suitability of a candidate for a particular position. Once an employment relationship is formed between an individual and the Company, the records the Company holds relating to that individual's pre-employment checks become exempt. If no employment relationship is formed, the Company will destroy the records relating to that individual in accordance with its data destruction policy.

3. Collection of personal information

The Company usually collects this information either from the job applicant or from an employment agency who collects this information on the Company's behalf. If a job applicant decides not to provide the Company with information needed to assess the applicant's suitability for a particular position then the Company may not be able to consider the applicant for employment with the Company.

4. Transfer of information

The Company may outsource to other organisations the recruitment of employees. For this purpose an individual's information may, as required, be transferred to or handled by employment consultants. The Company does not sell or rent out any of the information it holds on job applicants and protects the security of that information.

5. E-Mail and Internet use

The Company will not attempt to identify users of the Company's website or their browsing activities. It will only record an individual's e-mail address if they send the Company a message. An individual's e-mail address will only be used for the primary purpose or a related secondary purpose for which it has been provided it and it will not be added to a mailing list or used for any other purpose without the individual's consent.

6. Access to personal information

An individual can access his or her own personal information by contacting the Company's Privacy Officer. A fee may apply.

7. Resolution or privacy concerns

If an individual is concerned about a breach by the Company of its privacy obligations they should contact the Company's Privacy Officer.
