Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 7 February 2026

1 About this policy
People in Agriculture (‘People in Agriculture’, ‘we’, ‘us’ and ‘our’) understands the importance of protecting the privacy of your personal information. This policy sets out how People in Agriculture collects, holds, uses, discloses and handles your personal information and your rights in relation to that information.

People in Agriculture is an online platform connecting workers with employment opportunities across the Australian agriculture sector. For the purposes of this policy, ‘you’ or ‘your’ means any individual about whom we process personal information, including job seekers, employers, users of our website, and all other persons who provide personal information to us.

In handling your personal information, People in Agriculture will comply with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) (‘Privacy Act’) and with the 13 Australian Privacy Principles (‘APPs’). This policy may be updated from time to time and the current version will always be available on our website.

You are under no obligation to provide your personal information to us. However, without certain information, we may not be able to provide our services to you. By using our website and services, you consent to us collecting, holding, using, disclosing and otherwise handling your personal information in accordance with this policy.

2 What personal information do we collect?
Personal information is information or an opinion about an identified, or reasonably identifiable, individual. During the provision of our services, we may collect the following types of personal information:

• Name, address, telephone number and email address
• Employment history, qualifications and skills
• Resume or curriculum vitae details
• Employer business details and job listing information
• Device information, IP address and browser type
• Location information
• Log-on and usage data from our website and online platforms
• Any other information you choose to provide to us

If you provide the personal information of another person to us, you must ensure that person has read and understood this policy and consents to their information being handled as described.

3 How do we collect personal information?

3.1 Direct interactions
We generally collect your personal information directly from you through:
• Completion of online forms or registration on our platform
• Job applications or employer account creation
• Email, telephone or other direct communications
• Participation in surveys, events or promotional activities

There may be occasions when we collect your personal information from other sources such as publicly available records or third-party service providers. We will generally only do so where it is unreasonable or impracticable to collect the information directly from you.

3.2 Cookies and analytics
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your browsing activity. Cookies are small files placed on your device when you access our website. They help us understand how our website is being used and allow us to improve your experience.

We may use both first-party and third-party cookies, including analytics services such as Google Analytics. The information collected through cookies may include your IP address, browser type, pages visited, time spent on pages and referring URLs.

You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings. Please note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

3.3 Social media
We use social media platforms to communicate and provide our services. Information you share with us through social media may be collected and used by us. It may also be visible to other users of those platforms, which is beyond our control.

Our website may contain links to third-party websites, which are subject to their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.

4 Why do we collect your personal information?
We collect, hold, use and disclose your personal information for purposes including:

• Providing and improving our services and platform
• Connecting job seekers with employment opportunities in agriculture
• Managing employer accounts and job listings
• Communicating with you about our services
• Administering our website and online platforms
• Conducting research and analysis to improve our services
• Complying with legal and regulatory obligations
• Marketing and promotional purposes (with your consent or as otherwise permitted)

5 Who do we share your personal information with?
We may disclose your personal information to:

• Employers or job seekers as relevant to matching employment opportunities
• Third-party service providers engaged to perform IT, administrative, marketing or other services on our behalf
• Professional advisors such as lawyers and accountants
• Government agencies or regulators where required or authorised by law

All disclosures are made on a confidential basis and subject to agreements prohibiting misuse of personal information. We may also disclose your personal information with your consent or where disclosure is required or authorised by law.

6 Overseas disclosure
We may disclose personal information to overseas recipients for operational or business purposes. Before doing so, we take reasonable steps to ensure the overseas recipient complies with the APPs or is bound by a substantially similar privacy scheme, unless you consent to the disclosure or it is otherwise required or permitted by law.

7 Direct marketing
We may use your personal information to inform you of products, services and opportunities that may be of interest to you, including information related to the Australian agriculture sector. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time by contacting us at the details set out in section 10 or through any opt-out mechanism in our communications.

8 Security of your personal information
We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, interference, loss, unauthorised access, modification or disclosure. We hold personal information in secure electronic systems accessible only by authorised personnel.

However, no data transmission over the internet can be guaranteed as completely secure. Any transmission of personal information to us is at your own risk.

We will destroy or de-identify personal information when it is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or for any secondary purpose permitted under the APPs and the Privacy Act, unless we are otherwise required or authorised by law to retain it.

9 Accessing and correcting your personal information
You have the right to access and seek correction of the personal information we hold about you. To request access or correction, please contact us using the details in section 10.

To process your request:
• You may need to provide proof of identity
• Please be reasonably specific about the information you require
• We may charge a reasonable administration fee for providing access

If we refuse a request, we will provide written reasons and details of complaint mechanisms. We will endeavour to respond to requests within 30 days.
